NAPOLEONs ITALIAN LETTER.

NAPOLEON'S ITALIAN LETTER.
The following Is letter addressed by the Emperor
of the French, the seth Oct, to the King of Sar-
dinia
MossEUR MoN FRTRE: | write to-day to YOUR
Majesty IN order forth to you the presen stua-
ton OF affair." to remind You of the past and to settle
with you the course which ought to be followed for
the future. The circumstances are grave II Is reqis
tie to Law aside Illusions and sterile regrets and to
examine carefully the real state Of Affairs. Thus. he
question not now whether have done well or in "a
making peace at yafranea, but rather to obtain fron.
the treaty results the mos, favorable o- the paehc
ton of Italy and for the repose Of Europe
Before entering the discussion Of TIN. question,
am anxious 10 recall more TO your Majesty the
obstacles which rendered every denitive negotiation
and every deinitiye treaty difficult.
In point OF fact, war has often fewer complications
than peace. In the former two interests ouiy are IN
presence Of each otherthe attack and the defsnse IN
The latter, the contrary the point Is to reconcile
multitude Of Interests, often OF opposite character
This is what actually occurred al the moment OF the
peace. 1t wac necessary to conclude treaty thai
shoud in the best manner possible the inde-
pendence OF Italy, which should satisfy Piedmont aud
the wi-es OF the population. and yet which should not
wound the Catholic sentiment the rights OF the Sow
ereigns in whom Europe felt an lnerest.
| believed then, that if the Emperor of Austria
wished TO come to a frank understanding with me,
with the view of bringing about this important result,
the causes Of antagonsm which for centuries bad d.
yided these two empires would disappear aud that the
regeneration of Italy would be effected by ac-
cord, and without further bloodshed
now state what are, IN my opinion, the essential
conditions OF that regeneration:
Italy to be composed of several independent States,
united by federal bond.
Each of these States TO adopt particular represens
tative system and salutary reforms
The Confederation 10 then raIfy the principle OF
Italian nationality; TO have but one flag but one sys-
TEN Of Customs, and one currency.
The directing center TO be at Rome which should be
sod of named by the SOyPrcgnS
from list prepared by the Chambers, in order that IN
this species Of Diet the influence OF the reignIng
families suspected of leaning toward Austria should
be counterbaanced by the element resulting from cleo
ton.
BY granting to the Holy Father the honorary Presi-
denev of the Confederation the religious sentiment OF
Catholic Europe would be satisfied, the moral influence
of the Pope would be increased throughout Italy, ana
would enable him to make concessions in conformity
with the legitimate WISHES Of the populations Now,
the plan which had formed at the moment OF making
peace may still be carried out II your Majesty VIII
employ Your influence in promoting it, Besides, a
considerable advance has been already made IN that
direction.
The cession of Lombardy with limited debt is an
accomplished act.
Austria has given up her right to keep glrrsons in
the strong places OF Piacenza, Ferrarn and Com
machio.
The rights of The Sovereigns have it is true been
reserved, but tie independence OF Central italy mas
ao been guaranteed, nasmuch as all idea OF foreign
Intervention has been formally set aside; and lastly,
Veneta il to become province purely Italian IL Is
the real interest of your Majesty as OF the Peninsula
to second me in the development Of the plan in order
TO obtain from il the best results, for your Majesty can
not forget that am bound by the treaty. and cannot,
in the Congress which is about to open, withdraw my
cell from my engagements. The part OF France Is
traced beforehand.
We demand that Parma and PlacenLa shall be united
10 Piedmont because this territory Ia, in strategeal
point of view, Indispensable to her.
We demand that the Duchess OF Parma shall be
called TO Modena;
That Tuscany augmented, perhaps by portion of
territory, shall be restored 70 the Grand Duke Ferdi-
nand;
That system Of moderate (sage) liberty shall be
adopted in all the States of Italy;
That Austria shall frankly dsengage herselffrom an
incessant cause Of embarrassment FOX the FUTURE ana
tlat she shall consent to complete the nationality of
VeDetia by creating not only separate representation
and administration, but also an lta!an army.
We demand that the fortresses of Mantua end PES
chiera shall be regarded as federal fortrcsres
And lastly that "A Confederation, based on the real
wants az well the traditions of the Peninsula 10
the exclusion of foreign influence, shall conso
date the fabric of the independence of Italy.
shsl neglect nothing for the attainment OF this great
result Let your Majesty be convinced OF IT, my sen.
tpnents will not vary, and so far MS the interests OF
France are not opposed TO it, shall always be happy
10 serve the cause for which we have combated to-
gether. ,.,o
