VICTOR EMMANUEL'S PROGRESS
THROUGH HIS NEW DOMINIONS.
(nom OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
On Board the }loyal Ship Maria Adelaide,
Sunday Evening, April 15.

His Majesty's departure from Turin took place
this evening hat half-past six o'clock, amidst the
enthusiastic cheering of his people.
The weather which had been rather rainy when
we left Turin, began to change when the royal train
had reached the last summit of the promontories
of Giovi. A blue and starry sky was over us, and
below was Genoa, in a blaze of illumination. In
spite of the lateness of the hour the Darsena and
the adjoining narrow streets were literally one
mass of people. The whole population of that
Queen of the Ligurian sea had apparently come
out to greet the restorer of Italian nationality. As
soon as we went on board of the royal frigate,
which is under the command of Rear-Admiral
Pertain°, the King had supper, to which the
officers and gentlemen of the suite were all
invited. Victor Emmanuel is a man of simple
habits, and ho is never so happy as when
he can free himself from the tiresome rules of royal
, etiquette, which are scrupulously enforced by
[Marquis di Breme, the master of the ceremonies of
the ;Sardinian court. After supper the King and
; Count Cavour went to smoke their cigars on the
deck. They seemed to be in high spirits, and
heard them laughing heartily as Count Vimercati,
who bad on the previous day come back from Paris
from a mission to the Emperor, was relating some
amusing story which was then current in the French
capital. At two o'clock the King retired to rest,
and everybody endeavoured to follow the royal
example. But the Maria Adelaide having been under
repair for the last few weeks, none but the great
personages of the royal cortege could be comfortably
accommodated by her commander. The conse-
quence was that the orderly officers and ministers,
secretaries, and the small fry generally, were ob-
liged to pass a more or less sleepless night on the
floor of the ward room, where a supper was provided.
The sea was as smooth and calm as a mill pond, and
we did not do badly after all. The secretaries and
orderlies told stories, whilst the more solemn in-
tendenti wrapped themselves up in their cloaks and
tried to sleep. At last came a glorious dawn over
the Mediterranean. His Majesty, who always
leaves his bed at daybreak, was already on
deck. The squadron which accompanied our
frigate consisted of the Charles Albert, 51 guns ;
the Victor Emmanuel, 51 guns ; anal the .kmphion,
a small anis°. An American man-of-war had
joined us, and the vessels were all steaming fast
towards Leghorn, whose towers were already visi-
ble on the distant horizon. On the deck of the
above-mentioned frigates could be se.m about
a hundred deputies, who bad followed the I,
King in this triumphal excursion. As the
bell rang for breakfast, everybody rushed to
the ward-room without waiting for his Majesty,who
never takes food early in the day. Hearing, how-
ever,
the merry laughter of the party, he came
down, and seeing that some of us had been forgotten
in the breakfasting confusion he ordered another
table to be laid, an order which was noon attended
to, to the great satisfaction of the forgotten ones.
At half-past eight we were in right of Leghorn.
Prince Carignan and Baron Ricasoli, accompanied
by a brilliant Staff, came on board to greet
the King. It was then that the roar

of artillery made the population of Leglioru
aware of his Majesty's arrival. The English frigate
Racoon was in the harbour, and hasteuctl to give a
royal salute to the Italian Monarch. Captain
Paynter, senior officer in command, and Captain
Blackburn, came on board, and were presented to
the King. Here I must stop, for in a few minutes
we are to leave the Maria delaide for the train
which is in attendance.

