AFFAIRS IN ITALY.

PARIS, MAY 6, 1814.

The only blood which has been shed in effecting the restoration of the Bourbons has flowed in Italy. As soon as the news of the entrance of the allies into Paris reached Milan, the office-holders and partisans of Eugene Beauharnais the Viceroy made an attempt to proclaim him for their king, and to establish a new independent government. It appears by a Proclamation of his, addressed to the French army, on the 17th April, that he accepted the invitation. His words are "A good, faithful and generous people claim-the remainder of an existence which has been consecrated to their service for nearly ten years. I cannot pretend to dispose of myself as long as I may be conducive to their happiness, which has been, and always shall be, the chief object of my existence." It seems, that the Viceroy, like his step father, was grossly deceived as to the sentiments of the people of Italy, towards them. For in ten days after the date of this notice, he had to fly for his life from this same extolled people. His appointment was opposed by the people, who insisted that a provisional government should be established, until the arrangements for a general Peace should be made. The Viceroy's partisans were immediately attacked, and overpowered, and M. de Prina, Bonaparte's Minister of Finance, and his chief instrument of oppression, was put to death in the most cruel manner. The Prince fled to Mantua, and from thence to Munich, and arrived at Paris on the 9th May. The Senate House was sacked by the mob; and the other agents of the tyrant saved their lives by a speedy flight. " Oppression will make even wise men mad."

When the Prince Viceroy left Mantua he issued the following pathetic and eloquent address :

People of Italy !

During nine years my life has been consecrated to you. For these nine years there has not been a moment of that life which has not been employed at home for your welfare; abroad for your defence. I have found the reward of my labors in your hearts, and also in mine. I have received honorable testimonies from you. History has collected them, in order that after having enjoyed them myself with delight, they may be a legacy to my children. " Yes, I have felt all the gratification which arises from the gratitude and affection of a people, joined to the testimony of a conscience without reproach.

After long proofs of my attachment and love. I had given you the most signal proof of confidence; I had resolved to separate myself from my natural friends, to remain only among the friends of my choice. But new political arrangements compel me to leave you, and render uncertain the accomplishment of the wishes which I might be allowed to suffer to escape me once, since you have manifested them a thousand times.

People of the kingdom--Wherever Providence may place me, the current of my affections cannot change. Long the first object of my wishes has only been your felicity : Italians! be then happy. You may become foreign to me, but never objects of indifference. However, in order to enjoy unmixed the recollection of the time I have lived among you, I banish the remembrance of the circumstances in which I shall have quitted you.

And you, brave Italian army, soldiers whose names, countenances,, whose wounds and services I shall ever bear engraved on my heart; those wounds received under my eyes, those services for which I have procured you just rewards; probably you will never see me again at your head and in your ranks; probably I shall never again hear your acclamations. But should your country ever again summon you to arms, sure I am, brave soldiers, you would still love, in the face of danger, to recall to memory the name of Eugene.

The Prince EUGENE.
