was rendered to the poverty, the sufferings, and the
ashes of this advocate. Let then this voice be lis-
tened to, as it reminds France and enlightened
Europe of their duty.
" Finally, Austria can no longer govern Italy.
Even an Austrian prince unattended by an Austrian
force would be superfluous, and his presence would
not only be a source of disagreeable recollections,
but moreover of considerable danger to the Austrian
Empire, the dignity of France, and the tranquillity
of Europe.
" The solemn hopes given to Venetia should not
be eluded. It is possible that for this land of Italy,
still not free, two hundred thousand French mothers

lived in anguish during ten successive weeks,
hourly dreading to learn that their offspring had
been stricken by Austrian grape ? Would it be
believed that for this land of Italy, still not free,
Napoleon 111. will have staked his life and his
destiny, and that which is dearer to him than life,
the honour of France and the heritage of a great
name, that weighs upon him like a heavy and
resplendent burthen ?
" Let Europe, then, in gratitude for the peace
which he insures her, assist him to cast away the
load of sorrow of that thought, and it will be for
the forerunner of life to hear the blessings that will
arise in this land of grand ideas and great mis-
brtunes.
