He seemed to feel the concen- trated bitterness of the nation. Only two days before, he had sent his greetings to his countrymen in America, and pledged his faith that the final triumph of the common cause was near at hand ;* and now the object which had been for centuries the aspiration of patriots and martyrs, the aim of his hopes and labors, he saw vanish at the very moment when it appeared almost within his grasp. The cry of anguish which arose from the Italians fell upon his heart like a r...eproach, and the blood of those who had fallen on the plains of Lombardy cried to him from the ground. The very darkness in which he was left as to the motives of the peace of Yillafranca, made him suspect that Italy, and he himself, had been betrayed. It is said that for a time he seemed to have lost his usual self-control ; that he declined an interview requested by the emperor ; that he urged the king to reject the terms of the peace, to recall his army, and to leave Napoleon to his designs. Whatever truth may be in these statements, it is certain that as soon as he heard of the sudden close of the war he resigned his office and retired to his country-seat at Leri.
