t. iv. p. .? Co?. TREATY OF LEOBEN. ?in the definitive treaty of Campo Formio. These two treaties of pacification differed, the one from the other,UGG Ultra Tall Boots in relation to the degree and manner how a meditated partition of the territory of Venice, of the Cisalpine republic, and other smaller powers was to be accomplished, for the mutual benefit of France and Austria. It is melancholy to observe, but it is nevertheless an important truth, that there is no moment during which independent states of the second class have more occasion to be alarmed for their security,UGG Ultra Short Boots than when more powerful nations in their vicinity are about to conclude peace. It is so easy to accommodate these differences of the strong at the expense of such weaker states, as, if they are injured, have neither the power of making their complaints heard, nor of defending themselves by force, that, in the iron agein which it has been our fate to live, the injustice of such an arrangement has never been considered as offering any counterpoise to its great convenience, whatever the law of nations might teach to the contrary.?It is unnecessary to enter upon the subject of the preliminaries of Leoben, until we notice the treaty of Campo Formio, under which they were finally modified, and by which they were adjusted and controlled.

To such criticism he replied, in a despatch to the Directory from Leoben, during the progress of the treaty: " If, at the commencement of these Italian campaigns, I had made a point of going to Turin, I should never have passed the Pohad I insisted prematurely on advancing to Rome, I could never have secured Milanand now, had I made an indispensable object of reaching Vienna, I might have destroyed the Republic."?Such was his able and judicious defence of a conduct, which,UGG Handtasche by stopping short of some ultimate and extreme point apparently within his grasp, extracted every advantage from fear, which despair perhaps might not have yielded him,/intexmerry111010
