er complications than peace. In the
former, two interests only are in pre-
sencc Of each otherthe attack and
Il the defense; in the latter, on the con-
trary, the point ii to reconcile 4 multi
tude OF interests, often Of an opposite
!. character. That is what actually oc-
CURED at the moment Of the peace. II
/, was necessary to conclude a treaty
that should secure in tho best manner
possible the independence OF Italy,
which should satisfy Piedmont and the
wishes Of tho population, and yet which
should not wound the Catholic senti-
\ ment or the rights Of the Soyereigns
in which Europe felt an interest.
/ believe, then,th IL the Emperor Of
Austria wished to come to frank I'M
Outstanding with me, with view Of
bringing about this important result,
4 the causes Of the antagonism which for
I centuries had divided these two em-
pires would disappear, and that the re-
generation Of Italy would be effected
Fby common accord, and without further
4bloodshed. .lss III.
now state what are, in my opinion,
the essential conditions Of that regen-
Grafton:
Italyis to be composed OF several
independent States, united BY a federal
bond. VI
Each Of these States to adopt 8
particular representative system and
salutary reforms.
The Confederation To then ratify,
the principle Of Italian nationality; to-
have but one flag, but one system Of
/ Customs, and one currency.
The directing center to be at Rome,
which should be composed of represent
i tatives named by the Soyereigns from
d list prepared by tho Chambers, in
order that, in this species of Diet, the
j influence of the reigning families sus-
4 pected OF q leaning toward Austria
should be counterbalanced by the elc-
ment resulting from election,
By granting TO the Holy Father thu
1 honorary Presidency Of the Confedera,
!, ton, the religious sentiment of Catho
lie Europe would be satisfied, the mora
influence of the Pope would be in
creased throughout Italy, and Woul,
! enable him TO make concessions in con
formity with the legitimate wishes d
the populations. Now, the plan which
4 had Formed at the moment of making
4 peace may still be carried out il you
Majesty will employ your influence in
4 promoting it. Besides, . considerable
advance has been already made in that
4 direction. Il: NJ I: 55z.:
i The cession Of Lombardy with q
1 limited debt is an accomplished fact.
Austria has given up her right To-
keep garrisOns in the strong places Of
1 Piacenza, Ferrara, and Commachio. Is
The rights Of the Soyereigns have,
i it is true, been reserved, but the inde-
tpendence Of Central Italy has also
{ been guaranteed, illGsmuch as all idea
of foreign Intervention has been form
ALLY set aside; and, lastly, Yenetia Is
Ito become province purely Italian.
4 It IS the real interest Of your Majesty,
% Of the Peninsula, to second me ii
the development Of the plan, in order
J to obtain from it the best results, fOr
IEyour Majesty cannot forget that | am
Il bound by the treaty; and / cannot, IN
the Congress which is about to open,
! withdraw MYSELF from nv engagements.
