ITALY.

The King of Sardinia has addressed the following
autograph note to the Podesta of Milan :

"Dear Count Belgioioso, The testimony of
pious remembrance offered by the people of Milan
on the 28th of July to the memory of my noble
father has deeply affected my heart. The Milanese,
associating themselves spontaneously to the domes-
tic sorrow of their King, prove that the bonds
which unite me to them are bonds of love. I re-
joice at it. In honouring the memory of Charles
Albert for the first time, they have at the same
time shown that years and events have not dimi-
nished their reverence and gratitude towards the
originator of their independence ; and I thank them
in the name also of Italy. Although I did not
want any further proof to be convinced of the
affection and loyalty of my Milanese, it has never-
theless been so pleasing to me that I feel it neces-
sary to certify to them how fully I have under-
stood their feelings. Your honourable municipa-
lity, in conveying my sentiments to their fellow-
citizens, will fulfil one of the dearest wishes of my
heart. " VICTOR EMMANUEL.

"'Turin, July 31."
A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels,
says :—" Count de Reiset, who had an interview
two days ago with the Marquis Dabormida at
Turin, is stated to be of opinion that he will not
find in the Piedmontese Government the support
which, it had been hoped, he would obtain. His
mission, it may be remembered, is to prepare, by
conciliatory means, the populations of the Italian
States to consent to the return of their Sovereigns,
subject to the condition of the latter making con-
cessions, more or less liberal. If I am well informed,
the Marquis Dabormida did not disguise from Count
de Reiset that the Government of King Victor Em-
manuel had attained the last limits of concessions
in recalling its commissions from the revolutionised
States, and he is represented to have added that it
was impossible for the Sardinian Government to
support a measure contrary to its well-known sym-
pathies in favour of the liberation of the Italian
States."

The Opinione of Tulin announces that about
30,000 French troops will provisionally remain in
Italy, owing to the precarious state of some of the
proVinces. They are to be stationed at Pavia,
Milan, Casal Maggiore, and Piacenza.
The Piedmontese. Gazette of t'-e 3d contains
various Royal decrees, viz., one suppressing a pro-
visional office in the department of Foreign Affairs ;
another revoking- the full powers granted to the
Governor of Lombardy, and investing him with
those which formerly belonged to the Lieutenancy
under the Austrian rule ; a third, already an-
❑ounced by telegraph, extending the laws of the
press to Lombardy ; and a fourth, authorising the
purchase, by the State, of the railway connecting
Alessandria and Novi with Stradella and Pia-
cenza.

The Modena Gazette of the 31st ult. publishes
decrees signed by the lately-elected Dictator :-1.
Organising the army in a brigade to be called the
Brigade of Modena; 2. Entrusting the command
of the brigade to Major-General Ribotti ; and 3.
Provisionally appointing Colonel Frapolli to be

Minister of War. The brigade of Modena is to
consist of three regiments of infantry of two bat-
talions each ; a battalion of riflemen, a field battery,
half a battery of mountain artillery, and a squadron
of Guides. The same paper announces that Mar-
quis Fontanelli and Chevalier Malmusi have had
an audience of his Majesty the Emperor of the
French, and received encouraging assurances re-
garding the future destiny of the country.
