that they are unexpectedly outflanked. Various schemes have been put forward in Italy in order to secure some compensation for the injury thus inflicted upon the country, I find that in the important coast towns the favourite idea of the Italian residents is that Tripoli should be seized, in order to counter- balance the French acquisition of Tunis. But at Tripoli itself that idea finds no favour, even among the Italians ; and the reason for this it is not difficult to discover. Neither from a ...financial, a military, nor a political point of view is Italy strong enough to secure Tripoli. Those who are on the spot are well aware of this, and they are most anxious to counteract the Chauvinist ideas of their feUow- countrymen at a distance. Let me add, that France herself would be worsted in any attack upon Tripoli. She may have the money and the men, but she lacks the power necessary to enable her to defy, not merely the Tripoli- tan Arabs, but the forces of united Europe* For the Italians to thrust themselves into the wasp's nest from which the insurrectionaiy movement in Tunis originated, would be an act of supreme folly.
