The Italians

“Malakoff,” the able Italian eorre£<p o ndent of the Nev. York Times, writing from Milan, after describing the coldness with whiefi Lewis Napoleon Emanuel were received on their return from the Mincio, says the feeling of dissatisfaction and discontent, regarding the peace treaty, are quite general. “Rely upon it,” he writes “that the hearts of the people of Italy are more deeply wounded to-day than they were under the Austrian oppression.l They look forward to worse trials and deeper complications than those that have gone before. They had hoped at last to unite in on ■ kingdom with a constitutional government for the heretofore divided sections, and thus to constitute a nation strong enough to protect for the future their own indeptuidence. Now they see themselves again divided, and what is worse, the Pope, whom they detest, invested with ijnerensed power over them. They see nothing before them but internal dissensions, oppression, war and blood-shed, and the heart-of Italy, healed for a day by the generous aid of the French army, bleeds afresh more free than ever.”
