After the campaign of 1912. the king

he had commanded corps. He had
scarcely arrived in his capital, whenh
caused overtures to be made to the Aus

Austrian cabinet his mediation between
the allies and the French emperor. The
glorious 18th OF October decided the fall

to his dominions, and Immediately re-
newed the negotiations that had been
broken off repecting his accession to the
European alliance. He caused his army

partition of Italy. The Pc was to be the

On the 18th of January, 1914, the

expence OF neighbor, who in military
point of view was wholly inoffensive, aud
in political point of view of the highest
importance. Moderation and good iaitil

the princes of the new French dynasty.
King Joachim, however, instead OF think

He prepared the execution oil them by
taking advantage of all the elements OF a
political and military revolution none
of his plans nor of his movements escaped
the Austrian cabinet. This was not the
way to bring over to his side the opinion
of the courts who opposed the admission
OF the king of Naples to a place among
the sovereigns of Europe. AS the burden
of the military exertions was too great
for the kingdom to bear, the king resolv-

France, for which end he required no
thing less than the passage through mid

On the 25th and Goth of February, his
imperial majesty sent declarations to the
French and Neapo itan governments, an

never to allow the tranquility of middle
and upper Italy to be endangered by the
marching in or passage of foreign troops.
His imperial majesty gave orders for the
