ROMAGNA.

The following proclamation has been addressed
to the people of Romagna by M. de Azeglio :
People of Romagna,

Scarcely had victory delivered you from Austrian
occupation when, always ready both for strife and
for sacrifice, you hastened without a moment's
delay to offer your friendly embrace to Italy.
The King, Victor Emmanuel, who by the side
of our great ally, the Emperor of the French, is
fighting the last battles of independence, has heard
your voice and has sent me as his deputy amongst
you.

I am not come to make an off-hand settlement of
political questions, or questions of sovereignty,
which at the present moment would be ill-timed.
I am come to put in practice in these provinces the
wise counsel, which cannot be praised or repeated
enough, of the Emperor Napoleon, " Be soldiers
to-day, that to-morrow you may be free citizens of
a great state."
Nations are not regenerated by songs and mirth,
but by labour and dangers. God has willed that
independence and liberty, those supreme blessings,
should cost men supreme sacrifices.
Accordingly, I am not come to invite you to re-
pose and peace, but to war and fatigue. lam not
come to invite you to joy and feasting, but to sac-
rifices and privation. I do not bring you perfect
and unlimited freedom, but order and discipline.
lam not come among you as a new man. For a
long time I have wept for your sufferings, and ad-
mired your firmness in bearing them, your con-
stancy in keeping alive in your hearts faith in the
future of the Latin race. I know very well that
flatteries are not the thing to suit you, but frank and
manly language, and accordingly I speak to you
frankly.
If you are able to obey, you will be able to fight
and conquer. If your discipline is equal to your
courage you will count among the first soldiers of
the world, but discipline and order can never
strike root where discords exist. Those discords
you have already surmounted ; there is no longer a
trace of them among you ; Italy knows it and re-
joices at it; King Victor Emmanuel thanks you
for it; let them be for ever banished. God
has made man free in his opinions both political
and religious. He who would make himself
judge of another by violence would usurp the fairest
of God's gifts to man, and would impose on him
the most abject of servitudes. Forget all past bit-
terness, take hands like brothers, and believe that
all Italy is unanimous, and has only one will in its
desire for independence and self-government. Let
that be the glorious reply of the Italians to the old
charge that they are incapable, on account of their
dissensions, of becoming a free and independent
people. Labour to give the lie to that accusation,
and show that you are not, as your enemies as-
sert, impatient of all law and all restraint, but
impatient only of the unjust and shameful yoke of
the foreigner.
Long live Victor-Emmanuel and Italian inde
pendence.

MASSIMO D'AZEGLIO.

Bologna, July 11.

A letter of the 15th, from Rivoltella, a small
village near the Mincio, says :
" As the Emperor has left, the army will to-
morrow begin its homeward movement. The Im-
perial Guard is going to Milan, where its Ist
division will arrive on the 25th, and its 2d on the
26th. To the Ist corps also will belong the honour
of making a halt in the capital of Lombardy ; its
three divisions, encamped around Castelnuovo, will
therefore follow the same route as the Guard ;
they begin their movement the 19th, 20th, and
21st, and reach Milan on the 29th, 30th, and 31st.
The 2d corps is to be concentrated for the present
at Brescia, where its two divisions, starting from
Monzambano on the 16th and 17th, will reach their
destination on the 19th and 20th. They will thus
pass on the left of the battle-field of Solferino.
The Ist division of the 3d corps leaves ' Gioto to-
morrow, will cross the Po at Casalmaggiore, and
enter Parma on the 21st. The 2d division of the
same corps will remain on the right bank of the
Po, at Casalmaggiore, which is only three marches
from the point it now occupies, Certungo. Lastly,
the 3d division, leaving Volta and Pozzolo on the
19th, will go and occupy Bc.,zzolo and Piadena, on
the right bank of the Chiese. Leaving Valeggio
on the 16th, 17th, and 18th, the three divisions of
thu 4th corps will on the same day (the 23d) reach
their respective destinations, Piacenza, Pizzighe-
tone, and Cremona. They will pass by the very
places where they fought so gloriously on the 24th
of June, and will halt at the village of Guidizzolo.
The sth corps, provisionally commanded by Gen.
d'Autemarre, who replaced Princ. Napoleon on his
departure yesterday for Paris, is going to Bergamo,
where its two divisions will arrive on the 24th and
25th. This corps will not begin its movement until
the 18th, in order to leave the road free from Pes-
chiera to Milan, along which the Piedmontese army
and its siege artillery have been passing for the
last three days. The cavalry of the Imperial
Guard, now at Montechiaro, will start for Novi to-
morrow, through Cremona and Piacenza, and will
arrive on the 24th. The two divisions of cavalry
under Desvaux and Partonneaux leave Asola for
Tortona and Voghera, which they will reach on
24th and 25th. The artillery will march with the

