between the different cities, Milan sending her
city fstbers 10 Turin. Turin hers 10 Pavia, Pavii
hers TO Genoa, sDd so all Touod to se,l the bonds
Of brotberly love with champagne and patriotic
sentiments. Writing ss do from Genoa, whose
inhabitants are rather backward IN the matter, and
have always been taxed with being ven too much
to traffic End money making to be good patriots,
am AFRAID that my Impressions of these festivals are
not per,e ct enough to do them full justice by de-
tailed descriptions We have had, in fact, only four
teen grand illumibstions here during the last four
moths about dozen b4nquets, and l DO not
know bow many days on which all the st. Gets were
decorated with banners in splendid style and great

are likewise bound 10 respect these votes, By TIE
precedent established by them in the D,nubian
