THE Princes and States Of Italy are now
convinced, by the lofes they have repeatedly
experienced during the lalt and prefent century.
that their political exiItcuce is very precarious,
unleis their frontiers are fecur-d. Daring that
epoch they have ieverely fuf-rei by wars with
France. Now they have been happily deliver
ed by the Auarians, they have made conven.
ton, tenfns to their Prelervaton. An Italian
league, or confederation, is to BE eta bliihei
between the Princes and States Of thar country,
for their mutuil falety.
