people"
glorfousiy French, beyond all manner of doubt
The most military people on the face OF the
earth. the most enthusiastic, passionately fond
Of grand displays, and knowing better how TO
get them MP than any other nation In the world,
the late return Of the legions must have been
a sight worth visiting Europe TO see, and was
magnificent consummation of the grand the
asrical performance which began with the de-
- ~ f~~ ~ Ca
dina Itwas splendid performance, with
rather = lame de~osemeaf however, that play
which has Just been ended--1he Independence
Of Italy. It began where most plays leave
olf--with wedding. The Prince NAPoLEos,
hero who outran the fastest Russian bullets
in the Cri.nea marries the Princess CLoTILpE
daughter OF the King Of Sardinia, a child OF
sixteen, who 10 sacrificed upon the shrine of
Italian Liberty, in consideration Of a rich pro-
vines TO be present ted by the Deliverer of Italy
fwho h helping his family up in the world, j
to her patriotic, affectionate and virtuous IA
Their. Then comes the honeymoon, which is
celebrated by great military parades and fes-
tivals. aThe King Of France, with fifty thou
sand men, leaves Paris In the midst Of grand
ovation. ErcENfK rides by his side in tears
the little son, heir of the Empire, sports the
uniform OF the grenadiers Of the Guard, to the
Intense admiration of the thropging and crowd
ing multitude, who already behold in him the
future glorious destroyer of millions of NOR
tails yet unborn. Then comes the agonizne
parting EuGKNrE cow ulsvely presses her
child TO her maternal heart; for once the in
flexible features Of NAPOLEON quiveri the
father and the husband triumph one moment
over tho great warrior; Paris beholds the Con-
Queror conquered by emotions common TO
common humanity, and shouts with delirious
sympathy. He tears himself away; gives a few
hasty directions TO the men alarms and DANES
dc horasr, who are under orders for Italy, and
then rushes to deliver that sunny land to the
Adriatic. ~
The scene changes to the sunny land afore-
said, and, as the plot Of the piece is develop
cd, the interest increases. Grand feats OF
arms are gotten up; French soldiers, NAPOLEON
attheir head, have splendid triumphal recep-
tons In italian cities; their bayonets are gar
landed with flowers; LOUIS and "the King -
ride side by side and the population throw
themselves nnder their horses feet The
beautiful waters of Venice are beleaguered by
q majestic French feet, who, on given signal
are to display every variety of pyrotechnics.
This, however, is but childs play to the colos
sal giadiatorial exhibitions gotten up for that
express occasion, on the arenas of NJ tebello,
Magenta and Solferino. Three hundred thou
sand gladiators engaged in deadly fight was q
spectacle such no Roman Emperor was ever
able to get up, and the blood of a hundred
thousand killed and wounded was a lbation
such as never before glowed at a marriage feast.
The orange wreath of bridal, variegaed with
spots like those of Soferino, might have made
Lady MACBETH ashamed of herself. She
made grand fuss over some little "spots''
that the letting out of single life had left upon
her hand, and thought that all the waters of
the ocean could not wash il clean. How many
oceans will it take To wash the floor of that am
phitheatre In Lombardyl However, Soiferino
was glorious victory, and not more wonder
full than the combat, was the sudden peace by
which 1t was followed. None but an ingenious
artist could have produced such an instanta-
neous change of scene. One instant the sky all
clouds and thunder, then all peace and sun
shine. Two Emperors meet, exchange a few
words, separate, and then, handing over the
marriage present. Lombardy, TO the sanity and
pntriarchal father -in-law of Prince NApo-
LEON, the King of France marches back again.
The last act of the drama closes with the
splendid scene, just described in the papers,
1.-The Return Of the Veterans" The whole
population are present at the piece, some
times paying higher for good window
than is usually paid for first-rate box at
tho theatre. The Emperor Is hailed with
acclamntions; the Zouaves overwhelmed with
shouts and garlands; the Turcos-those M
Ynidisn lions---under charge of their keepers
give the variety to the spectacle which me-
nagerie affords TO circus; but OF all the per-
formers, the populace are especially delighted
with the wounded and crippled. A man with
no arms was considered a beauty, and the loss
of both arms and legs, was quite irresistible
The unfortunate possessors of whole carcases
had every reason &c envy the condition. for the
time of the most defaced and mangled of the
incurables Then, there were tattered flags,
and Austrian cannon, some OF them borrowed
for the OCCASION and, last of all, the inevitable
iasant, the Imperial Prince, in the same
Grenadier uniform worn in the first act, is
seen to whisper something to his father, when
10, he raises him from the ground, places him
In the saddle before him, and the whole heav-
en- Is rent with acclamations
All this proves the unfathomable wisdom of
the Italian contest, and the unbounded sue
cess Of that grand struggle. There can be no
longer any doubt that Italy is free to the Adj
riatic. Most people supposed that the entry of
the French army into Vienna would have
been more conclusive Of that result than the
taking Of Paris by the French. But this is an
old fogy notion and, therefore, let us all shout
viye PEmpereur! viye Italy! viye Hum
buzz! ~ @ ~
