An understanding for a ST.
multaneouS disarning of the
great Powers
When Lord CowLEY was dispatched to Vienna |
upon the special mission, from which he returned
few weeks ago, he was instructed to press upon
the Austrian Government the acceptance of the
following points The simultaneous withdrawal
OF the French and Austrian troops from the city of
Rome and from the Papal legation the abrogation
by Austria of her secret treaties with the Italian
Duchies, and, finally the consent of Austria to CO.
operate with France in advising Rome, Naples, Tus-
cany, and the minor Italian principalities to intro
duce such administrative reforms as would tend to
relieve their subjects from their oppressed cond-
ton. 1t will be perceived that the English pro-
positions though scarcely so thorough and search
ing as the demands put forth by Sardinia, are vet
in many respects similar, and it is very gener-
ally understood that Austria rejected with dsdan
the suggestions offered by Lord CONVEY, it is
certainly not to be expected that she will accept
the more stringent and humiliatng terms of Sardi-
MIA nor Is she willing 10 submit that the Congress
shall enter upon The discussion Of the Italian ques-
lion until Sardinia shall have completed her dis
armament and shall have proceeded 10 disband her
free corps, and even when this point shall he sell
tied 10 be satisfaction she exscts the right 10 die
taie tne mode il which the discussion shall be
ried Oh and the limits within which lis action
sinai De restricted
Ii is evident 10 us that the very perilous position
IL winch Austria finds herself placed renders her
more naughty and defiant than she otherwise would
be In desperate straits, nations, as well as men
find Ia, h,.t. a,41a a.,
desperate means Of relief The Italian quarrel has
now reached point which does not admit of eva
sion, and 50 closely is it pressed that neither Aus
triat France Or Sardinia, cau--to use a homclv
phrase down without dshonor. So far
as Austria is concerned, she can accept of no com
promise that does not involve d loss Of prestige
LOUIS NAPOLEON dare not in this hour Of trial VIC
late his pledges 10 gallant little Sardinia whilst
NIcToE EI,NAGUEL himself would rather witness the
extinction q his kingdom than forego his hopes
Of eZpetliug the Austrians from Italy The con
SESSIONS demanded Of Austria 10y Count ca YoCR are
absolutely essential 10 tue future safety and mate
rial prosperity Of Sardinia She il, says the
London Ec1um5sa Surrounded on all sides by
Austrian armies or States which are dependents
land creatures Of Austria. Everywhere through
''out the Peninsula the Governments hostile TO
'Piedmontese influence, and would use any occa-
'slon fer quarrel against her, if they could sur
''prise her unprepared This forces Sardinia into
''sleepless vigilance and military ornaments on a
" 'ruinous footing, if she would preserve her po-
''sltlon Of influence and independence in Italy
1.-THE proposed arrangement would just reverse all
this. A national and free government in Lom-
"bardy and Venice could not easily be forced, even
''under the suzeranty of Austria, into hostile at
''titude towards Piedmont The concession of free
institutions to Modena Parma, Tuscany, and the
"trans-Appennine Papal States would surround
Piedmont with a Gordon of liberal Governments
looking to her as the chief" But it is very natr-
rally regarded as utterly impossible that such re-
suit as this should be achieved 'by any amount of
diplomatic urgency in protocols and conferences -
and the onlyconclusion therefore that can be reach
ed is--that the question must under any circum-
circumstances, be finally determined by an appeal
to arms
