STATE OF FEELI.IG IN ITALY
The first angry discomfort of the Milanesc
on learning the proposal of an armistice
has been somewhat soothcd by reflection
and especially by the belief that the King
he's, declined entertaining the proposal un :
lessit he made made TO him in a direct and
proper manner. There was something Pc
.culiarly offensive to Italian feelings In the
way in which, so far as this country is con-
concerned, Austria set about obtaining q
respite from a war which at least ip Ger.
many, bas been terribly disastrous TO her.
To Prussia Vienna sends Field Marshal
Lieutenant, the gallant, chivalrous and un-
fortunate Gablenz: but with Italy she does
design TO communicate directly, and so,
ignoring this country aud government en-
tirely, she says to France, "Here is Vene-
tin, take it, ard do what you like with it,"
This may be intended rs part payment to
France for tho services Austria expects from
her, but Italy win know nothing of such
considerations, and she insists on being
treated as an equal. and not as the ward Of
the French Emperor.
