The Feeling in Italy--COOl Reception Of
the Emperor AZ Milan.
The New York Times has a good deal
Of special correspondence from italy,
which represents the feeling Of disconlent
univrIs sal. and Milan was ready to revolt
MslAkOf says. nothing but respect to the
Milaness for the French army has prevent
ed a series Of duels; for whatever may be
the sentiments Of the army in regard to
the unexpected termination of the war,
they will not permit tie Italians to make
use Of abuses or injurious reflections to-
wards their Commander-in-cbief. Thus
heard gentleman says this morning, in
the cafe OF the Hotel de laVille, the great
rendezvous Of the French officers. that the
Emperor had betrayed Italy: The word
Was tsken up by young captain Of Zou'
aves, who had his arm in sling. from a
wound received OF SolfsrIno. and who de-
manded at once retrsclion Of the word.
The retraction was made by modification
OF the language. ! afterwards had long
conversation with this officer. and he de-
clared that he must leave for Paris as
soon as possible, or be should have some
fights on our hands, Tor he could mol
stand the ingratitude Of these PEOPLE any
longer.
The French army. he said. had ceme
here long distance in the heat CT the
summer, to fight their battles and gain
their independence; 10000 Of The army
were then out OF service from death. wounds
and disease; the soldiers were suffering
for the neceseaIies Of lie. He had seen
his own men pay three francs to these
people for bottle Of execrable wine. that
ordinarily sold at half a franc; and worse
than all, he hat seen French wounded
men twice turned out OF the houses TO ac-
commodate Austrian soldiers, and said
that after he saw that, he did not care for
the future. whether he turned his sword
against the Italians OF the Austrians -
One Of the men who swears the longest
loudest and most peTsistently against the
peace signed by the Emperor. is Mr.
Edmund Texire, Of the Steele, who is now
here with the rest of the Journalists who
were at Dsnsano. You will understand
that when the Steele. which is the head
and front Of the Republican party il
France, laid aside its opposition to the
Emperor Napoleon. in order to espcusf
the cause of Italian Independence, which
he also had espoussd, it did il upon the
solemn promise that the war was not wal
OF conquest, and that Italy was to be free
and United in great State, which shoulC
reach TO the Adriatic. During the whole
war, NJ. Texire, here, and the other edi
tors Of the Steele, at home, have supported
the war end the Chief OF the Nation, will
a zeal and enthusiasm not surpassed b.
the Government papers themselves. Yo,
can therefore immagine the immense dis
gust and indignation Of M. Texire. at tb'
singular turn OF affairs that has takel
place. .-,s
He actually looks pale over it. and de
clares he is going home without writing
another word to bis paper. Some one TO
day quoted the expression: "The King O
France with forty thousand men, marched
up the hill, aud then marched down again;
and some one else declared that the ARM
was victorious, but its General was defeat
ed. These expressions show you tn
current of public feeling, The French
men generally agree upon one point, snC
that is, the Emperor's great fault was il
promising TO Iiberate all Italy, without be
ing sure that insurmountable obstacle
would intervene. He should have quail
fsd bis language. Under any circumstan
ces, be has spent an immense amount O
b lood and treasure for the Lombards, VIII
are free, and il is not they who ought l.
complain. Such was the feeling at Mlhn
that the Emperor Gid not enter that cit.
until our hours after bis proclamation wa
issued. explanatory Of his action.
The feeling of hostility was. therefore
much subdued. and his reception. .althougl

altogether cold. The King went to NEE

soldiers before them, made the prihcipi
part of the demonstration. From the bal
comics and windows flags were waved
and here and there flowers were throw
down. but aside from these feminine dem
oHslrations. and the customary cheers {
the soldiers. the reception was neithe
brilliant nor enthusiastic. When th
ladies from the balcony Of French mill

into the carriage the Emperor smiled wit
an expression Of countenance which seem
