an article of some length, from which we take the
following extract:
1t is supposed that the Austrians defeated in the
open field by the Allies or refusing battle, will
retreat and seek refuge in the formidable triangle of
Orrcsses situated to the south of the Lake of Grada
and formed by Mantna, Verona and Peschiera. 1t is
said that that position is impregnable or at least
that the Austrians, occupying it, can indefinitely
prolong the war. Let US suppose for moment the
hypothesis realized. II the Austrians seek refuge
behind the cannon of their fOrtresses, after battles
lost avoided, the effect will be the same both for
Europe and their troops, definitiye defeat-for
to the soldier, to everybody else, to conquer is to
advance-to retreat is to be vanquished; and if the
Austrian troops abandon Lombardy, and retire to
the triangle, Austria will confess, both before her
own army and before Europe, her absolute want of
power to maintain q campaign, and to defend her
Italian possessions. But can power govern which
cannot protect2 From the moment that the Austrian
army is confined within the celebrated Triangle the
object of the war undertaken by the Emperor Ma
poeon will be very nearly attained, US Lombardy
will be almost entirely delivered from the foreign
yoke.
The Austrian Governors will quit the towns the
country will be organized on the basis of its own ma

the people become free; the Italian flag will tri-
umphantly float from every hill. In this picture
there would be only one dark spot. The presence of
the Ausrans in their last fortresses would cause the
state OF war to continue inasmuch as it would be
