GENERAL LA MARMoRA's REVELATIONS.
A great sensation has been caused in
Italy by the book which General La Mar.
mora published ten days or Q fortnight ago,
and the FIRST edition was exhausted within

Rod objected to the principle Of nationali-
ties, and to italian unity, and how Count
Cavour, as long ago as the year 1859, point
ed out to the Cabinet Of Berlin that Italy
was the best friend for Prussia to have,
and on her part looked on Prussia as her

of the entente cordiale, but the first distinct
overture of an offensive and defensive a1li-

Italy were also kept alive. At the same
time the Berlin Government sketched out
the plan of operations for the future war,
and after having objected to the principle
of natienalities in 1859, intimated in 1865 to
the Italians that it was prepared to attack
Austria on the ground of German nation
ality. The plan was to suggest reform OF
the Federal Constitution, substituting for
the Diet something of popular Parliament
i'm fact the present scheme of Imperial
organization was already Swallowed forth.
To use an expression of the Prussian Min
lister, the proposed reform was to be " sea-

just as the actual German Empire is in
reality just sufficiently seasoned with
parliamentarianism to give an appearance
of Constitutional Government to bureau
cratic and arbitrary regime. The reply Of
Italy was favorable, but it is with the ef-
feet of these revelations that We are now
concerned. At the present moment, when
King Victor Emmanuel is about to visit
Berlin, they are most inopportuue for the
Italian Government.
