 resolved on the union of me Li^^urian Re-

 resoliition will be immediately rariied itito 

 expiufioii, a deputation h.iving been sent t;> 

 his majesty theemperor; in consequence tl:e 

 government lia"; at the same time thought 

 proper to signify the motives that lia\e in- 

 di'Ofd it to annul both itsold and new consti- 

 tuiion, and renounce the rank it h.^s hither- 

 to maintained among independent states, 10 

 nnite itself to another great power. I have 

 also been given to understand, that my mis- 

 sion to the Ligurian government is at an 

 end 



"[will not examine the motives whichhave 

 led the ?enate to take this step; in this case 

 the senate la the best judge; and the object 

 i^ of sufficient importance, since it relates to 

 tie existence and well-beinj,' of a state. Hut 

 with icsppct to the termination of mv mis- 

 sion, ths entirelv and alone depends on the 

 orrieri ot my emperor, and until I receive 

 these orders, it is imposstble that I should 

 consider my mission as terminated. 



" I shtill therefore, as soon as possible, 

 transmit to mvcouit, t.'ie note delivered to 

 me, together with the decree of the senate, 

 that 5 mav ricejie directions frrmy conduct. 

 I cannot doubt that the Ligurian government 

 will, ill the mean time. acl<nowledae the in- 

 violabiliiv of my person, and defend the 

 rights ot the legation against any attack. I 

 hope to find here that prote.ction which is due 

 to the Austrian ;ind German nation ; and I 

 e.xpect that the Aiiscriar. consulate for com- 

 merci.il affdiis will remain on the footing on 

 which it at present exists, agieeable to the 

 law ot naions. (Signed) "GiNsri."