divisions, and its parks as well as its reserves will
be sent to Pavia. Lastly, the reserve of the en-
gineers with its park will proceed to Canetto.
Departures are always sorrowful, says the pro-
verb ; this surely ought to form the exception,
but yet every face betrays a feeling of regret
which is scarcely counterbalanced by the thought
of the delight which is sure to burst forth beyond
the Alps. Every one made his provision of de-
votedness and ardour for an indefinite period,
and none was yet satiated with victory, and such
is the nature of man that when he has looked for-
ward to a long and arduous task, attended with
vicissitudes of all sorts, and has screwed up his
courage to the height of his enterprise, the very
unexpectedness of the success which meets him at
the outset produces an indefinable sentiment of
melancholy which his reason repels, but which all
his efforts cannot entirely throw off."

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The Union writes sharply against Count Cavour,
whom it seems to consider as the cause of all the
mishaps which have befallen the sovereigns of the
duchies. It says :
" The Siecle regards in a serious light the Minis-
terial farce which is now being played at Turin,
and in offering up wishes for the return of Count
Cavour to power, declares without a smile that it
considers him as one of the most enlightened states-
men of modern Europe. Without rendering M.
Cavour responsible for all the revolutionary
agitation which prevailed in Italy prior to the
breaking out of hostilities, we must declare we con-
sider him as the author of all the facts which led
to the annexation of the duchies and legations ; we
may even add, without fear of calumniating him,
that in his wisdom this statesman meditated the
annexation of Venetia, and his own domination
over Rome and over Naples. The peace of Villa-
franca has put a curb on that ambitious nature,
and has confounded the wisdom of this pre-
tended sage, for all which we thank Providence !
His retirement after such a mishap is logical ; his
return to power would be an inconsistency and the
accession of policy full of adventures and dangers."

SWEDEN.

In the following proclamation King Charles XV.
announces his accession to the throne. It is dated
Stockholm, Bth :

" We, Charles XV., by the grace of God, King
of Sweden and Norway, of the Goths and Wendes,
&c., do hereby declare to you that it has pleased
the Almighty to call to a better world our well-
beloved father, King Oscar 1., who during fifteen
years, governed in peace and prosperity the united
kingdoms of the Scandinavian Peninsula. In
sharing my deep grief, you will deplore with me
the loss of a Prince who, deeply penetrated with
the high importance of the mission which Provi-
dence had confided to him, only sought his satis-
faction and his glory in the conscientious fulfil-
ment of his duties. What he has done and what
he wished to do in favour of the progress of general
civilisation, the development of social institutions
and of the laws, and the industrial improvement
of his people, will be appreciated, now that he
has ceased to live, by grateful hearts; and the
annals of history will render justice to him by
offering to future generations the brilliant page
of the happy reign of Oscar 1., and the cherished
reminiscence of that just and merciful King. Now
we have taken possession, as of a glorious inhe-
ritance, of the sceptre, the weight of which the
late King, weakened by long sufferings, could not
bear to the end of his days ; and, in virtue of the
fundamental law and of the act of success'on, we
have taken into our hands the government of the
united kingdoms. After the powerful protection
of Providence, which we implore with humility and
confidence, for us and for our reign, it is in your
affection and your devotedness that we place our
trust ; we seek in them .for the support of our
throne, and your prosperity and your honour will
he the object and the recompense of our efforts.
We assure you of this, with all our Royal kindness,
and we recommend you to the particular favour o
God Almighty.

