THE WAR IN ITALY.

liarrtESS FROM PARI6.

(1011 00M ovng COMSPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVZNIIKO.

Tb WWII which I bent yon some time since that
Marshal Valliant was about to return to France,
and that the Minister at War, Marshal Randon,
would go out to Italy to replace him as Major-
General of the army, is now considered certain.
General Lahitte is spoken of as likely to be the new
Minister at War. I hear that reinforcements to the
extent of 60,000 men are about to be seat to the
army of Italy.

It is stated that the proviaions which fell into the
hands of the allies in Milan, Piacenza, Paris, Lodi,
&c., are sufficient to feed their armies fur eix
weeks.

A Milan letter of Jane 9 announces in a single
line the arrival there of Garibaldi, but gays nothing
of his following.

Baron Breuier leave. for Naples to-morrow.
We read in this evening's Patric
The retreat of the Austrian. is becoming • perfect rout;
and now, se if to complete our triumph, comes the Empe-
ror's proclamation to the Italians, which echoes throughout
Europe like the sound of a new victory. Such generosity
after so many escridees, such moderation after so much
heroism, are indeed things to astonish the world. Napoleon
111 's proclamation is u grand as an inspiration of Corneille,
It is one of those pages which have no "Kilda time to become
history, but which belong to posterity from the first. The
address of the city of Milan to the Emperor, which is pub-
lished in ageism by the Mersifewe of this morning, is worthy
of the sovereign and of the cause which it celebrates. Its
language is each aa befits the patriotism of an oppressed
country in the presence elite liberator.
The Pays aaya :

We shall doubtless shortly receive important news from
the theatre of war. The French army, pursuing the Aus-
trians, !unjust crossed the Adda. But where will the seamy
stop? On the line of the Ogllo or only on that of the
Minna? We incline to the letter hypothesis, for Count
Gramm, in his official dispatch published by the Vienna
Gamete, plainly says that the army has left the line of the
Adda to draw tearer to its reinfacements. By this state-
ment Mantua and Verona are clearly indicated. It id there-
fore pr.bable that a great battle will be fought between
Oglio, Minciu, end the Lego Garda, en the very ground im-
mortalised by the campaign of 17967, and that
this battle will be decisive. As to the humus
quadrilateral, we confess that we hold it in very
email respect. The fat* of Path and Piacenza show
the true value of fortresses—there the enemy hes spiked his
gum, thrown Ms ammunition into the water, blown up the
ramparts which were built at such countless expense, and
left behind him but heap of rains. A battle lost on the
Minclo, and Mantua and Verona will fall es Piacenza and
Pavia did altar the battle of Magenta,
The Bonne was exceedingly animated at the
opening. Most of the brokers had received orders
from the country to bay, and during the Brat half-
hour every description of securities was eagerly
demanded at advanced prices. It was not till the
Rents had risen 70c. or 80c. that rollers began to
come forward. The retreat of the Austrians
beyond the Adda, the attitude of Russian
diplomacy towards Germany, and the all but
certain prospect of a Palmentonian ministry were
hailed as favourable symptoms. Many " discounts"
were posted, which forced sellers to liquidate their
Mounts. There was, however, a violent reaction
within the last half-hour, which brought down the
Rents considerably from the highest point of the
day. It closed at 63fr. 20c. for cash, and 63fr. for
account, after having been quoted at 83fr. 60c. and
631 r. 43c. The rise on the day was therefore but
60e. end 35c. Mobilier rote llfr. 25c. The
Orleans railway rose 2fr. 60c., Northern and
Eastern 7fr. 60c. each, Lyons 2fr. We., Southern
2fr. 60c., and Western 16fr. The P corrects a
serious error in its bulletin of Saturday, which
gave the closing price of Southern Railway shares
as 442 fr. 60e., whereas it should have been 482 fr. 60c.

ITALY.

SARDINIA.

CROY ODE SPECIAL

VERCELLI, Icier 10.
The railroad which runs from Turin to Milan will
be opened again for publio traffic on Sunday next.
War operations and Austrian destruction compelled
the government to break off the communication
with the magnificent town which only a few days
ago was still the capital of an Austrian province,
now, for the most part, united to Piedmont. This
interruption has not, however, prevented the
greater number of Lombard refugees from hasten-
ing to their longed-for native land. This homeward
movement, together with the exigencies of war,
has depopulated Vete,lli and Turin. Those who
were fortunate enough to reach the Lombard capital
on Wednesday morning had an opportunity of wit-
'reusing one of the most exciting and interesting
scenes of modern history—l mean the entry
into Milan of the two allied sovereigns. A
friend of mine, just arrived from Milan, tells me
that the most powerful imagination cannot con-
ceive the enthusiastic reception which both the
Emperor and the King met In tee ancient dwelling-
place of Vinontis and Stories. On this solemn oc-
casion the people of Milan went beyond the limits
of Italian euthusium, and greeted their liberators with
a hearty warmth that has made the deepest impres-
sion on the minds of Napoleon and Victor Emma-
nuel. Although the entrance of their Majesties
had been anticipated for four hours the Milanese
were on their guard, so that the march through the
street. of the town was really a glorious and tri-
umphal one. The King did not try to conceal the
deep emotion which his face; betrayed, and the
Emperor himself could not control the joy he felt on
that memorable occasion. And, indeed, how could
it have been otherwise? Both the monarchs must
have felt at that time all the power they possess, all
the good they hare done. For kings and emperors
there is such a satisfaction in achieving a glorious
work—the work of a great and unhappy people's
regeneration—that one can understand how in
that hour their hearts must have been over-
whelmed by joyful emotion*. Were I to nit-
rate all the touching episodes of that day
I should not write a letter buts volume. In order
that you may fully understand the solemnity of the
occasion, 1 must tell you that after the bloody
battle of Magenta, the Austrians, on their passing
through Milan, had spread the news that the whole
of the Piedmonteee army had been destroyed. You
may easily imagine the anguish of those who had
relatives in the ranks of the national army. As the
Piedmontese regiments defiled you might see ladies of
high rank leave their carriages, and with tears in
their eyes anxiously ark for tidings of their sons
or of their brothers. Happily for them the
Austrian statements soon turned out to be false.
When the 7e Drum was over the Emperor rode to
the Villa Reale, and the King to the Palace Buses.
The popular ujoioing continued till a sad procession
began. It was formed by the wounded of Magenta,
who were carried from the station to the hospital.
You might then have seen counts and marquises
carrying in litters the wounded Z.:lives and Ber-
saglieri. You would have seen more than 200
equipages of the noblest and wealthiest families of
the town waiting to convey the wounded soldiers,
who were about to change their hard hospital beds
for soft and easy ones. The palaces of nobles and
, bankers were thrown open to the troops, and tables
laid in a princely fashion for the new comers.
It was impossible for soldiers or officeft to
make the proprietors of cafés and hotels
receive payment for refreshments. Money
was freely distributed amongst the wounded
by ladies and gentlemen. A deputation of rich and
iefiuential people was sent to the King begging him
to have the loan ordered by the Austrians still
raised. forty millions of francs were thus sub.
scribed before evening. While these exciting scenes
were still going ow the admirable proclamation of

the Emperor was peffilliehod. You will no doubt have
already received this remarkable document.
In the meanwhile Piedmont was not idle in cele-
brating the great victory. As I told you in my last
letter the Sardinian capital was making great pre-
parations for the solemnity. Although the day had
been rainy, a starry night had followed. In the
evening a gentle breeze had swept away the heavy
clouds of the day, and • glorious moonlight--an
Italian moonlight—added to the effect of the most
successful illumination. The Town-hall, the Arsenal,
the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate, the King's
Palace, Piazza San Carlo, and all the offices of the
Piazza Castello, were ablaze with thousands of
coloured lights. The stations of the Geneva and
Sun railroads were also brilliantly illuminated.
The glorious names of Frasinetto, Montebello,
Paleatro, and Magenta were interwoven with those
of Victor Emmanuel, Napoleon, Italy and France.
Vercelli, I have been told, was equally grand in its
show of lights and triumphal arches. It was, in
fact, a popular solemnity which was arranged by a
free and happy people. What a contrast with the
mournful procession which only a few days before
the Papal Nuncio was leading at Vienna!
Whilst these popular demonstrations were going
on at Milan, Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers got scent
that the Austrians were entrenching themselves at
Malegnano, • large town, and only ten miles from
the Lombard capital. You will remember that at
the time the League of Cambray was over Julius 11.
called upon the Italian States to join him in his
generous but illusory scheme of driving the barba-
rians out of Italy. The general' of Louis XII.,
attacked by the Swiss, Spanish, and Italian confedo.
rates, notwithstanding their high.purchased victory
of Ravenna, were ultimately compelled to evacuate
the country. But the struggle was soon renewed on
the accession of the two formidable rivals, Francis I.
and Charles V. On the 13th of September, 1616,
the French King won, on the Ist day of his reign,
the battle of Malegnano, when the Swiss merce-
naries of his adversary were completely routed.
What happened to the Swiss 344 years ago occurred
on Tuesday last to General Benedek's corps d'armee.
This general hadbeen despatched to Malegnano, in
order to cover the retreat of the main body, which
after the day of Magenta was compelled to fall back on
Pavia. You know already how the Austrians had
evacuated the last named town, trying to make their
way towards the Adda. It moms that they had
already succeeded in reaching the main road of Case
Puaterlengo, when Benedek was completely routed
at Malegnano, with a loss of 1,200 prisoners and
twice as many wounded and slain. As soon as
Prince Schwarzenberg was aware of the misfortune
which had happened to Benedek, he fell back spin
on Pavia, perhaps with the object of getting to
Piacenza by the longest way ; as the shortest one
could have been intercepted by the French
and Sardinian troops. Ido not know whether he
has succeeded, for I am too far from that
town, but everything leads me to believe that
the Prince may find • strong body of men dis-
puting him on the pass of the Po. Yon see that,
even supposing the scattered Austrian army shouid
run so fast as to arriva on the Oglio before the
French, it cannot oppose to them any serious resist-
ance. General Gyulai, or Watherveria, is now the
Austrian commander, and will be compelled to fall
back on the stronghold of Mantua, Verona, Peachier.,
and Legoano, in order to reorganise his demoralised
army. On the night of Wednesday the Austrian
garrison of Laveno was obliged to seek protection on
the Swiss territory, together with the three war
steam-boats Radetzky, Benedek, and Taxis. The
Duchess of Parma has also fled, and the little duchy
has proclaimed the sovereignty of Victor Emmanuel.
