The tribulation of Austria revives the spirit of revolt in
Lom- bardy; and while Mazzini, at the head of a guerilla force, is issu- ing proclamations in the mountain districts of the Brianza, the tumultuary movement spreads to other quarters. This time it
appears to be the Republicans that are taking the lead. The pub- lished declarations of the chief augoest no belief that any new discretion has fortified the councils of the party, and success does not often attend where it is not deserved. But the readiness of the movement, the very instant that the pressure of Austrian strength is weakened, confirms the anticipation that a real hold of Lombardy is not to be recovered by that power.
