people of Milan and its inhabitants, who still
maintained the same dgnifed silence but good
will was forever gone from both sides
The Extraordinary retreat OF the P1edmontese
army from Sommna Campagna to Milan, without
once stopping to hear the enemys cannon, seemed
to throw new light upon the case. We were

the hands of those who have not suffered with rs
and who do not share our impulses. Nobody can
hate the Austrians as we do, and therefore no
body can fight them as we can and will " {

was too fully known The people revolted. The
palace where the King resided vas surrounded,
guns were fred at his windows: WAR, w AR! was
the cry. Then the King came out upon the bal
copy and said that he bad been mlslead by false
report, and since he now saw that the wish oil the
people was to fight, he would most gladly lead
them against the enemy, But while he said so
he had sent for his guard this body soon came,
charged the people, and carried away the King.
Milan was given up to the Austrlans, and more
than one.third of its inhabitants of all classes
and ages, men, women and children, departed into
exile in endless professions, reminding those who
saw them of the departure Of the ancient Jews
from the fallen city ofJerusalem
Since that time, the Austrians have behaved IN
Milan and throughout all Lombardy as on the
very first day OF their victory. state OF SIEGE

sonment, exile, nothing has been spared to that
unhappy country. Women have been stripped
naked and beaten in the night, by the hands OF the

AS was natural all those who possessed, or
were thought to possess any thing, went and sub

came to pay it over no money was TO be found
The landed propretors had thought to borrow
from the money dealers giving their lands for Sc
curtv but the money dealers much ruin
ed as the others. In short the Commission named
by the Government 10 get the money was Obliged
to interfere and ask leave, in the name OF the
landed propretors, to borrow from foreign capital
lists since the money Which could be raised IN the
Lombard territory amounted to no more than 10
millions, whilst the sum ordered to be raised by
the Austrian Government was 100 millions
Such is the condition OF the country once the
richest in Europe. And it will continually be get
ting worse and worse, since Austria can only sus-
tain herself through the help OF an immense body
of troops, and this costs much Money can only
be made abundant by encouraging commerce and
ndustry-that is to say, lberty-and this IS pre-
ciselv what the Austrian Government cannot do.
So it must always spend great sums of money,

connection had shaken the whole Empire much

which form the body OF the Empire will be ruined
