that order viii be effectually re-established
in the states of his Sandman Majesty. The
royal government there, has ayailed itself OF
the proximity of the Lombardo- Venetian
kingdom; and it is temporary assistance OF
corps Of occupation, composed of Austrian
troops, which it has required to restore to
Piedmont the enjoyment of an internal, Sc
cure and solid peace.
All our wishes seek this great and saluta-
ry result; but as the measure of safety which
it requires, and which the Sandman govern
ment itself has solicited, is about to become
the object of direct arrangement between
Sardinia and Austria, under the guarantee of
the allied courts and as the presence Of our
troops would be henceforth useless, the order
to retrograde has already been dispatched to
them. On the other hand, the more the res
olution to make them operative was ener-
getick, the more salutary and useful has been
the impression, produced solely by the intel
hgence that they were in movement, and the
more essential is it in the eyes of the Emper-
our, that all the cabinets of Europe should
know and appreciate the serious considera-
tions which induced his imperial Majesty to
have recourse to arms, and the noble and
pure intentions which would always have di-
rected the employment OF them.
The experience of all ages and countries
warns nations of the calamities which form
the inevitable train of crime and rebellion.
But last year these great and eternal lessons
were contemned. Catastrophes succeeded
each other with an appalling rapidity. Ma
pies demonstably evinced the dangers of
pernicious example. Become, herself, the
theatre of revolution, and the centre of the
activity of sects, this State menaced Italy
with general eonfagration and Austria,
seeing a portion her provinces exposed to
imminent peril, claimed, in the first place.
the moral support of her Allies. The sincere
friend of his Imperial, Royal, and snpstolick
Majesty, and convinced, like Als,.laugust
Monarch, of the evils which woysM once
more inundate the world, if the disregard of
all duties should obtain the apology of a last
ing triumph, he Emperour espoused, with
sincerity, Cause which his conscience told
him was that of Europe, of laws, and of trea-
ties. He did more. As an intimate union
has been established, by solemn acts, be-
tween the European Powers, the Emperour
offered to his Allies, the aid of his arms, in
case new CONNEXIONS should excite the dread
of new dangers. We have already seen how
the anticipations of his Imperial Majesty have
been verified. Sectarians acting in the dark
ness, which they so much needed to veil their
guilty projects, excitedi in Piedmont an insur-
rcction which nsight, by its consequences, re-
tard the progress of good in the two Sicilies,
and, by compromising the army which was
then advancing upon Naples, encourage re-
volt Throughout the whole Peninsula. AL
ready alarming symptoms justified dispute
tude for other countries and from that mo-
ment the. Russian troops were bound to march.
They, In fact, did march, not to extend the
power of Russia, OF to make the slightest in
fringement upon the bounds of territorial pos
session, guaranteed to all the governments of
Europe, by the treaties concluded since 1874 :;
but to succour the Allies of the Emperour ).
and this, as we have said above, at the ex-
press solicitations of his Imperial, ROYAL and
Apostolick Majesty, and of his ROYAL High
ness, the Duke de. Genevois. They marched
not to overthrow institutions which have
emanated from legitimate authority, but to
prevent insurrecton fSnm usurping a power
which would be a universal scourge. Final
ly, they marched, not to obstruct the de-
velopement of pubIick prosperity, in any
State whatever, but to further the re-estab-
hshment Of order in countries where the
the assistance of a foreign force Indispensable.
= Such has been, s8ch will always be, the
sole intention OF the. Emperour, should he
ever md himself again under the necessity of
putting his armies in motion. No burden
would have resulted from their march, or from
their temporary presence. They would have
trayersed peaceably the immense space which
separated them from Italy and as soon as
the object was attained, for which two Mon
archs solicited their aid, the Emperour would
have issued his orders for them to return to
their country.
" We are justified, therefore, in repeating
and affirming that never did the love of war,
never the ambitious thought of exercising an
exclusive influence in the councils of other
Monarchs, or upon the destinies of people
confided by Providence to their care, direct
the policy of his Imperial Majesty.
= lrrefragablc facts now attest the sinceri-
ty of this language.
=" Malevolence ascribed to Russia hostile
views with regard to the Porte. Disturban-
ces manifested themselves in Wallachia and
Moldavia and our conduct as well as our
declarations have shewn that we are deter
mined to observe the rights of nations and the
faith OF treaties, in our relations with the Tur-
kish government.
g They were pleased, afterwards, to insn-
uate, that we had abandoned our projects a.
gainst Turkey, to invade the western terrific
ries of Europe. A signal contradiction has
confounded the authors of these odious accu-
sations and the march of our armies, sup
ported and maintained by all the strength of
the empire, has been stopped, the moment
we were certainly assured that the legitimate
