The circular from Count Cavonr to Sardinian Ministers at foreign

Courts is useful as,a memorandum restating the basis on which Piedmont has acted from the first state of her present con- troversy with Austria, the basis on which she appealed to the Congress of 1856, and the basis which at that Congress the Western Powers recognised with approval. "Europe, by the voice of its most eminent statesmen," says the Count, " has tes- tified the interest she has taken in the fate of unhappy Italy ;" and he vindicates the spirit and purpose with which the Em- peror Napoleon has generously intervened in favour of an ally un- justly attacked. No labour is wasted in persevering thus to make Europe understand the precise principle on which Piedmont and Russia are acting.
