Therefore, when new deputies of the Cisalpine Republic passed over the mountains, and gathered at Paris for consultation, they conferred on his Majesty the title of King of Italy, which he accepted, and a few days after his acceptance he set out for Milan, where he was to be crowned.
The peasant's gravity, directness, and carelessness a kind of uncouthness which is neither graceless nor, in any intolerable English sense, vulgar are to be found in the unceremonious moments of every cisalpine woman, however elect her birth and select her conditions.
This was the work of the Consul Aemilius Lepidus in 187 B.C. and the road still bears his name. It is obvious then that the command of the way from Italy into Cisalpine Gaul, or vice versa, lay in the hands of Rimini, and it is significant that the political boundary between them was here marked by a little river, the Rubicon, a few miles to the north of that city.
He took from his drawer a large and broad sheet of printed paper, with blanks filled up in his own handwriting, and said to me, "Here is a bill for 300,000 Italian livres on the Cisalpine Republic, for the price of cannon furnished. It is endorsed Halter and Collot I give it you." To make this understood, I ought to state that cannon had been sold to the Cisalpine.
The principal cities in Cisalpine Gaul were Roman colonies with municipal rights; many of them have preserved their names unchanged to the present day.
Caius Cassius, a tall, lean man, who had lately been made prætor, was the chief conspirator, and with him was Marcus Junius Brutus, a descendant of him who overthrew the Tarquins, and husband to Porcia, Cato's daughter, also another Brutus named Decimus, hitherto a friend of Cæsar, and newly appointed to the government of Cisalpine Gaul.
The leading principles in the two municipal ordinances issued in 705 for Cisalpine Gaul and in 709 for Italy, the latter of which remained the fundamental law for all succeeding times, are apparently, first, the strict purifying of the urban corporations from all immoral elements, while yet no trace of political police occurs; secondly, the utmost restriction of centralization and the utmost freedom of movement in the communities, to which there was even now reserved the election of magistrates and an although limited civil and criminal jurisdiction.
During this interval Rome had to sustain a storm from the north. The Cisalpine Gauls, in 226, formed an alliance with one of the fiercest tribes of their brethren north of the Alps, and began a furious war against the Romans, which lasted six years. The Romans gave them several severe defeats, and took from them part of their territories near the Po.
I should think that, at first, they will seek for you in the north, thinking that you would be likely, after taking to the hills which you would be sure to do, for such a party could never hope to traverse the plains unnoticed to keep along the chain to the north, cross the Cisalpine plains, and try the passage of the great mountains."
The Vatican was the first Court which recognised the erection of Tuscany into the Kingdom of Etruria, and the formation of the Helvetic, Cisalpine, and Batavian Republics. Prussia soon followed the example of the Pope, which was successively imitated by the other powers of Europe. The whole of these new states, realms, or republics were under the immediate influence of France.
