A short but striking pamphlet has been published by Count PEccltio, on tlle present state of his wretched coun- try under the Austrian domination. Italy, long a reproach to her own people, is now a disgrace to Europe, to the policy wvhich betrayed, and to the heartless tyranny wlhich enthrals her. Tle Emperor of AUSTRIA, who loves loyalty rather than learning, may. in his ignorance of history, not know in what colouIs the despot wearing a crown-or the crowned instrument of despotic MIinisters-has in all ages been painted to mankind, fiom the momeit 'at which his hand became too weak to wield the sceptre, or to sign a warrant of execution. The details of Count PECCHIO are too melaDcholy for us to repeat them. Some proceedings of the Austrian Court at Milan were arraigned in Parliament on the first day of the session, and ingeniously glossed over by Mr. CANNING; but the trials of Count GONFALO- MERE and his friends, notwithstanding such technical de- fences as we have heard of the Austrian method of admi- nistering justice, have made a profound impression upon the public mind of Italy. WVe insert a letter upon that subjecq which confirms some preceding accounts, anal showvs the scarcely conceiiable impolicy with which the German rulers of that fine country have been acting; unless, indeed, we are to drawv the consolatory inference, from the pains thus taken to exasperate her victims, that Austria does not hope to retain the power of tormenting them. Leta French forcebeassembled towards the Alps-and what follows? Yhy, a grievous illustration of the wisdom of those Eng- lish statesmen, whn of their own accord placed Italy in such a condition, that the most practicable and popular cure for her sufferings was to be sought for in the power of France!
