We are informed, on authority which has frequently been accurate,
that Greece will have in the final discussion one deter- mined supporter, who may make one day's meeting of Congress very serious. This is Count Corti, behind whom may be found Prince Bismarck. The Italian Cabinet is distinctly alarmed and angered by the strength which Austria is about to acquire on the Adriatic, and will insist on Greece being made stronger, as a counterpoise. As the Italian alliance is valuable to Germany, as Italy can pour 50,000 troops into Albania, as France does not want two quarrels with Rome—where French intrigue in Tunis was recently discussed in full Cabinet—and as the Ilapsburgs need Italian help in their new acquisition, Italy ruling opinion both in Trieste and Fiume, Count Corti's words may be found to carry heavy weight. No Power except Austria and England could exercise more direct influence on the littoral of the Adriatic than Italy could, if it were only by letting loose the Garibaldians.
