energetic, the more sslut2ry and useful
has been the impression produced solely
by the intelligence that they were In
movement, and the more essential Is It IN
the eyes Of the Emperor that all the Cab

intentions which would always have d.

The experience Of all ages and cour-
tries warns nations Of the calamities which
| form the inevitable train of crime and
rebellion But last year these great and
eternal lessons were condemned Catas
trophies succeeded each other with az ap-
paling raPidity. Naples demonstrably
evlnced the dangers OF pernicious exam
pie. Become, herself, the theatre Of rev.
olution and the centre of the activity of
sects, this State menaeed Italy with ge-
neral confagration; and Austria, seeing
portion OF her provinces exposed to i'm
minent peril, claimed, in the first place,
the moral support of her Allies The
sincere friend OF his Imperial, Royal and
Apostolic Aaleety, and cony inced. like
that august Monorch, of the evils which
would once more inundate the world, if
the disregard Of all duties should obtain
the apology ola lasting triumph, the En-
Peror espoused, with sincerity, a cause
which his conscience told him was that of
Europe, OF laws, and Of treaties. He did
more AS an in4imate union has been e.
, tabIished, by solemn acts, between the
European Powers, the Emperor offered
to his Allies the aid Of his arms, i'll case
new connections should excite the dread
Of new dangers. We have already seen
how the anticipations of his Imperial Ma
jesty have been verified. Sectarians act
ing in the darkness, which they so much
needed to veil their guilty projects, excit-
ed IN Piedmont an instruction, which
might, by its consequences, retard the
progress Of good Ia the two Sieilies, and,
by compromising the army which was
then advancing upon Naples, encourage
revolt throughout the whole Peninsula
Already alarming symptoms justified dis
quietude for other countries. and from
that moment the Russian troops were
bound TO march. They, in fact, did
march, not TO extend the power of Russia,
or to make the slightest infringement up
on the bounds Of territorial possession,
guaranteed to all the Governments of
Europe, By the treaties concluded since
1914; but TO succour the Allies of the
Emperor; and this, as we have said above
at the express solicitations of his Imper-
ial, Royal and Apostolic Majesty, and of
his Royal Highness the Duke de Gene
vols They marched, not to overthrow
institutions which have emanated from
legitimate authority, but to prevent in
surrection from usurping power which |
would be universal scOurge. Finally,
they marched, not TO obstruct the devel- |
opement of public prosperity. in any State
whatever, but to further the re establish |
ment of order in countries where the |
workings Of evil men had ultimately rem
dered the assistance of foreign force in
dispensable.
s:Such has been, such will always be, |
the sole intention Of the Emperor, should |
he ever find himself again under the neces
sity of putting his armies in motion. No !
burden would have resulted from their |
march, or from their temporary presence.
They would have traversed peaceably the |
immense space which separated them |
from Italy: and as soon as the object was
attained, for which two Monarchs solici- !
ted their aid, the Emperor would have
issued his orders for them to return to
their country.

of war, never the ambitious thought Of ex-
