sense of national independence, they will do at

Charles Albert is not much respected He has but
one claim, that of being an Italian prince and of
Italian race The Duke of Tuscany is Austrian the
King of Naples Bourbon. The Sandman family

empire
But republicanism has germed in North Italy as in
North Germany. 1t was on the point of breaking
forth at Turin. and it simply in order to escape
this that Charles Albert marched upon Milan. But
strong municipal and republican spirit prevails in
Lombardy too, whilst the antagonistc sentiment of
loyalty is utterly unknown That Charles Albert or
his dynasty should keep sovereign hold over such
country, aud in such acitated and uncertain times
seems very doubtful. He might do so were he called
