rink of her fall, was totally excluded. The list of those whose banishment from Lombardy was confirmed, comprises the noblest names in the province; with the exception of a few who were excluded from the amnesty on the score that, before the revolution, they were Austrian functionaries, nearly every unpardoned Lombard was noble: Casati, Arese, Borromeo, Litta, Greppi, Pallavicini, and the Princess Cristina Belgiojoso of Milan, the two Camozzis of Bergamo, and G. Martinengo Cesaresco of Brescia. It must not be imagined that this amnesty ushered in a reign of oblivion and mildness. It seemed, rather, that Austria, afraid of the moral consequences of the return of so many unloving subjects, redoubled her severity. The day following the promulgation of the amnesty was the 18th of August, the Emperor of Austria's birthday. In the morning, placards dissuading the citizens from taking part in the official rejoicings were to be seen on the walls of Milan. The persons who put these up were not caught, but in the course of the day a crowd, consisting of all classes, made what the official report called 'a scandalous and anti-politic demonstration,' raising revolutionary cries, and even saying uncomplimentary things of His Majesty, and worse still, of the Austrian soldiers.

Angelo Negroni, of Padua, aged thirty, proprietor, forty strokes; 2. Carlo Bossi, watchmaker, aged twenty-two, forty strokes; 3. Paolo Lodi, of Monza, student, aged twenty-one, thirty strokes; 4. Giovanni Mazzuchetti, Milanese, barrister, aged twenty-four, thirty strokes; 5. Bonnetti, Milanese, lithographer, aged thirty-one, fifty strokes; 6. Moretti, Milanese, domestic servant, aged twenty-six, fifty strokes; 7. Cesana, artist, aged thirty-two, forty strokes; 8. Scotti, shopkeeper, of Monza, fifty strokes; 9. Vigorelli, Milanese, proprietor, fifty strokes; 10. Garavaglia, of Novara, aged thirty-nine, thirty strokes; 11. Giuseppe Tandea, Milanese, aged forty, twenty-five strokes; 12. Rossi, Milanese, student, thirty strokes; 13. Carabelli, workman, forty strokes; 14. Giuseppe Berlusconi, fifty
