who we're tho subjects Of il. bat without tie
knowledge on their part that they -ere ttss being
bsre.ined away and disposed Of Two Armies from
beyond the Alps meet add fight IN the plains Of
Jomba,dy. After q six weeks struggle the for
.;gn soysreisns Of these foreign armies under
take 70 settle and arrange the Affairs Of Italy
without tsking a single Italian in'o their
councils. The Kipg Of Sardinia, who IN a
military point Of view had been placed the level
Of French general seems TO have had no more
share or voice in the final arrangement than u be
had been in fact, merely French general
II was the ground Of the complaints 80 loudly
urged By SARDINIA against Austria not merely that
she claimed general superintendence Of Italian
affairs but that che vas the advocate Of al existing
abuses; that it was her policy 70 keep things 81
they were interfering with the Internal adlninlstra
ton Of Der Italian peigbbors, sbd claiming the
right to suppress by force Of arms any attempt on
the part Of the inhabitants Of tbOsr countries TO
modify or improve their political c0nditi'n And
what more respect is paid TO italian sentiment and
wishes, or to that right Of revolution oi "hch
Ssrdiria was the patron, under the new arrange
ucut than upder the old one The ltthnn dGcbirs
south Of the 20, though their preferred aid ia the
war WIS accepted, are, 1t would seem nnder
the treaty f peace TO be handed nack 10
their expelled princes. In no part Of Italy has
u;sooyerument been more complained OF than IN
tie States If the Church. The INSTRUMENTATION
Of those States and the cOuntenance and support
given by Austria TO that mathematician. have
been prominently set forth az one OF the worst
features if not the very worst feature IN the late
condition of Italian agairs. But, though Austria has
been obliged TO rehDquish her armed protectorate
Of the States Of the Cnurch the unfortunate nhab-
itspts of those Territories have gained nothing by
the change France supports the temporal author
ity Of the Holy See 10 full rs great an extent as
Austria eve did; and since the abuses OF the Roman
Government are regarded by the Italian patriots as
inscpsrablc from its saccrdoal character there
seems 10 be no hope o. improvement. France, IN
the positOn which she now holds of ssie protector
Of The Pope makes herself IN fact more Responsible
for the abuses of the Roman Government than
Austria ever was.
With respect TO the Italian Confederation which
forms part Of the new arrangement there IS THIS
TO be- Cbserycd: Either that Confederation VIII be
political crafty possessing certsin degree OF
power and influence or else mere sham II 1t BE-
The latter, Italian union, liberty, and Development
can gain nothing by it. II be reality, consider
ing the clements of which it is composed, what can
be expected from it1 Austria (sitting in 1t for
the Province or Kingdom Of Venice the Pope and
the King of Naples combined in the interests of
despotsm, will easily carry the day against Sardinia
even if the other smaller States should side with
her. Austria may even avail herself of this new
star ding ground to control over the other
Italian States quite Is Objectionable to say the
least as that which she lately claimed to exercise
under special treaties with them.