" CHARLES."

The Giornale di Boma denies that the flag of
the United States was insulted at:Perugia, since it
had never been displayed there. It adds that the
American family that lived there declared that the
Swiss behaved with a moderation that could hardly
have been expected after the provocations to which
they had been exposed.

A Vienna letter in the Frankfort German Jour-
nal says :—" It is stated that in consequence of the
actual state of affairs some important modifications
will be made in' the Austrian diplomatic service.
According to these reports, Count Colloredo will be
recalled from Rome and sent to St. Petersburg,
which he left in 1846, in consequence of personal
difficulties with the Emperor Nicholas. Baron
Hubner will be sent to represent Austria at the
Holy See, and be replaced at Paris by Prince
Richard de Metternich."

The Spanish journals announce that last week a
volcano suddenly broke out in the Cruz de la Muela,
one of the mountains near Orihuela, province of
Murcia. "It presented," say they, "an aspect
which was both imposing and horrible. Burning
lava rolled down the sides, and the crater threw
out ashes to a great distance. The town of On-
huela is considered in so much danger that the in-
habitants have taken to flight. The crops of cot-
ton and the cultivated fields in the vicinity of the
volcano are much damaged. The outburst was
succeeded by extraordina.y heat."

A VESSEL ENCLOSED IN ICEBERGS.—QUEBEC,
JULY 9.—The following letter, from the Quebec Chronicle,
contains a report of the Nyssia, which left this port in the
month of May, for Liverpool :—" St. John's (N.F.), June
23.—We were about 70 leagues from land, when we found
ourselves surrounded with ice, with two vessels in com-
pany. We strove hard to get of it, but in vain. On the
morning of the 3d a fresh breeze blew from the west; the
ice opened out, and we hoped to escape. At eight o'clock
a.m. the wind began to blow furiously ; we sailed with
reefed canvas ; two men were stationed in the rigging,
that we might be enabled to choose the best passage
possible. We ran from larboard to starboard, till about
nine o'clock, when we became fixed on a mass of ice
or sunken iceberg, which had floated towards us under
water. We observed rising to the surface, from underneath,
a portion of the false keel, and another portion of wood
supposed to belong to the cutwater. We tried the pumps,
and found 2 feet of water in the hold. The captain set to
the pumps with all the crew till noon. The men worked
hard and were nearly exhausted, and there was now 61
feet of water in the hold. Perceiving that it was impossible
to gain upon the water, the captain thought proper to.
lighten the ship as much as possible. We began to throw'
overboard all timber that was on deck. At 3 o'clock p.m.
the ship was full of water ' • at half-past 10 everything
moveable was overboard, and about an hour afterwards a
tempestuous wind raged from the north, and the sea
swept the decks so completely that every one on
board began to fear for his life. Towards midnight the
breeze abated a little, and the crew implored the captain to
put to land at the nearest point possible. On the oth the
ice cleared off a little, and we bore away towards the north.
On the evening of the 6th we were clear of the ice, and at
nine o'clock a.m. on the 7th we were at the entrance of
ghoafvidnisgtip•eaSssseadt
Havre du Croque. Everybody on board was extlhhoartaolus.mtgehd.,

assistance. At half-past two p.m. we cast anchor, all being
pleased that they had got safe off with their lives at the
cost of so much fatigue, wet, and toil. We waited to get a
passage to St. John's, and on the 10th we embarked on
board the steamer Dauntless for that port, where we arrived
on the morning of the 21st,"
