Congress or See also:Conference of Laibach.—Before the break-up of the conference of See also:Troppau (q.v.), it had been decided to adjourn it till the following See also:January, and to invite the attendance of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king of See also:Naples, Laibach being chosen as the See also:place of See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting
.
Castlereagh, in the name of See also:Great See also:Britain, had cordially approved this invitation, as " implying negotiation " and there-fore as a See also:retreat from the position taken up in the Troppau See also:Protocol
.
Before leaving Troppau, however, the three autocratic See also:powers, See also:Russia, See also:Austria and See also:Prussia, had issued, on the 8th of See also:December 182o, a circular See also:letter, in which they reiterated the principles of the Protocol, i.e. the right and See also:duty of the powers responsible for the See also:peace of See also:Europe to intervene to suppress any revolutionary movement by which they might conceive that peace to be endangered (Hertslet, No
.
Io5)
.
Against this view Castlereagh once more protested in a circular despatch of the Igth of January 1821, in which he clearly differentiated between the objectionable general principles advanced by the three powers, and the particular See also:case of the unrest in See also:Italy, the immediate concern not of Europe at large, but of Austria and of any other Italian powers which might consider themselves endangered (Hertslet, No
.
107)
.
The conference opened on the 26th of January 1821, and its constitution emphasized the divergences revealed in the above circulars
.
The emperors of Russia and Austria were See also:present in See also:person, and with them were See also:Counts See also:Nesselrode and See also:Capo d'See also:Istria, Metternich and See also:Baron See also:Vincent; Prussia and See also:France were represented by plenipotentiaries
.
But Great Britain, on the ground that she had no immediate See also:interest in the Italian question, was represented only by See also:Lord See also:- STEWART, ALEXANDER TURNEY (1803-1876)
- STEWART, BALFOUR (1828-1887)
- STEWART, CHARLES (1778–1869)
- STEWART, DUGALD (1753-1828)
- STEWART, J
- STEWART, JOHN (1749—1822)
- STEWART, JULIUS L
- STEWART, SIR DONALD MARTIN (1824–19o0)
- STEWART, SIR HERBERT (1843—1885)
- STEWART, SIR WILLIAM (c. 1540—c. 1605)
- STEWART, STUART
- STEWART, WILLIAM (c. 1480-c. 1550)
Stewart, the See also:ambassador at Vienna, who was not armed with full powers, his See also:mission being to See also:watch the proceedings and to see that nothing was done beyond or in violation of the See also:treaties
.
Of the Italian princes, See also:Ferdinand of Naples and the See also:duke of See also:Modena came in person; the See also:rest were represented by plenipotentiaries
.
It was soon clear that a more or less open See also:breach between Great Britain and the other powers was inevitable
.
Metternich was anxious to secure an apparent unanimity of the powers to back the Austrian intervention in Naples, and every See also:device was used to entrap the See also:English representative into subscribing a See also:formula which would have seemed to commit Great Britain to the principles of the other See also:allies
.
When these devices failed, attempts were made unsuccessfully to exclude Lord Stewart from the conferences on the ground of defective powers
.
Finally he was forced to an open protest, which he caused to be inscribed on the See also:journals, but the See also:action of Capo d'Istria in See also:reading to the assembled Italian ministers, who were by no means reconciled to the large claims implied in the Austrian intervention, a See also:declaration in which as the result of the " intimate See also:union established by See also:solemn acts between all the See also:European powers " the See also:Russian emperor offered to the allies " the aid of his arms, should new revolutions threaten new dangers," an See also:attempt to revive that See also:idea of a " universal union " based on the See also:Holy See also:Alliance (q.v.) against which Great Britain had consistently protested
.
The objections of Great Britain were, however, not so much to an Austrian intervention in Naples as to the far-reaching principles by which it was sought to justify it
.
King Ferdinand had been invited to Laibach, according to the circular of the
8th of December, in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order that he might be See also:free to See also:act as " mediator between his erring peoples and the states whose tranquillity they threatened." The cynical use he made of his " freedom " to repudiate obligations solemnly contracted is described elsewhere (see NAPLES, See also:History)
.
The result of this action was the Neapolitan declaration of See also:war and the occupation of Naples by Austria, with the See also:sanction of the congress
.
This was preceded, on the loth of March, by the revolt of the See also:garrison of See also:Alessandria and the military revolution in See also:Piedmont, which in its turn was suppressed, as a result of negotiations at Laibach, by Austrian troops
.
It was at Laibach, too, that, on the 19th of March, the emperor See also:Alexander received the See also:news of See also:Ypsilanti's invasion of the Danubian principalities, which heralded the outbreak of the War of See also:Greek See also:Independence, and from Laibach Capo d'Istria addressed to the Greek See also:leader the See also:tsar's repudiation of his action
.
The conference closed on the 12th of May, on which date Russia, Austria and Prussia issued a declaration (Hertslet, No
.
1o8) " to proclaim to the See also:world the principles which guided them " in coming `.` to the assistance of subdued peoples," a declaration which once more affirmed the principles of the Troppau Protocol
.
In this See also:lay the European significance of the Laibach conference, of which the activities had been mainly confined to Italy
.
The issue of the declaration without the signatures of the representatives of Great Britain and France proclaimed the disunion of the alliance; within which—to use Lord Stewart's words—there existed " a triple understanding which See also:bound the parties to carry forward their own views in spite of any difference of See also:opinion between them and the two great constitutional governments."
No See also:separate history of the congress exists, but innumerable references are to be found in general histories and in See also:memoirs, See also:correspondence, &c., of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
