Lastly, she considered that France and England
and all civilized nations must feel how noble and
generous IT is Of government and a nation who
incur the risk Of encountcring. one OF tn. most
powerful states OF the world, for the sake OF OBJ
tanning national independence, and Of freeing u
part OF their brethren from the most cruel oppres-
SIGN.
Having, moreover, cast glance on the state of
the Peninsula, Sardinia at once perceived that the
national desire for Independence every where
constantly exists. That it inspires the people
every where with generous passions, that even ig-
noble and bad instincts prefer that Disguise for the
sake OF outward appearance, and that the fun mt
of this desire will be conducive to the progress of
every beneficial influence, and serve as check to
every bad one. 1t was further convinced, that the
only means of uniting the divided spirit of the
nation, is to stimulate itby example 10 consccrate
seli to the great national enterprise to which they
FASTENED with such enthusiasm in March and
April OF the preceding year And having weighed
all the chances, examined the remote and imme-
dlate causes OF the last events, it has to the
Italy than for the whole of the Peninsula to be de-
lvered from the present state in which otherwise
the most important conditions of political and
cial existence would be placed in jeopardy.
After all these considerations the Sandman 60
vemment saw that there was but one course open
TO il; 1t had no choice but war, and it decided
cordingy
After the many and fragrant violations of the
armistce, committed by Austria, Sardinia, whose
constituted powers neither recognized nor ratified
it, certainly had right not to consider herself
obliged TO give notice of its cessation still she
waived this right, to show to the last the respect
she has for convention, though it be imposed,
and for those rules and usages which expedency
and generosity have rendered involable between
civilized nations.
On the 18th of the present month of March, the
government of Sardinia has announced to Austria
the cessation of the armistce.
Europe will Judge between Sardinia and Austria
She will pronounce whether, on one. side, respect
for an imposed convention, moderation and
patience, and, on the ether, the infringement of
conditions, violence and insult could be carried
further; and IN the struggle which s about to re-
commence, she will certainly not refuse her sym
pathy for those who fight for the imprescriptible
rights of nations, and the sacred principles of hui
mainly
The Sandman government invokes such SYM
pathy from all civilized nations; it invoks it from
the high powers who had already placed their
good Offices at her disposal; from all those nations
who formerly. or at the present moment, fought or
fight for their independence, and know how bitter
1t invokes sympathy even from Germany, whose
similarity of language, vicinity and habits of in
tercourse with the Austrians, should not make her
forget how hostile she has been and can be to the
restoration OF her powerful nationality. 1t nvokes
1t with more fervor and confidence from the people
OF this Peninsula, who all, notwithstanding the
faults and errors OF so many ages, are still united
by their recollectlons, feelings, hopes and hearts.
It's thus the war of national independence is re-
sumed Ii the hopes OF success are not so bright
as IN the preceding year, the is still the same;
1t is holy as the right which all nations have, who
are masters of the soil on which God has placed
them; 1t Is great as the name and the recolections
of Italy. And, certainly, the wishes of Italy will
follow us on those fields where the Subapine army,
and its magnanimous King, with his bold sons,
gave such 0endid proofs Of vaor, intrepedity, and
patience where our brethren of Lombardy, We
nice, and the duches have during seven months
suffered the most bitter insults, the most cruel tor
lures. We therefore trust we shall avenge the suf-
ferings of our country deliver with our arms what
ever part of is in the hands of the stranger, free
heroic Venice from its long siege, and found Italian
independence.
