carrying It there with high hand. Some
800 peasants have been taken from their
labor In the fields in that neighborhood, and
set TO work in the Entertainments which
they are throwing up around the town.

cases their roofs removed, guns placed with.
in the walls, and the houses thus converted
into little fortresses. Others, which might
serve the enemy o. places Of attack, have
been levelled. Notice has been given that
all who wish to leave the town will be al
lowed five days to do SO. The Pope's rep
resentative has set out for Rome. Many
volunteers from that quarter are constantly
coming in this direction, and passing to-
wards the north. As many as five or six
hundred arrive and depart in single day.
They are mostly good looking young men,
apparently belonging to the more prosper
Gus classes. II does not seem as if their
slender, well formed figures were suited to
bear the fatigues Of life in the camp.
Florence is almost turned into military
school. There is constant passing and re-
passing Of companies Of recruits. going
through their first drill, and acquiring their

that the most selfish should not be moved
with admiration aud sympathy, witnessing
so many signs Of patriotism and so much of
a spirit of sell sacrifice among the young
men OF Italy.
Italy is rapidly getting rid Of the trum-
perry princes with which the country has been
infested not only those who claim a lodg-
ment in it by divine right, but those also
who come to covet its beauty or spy out its
nakedness. The King and Queen Of Prus-
STA have just LEFT Rome, skulking towards
home by Auconl, along the shores Of the
Adriatic. On the same day the Prince of

The King of Naples still fingers, as near as

suffering, but his days must be near their
end. II he is still in condition to think,
his thoughts must be less about the affairs OF

King, who is heir to the throne, is q favorite
of the people, and hopes are entertained that

when he comes TO the administration Of
affairs. The nother OF the hereditary prince
was Sandman, and the new sovereign
might thus more naturally embrace inhu-

second wife C the King, who is an Austrian,
is said 10 be intriguing for one Of her own
children, but as Austrian power in Italy is
erumbling, the prospeci for success does not
appear very promising.
The proclamation Of Louis Napoleon has
caused great sensation in Italy, and raised
the enthusiasm for him even higher than be-

The Italians take him at his word, and see
in him only the Que who il to be the con
