FLORENCE, Arum 7.
Fifty young volunteers from Forli arrived yester-
day in klorence on their way to Leghorn and Genoa.
A few of the 800 Swiss who make up the garrison of
that town, and who, u I wrote in a previous letter,
had offered themselves ready to desert es maw,
make now their appearanoe from day to day in small
bands in various parts of Tuscany, bound for the
same journey, and en the eine errand. People
from Forli and from other towns of Romagna, yen

must keep in mind, have to cross the Aitioniiies,
which are still covered with snow, and over moun-
tain psalms where no road exists. They have, be-
sides, to cross all Tuscany, and to pay their passage
from Leghorn to Genoa, before they can enter the
Piedmentese army. The Papal authorities, besides,
grant no passport, or only on condition that those
who apply for it should consider themselves as exiles
for life. You must see, therefore, that emigration
from the Roman territories takes place under great
difficulties. In Tuscany, as yet, the govern-
ment raises no obstacles to the departure of
volunteers, and they go by scores and by hundreds
incessantly. Yesterday morning I saw with my
own eyes five young men who had come from Averro
on thew way to Piedmont; the diligence from that
same town, at 9 o'clock p.m., brought fifteen more I
and the twenty united proceeded the same evening
by the last train to Leghorn. I have explained to
you the reasons why the government rather encou-
rage the movement of these emigrants, and why the
patriots rather temper and slacken it. It is well
understood, however, that those who do not start
should keep themselves ready for the journey ; and
at Leghorn, for instance, there is an organised bat-
talion of 460 young men, who 'muster and even
drill under acknowledged officers and a well-
known and well-tried chief, and who may
be embarked any night their leaders may appoint.
I have seen myself scores of youths of good family
and students, calling on Bnoncompagni, the Sar-
dinian minister, freely and openly asking for pass-
ports, and suing for admission to the Piedmontese
military school of Ivrea. I received yesterday :a
letter from Rome, which assured me the same en-
thusiasm for the war is equally on the increase
there, and impels the most generous youths to leave
their home and their prospects of an honourable
career for the chance of enlisting in the national
army of Piedmont. The Papal government there,
as I said, strongly oppose the movement, but a good
number of the most resolute and impatient find the
way of smuggling themselves out of Civita Vecchia
and other ports, and are aided in their flight by
every contrivance their countrymen can resort to.
A large party of students presented themselves on
the 3rd of this mouth to General Goyon, the French
commanding officer in Rome, asking him to inter-
cede with the Papal government, so as to obtain foe
them passports eaabling them to depart without
closing for ever the doors against their return. They
were kindly received by the general and by the
uabiammior, who promised to exert themselves it

their' favor. In the meantime the same enthueiasm
hat reached NOM of the highest in the land; not a
few of the youngest and wealthiest Roman princes,
lam soured, burn with desire to take up arms and
join the Piedmonts,. on their imminent campaign
of Lombardy. Ample funds have been collected in
11Rome for the purpose of favouring the emigration
lof volunteers, and also to supply Piedmont with
the materiel for war. A mercatite di cans-
popes (Anglia, large farmer) has made •
present to Sardinia of ten fine colts for the
cavalry, and other horses are equally provided by
salseceiption for the same purpose. The Sardiatan
loan of 60,000,000 frame has been very eagerly filled
up in Italy to the fall extent of the portion allotted
to each province. I have seen the list of subscribers
in Tuscany : it musters the names of noblemen and
even noble ladies, who have taken shares to the
amount of 10,000 to 20,000 trans, each, though they
are the last persona in the world to engage in specu-
lations of • similar nature. The merchants of Leg-
horn have bought shares for upwards of a million of
Rana, and the complaint was that more shares wen
not to be bad, the whole having been bought ap. I
have letters from Turin of the 2nd, which assure me
the number of volunteers there already exceeds
20,000 men. " They are all," says my correspondent,
" animated b 7 the best spirit, ready to submit to
discipline, fatigue, and privation ; shrinking from no
hardship of the most inceesant toil. You would now
scarcely recognise the Italy of 1848. Unanimity
and self-eacritee are Use order of the day." In Tus-
cany, I should say, the watchword is " Order and
obedience to they leaden." The Tonna used no
outbreak to achieve their revolution.
