this country. These letters, some Of
which, with the usual indiscreton of the
Hungarian Ex-Governor, he permitted TO
be published at the time, indicated with
remarkable accuracy what would be the
course which under certain circumsiassss

II had for President the Marquis Pallav-

Garibaldi. Count Cavour, il not it's orig

Emanuel as the future King gofftay. The
brave and honest King Is not without a
laudOble ambition, and he very naturally
