THE ALLIES IN LOMBARDY.

- MILAN, JUNE 6.
Yesterday evening, about 6 o'clock, the carnival of
1859 may be said to have commenced, thus recom-
peosino us a little for the miserable one in the
beginning of the present year. Every vehicle wu
put into requisition, filled with Zonavee, French
soldiers, and citizens, and, preceded by bands and the
National Guards with their banners, paraded the
Corso amid the loudest acclamations of the people.
The poor fellows seemed quite overcome with their
reception, and the shouts of " Viva la Francis"
were responded to as warmly as were those of " Vivi
Phalle." In the evening the principal streets were
brilliantly illuminated.

JUNE. 7.

At 10 o'clock this morning a corps of 18 000
French troops, infantry, cavalry, artillery, and fiat
gage, entered the city at the Porte Sempione. t
would be utterly impossible to give an idea of the
enthusiasm of the people; their shouts were deafen-
ing, and their conduct more like fanatics or madmen
than reasonable beings, but really no man who
knows this country and what it has suffered can be
surprised.
The troops passed across the Piazza d'Arme, which
was crowded with thousands of citizens, along the
Centred& Olmetto, Monte di Pieta, Monte Napoleon,
Corso Francesco, and then on to the different vacant
barracks in the city.
Along this line the streets were thronged with men,
women, and children, of all ages, and the windows
of every house tilled with elegantly dressed ladies,
who showered bouquets upon the officers and men.
Never, perhaps, was the Corso more truly magnificent
than to-day ; even the officers and troops seemed
taken aback at the imposing sight, especially when
they came in view of the Gnome, which looked more
thin usually beautiful (the weather being splendid)
seen through the forest of banners. Really this
wonderful and rapid change from Saturday last
seems more like a dream than a reality ; and I can
very well participate in the feeling of the people in
thinking that what is passing before my eyes is
merely a delusion.
I cannot help here saying, on my own account,
may God grant that this may be but the beginning
of a happy and prosperous future for the Italian
peoples, who have suffered so much, so long, and so
patiently, and that by a happy union among them-
selves they may for evermore defy their late German
tyrant.
I must not omit mentioning one incident, which
was really affecting. The poor fellows when they
entered the city were covered with dust and perspira-
tion, being in heavy marching order, and thoroughly
jaded; this soon caught the quick eye of the women,
who, when the troops made a momentary pause in
their march, cried out, " Give the poor fellows some
wine, they are thirsty." This was immediately done,
and the shopkeepers seemed all to vie with each
other in bringing the poor fellows wine, lemonade,
orange water, milk, &c., and many handsome young
girls assisted the men in this generous office,
thereby rendering the beverages more palatable
with their smiles and cries of " Cart fratelli,"
" Cart liberatori," " Viva la Francia," " Viva
l'Emperatore."
It is supposed that this corps remains here but for
to-night, and starts to-morrow for Lodi.
The corps of General M'Mahon left this morning
at half-put three, taking the road to Pavia; but I
believe their destination is Lodi, where there ia
still a large body of Austrians.

JUNE 8.
If yesterday was a great day for Milan and Italy,
to-day is a still greater one ; and certainly the hand
of Providence seems to guide the present destinies
of this kingdom, and to assure its people
a happy and glorious future. This morning, at
quarter past 6, the Emperor Napoleon 111. and his
Majesty Vittorio Emanuele entered the city at the
Forts Vercellina, followed by a most brilliant staff,
and were met by the provisional government and the
other city authorities, with the civic band and up-
wards of 20,000 citizens, who received their majesties
with the moat enthusiastic cheers. The ladies, even
at this hour of the morning, were up and dressedi in
their best, and greeted their Majesties with the
warmest cheers, waving of handkerchiefs, and shower-
ing down upon their heads thousands of bouquets,
which covered the streets through which they passed.
The Emperor has selected the Palazzo della Ville
during the few hours he remains here, and which
was lately the residence of Radetzky, and formerly
the temporary residence of the Emperor Napoleon I.
The King has taken up his residence at the house of
the Marquis Buses. Immediately after their Ma-
jesties marched a corps of about 20,000 Piedmontese
and French: and certtunly a finer set of fellows, espe-
cially the cavelry,it would be impossible to see in the
army of any other country.
The commotion at the present moment in Milan
is beyond all description, and the people from the
country are flocking into the city in thousands. The
Corso, at the moment I write (10 o'clock), is so
densely crowded, waiting for their Majestic:, who are
going to the Daomo, where a Te Deum is to be
sung, that it is utterly impossible to move ; and from
nearly all the windows is suspended tapestry of
various colours. It is impossible to give anything like
a correct idea of the magnificent effect of the scene.
At elevea o'clock all the clergy of the cathedral
and employls of the provisional government were at
the Duomo, ready to receive their Majesties; but at
twelve o'clock an order arrived to defer the Te Deans
till a later hour, their Majesties having determined,
immediately after a hasty Ojeiner, to visit all the
wounded in the different hospitals of the city, in
order to cheer, console, and distribute medals to the
poor fellows.
. . .

This evening there is to be a monster meeting of
the citizens in the new Piazza della Scala. They
intend to march to the palace where the King is
lodged to proclaim him King of Lombardy.
Up to this hour, 5 o'clock, their Majesties have
not gone to the Duomo, and the Corso is still
crowded with elegantly dressed persona, in the hope
that the Te Down will be at 6 o'clock.

It is said that there are large bodies of Austrians
in the neighbourhood of Malegnano, Colturano, and
lAndriano, and that a sufficient force of French
•mops has been already sent to these places.
General Urban—the "Butcher of Desio "—is said
to be at Gallarate, and a small body of French were
this morning sent in pursuit of this savage. I will
justify these expressions in my letter to you to-
morrow, if you have not already been informed of
the particulars. . .

This evening every house, nay every window of
every house, in the city is to be illuminated in
honour of their Majesties' arrival.

MELANCHOLY DEATH —An inquest wee held yes-
