MILAN. October .. 1865.
Vcnetia is being transformed into sort OF
independent commune, or rather into a col
lection Of independent cammuDcs, prcpara-
tory to the p]ebiscite. This is the plan
which has been devised, nfter 4 deluge OF
dispatches from Vienna, Paris and Florence.
Tie Austrian Governors transfer the supreme
authority, in the respective cities where
They hive ruled, 10 the Mayors elected hy
the people, or appointed by the Governors.
The National Guurtls are armed, and take
the stands 10 tho streets and squares where
Austrian scntincls were wont to mount
guard, anu The soldiers retire into the forts.
by these changes the executive power Is
vested theoretically, If not practically, iu
the Venetian people, md the elections
will be ordered By the Mayors. It
Is possible, therefore. that some cities may
vo;c next Sunday, and others the Sunday
followinE-sunday being always election
day in Italy, md there being on the plan
adopted not one election by the Venetian
people. but separate elections by the several
comlnunes ofthe province. In result, it will
he one whole unit-but the distinction is
TN Important one, as 1t recognizes the prac-
iica1 independence Of each commune, and
ilatter6 traditional Italian pride in this
medieval form Of Of political existence.

aud the commune is represented in the
Chamber of Duputies By It's mcmber-ifit it be
large, BY two or three, ii It be small, it has
its fraction ofa deputy. Milan elects four.
Genoa three, and the country commuaes
arr assigned to Ecnctia, Of whom Venice
WILL elect three and Verona two.
1t is not yet announced that the plan
adopted Tor the coMmunes yet lit tue ntiwer

which The Italian Commissioners now
question Is still i'll dispute. Ricasoli wishes
bis commissioners to order the elections tn
IEcviso, Padua, Edine, and Royigo. But
Napoleon Is not pleased With That plan.
liz wislcs all that italy did in the way Of
War-making after the 5th Of July to be null
and yoid Or effect in law. TO save time
Ktcasoli may Yield, though he has SO tar been
very Determined about it. 1t is not n matter
oi much conseqtcnce now whether the
mayors torter clcctiot,s) or the commission
c's !; but having gaincsl all Lis other points
uur iren haron is disposed to have his own
way in this also. lie wishes the pleb1scit:
postponed until the a1st. when The Austtians
will be gone and the Italian troops qltartered
in every town. The French Intervention iu
the a1:atr will be confined to the transfer Of
the forts stifl held by the Aus.rians. In this
way. Italy has the satisfaction Of l,avins
really and elleciually captured Rovi5o,
Fad.in and Edirc.
The military material in the forts whicl,
ltaiy will keep, is not included In the treaty
made at Vienna. It fs the subject OF II spc
eial convention between the Austrians,
French and italian Generals, and tie price
which Italy pays Is not yet announced. It
will not be d cash transaction, but the gum
will he added to The Venetian debt. So that
a.l the glury anticipated at Paris on the fifth
Of July Is ut. last reduced TO the doubtful
homer ot insisting Mt the valuation OF some
old ca';noE and :nn c2rrisscs. The palaces
