Signor Mazzini has published a long manifesto on the state and pros- pects of Europe. He lays it down that Imperialism is the most urgent danger of Europe, and that it is a danger which has grown out of the culpable indifference with which England especially regarded the expe- dition against Rome. He declares "from certain knowledge of the fact" that- " The peace of Villafranca is the inauguration of a now holy alliance between the three Powers which now represent despotism in Europe—Im- perial Fiance, Russia, and Austria. The aim of the alliance—they are phrases uttered at Plombiares and at Stuttgard—is to imperializo Europe, making themselves master, in order to falsify it, of the national idea, and substituting the territorial question to the question of liberty. The means —and this will be the next step to the Lombard war—are the partition be- tween the three members of the alliance of the Mahometan possessions in Europe and Africa, and war with England. if Austria did not accept the proposals of Villafranca the plan was to have been executed in a modified manner between the Czar and the Emperor. Hungary, emancipated from Austria, would fall to Constantine ; the Mediterranean, converted into a French lake, to the Emperor. Russia was to be, directly or indirectly, mistress of the North and of the East of Europe, Imperial France of the West and of the South. At present the agreement of the three, changes the idea of partition, and limits, as I said, the next step to the dismemberment of Oriental Europe, and to the war against England. and Prussia."
