which appeared, in the eyes Of all Europe, TO aim
At an ABSORPTION Of all the Italian States, and
threatened new connections (coniagrati0ns), he
eounseled that monarch to favOrably receive the
wishes of the provinces that offered themselves 10
him. but TO maintain the autonomy OF Tuscany, ana
10 respect the principle Of the rights OF the Holy See
If this arrangement does not satisfy everybody the
speaker continues il has the advantage OF reserV-

of Sardinia kingdom of more than nine million III
habitants To meet this changed state Of Northerh

French slopes of the Alps. This claim, which does
not contradict his frequent proclamations OF disln
terested policy he says, VII not be pressed ny tfick
or force but will be presented frankly for approval
to the Great Powers. Considering all he mas done
for religion that he alone has for eleven years sus
tanned the Holy Fathers power at Rome, IL needed
all his profound confidence IN the good sense Oh tne
nation to preserve his camness in face of the recent
agitation and attempts creating disturbance in
portion OF the religious world He could not in JUS
tce 10 them, redeIger the ROmagnOles 10 the risks
of an unlimited foreign military occupation; he
tried to reconcile them and their sovereign; failing
in this Effort he has endeavOred at least to save
(sduregarder) in the insurgent provinces the prn-
ciple of the Popes temporal power. You see, he
says that if every thing is not yet terminated how
it is permitted TO hope at least for an early solu-
ton
Able clever, cear-the speech, not the "sou-
ton" 1t is not a solution iG is mixture. The
rest of the speech is taken up with the different
parts of the great, new system of pOtco-economica

pacific disposition of France.

support this combination IN Conference or Congress,
but would also proclaim that foreign Intervention

assume the responsibility Of any other policy.
The annexation of Savoy and Nice to Franse becomes
necessity, and wCuld also protect Switzerland.
