in it's lot with France and Piedmont OF all the Italian
States the Grand Duchy has been the least msgoverned

find long scoreo which they must nov discharge
Even short while back lsis, the present Grand
Duke might have conciated himself the good will and
respect Of his people-or HIS in truth had never been

He violated every promise, express Implied which he
had made In the midst OF the turDos OF that eventfu

enduring and patient than the inhabitants OF tne
other Italian States; whether 1t Is that the manner ID
which the rulers had exercised their sway despotc as

of other Italian princes whether Tuscany lay 30

This was demand to which the Grand Duke was no.
