British Minister to Turin, expresses the fear
that the attack against the Roman States and
Kingdom Of Naples may lead to an attack
upon the possessions of Austria in Venetia
If the King of Piedmont was not at liberty to
extend the preliminaries of Villa Franca and
the treaty of Zurich, now that he has pledged
his royal word, he is not at liberty to attack
