by numerous commission agents Tarare in particular
has received large orders from Germany, which will in

such nature has been spoken OF, which, while saving
Austria from tho humiliation Of appearing yield to

much indirect influence in the Northern provinces might
satisfy the constituencies and the demand for Italian
Independence. But whatever conciatory measures the
Vienna government may have in store for Italy when
called for by necessity its acts to the present towards
