SECOND PROCLAMATION OF VICTOR
EMMANUEL.

• TURIN, APRIL 30.
A proclamation of which the following is a full
analyiis, has been placarded to-day in Turin and
throughout the kingdom :
" Austria, while making profession of a love of
peace, attacks us, and refuses the jurisdiction of an
European Congress. She violates her promise made
to England ; she asks us to reduce our army and to
abandon the brave volunteers who have flocked from
all parts of Italy to defend the sacred flag of Italian
independence. I confide the government to my well
beloved cousin, and I resume my sword. The -valiant
troops of the Emperor Napoleon, my generous
ally, will fight for liberty and justice side by
side with us. Peoples of Italy! Austria attacks
Piedmont for having defended the cause of our
common country in the councils of Europe, and
because she has not been deaf to your cries of
anguish. Austria now openly tears up those
treaties which she has never herself observed. The
Italian nation is this day already five in point of
right, and :I may now conscientiously accomplish
the vow I made upon the tomb of my august father.
Let us confide in Providence, in our union, in the
valour of Italian soldiers, and in the alliance of the
noble. French nation. Let us rely upon the justice
of public opinion. I have no other ambition than
that of being the first soldier of Italian indepen- •
denCQ. ilea Italia." .

This problamation, signed " Victor Emmanuel,''
is countersigned " Count Cavour."

THE MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR OF
AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, APRIL 29.

The manifesto addressed by the Emperor of
•
Austia to the entire population• of Ins empire com-
mences with these words : • •

" I.have .given orders to my•brave and faithful
armfto put'an end to the attacks which a neigh-
bouring State, Sardinia, has been for several years
past in the habit of making upon the undoubted
rightS 'of my crown and the integrity of the empire
confided to me by Divine Providence." It goes on
to say that ió spite of the generesiity and good inten-
tions of which Austria has given so many proofs
during the last ten years, the hostility of Piedmont
has Continually augmented, and has recently dis-
played itself in a most especial manner by extreme
agitation and revolutionary propagandism. The
manifesto alludes to the effmts of diplomacy to
bring about an arrangement, adding that the re-
fusal of Piedmont to agree to a disarmament had
rendered an appeal to arms necessary. He speaks
of the horrors of war, but says that the monarch
must repress the impulses of his heart when
honour and duty call upon him to march, when
an armed enemy is upon his frontiers united with
all those subversive parties whose object is to ap-
propriate the Austrian States of Italy to them-
selves, and when the Sovereign of France, med-
dling, under frivolous pretexts, with the affairs of
the Italian peninsula, is sending troops to the
