MAZZINI on THE PEACE OF VILLA
FRANCa.
P,oa PeA.i,ro "a A,io-e, July -.

All our predictions precisely fulfilled. Tue peace
the basis Of the lbe Of the Mincio and the sban-
donment OF yeneiis were announced by Us, when un-
heeoed laid bare the designs secretly planned al
Ploubleres One thing however, mu't be ackno~!-
.dsed-tbe French usurper has surpassed our sH
pecta,ions. The bundle of propositions which Austrs
should be told to accept sf'er the first eS battles,
emauated fram LOUIS Napoleon. Toe Ubiquitous
compact was bis suggestion. And that desPot, ca
ressed, saluied as Lberaor, blessed by Peop'e de-
ud.d but hind and willing 10 oblIterate every record
the in pulse OF heartfelt grsttu for ben-ht
soemLly pronsed-that despot has thought TT to add
ult 10 his sband ,nmept and treason He has con-
rived TO unite for Italy the deceu corruption OF the
p, lucs Of tbe seventeenth century with the brutal
grs.p and With toe nsolence Of the cotqueror: he
has united in bis person the characters of Mephi;-
ophues and Brenuls.
From one epd of Italy to the other, unanimous
deep murner Of anger and menace must resp nd 10
the abOminable news. Every syllable Of the Me'sdg-
po ought to be mortal sab to those who deiuded
themselves into the hope Of acquiring Italian ensnc-
patton from the stepped in crimes and f,ls-hood
Peace, he says, IS concluded oet'ceen mysey ant
"Me Emp-ror Of Austria" The King, whom he
urged to join in his undertaking; from whom, by
the nducemert of prospective empire, he tore away
his daughter; for the support of whose cause he
solemply declared that he took the field as au ally;
who was bis friend and hi. companion in srms-toat
King insulted BY coLtemptuous silence, and is ex
uded from the Imperial conference as If he were a
mere Colonel Of the army. Piedmont which ought
siI il suited the secret motives of Bonaparte to
make war to have been represented in the European
Congress basis Of perfect equality, day is not
admitted into Congress wherein the fate of Italy
l.. L Al. Ill. . h.th
ers take upon themselves to determine respecting
Italy. Neither the fact that she was the ostensible
motive for the war nor the blood she has shed, nor
the having some occasions saved the French from
fatal surprise, por the advantage Of the good will Of
all Italy can suice to entte her to give her aivice
and vote Lombsrdy, on the soil of which tue sol
dies Of Garbaldi first planted the standard OF einanc
patton Lonbariy, wbich assuredy has right TO
express with perfect freedom its Legitimate prefer
ence is given by the Austrian usurpsr to the
Fre1c ch usurper as of a right, so as to bapish
even the appearance Of free choice, and having been
accepted is then ceded fet by the latter to the
Piedmontese King; the people are treated as crts
and the hing as a vsssal. Venets is a second time
sold; vill.f anca col fims Campofomio; the nephew
irscribes bis name in the tradition of infsmy COM
mecced by the uncle. The uncle in Passoriano drew
up notes for democratic constitution for Veneta,
after the prelnnnaries Of Csmpoformo were already
signed; the nephew publicly declared that Austrs
should be compelled to repass the Alps, aud that
Italy should be- independent from the Mediterranean
to the Adriac," and then few days later confirmed
the Austrian domination in Venetis The Tuscan
troops and the vount.e ers of Modena and Parma are
enrolled under the cousin Of the usurpers. M)dena,
Parma, and Tuscany are occupied by the French
troops, almost as q guaranty Of permanent emanci-
patton from their respective princess the fusion OF
NJ, dena aod Parma with Piedmont is encouraged,
ard accepted the popula ions are Induced pub
licy TO compromise themselves, aud then they are
condemned TO be resubected to the old tyrsnnes
You soldiers 10 day said Bonaparte, the other
day to the Italians, with bitter irony that you may
become tomorrow free citizens" Among the
wretched oppressions which weigh upon Italy, the
very worst ia that Of the Pope. The constant protest
of the population az gaipst the Papacy is a fact &C
knowl.dg and confirmed by all Europe. The
insure ecton Of ten cities, accomplished without
the shedding Of dropof blood, is solemn declara-
ton of the sentiment OF the Roman provinces.
Shrek of profound indignation against the Papacy
arose in consequence Of the massacre of Pefuga and
to those provinces is decreed new Slavery whie the
Papa ferocity is reconpenssd by the promise oi the
Proficiency Of the Italian Confederation The eman-
cpation Of Italy, the abnihilaton Of all Austrian au
thori'y south Of the Alps, the creation OF strong
kingdom in Northern Italy, tire engagements agreed
to with the scandaously d.luded representatives. OF
the Hur gsrian nationality, every word written or
spok.n in Paris and in Man-sl all is beed 10 few
senterces dated from Valego. Lonbardy, rendered
independent is left defepseess, and open to attack
whenever her enemy may judge it convenient. Aus
tria has now ber forces concentrated Ienceforth,
tLn.., .A
in all future times, under toe name aud cloak of
Venea to intervene 10 the affairs of Italy, and the
Pope raised to the Presidency Of the imaginary Con-
federation that Austria and that Pope-inevitsbly and
Of course sustained by the military contingent of all
the Statescome out of the war stronger than before
though France has lost 20 600 men, and Piedmont has
| sacrificed the flower of her army.
DO not know whether France the moral condition
of which country not very easy to be comprehended
by apy one who has correct estimate OF right, OF
honor and of liberty, will rest satisfied with the mis-.
use of ber name and Of her elements Of life at the
csprce of a despot, l DO kaow, however, that
Italy will not forget the treason Or the iosult. Those
who through their blind alteration OF power, have
forgotten morality, history the lessons OF the past
and the advice Of the good and true-those who con-
tamipatsd themselves by ssrve obsequiousnees and
feigned erthusias for him who has trampled on his
own and on peighboring nation, they have nothing
l-ft them but hstred Of the usurper. Such hstred
will inexorsbly clirg to the man Of lies. Let the
watch ~ord be EILLAFRAscA-RoNE!
And tie Kipgl The soldier desirous of our ma.
tiopa indeperdence' The man who had heard and
felt the cry Of despair from all Italy He who would
make the nation osEl Is there not, then in him a
spark Of honor, of dsnifed feeling for the
