RoMe, AUG. 14 —Among the effects of Prince Canosa,
who died lately at Peruro, there were found autograph me-
moirs of his own life. The Government has sequestered
them, and sent an officer, who has received them ? Will they
ever be made public ? The accounts from the provinces are
distressing. Several small towns in the neighbourhood of
Spetelo have sustained considerable damage from earthquakes,
while the town itself has this time escaped. On the 6th of
this month a violent thunder-storm, with hail and rain, laid
waste a district in the Adriatic. In some places, for instance
in Fano and the neighbourhood, the hail-stones lay six inches
deep in the roads. The damage done to the vineyards, the
roofs of houses and windows, is said to be very great. The
roads, as we hear, are in some parts impassable. The thea-
tre at Dinigaglia was destroyed by fire on the 6th inst.
Nothing was saved, and two young men who had hastened to
afford assistance perished in the flames. Unhappily it is sup-
posed that the fire was the work of an incendiary.
MUNICH, Aco. 21.—The troops that are to be in the camp
at Augsburg are to consist of eight regiments of infantry, each
of two battalions, two battalions of Yagers, two regiments of
Cuirassiers, two regiments of light horse, four batteries of ar-
tillery of eight guns each, and a division of Pontoniers, with
twenty-four pontoons, the whole amounting to 16,000 men.
CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AT MILAN.--.-
They write from Milan, that the expense the inhabitants are
putting themselves to for the reception of the Emperor is quite
extraordinary. All the palaces and houses in the Corso Orien-
tate, the Corso de Servi, the Piazza del Duomo, and several
other important streets, have been completely repaired, and ex-
ternally adorned, without any solicitation from the authorities.
Notwithstanding that the heat is very great, the activity of the
workmen continues, and they even work at night by torch-
light. On all sides bills of lodgings to be let for the coronation
are to be seen, and the prices asked are excessive. A single
room lets for 100 f. a night.':,The municipality have kept some
large apartments for foreigners of distinction, which will be
paid from 2,000 f. to 4,000 f. a week. A balcony, not capable
of containing more than 10 or 12 persons, in the street where
the triumphal entry will take place, has been let for I,ooof. for
the occasion. A single chair, placed by the eastern gate of
the city, by which the Emperor will enter, is let for a Napoleon
for the first day of the ceremonies ; and a standing in a shed
near the same place has fetched 150 f. A carriage and pair
of horses for the day costs 400 f. Besides this stir at Milan,
great preparations were making at Bellano and Bellaggio,
where the Emperor and his suite were to arrive on the 24th,
and from whence they would proceed by water to Coma. Each
arrondissement bordering on the lake had fitted out magnificent
boats for the occasion, some of which cost several thousand
francs. They were to go in procession to Co:no, with music,
illuminations, &c.
