SARDINIA.

MILAN, AUGUST 9.—This city has for the last
three days been keeping high holiday in honour of
the solemn entry of Victor Emmanuel as King of
Lombardy. He left Turin the day before yester-
day, at three in the afternoon, having in his suite
a great part of the Parliament, who had received
his gracious invitation to attend. Along the whole
line he was greeted with shouts by the people.
By half-past six the King reached the barrier of
the Eastern gate, where a magnificent pavilion had
been erected. Here he was welcomed by the
authorities, and the Mayor of Milan, Count Belgio-
joso, read an address, which was greatly ap-
plauded. The King replied in a few touching
words, after which he mounted his horse, and the
whole of his train mottrlted their's, except the
senators and deputies, wherode in court carriages.
The Corso of Porta, Renza, otherwise called the
Eastern Gate, is one of the most beautiful streets
that any city of Europe can boast of. Conceive it
filled with an immense throng, and all the balconies
radiant with that beauty for which the Lombard
women are famed ; to complete the picture, im-
agine an infinite number of banners and flags,
so dense that they seemed to form a tended arcade.
Along this enchanting scene rode the King, be-
tween two rows of the National Guard in
their rich uniforms and perfect military bearing ;
whilst a perfect rain of flowers, never ceasing
for one instant, and rapturous cries of " Long live
the King !" " Long live Italy !" poured down
upon him amid the peals of the church
bells. When the King and the royal cortege
reached the famous cathedral—that mountain of
sculptured marble, as Michael Angelo called it—
they were welcomed under another pavilion by the
clergy. Having entered the church, and listened
to the Ambrosian hymn, the King, with his suite
had not much further to go, for the royal palace is
in the same square as the minister. Both on enter-
ing and leaving the cathedral the applause of the
vast multitude was tremendous. That very morn-
ing, just as the ornamenting of the pavilion before
the chief gate of the cathedral was completed, the
same multitude had commenced a riot, accusing the
municipal authorities of having hoisted the same
flags and drapery that they had used when,
greeting the Archduke Maximilian. They had
spied out some yellow and black striping, which
you know forms the Austrian cockade. Some
Zouaves, having been told what the row was about,
joined the malcontents, and in a very short time the
pavilion was torn to shreds. Another canopy of
some kind or other had to be extemporised, and so
to suit the humour of the people, it was com-
posed of the tricoloured national flags alone.
Yesterday he received all the constituted bodies of
the state, and many deputations from the city and
country. Among the guests at the banquet was
the celebrated poet, Alessandro Manzoni. It is
said, the King, in plain clothes and perfect incog-
nito, paid him a visit previously, at his own dwell-
ing. I hope this rumour will turn out to be a
fact, and that virtue with genius combined has re-
ceived this mark of reverence from one of the best
monarchs that adorn this age.
In Milan there are still two divisions of the French
army. Talking of them, permit me to relate to you
an anecdote of much importance, the accuracy of
which lam able to guarantee to you. When the
news of the peace of Villafranca reached this place,
the consternation was profound and universal. This
feeling was soon changed into one of fury, and the
aspect of the entire city became highly menacing.
The colonel of the Piedinontese carabineers, Arnulfi,
made it known to the commandant of the French
garrison, who answered in a dry and cold manner,
that having under his orders 20,000 French bayonets
he laughed at ail the ill-humour of the Milanese. A
few hours later the same commandant called upon
Colonel Amalfi, and with some anxiety begged him
to state what the temper of the people was then,
and to keep him informed of it. It was not diffi-
cult to detect the reason of the French comman-
dant's sudden anxiety ; he had been communicatni
With his principal officers, who had assured hi=;ni
that they could, not rely with full security on their
men, as these shared more than was to be wished
the sentiments of the Milanese. There the matter

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

Notwithstanding the large number of troops con-
veyed fr,nn Italy to France, no accident occurred
with the exception of a slight collision between two
transports. The ficet from tne Adriasic has arrived
at Toulon, and is laid up in ordinary, with the ex-

ception of some vessels that are being refitted and
are taking in provisions. All the gunboats have
been taken into dock. The steam frigate Isley and
the steam cutter \longe still remain in the Adriatic.
They have returned to Antivari, where they will,
remain for some time, to protect the numerous
transports laden with coal which were sent into
the Adriatic to supply the steamships. The four
regiments of Chasseurs d'Afrique are at present at
Genoa, where they are to embark for Algeria.
A letter from Pont Audemer, near Havre, says
that the battery called l'Hopital is teing mounted
with twelve rifled cannon. An artillery officer has
arrived at Honfleur to superintend the operations,
and a provisional barrack is being erected to lodge
fifty men. Similar preparations are being made at
Fecamp, where a battery is to be erected on the
sea coast, near the Casino.

A letter from Cherbourg, dated yesterday, an-
nounces that the Imperial yacht Aigle will sail
thence on the 16th for Biarritz, to be placed at the
disposal of the Emperor and Empress for their mari-
time excursions. The construction of this handsome
pleasure boat was commenced on the 7th of May,
1858, and she has just completed her trial trips.
Her length is from stem to stern 270 feet, her
greatest breadth of beam is 31 feet 6 inches. When
fully laden she draws 13ft. of water. Her engines
are of the nominal power of 500 horses. She is not
provided with a screw, as it is found that such a
propeller, though admirably suited to a ship of war,
produces a trembling motion in the after cabin,
which is by no means agreeable in a pleasure boat.
The yacht in her trial trips accomplished 15 knots
per hour. The Aigle, independently of her nauti-
cal qualities, is greatly admired for the beauty of
her lines. Her hull is painted black, with two gold
streaks, which meet at the head of a magnificent

eagle.

The 3loniteur of Friday morning publishes the
usual monthly debtor and creditor account of the
Bank of France, made up to Thursday. The cor-
responding figures of the last month are added :

PRUSSIA.
A telegram from Berlin, dated the 11th instant,

The state of King Frederick William is much
worse since yesterday. Paralysis has gained his
left side. His Majesty is almost in a state of un-
consciousness. Fatal results are feared.
The Prince and Princess of Prussia arrived here
