EFFECTS OF SUWARROW’S VICTORIES 
ON ITALIAN LITERATURE. 
Extraied from a Litter of a Traveller, dated 
Venice, 20th Sept. 1799- 
MORE fudden revolution of Italian 
literature than that which took place 
before and after the arrival and victories of 
SuWARROW, you hardly can imagine. 
' In Turin I vifited, during the French epoch, 
all the book{ellers’ fhops, and in none could 
I find-any new publications except fuch 
as_related to the Gallo-Italian revolution- 
ary fyftem. Among others the fhop of a 
certain Bofchi was full of Regifters of the 
crimes of emperors, kings, popes and Ita- 
iian princes; and therefore Suwarrow, with- 
eut the tedious formalities ofa trial, quick- 
ly paffed fentence on him, ordering Baren 
Latour to confifcate his whole ftock. The 
printing-offices { /famperie| all aflumed the 
furname patriotic; and the Legg? relative 
alla Coftituxione Francefe lay tor fale on 
the counters of Ferrero, Pomba, Rame- 
Jetti, Pane, Barberis, in fhort, of all the 
book(ellers, at the low price of 20 S.S. 
and in the French language the Inffrudfions 
militaires fimples et faciles pour apprendre 
Lexercice en peu de temps, a Vufage des 
Guardes Nationales, were pubhifhed by 
Benfa and Cerefola, for the inftruction of 
the Piedmontefe. But heavens! what a 
metamorphofis on the appearance of the 
Ruffian vior. Every prefs teemed with 
wnaledictions againft the French army, and 
hymns in praife of the Ruflo-Auttrian de- 
liverers. OF the former the (Arriaga) alii 
Soldati Francefi, the Eccttamento dun Te- 
defcoat Soldati France (in Italian and 
French) and the Call 4l/a Italia: colle Epi. 
grafe: Patientia lafa fit furor, may ferve 
tor Specimens. More fatirical were the 
produétions of the prefs at Milan. The 
Tefiamento della fu Repubblica Cifalpina ; 
‘the Relazione ex officio della malattia e morte 
della fu Repubblica Cifalpina, [pedita—al 
Effeéts of Suwarrow’s Vigtories. 
_ [March f, 
Divettorio Francefe dal Medico della De 
funta; the Sentimenti di un Suddito Auftri- 
aco nella occafione dell’ anniverfario del dé 
17 Aprile; belong to this clafs. Nor were 
there wanting religious Rifleffioni, among 
which the Moderna Democrazia {chmafche- 
rata, offia Parallello fra lo ftato democra= 
tico, elo ftato monarchico, publifhed at Tus 
rin by Matteo Guaita, maintained the 
foremoft rank. To the Aiforical clafs bes 
longs a book publifhed at Milan by Pog- 
hani and Co. intitled I Franceft in Lombar- 
dia, in 8vo. in which are enumerated all 
the calamities which the French have 
brought upon Italy fince the year 1495.— 
Since this political metamorphofis of Italy, 
fuch works are moft faleable as furnith 
fragments of the hiftory of the war, writ- 
ten partially in favour of the Coalition.— 
The Efata narrazione del Fermento popo- 
lare che l Ambafctata Francefe a occafionata 
col efpofitixione di una Bandiera tricolore nel 
di 13 Aprile 1798 in Vienna, was reprinted 
in Milan and Modena, after the edition of 
the Stamperia governiale at Trieft. “Even 
the f{ummons {ent to the commandant of 
:Philipfburg by General Bernadotte was 
amply commented on in a pamphlet which 
appeared at Trieft under the title Riflefi- 
ont fulla intimaxione della Refa della Fortefia 
imperiale di. Philips-bourg fatta dal Fran- 
cefe Generale Bernadotte al Ringravio de 
Salm, Commandante della medefima. It 
being now the fafhion to publifh fuch de- 
tails, you will be lefs furprifed to learn 
that the Corri/pondenza dell? Armata 
Francefe intercettata dalla Squadra de Nel- 
fox, was at Milan tranflated from the Eng~ 
lif. The literary novelties during my 
ftay at Florence, Pifa, Livorno, and Siena, 
were already fo exclufively of a politico- 
monarchical tendency, that even at the 
latter places I could find nothing new of 
any note, in the other departments of 
{cience, except a Viaggio in Grecia di Sa- 
werio Scrofani Siciliano, fatto nell anna 
1794. € 1795, in three volumes 8yo. Of 
the change of the newfpapers too from one 
extreme, to the other during the above-men- 
tioned two epochs, you can ftill lefs form 
any idea. Inftead of the Monitor? of 
Rome, Florence, Milan, Turin, &c. the 
Vienna Court-gazettes Extraordinary are 
tranflated under the title Zz fatt: d Armi, 
dal? incominciamenta di quefia Campagne. 
in poi, fidelifimamento tradott: dagl Origi- 
nali Tedejchi. Only a few, as for example 
the Corriere Milanefe, and the Gazzetta 
Univerjale of Florence, were permitted te 
be continued without interruption, having 
undergone however a metamorphofis in. 
their outfide appearance. Of the new 
journals which have ftarted into exiftence
