The municipality of Milan has presented to the
Emperor Napoleon the following address, dated
the 6th :

" Sire—The communal council of the city of Milan held
a sitting extraordinary to-day, at which it decided by ac-
clamation that the municipality should present to the Em-
peror Napoleon 111. an address, expressing the lively gra-
titude of the country for his generous co-operation in the
great work for the deliverance of Italy. Sire, the munici-
pality feel themselves highly
honoured by such a mandate,
although they are fully aware how powerless words are to
fulfil it. In an address, the magnanimous sentiments of
whiA were admired by all, but which the Italians listened
to with religious joy, and knew how to interpret it as a splen-
did omen, your Majesty said that you relied on the judgment
of posterity. Sire, the judgment on the sanctity of the war
which your Majesty has undertaken in concert with King
Victor Emmanuel I Lis alreadypronounced by the unanimous
opinion of civilised Europe, and the names of Montebello,
Palestro, and Magenta, now belong to history. But if in
the day of battle the greatness of your Majesty's plans,
scarcely equalled by the heroism of your soldiers, render us
sure of victory, we cannot help on the following day bitterly
deploring the loss of so many brave men who followed you
to the field of honour. The names of Generals Beuret, Cler,
and Espinasse, and of so many other heroes who have
fallen prematurely, are already inscribed down in the list of
our martyrs, tnd will remain engraven in the heart of the
Italians as on an imperishable monument. Sire, our grati-
tude to your Majesty, and to the great nation which you
have been called to render still greater, will be manifested
with more energy by the whole of Italy restored to liberty ;
but we are proud, in the meantime, to be the first to express
it, as we have been the first to be delivered from the odious
aspect of Austrian tyranny. Allow us, Sire, to hail your
Majestry by this cry of our people Viva Napoleone 111. I
la Francia I' "
The signatures follow, nine in number. An address
was also presented to the King on the Bth by the
communal council of Milan, confirming the expres-
sions contained in the address of the municipal
congregation presented on the sth, and entreating
his Majesty to assume as soon as possible the reins
of Government in Lombardy.
Of the eight delegations of Lombardy, five—
Milan, Como, La Valtelina, Bergamo, and Lodi
—have been liberated in less than a fortnight ;
and the three which remain are, Cremona,
Brescia, and the Mincio.
The Nord contains the following remarks on
the present position of the belligerent parties in
Italy :
" The Austrian army retires behind the line of the Mincio,
abandoning Lombardy, and the fortified places which it
occupied there, as also the immense military stores collected.
The combat of Canonica, so weakly sustained by General
Urban, the taking of the position of Marignan, held by
General Benedek, and the evacuation of Piacenza by the
corps of Prince Schwarzenberg, are the end of the first
period of the campaign of Italy. The second part of the
campaign will open on the Mincio, the lower part of the Po,
and Venice, It is not to be doubted that the plan of it has
been already settled in all its details by the Emperor Na-
poleon, and that this plan of final and decisive operations,
of which the various chances and difficulties have been
calculated with prudence and ability, will be executed with
the same precision and vigour as that which has opened
to the allies the gates of Milan. Reinforcements are
reaching the French army, and soon the Lombard and Tus-
can provinces will supply contingents to the allied forces,
destined to enfranchise Upper Italy. The Emperor Napo-
leon calls on the nation to take part in these glorious
labours and heroic sacrifices. ' Soldiers to-day,' says he,
