ANIMATED PICTURE
Of the present State of ITALY.

From the Vienna Court Gazette.

"The same instruments and means which the Gallic revolutionists have employed to render universal their domination and revolutionary system, have brought about their own perdition; they called nations to combat, and armed them;--and nations, whose plain common sense would not be deluded long with chimeras, turned those very arms against the lighted torch, and stormed and expelled those modern fanatics; the Tyrolian masses the insurgents in Switzerland, Naples, Milan, Piedmont, all Italy, the armed peasants of the forest of Odenwald, and other inhabitants of Germany, helped to accelerate the rapid progress of the Austrian Russian troops: in all countries in Holland, Belgium, nay France itself, insurrection only waits for the moment to put an end to the sway of the butchers of the nation just as it has happened in Italy.

"Italy has always been the grave of the sanguinary and rapacious Franks; and even in the present instance, the history of a few months proves that a government, founded on such principles, works its own undoing.

"Cisalpine is no more! there are scarce any remnant left of that republican catastrophe, except a handful of audacious Lombards, who, while the French lately attempted to advance again, instead of rendering themselves worthy of the amnesty of the generous father of their nation, showed him the blackness of their character, that they might fall the quicker into the hands of avenging justice, to tranquilize all the good citizens.

"The French are driven from the capital of Piedmont; one strong hold is falling after another, and the enemy's army has actually been pushed back to the Riviera of Genoa, whence it came, to overwhelm the quiet people of Italy with murder, fire and rapine. This state, which France herself considers as a bulwark, on account of its site, and deemed it invincible, has been rescued from the yoke of Pantarchy; and the troops of the great republic, who had shortly before banished the King, can only save their lives from the effects of a general popular resentment, by capitulations.

"Genoa keeps all her avenues shut from the revolutionary blood-suckers; and even the remains of Macdonald's fugitive army seem no longer to be able to gain safety from that quarter. The people of Genoa all laugh at French declarations, professions and menaces.

"The Duchy of Mantua, save its capital, * is saved from the French revolutionary devils; its garrison only holds out the siege to increase the misery of the inhabitants, and to be themselves able to consume the booty amassed, as there remains no more for them.

"No sooner had the French revolutionary cannibals forced the beneficent Ferdinand, that father of his people, to quit his happy country, than the chastisement for perfidy and robbery pursued them closely; and to their own disgrace, they were compelled to crave, like beggars, their retreat out of this unhappy state.

"The Roman republic was crushed by its own burden, after the French left it. The people, sensible of the chimera of liberty, yield themselves up at present, being without their lawful chief, to the anarchy and vengeance of its deceivers.

"Parthenope too is no more; the last hope of that republic struck sooner than she herself expected. The French, to prevent being massacred by the enraged populace, were obliged to evacuate all the strong holds, and the whole kingdom, after the brave Calabrians, united with the rest of the king's faithful adherents in Apulia, and other provinces, advanced, under the command of the glorious Cardinal Ruffo, to Naples, and took possession of it.

"Thus almost at the first great blow which the Austrian hero Kray struck against the French, on the banks of the Adige, all Italy, from the Helvetic Alps to Mount Vesuvius, recovered her religion, her good princes and former constitution. The name of a Frenchman is every where, in those countries, branded with infamy; and the Italians themselves begin now to be more than ever convinced of the truth of Machiavel's motto:

"Whatever a Frenchman does, has no duration."
