The London Times of. the a4h of Iua.,
contains the following REMARKS On the
union of the Lieurian republic with the
French empire
That which every oae expected who
has watched the ambition and policy of
Bonaparte, as TO what has regarded the
states of Italy,, has come to pass-he has
united the Ligurian republic or Genoa, mot
with his kingdom of Italy, but with the
French empire! How far this union ia 10
the spirit ofshose principles which he ad-
.vauced, when he deignedto exeepr&he sove-
reignty ofthe kingdom of l,sly ,she powers Of
the continent, who are the; most interested
in the event, are the + st enabled tojudge
There is however one striking differ
ence in these two unions, a difference Ger.
tainly more in name, than effect, which GER
telnty cannot escape the most superficial
observer. The kingdom of Italy by Its
fundamental constitution, cannot, after the
demise of Bonaparte, fall under the sove-
reighly ofthe same person who wears the
crown of France the Ligurisn republic is
absolutely incorporated with, and become
part andparcel of the French Empiie.--
Wharf.-The policy or caprice might have beer
which has given rise TO those different t.
hures, il is not worth while 10 enquire.
nor are the condiiioss which he has been
pleased 20 impose upon himself, Likely TO
allay the jealousy Of Austria or Naples.
From The moment that he became presi.
dent of the Italian Republic, his gigantic
views to the ultimate sovereignty OF the
whole of Italy, were clearly revealed but
we did not expect tina. he would have pro-
ceeded so rapidly to The accomplishment
of his purpose. There is IN the cream
stance of this union, as well as mall It's
preliminaries and details, a,eharacter pecu>
favly hostile to this country, aud insulting
IN no small degree to the court Of Vienna.
