HL Deb 26 June 1862 vol 167 c1074
LORD BROUGHAM

remarked that in some observations which he addressed to their Lordships a few nights since he had been misled by the accounts which he had received from Italy. Speaking of an individual, he had represented him as not only given to conspiracy and agitation in Italy, but as sparing his own person and keeping out of danger. He (Lord Brougham) had been assured that this individual had never shown any indisposition to take part in the enterprises which he originated or recommended; but that, on the contrary, he had frequently joined in these military operations. He (Lord Brougham) regretted that this individual had incited operations which could not but be inimical to the cause of Italian independence, because they could not fail to provoke the hostility of Austria, at the same time that they did not secure the support of France.
