the extracts we make from its article OF the 22d Of SEP
tember After quoting from the Union portion Of ou
remarks exposing the unison OF sentiment between h

Cuba expedition and the abduction OF Rey, La Croaa
says:
According this the wing party might accuse the demo

La Cronica does not reason like Plato: but il commits
great blunder, and knowingly, too. we suspect

Italy, have been, and now, unfriendy to the aris
cratic and monarchical institutions which have beer
fixed and fastened upon them. Sometimes they have
been in open and armed hostility to their kings an|
princes and, driven by armed conservatism froJ

La Croniea proceeds:
