THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1862.

As is, indeed, but natural, under the circum-
stances, the accounts coming to us from Italy,
just now, vary according to the hopes and fears of
the writers who report what they see and hear
around them. We can almost tell beforehand
what will be the tendency of the advices received
as they drop in from different parts of the Roman
peninsula. And this, not merely, if the document
coming to hand be a " private letter from Rome," or
some exceptional correspondence from the Island
of Sicily. It is even within the bounds of possibility
to have a tolerably accurate foretaste of the flavour,
so to speak, of the opinions confided to us, accord-
ingly as they happen to be formed at localities, let
us say, as little remote from each other as Turin,
as Genoa, as Milan. The pro-capital, as we
may call it for the nonce, or the temporary metro-
polis of the new Italian Kingdom, is, almost as a
matter of course, all for the King and his Constitu-
tional Government. It signifies comparatively little
who chances to be at the head of affairs, whether
it be CAVOUR, or RICASOLI, or RATAZZI, the Prime
Minister and his colleagues are invariably, in the
estimation of the inhabitants of Turin, the re-
presentatives, par exellence, of the National Move-
ment. " Ccesarem vehis !" is the perpetual thought,
to all appearance, of the Turin population. And—
as by a sort of necessity—Turin is loyal, not only
to the KING, but to his Government. As Turin
is thus invariably and inevitably loyal, peopled
by Royalists—Geneva is, perhaps, more than any
other Italian City Mazzinian—and Milan more
than almost any other, even Naples, even Palermo,
Garibaldian ! The Genoese, it would be idle to deny,
are Garibaldian also, and even—whenever they have
the opportunity for showing it—enthusiastically
Garibaldian. But, beyond that, always, and not
fitfully, they are, for the most part, with the most
earnest of them, to the heart's core, Republican.
They have an "arriere pensee " even in their
momentary displays of devotedness to the Gari-
baldian cause—a cause always and avowedly in
the names of the KING and the Constitution—
they have even then an "arriere pensee " of Re-
publicanism. The slope of Genoa, to adopt the
phrase of LAMARTINE, is towards Democracy.
The Milanese, on the contrary, give themselves
up with their whole hearts to a sympathetic re-
sponse to any and every appeal that floats
to them —no matter from how far off—
from GARIBALDI. Nor can the enthusiasm cherished
at Milan for GARIBALDI be very much wondered
at. It comes not only from their remembrance of
his matchless exploits in the north of Lombardy,
between the borders of the lakes and the spurs of
the mountain range of the Carpathians, but—by a
sort of reaction—it comes also from their vivid
contrast of Ms magnificent disinterestedness, as
contrasted with the selfish ambition of the French
Autocrat.

The Milanese, we may be certain, remember with
a pang of mingled pity and indignation the way in
which the Emperor NAPOLEON, through his Pro-
clamation from their city, raised the hopes of all
Italy to the highest pitch well imaginable, only to
dash them suddenly to the dust immediately after-
wards. They remember more vividly than any
other section of the Italians the passion of grate-
ful enthusiasm with which they greeted the " Li-
berator of Lombardy," at the time of his issuing to
the world his famous Milan Proclamation. Our
own gifted countrywoman, since deceased, the late
ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING, has articulated in
an affecting lyric the love and admiration then felt
by the Milanese for NAPOLEON 111. Yet it was after
a very brief interval had elapsed, as we all only too
painfully recollect, that NAPOLEON falsified his own
words, virtually tore up his Milan Proclamation,
and scattered the fragments of it to the winds,
marred all that be had already accomplished of his
splendid programme by the pitiable anti-climax of
his abruptly improvised concessions to the young
Kaiser FRANCIS JOSEPH ! No, we may be certain
of this—those Milanese have never forgotten in any
one of its details, that evil compromise. That shame •

ful rupture by NAPOLEON at Villafranca of the

compact he had originally entered into at Plom-
bieres! How the startling knowledge of it

afflicted CAVOUR we have recently had the oppor-

tunity of learning minutely from the graphic pages
of Count CHARLES ARRIVABENE. And we cannot

certainly wonder that the Milanese should yet hold
in very painful remembrance what at the moment

of its occurrence made CATOUR nearly beside him-

self with passionate indignation ! Insomuch, says

ARRIVABENE, was the great Italian Statesman

astounded and infuriated by the knowledge of this

unlooked-for turpitude on the part of the French

EMPERCR that his face was flushed and burning,
that his voice was half-suffocated with emotion,

that he flung away his portfolio as Minister, that—

before withdrawing (as it proved, however, only for

the time being) into private life—he used words of

such uncourtly bluntness in the presence of VICTOR

EMMANUEL that the latter immediately ordered
CAVOUR from his presence:

No, the Milanese are not likely ever to forget

- • If
the news of what is now taking place in Italy comes
to us, therefore, . from Borne, from Sicily, from
Florence, from Turin, from Genoa, from Milan—.
we know at once the point of view from which those
events are regarded. It is no marvel consequently
that the intelligence varies in the most extravagant

manner, even within the twenty-four hours. So

that yesterday, for example, the tidings were dis-

tinctly to the effect, that all the young men of Italy

were hurrying as rapidly as might be in coasting

vessels ►down to the Sicilian reneezynno of the new
