BsEscIA, March 10.
My DEAR FRiEND-We have at length
arrived in Italy, after having passed through
twenty countries all in revolution. Up to
this moment we have not had an hours
quiet, for wherever we turned, there burst
the revolutionary waterspout. Whatever
shore we reached, the waves broke IN upon
it, and drove us before them. We have
been at Brescia about half an hour, and
must leave it before the hour is over. We
were afraid OF Vienna-afraid Of Milan -
No strangers! was the cry there; and
though knew they meant the Austrians,
yet | was not certain how far they might
carry their nationality. We knew that
Rome was celebrating a constitutional car
nival; That Florence's Grand Duke was
proclaiming constitutions; that Naples had
king to-day, and will have tomorrow
a Masaniello. We thought Of Monaco,
but it appears a republic is proclaiming
there. The republic Of st Marine next oc-

riously Of procfaiming an emperor. A
prophetic hunah has reached us from the
Don Cossacks. Asia has turned her eyes
westward, and drawn the sword against the
Emperor Of all the Cossacks. Every day
we see the moon rising. it appears to US un-
der every form, and in every colour. |

But it is not the honeymoon; alas! we know
not where TO find that To what shore, "a
vored OF Heaven, are we now to steer our
frail bark Of love, launched into the open sea
in such stormy weather! We had ioyfully
cried out 'landp when We reached Brescia.
Here in the fair fields Of Lombardy, where
spring has already come with her hands full
Of opening flowers and verdant foliage, we
hope to forget the world and its revolutions;
but hardly had we alighted from the dill

Milan, was on his way to Brescia, which
he believed TO be friendly to him.
My worthy friend, said |, you really

a parley with them, interrupted from time
to time by poor nervous Englishwoman,
white as her country's cliffs, protesting that
though she did come from Munich, she was
not Lola Monies. In a few minutes, how.
ever, diversion was effected in our favor
by the arrival OF second carriage. The
mob rushed towards it, and seizing upon a
man who alighted from it, dragged him into
the next square. They say it is the viceroy:
am not sure; but one thing is certain, that
the revolution is here as well as everywhere
else. Danton said that we did not carry
our country about with us on the sOles oil

with me dust pregnant with revolutions.

Her woman's wit at last suggested
why not go back whence we cameP She
is quite right. Will you, then have the
