COUNT CAvoURs REPLY TO ENGLAND.

M. IL
l4ih of this month-a copy Of which You viii nnd
closed-has asked me, the name Of his government, IL
Sardinia would be disposed TO follow the example Of Aus
trja and TO declare in formal manner las Count Buol
on hs paf declared Ausiras intention not 70 attack
Piedmont his despatch TO Count Apponyi Of the 25h Of
january that Sardinia has intention Of attacking her
powerful reiRhbor.
Approaching the motives which have inspired such
course the part Of the Cabinet OF St. Jamess do
not hesitate TO him with the most perfect frank
ness as We have done few days since when he asked us
TO draw up memorandum, clear and precise, OF the
complaints Of Italy against Austria, and TO indicate the
In Of aggressive (wha. other name can
we give tnen committed by Austria by the concensra
ton of imposing forces the Sandman frontier; by
p,acirg war footing the army Of Italy, by tie cosc-
tim and occupation 9 nsp Notifications ground
ch does not bslong her; BY the occupation Of the Lego
ons; and by th M aton # treaties, the government Of
the King according to the Law Of nations has right 70
prepare to defend herself against Austria by means
Of arms. England implicitly acknowledged such right
when short time since through the medium Of her Min
stcr Of Foreign Aas by the weight Of her great autho
rity, by the solemn means of diplomatic action she
denned the unjust measures employed by Austria in
seuueserpg the estates Of Sandman subects and agreed
that II, under such circumstances, the dangers of war
prevented, it resulted from the great moderation of
the Sandman government.
Accordingly, as her Britannia Majesty's government
has acknowledged the abnormal state Of Italy, and pro
missed 20 Sardinia that England would endeavor 10 find
remedy for the evils complained Of the Sandman govern
ment awaiting itself OF ouch promises, and reserving it's
liberty of action in case Austria shoud abstain for the
future from committing aggressive acts Sardinia is ready
give her that IL IL not her intention attack
Austria And she agrees this subject make decla-
ration the came that contained the despacb OF Count
Buo which, in reality s nothing but long and bitter
accusation against Sardinia and tue politics Of the Cabinet
over which have the honor to preside.
The speeches delivered in Parliament explaining
politics. the dispatches and circulars which have been
communicated TO the Cabinet Of 81. James, and par
ucuiarly the memorandum addressed TO England and
Prussia, the justice OF which Lord Manesbury entirely
agrees, explain and justify oonduet completely
think therefore, need not the present casiop "a
flute one by the arguments which Count Buo efrSB
in
cause Of the abnormal condition OF Italy.
Such arguments cannot have any value with any i'm
partial person who remembers the events which have
succeeded each other from the Of the pre-
sent year
The military preparations continually taken by Austria,
and pointed out in despatch VI have ali preceded
the justable action Of The Sandman government The
speech from the throne at the opening Of the Sandman
Parliament was only pronounced on The 10th of January
and yet the Sd OF the month new corps dnyme
was suddenly sent to Austrian Italy.
Our loan did not take place until after Austria had
endeavored 10 nesetiite much larger loan In London
Finally, If have called our contingent leaving
our reserves at their homes II until Austria had
ordered her Italian army 70 be placed complete war
footing that we we're convinced that should find our
selves long In the aD Of OF the largest armies
that ever crowded the soil Of italy
These facts form strange commentary on the pacific
protestatons which cose the Austrian despatch and II
would be difficult TO reconcile them IT, in the diplomatic
in question: did not ind the intimate ideas Of Aus
tra the Italian question.
Without admitting srch q conclusion and being CON.
WINGED that the destruction of the liberal Institutions of
Piedmont, instead Of assuring pence, Wouldthe Italians
beng reduced 10 desparresult IN revolution still we do
hesitate 10 acknowledge there IN much truth ia the
thought which inspired thus part Of the despatch Of the
Austrian Minster.
Count Buoi, after having rapidly examnei, from his
point Of view, the events which have succeeded eacb
1s4S finishes By declaring that If Italy ia pro-
foundly aaated, If the people dscontented IL the
governments have done nothing satisfy the legitimate
desires Of their subjects, this oil originates in the views
and spirit Of turbulence which liberty has deveoped in
Piedmont; in fact, awaiting myself Of Count Buos words
Through the Introduction IN that country pedmopt) OK
Institutions which work well when they have been de-
veoped and matured by but which do not seem 70
be in accordance with the genius, traditions and social
condition Of Italy"
Count Buoi also points out, ss principal remedy 70
such state Of things be gravity Of which he does not
attempt to nde), the united action OF the great Powers
to be exercised with the object Of modifying the pstltu
lions Of Piedmont in fact, ~ sitting ne tyfv Of pied

ninsuta toould become ogdtp TRANQUIL
The contrast presented by Piedmont with the Provinces
under the dominion Of Austria striking not 10 pro
duce n profound irritation in Austria The example of
Piedmont proving contrary the assertion Of Count Buo
that the Italians arc susceptible Of liberal d progres
sye ,egie, makes the military system az Austria more
