ITALY.

A letter from Milan, of the 12th instant, informs us
that the disturbance which took place in that city on
the eve of the King of Sardinia's arrival there arose
from the following cause :—The municipal council gave
orders that the city should be splendidly decorated on
the occasion of the King's visit. The architects made
use of the inaterials which formerly served to decorate
the town when the Austrian Emperors came to visit
their faithful city of Milan. The people, who frequently
possess more good sense than architects or municipal
asuncillors, would it suffer such a painful association
of ideas; they tore the Imperial decorations to pieces,
to prevent their beirg used to celebrate the arrival of
the King. When the Government of Turin heard of
this disturbance, the Minister demanded by telegraph
of the Governor of Milan whether the King might with-
out difficulty visit the city on the following day. The
Governor replied that the cause of the disturbance,
which was not serious, proved that the King would be
received with enthusiasm. This proved to be true, and
it moreover demonstrates the state of public opinion in
Milan. The entrance of the King into the capital of
Loinhardy was magnificent. The people came in crowds
to see him pass, and greeted him with enthusiastic
cheers. The King arrived by railway at the eastern
gate, where he, ttttt uneed hi boo:. t, and undae • •innene
flowers lie proceeded to the Cathedral, where a Tr
was celebrated. His Majesty thence proceeded
to the Palace, where he received the congratulations of
the authorities.
From Naples we learn that the remaining Swiss
soldiers having refused to comply with the new regula-
tions, thus continuing to give examples of insubon
dination, the Government has ordered the Foreign
Legion to be diahanded.
The report of the resignation of Cardinal Antonelli is
' positively. That statesinan, we are told, never
prenessed more of the confidence of the Pope than he
does at present. The same authority on which this is
asserted adds, that if the Central Italian Princes be re-
stond the Pone will not refuse to accept the I 1111 l orary
Presidency of the Italian Confederation, leaving to the
King of Naples the real leadership, as to him, his ,
Holiness is of m it of right belongs, since his
dominions are the largest in Italy.
We were startled lest week by a rumour of a red-
republican revolt at Panne, of the driving away of the ,
Piedniontese troops front the city, and the flight of the
propertied class. This rumour has been fonnally 0,11-
tradieted by the Mayor of l'arma, now in l'aris. "The
people," says he, " are too well aware of the importance
a regular and legitimate ninnifestation of thew wishes
to quit the path of legality for one moine-t. ll7nani-
niously resolved as they are to mist by every means—
even by force, if nucessary—aily and every idea or
attempt to restore the old dynasty, they are organizing
actively, &nil their vides will prove to Funipe that
their idle and only desire, conformably to their moral
and material interests, is to be definitely united to
Pie4liuout under the constitutional sceptre of the House
of Savoy."—Since this letter was published the people
have so voted. A very distinct proof of the nascent
constitutional life of Parma is to be %COI in the fact that
already the (lover:anent has proclaimed • voluntary

TUSCANY.
FLORENCE, Aug. 15.
The statutes of their Majesties the Emperor Napoleon
and King Victor F amid l have been placed in the
so& of the Deliberative .Issembly.
AUGUST fro.
The Deputies Prince Strotzi, :Marquis Manzi, Counbi
della iilierardesca, Franchesi, Piccolomini,
;old 31. Aduini have proposed the following resolution,
which met with unanimous support, namely :
That the .‘ssetubly declares it to be the finn will of
Tuscany to form a strong part of the kingdom of
Italy under the constitutional sceptre of King Victor ;
Emmanuel.
The Assembly declared to-day, by a unanimous
vote, that the dynasty of Lorraine could be neither
recalled nor accepted to reign in Tuscany. The follow.
ing is the text of Deputy Dinuri's motion just adopted
by the Assembly :—The Assembly declares that the
dynasty of Lorraine, which on the 27th of April, 11459,
, voluntarily abandoned Tuscany without leaving there
; any fonn of government, to join the enemy's camp, has
rendered itself absolutely incompatible with the order
and welfare of Tuscany ; declares that it does not
. know ally manner in which that dynasty can be re-
established and maintained without hurting the senti-
ments of the population, without a constant and inevit-
able danger of seeing the public peace incessantly ais-
i turbed. to the detriment of Italy; for which reasons
it formally proelainia that the dynasty of Lorraine
I cannot be recalled or received to reign over Tuscany.
