You'd any doubt, II doubt there could be- the
policy of England on the Italian question. -
Lord John Russell has ever been known as an
ardent friend OF the Italian race, italian free
dom and Italian unity.
Asthese feelings have been generally shown

Were the question to lie confined to the
present state OF affairs the policy TO be pur-

about to be attacked Immediately on the
East, and on the South the whole peninsula
is rising against her and cxpelllng her allies
and her garrisons.
The only advice to be given is that Austria
should accommodate herself to these painful
circumstances, Just as Eng land admitted the
Independence of the United States. and France
has twice submitted to the dictation of inva-
ders. There can be no glory gained by a
stubborn and even victorious resistance to the
just claims Of great nation, and it is unwist
