In lS4s some of the liberals of Italy committed
the some blunder in reposing confidence in the
Charles Albert of 1920, 1881 and 1884. He rushed
into Lombardy so soon as he heard OF the nsurrec-
tion, because he expected to add that province and
the Guches to bis State, if the popular movement
were successful certainly he did not desire Italy since
he refused der any conditions to Interfere with the
Pope. And what happenedf The revolution which
stantly paralized on the arrival OF the King, who
checked the popular enthusiasm brought everything
to state of naction allowed time to the Austrians
to rally and receive renfOrcements, and having lost
one little BATTLE consigned Milan and all LOmbardy
and Venice to the Austrians, giving orders to
his generals to surrender the city and forts OF Venice
itself. But in the city there we're, under General

The material resources upon which Italy as de-
mocracy rely are much greater than those which
the King of Piedmont offer. He has but little
regular army his finances are exhausted and in his
troops there are many more than he may suppose,

any material benefit could be expected from it; but
since the king would not accept their services with
confidence, they would become useless.
The il in italy much material aid which would
