"The object, then, of this war is to restore Italy to

herself, not to impose upon her a change of masters,
and we shall then have upon our frontiers a friendly
people, who will owe to us their independence.
". We do not enter Italy to foment disorder, or to
disturb the power of the Holy Father, whom we
replaced upon his throne, but to remove from him
this foreign pressure, which burdens the whole
Peninsula, and to help to establish there order based
upon lawful satisfied interests.
" In fine, then, we enter this classic ground, ren-
dered illustrious by so many victories, to seek the
footsteps of our fathers. God grant that we may
be worthy of them. . .
"I am about to place myself at the head of the
army. I leave in France the'Empress and my son.
Seconded by the experience and the enlightenment
of the Emperor's last surviving brother, she will
understand how to show herself worthy of the
grandeur of her mission. I confide them to the
valour of. the army which. remains in France to
keep watch upon our frontiers and to protect our
homes. I confide them to the patriotism of the
National Guard. I confide them, in a word, to the
entire people, who will encircle them with that
affection and devotedness of .which I daily receive

so many proofs. . .
"Courage, then, and union! Our country is
again about to show the Nworld that she has not
degenerated.

"Providence will bless our efforts, for that cause
is holy in the eyes of God which rests on Justice,
Humanity, Love of Country, and Independence."
