to see Count Frederic Thun, the civil Viceroy of Lombardy and Venice, as Radetzky is the military; neither having the title, but all the power. . . . . In Milan I found friends old and new, and occupation enough for the five days we stopped there. And then such a journey as we had for seven days to Florence; not a cloud in the sky, so to speak; no wind, no heat, no cold, no dust; the carriage always open, and breathing and living a pleasure in such an atmosphere. We paused at Piacenza, Pavia, Modena, and Bologna, so that the ladies could see everything they wanted to see, and drove down into Florence on the 2d of November through hedge-rows of myrtle and roses. There we stopped thirteen days. I had a good deal to do for the Library, in establishing a permanent agency, and ordering the purchase of books. But I went to see the old things that most interested me, in my three previous visits, and look forward to my fifth next spring, with added pleasure and interest. Society is

he gave to France some claim to an extensive territory, on the pretext of discovery. Chalmers's Annals, 512. Harris's Voyages, II. 348,349. The historians of maritime adventure agree, that 1525 Verrazzani again embarked upon an expedition, from which, it is usually added, he never returned. Did he Chap. I.} 1525 Feb. 24. sail once more under the auspices of France? Charlevoix, Nouv. Fr. i. 7, 8. When the monarch had just lost every thing but honor in the disastrous battle of Pavia, is it probable, that the impoverished government could have sent forth another expedition? Did he relinquish the service of France for that of England? It is hardly a safe conjecture, 1527 that he was murdered in an encounter with savages, while on a voyage of discovery, which Henry VIII. had favored. Memoir of S. Cabot, 271—276. Hakluyt asserts, that Verrazzani was thrice on the coast of America, and that he gave a map of it to the English monarch. Hakl. Divers Voyages, 1582, quo

ver, brain fever, dropsy, and lastly gout; and for all these diseases they could think of nothing but their own sovereign remedy, the lances. I think these excellent practitioners are worth to send down their names to posterity. They were, Dr. Rosei, Dr. Mattoni, and, towards the end, the king's physician, Riberi, the same in whose hands the mother, wife and brother of Victor Emantiel expired, one by one, in the early months of the fatal year of 1855. Dr. Tommasi, who was summoned from Pavia by Cavour's friends, was not admitted to consultation. The excitement of the Turin population, when they became aware of the Prime Minister's danger, rose to almost a frantic pitch. The whole day yesterday, and more especially towards evening, till late in the night, the gateway and courtyard of the Cavour Palace, the street, and all the adjoining avenues, were strongly beset with eager faces, eager and silent, hardly imparting their fears to each other under a whisper. Had death been a v

uld rejoice in the occurrence of such a war, that they might vindicate their own rights and the principles of liberty. The people of Canada, the people of Ireland, the French nation, the lovers of liberty even in England, would sympathize with us. Let England make this war, and his word for it, it would be the beginning of her downfall. This country would come safely out of such a contest; but even if it should be disastrous, we would yet save our honor. Francis I, after the battle of Pavia, wrote back, "We have lost all but honor." That honor which he had saved was the foundation of the future glory of France. So would it be with us. If we saved our honor we could lose all else, and rise again in power and glory. It the war must come, let it come, and let us thank God that he had made us instruments in His hands to work out His own cause. Mr. Hale now said he would withdraw his resolution; but Mr. Sumner (who is chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs) desired

news by the steamer Bremen, which arrived at New York on Tuesday inst: From Italy. [Correspondence of the London Times] Town, April 12th.--Garibald it pursues his triumphal march throughout Northern Italy, and the enthusiasm his presence excites gives onward signs of a bating. From he traveled to Copal-Maggiore, on the Poe, and thence visited. from Cremon; he again crossed that river, and followed the line of the Æ Aston Railway as far as Stranells, where no again crossed over to Pavia. From this letter city he will again appear at Milan, and thence proceed to Bargains and and probably to on the Lake of Gorda, where he will be in front of the Austrians forces the borders at Poschiera. Already the Austrian garrison along the shore of the lake have caught the alarm, and are everywhere on the watch. The ever of excitement aroused by the hero wherever he shows himself, exceeds the description. At Cremona Garibaldi was on the most friendly terms with the priests
