THE MOVEMENT IN PARMA.

The correspondent of London paper says
the Sandman government took for granted
that the Duchy of Parma was to be annexed
to Piedmont, and acted accordingly: and the
people, believing that the annexation was an
accomplished fact, were perfectly content.
But the two Emperors have agreed that not a
single mile of territory more than Lombardy
up to the Mincio, shall be added to Piedmont;
and the government of Victor Emmanuel, CON
fused by the conduct of France went on in a
way which led the people Of Parma to believe
they were 10 be united to Piedmont
When Count Reset, the Envoy of the EN-
peror Napoleon, went to Parma, as he went to
the other Duchies, to try to persuade the peo-
pie to receive back their old sovereign, they
began to open their eyes, and they took such
means of proving to the envoy the unaccepta-
bic character of his proposal that he beat an
ignominious retreat The Piedmontese gov
eminent was forced TO recall it's commissioner;
and then the abandoned people saw that some
decided step was necessary. A formal express
sion of public opinion was proposed but it
was found that little or no time had been left
for this, for ten thousand French troops had
taken possession of Piacenza, several thou
sands were every day expected i'll the city of
Parma, and it was apprehended that under the
shelter of the French bayonets the Duchess
Regent would be restored to her authority.
In this state of things the people became in
dignant. Many of them blame the Piedmont
csc Government. Moderate men, in this diff
cult and exasperating state of affairs, retired
from the Provisional Government Republi-
cans promptly replaced them ultra Republi-
cans, thought to be an extinct party, emerged
into light and activity volunteers, abandon
ing the Piedmontese ranks, and complaining
of the illtreatment Of Piedmontese officers,
poured into the Duchy the Regent was
threatened with assassination If she attempted
to return; and in public cafe there has been
| opened list Of subscribers, who bind them
selves to shoot or stab any person who VEN
lures to propose or promote the return OF the
Duchess
The people (adds the writer, speaking from
long acquaintance) are naturally quiet, orderly
| and kind-hearted they will remain quiet so
long as spark Of life remains; but when the
last spark is cxtinguished, the reign of blood
shed and terror will commemorative will be
u REPETITION in 1859 of the horrors of 1919 /;
and what is true Of Parma is said to be equally
true of Modena, Tuscany and the Legations.
| These gloomy forebOdings seem to be in course
OF realization A telegram from Parma, Of
the 9th, states that the red republic has been
proclaimed in that city, and that the people of
property and The friends Of order have fled.
In reference TO the above intelligence, the
Times Of yesterday says: "'rhe Geographic
despatch from Parma is quick fulfllment Of
the anticipations we venture to put forth yes
terday. If il be purely and simply true that
the Red Republic has been proclaimed at
Parma, that these Piedmontese have been
driven from the city and that the respectable
classes are in flight, then poor doomed Italy
has once again missed her opportunity OF free
dom.