FLORENCE, AP= 16.
After the presentation of the Mayor of Leghorn,
Victor Emmanuel and his suite left the ship. At
the landing pier of the harbour a magnificent
canopy of red velvet surmounted by a gold crown
had been erected. Thousands of tricolored flags
had been hoisted all round the pier. It was on
that spot that the King first set foot on the earth
of his new dominions. It is iossible to describe
theenthusisam with which his Majesty was received
at Leghorn. The town councillors were at the pier,
dreaded in their picturesque gowns of red damask
trimmed with gold lace, as the gonfalonieri were in
the times of Lorenzo il Magnifico. Front the
richest quarters of Via Large to the poorest of Via
Pallestro, from the harbour entrance to the sta-
tion, the streets of Leghorn had been turned into so
many elegant saloons, gorgeously adorned with
draperies, flowers, art banners. Banda of music
preceded the royal carriages as they made their
slow way through a rain of flowers. Nor was the
reception offered by the Florentines less enthusiastic.
At the station Marquis Bartolomei, the mayor of
Florence, presented au address to the King, and
when the ceremony was over Victor Emmanuel.
mounted on a splendid charger, took the way of the
Duomo, followed by Baron Ricesoli and his staff.
The streets through which the royal cavalcade
passed resembled the magnificent corridors of a
fairy palace ; such an effect was produced by the
hangings and decorations of all descriptions combined
with the perfume of flowers which impregnated the
air. The Duomo was splendidly illuminated, yet
with a simplicity that added to the imposing
severity of its architecture. As soon as his Ma-
jesty entered the church, the archbishop—who has
been brought to take more sober views of his reli-
gious obligations—began the Te Thum, which was
responded to by the roar of artillery, and by the
acclamations of thousands. I never before wit-
nessed such an imposing demonstration, and it is
not probable that I shall ever see such another.
Ou leaving the Duomo the King, accompanied
by Prince Carignan and his suite, mounted his
horse, and proceeded to the palace, The line of
procession followed the Via Calzaioli, Piazza della,
Signor* Via Vaccaneccia, Mercato Nuovo, Porta
Rosaa, Piazza Santa Trinita Ponta Santa +rinita,
Via Maggio, as far as the street which leads into the
Piazza Pitti, immediately opposite the great
entrance to the palace. Th s stred was entirely
arched over with flowers and draperies, and beauti-
fully decorated. In the piazza in front of the
palace a large body of the national guard was drawn
up, and the remainder of the vast square was a
perfect mass of heads. The terraces on each aide, and
the windows and roofs of the houses were thronged.
Every point from which a view of the King could
be obtained was occupied. The houses, as in every
other part, were decorated with banners and hang-
ings. On reaching the state apartments his Ma-
jollity held a reception of all the different public bodies
and the military. This lasted till about half-past
three, whenjthe King appeared in the balcony over the
great gate of the palace. The viva); were deafening,
and for about ten minutes he stood there receiving
the heartfelt acclamations of his new subjects.
Amongst those who surrounded the King I parti-
cularly noticed Captain Paynter, the captain of the
Racoon, the senior officer at this part of the Medi-
terranean station, of whom I previously spoke.
There was a large party at dinner, to which Cap-
tain Payuter had the honour to be invited. At
8 p.m. the King passed to a hvyia which had been
prepared in the gallery which imam from the palace
to the Uffizi immediately over the centre of the
Polite Vecchio. From hence the cooly-rrei U was mag-
nificent, ahnost realising the description of Alad-
din's gardens in the " Arabian Nights." The houses
on each side of the river along the whole extent as
far an the Gemini were blazing with light.
The moat brilliant private house was that belong-
ing to a Jewish gentleman in the Piazza St. Maria
Novella ; it was covered with inscriptions and
devices. On some of the houses were transparencies ;
one drew particular attention. It wan in the Via
Calzaioli, and excited much merriment—the pot,•
trait of the Emperor Napoleon, with the inscription,
" Italia libura dall' Alpo all' Adriatic.,." The
plied Nirvana was duly appreciate.) by the spectas
tors. The authorities had with great good sense
prohibited all vehicles from circulating until after
11 o'clock, so the poop de could walk about without
danger. I say walk about, but that must be taken
rum gran., for so denial was the crowd that it
was quite impossible to advance by the principal
thoroughfares except with the stream. Had not
this wise order been given, it is moot probable some
accident would have happened, for Florence is not
a city of trottoirs, such not being met with except
in two or three of the principal streets. Late into
the night, or rather far on toward morning, the
crowd continued to pour along ; at times bands of
music passed slowly through the streets. the notes
being at times quite drowned in the en ies, " Viva
Vittorio Emanuele '." " Viva Italia lihera !" The
neighbourhood of the city, too, was beautiful. From
the heights of Fiesole lines of light marked the villas
and hamlets on the hill to the north, whilst on the
south from S. Miniato to the hill of the Capucini
was a girdle of fire.
To-day is a day of rest both for King and people,
and certainly by the latter, who were ou foot from
an early hour yesterday morning, it must be much
needed.

The long description I have given you in my
letter must prove how deep and seincere is the feel-
ing with which the King is regarded. The people
feel that they have been freed from oppression and
tyriuniy. They look on Vittorio Emanuele not
only as the "Re Galantuomo," first soldier of
Italy who has risked his life iu their cause, but as
representing a principle—the union of the Italian
peninsula into one great kingdom. And this is not
the feeling solely of the great towns, lint I am in-
formed by those who have been in other parts of
Tuscany that it is, if pumible, even stronger in the
rural districts..

A letter from Florence says :—" The King of
Sardinia does not, strictly speaking, oo Florence for the
I first time, nor is this his first visit to the place. He was
I here, quite an inhuit, at the time that the Prince of
attemptCari"nan of°. laß2fuetiero

Grand Ducal cousins of Tuscany. Tho Carignan°
family were then lodged at the P,,,gie Imperiale.
The infant Prince Victor EllilliaUllei was in his
cradle, the curtains of which were set on fire by a candle
which came in contact with them. The child was rescued
from the flames, not, however, without Wren. horning on
his right hand and left shle,iti which latter spot the King bears
the marksof the tire tothe present day. Most unfortunately,
the Signora Teresa Zanotti, the num to the little prince,
who, to the risk of her own life took him from the cradle,
was so severely injured by the flames that she died after a
few days suffering. All this donie.tic vpi-de we learn
from the letters of the Prince of Carignan... the King's
father, who then simply signed himself .%Ilierto Ji Savona,'
but who took his full name of ' Charles Albert' on his
accession to the throne in DUI."
