myself IL was impossible to spend few days in TINS
land without doing homage 70 these many truths, and
still more without freely recording them fellow

preston England has left in my mind for lesson
and incitement to them.
To the English people have nothing 10 recall which
they do not know They know what Italy desires. Italy
has made her mind to exist She has the right TO do
and il any should doubt it, would add she already
exists in fact, and that nothing will prevent her com

tho two adverse Powers that oppress her. andet the

and respected she is n great degree arbtress o the
fate OF Europe but e. her be fully persuaded that she
can never solve the Italian question: that OF the other
natonalties by any contrvance Of compensation and
diplomatic exchanges. But In face of the
great principle o the solidarity OF peoples proclaimed
and sanctioned by universal cannot speak O.
Italy alone, still less at time When the and promise
OF this truc holy alliance has been irrevocably con-
frmed when lately pressed the hands of proscr bed

my heart in recommending the Of oppres ed peoples
to the most generous ana sagaciols Of nations Since
their arising Is certain and their triumph !ated England
will know how to spread them the powerful shield

strong arm.
England knows that she will not he great

people that has been oftmes impelled by the arts OF

but which freedom will be the means OF turning into
peaceful competitors and friends. Freedom this is the
sun that shonld fructy the sincere and formidable ALI

work Of tho worlds peace would be installed
