MISCELLANY. TiiE INUNDATION. The road from Alessandria to Plais ance passes through sorno of the -most delightlul scenery is poKsmie to imag ine. , Trees, gardens, corn-fields, ine yards rich with purple grapes, green val itys covered with ' luxuriant foilage, mjow-white cottages ffeeping out from 'the clusteiine trees, moss-grown paling. and silver streams. o:j the margin of which the reeds spring up and the wa ter-fowl-find homes. All these things together present at every turh the most charming prospects to the eye tf the traveller; and whether seen at early dawn, at broad noon-day, or set of sun, are delishtfullv picturesque and lull bf romantic beauty. : ' " It was the spring time of the yan The fields, the garden, the forest, aud the vineyards were lull of. promise. t Every leaf and bud and openiDg flower indicated the approach of summer, and there was a serenity and beauty over everything that made the hnrffble vil lage, wiih its quaint old cottages, its winding street, its simple church, and brotherhood of aged trees that girdled it about, a most delightful place. It was a pleasant thing to stand brnralh the lreiHsed avenue that led to the door ot Francesco's dwelling, as it commanded & view of the whole village, being built on the rising ground ol the hill. It was a beautiful prospect Theie the load, that led to the mountains J there the Mvide stretching fields J hcie the stream that, flowing down the hills, looked like a silver rib! on from afarj but deepened and widened as ft came alougj tabling as it came. Standing beneath the porch looking about him as the day declined, was Fancesco; himself, ' a handsome, vell-made fellow ; the rays of the set ting sun were gilding the coming night with their departing glory. As Frances co tegaided the prospect before , him, it seemed to him as ifthe mountain stream was wider than of yore as if; it tossed and tuinMed as it came with more than wonted vigor as if the murmur of the water increased in loudness; but he thought nothing of it. Amid the varied time clouds, that like Mime foil) -land stretched in red and gold and purple, the su:i sank down and twilight deep ened into night. , - That niglit a storm came on: Rain fell in torrents ; the thunder awakened the simple villagers with it awful nni sic ; and by the broad glare of the light ning tney saw me mountain sueam no longer like a silver rihljon, tut a heet of water, pouring down nt-oii them, sweeping over fields, vineyards, ' and. gaidens, and,, threatening ju its impct t:ons course to..'lf:stioyeyi,rylhiijg bo fore it, This misiht ue'pxpfcted. -HrHV y rains hud' fallen dining the winU-i,-the snows had blocked upthe mouutain j asses, and danger had been apprehen ded. Thai-apprHirusioii . was r a'is rd. Ti e gieati.-si ahtrm pir.vailed peo ple fled iu every diuctiou. Thewaieis were rapidly rising. Francesco, with his mother, his wife and children, - aitempl td to escape;--. Their puij was great. The mother of Francesco was old and infirm, titteily unable to help; herself; he had to bear her in his arms as he lied. His wife Jechher eldest son by the hand, and bore tier infant in its cradle on her head. In such a ten ible scene as that which presented iiselffo them they sought help in vain. Every lie of friendship seemed to be broken every one sought their own safety,, and .wait ed not to render help to others J and the tempest stjfl raged, and the higher and higher the waters rose plunging and roaring aud casting showers of spray o ver every obstacle if eneottnf red j bear ing away on its rofffed surface many' a; household treasure. Francesco and his family pushed bravely on towards - the little bridge which .stemmed fhe slream. Judge of their dispair, when they found it a mere wreck -when. as well as the light would let them, they noticed its Old titnlets tossed to and fro on the troubled water, and a remnant of the structure still remaining- Terehes flitting; here and there added to the wildiiess of the prospect ; the darkness which covered everything was at intervals broken by the broad glare of the lightning, the deaf cning ronr of the waters, and the peaU i:ig thunder, making stout hearts quake. Help! Help!' The rising waters threateu the speedy destruction of the little group who have found a refuge on " the hiidge. There seems no help, and they look despairing ly in one another's faces. They must peiish; tlie strong asaut might -swim, but his wife, his children, his paralysed mother make the sturdy roan stand by Ihomia life or in death. Suddenly they hear the splash ol an oar.' ' KJonrage J coinage!', ciies.a -voice; 'help is at hand Jt""-'..i. 'Alas! no, muimurihe liitle group; we are surely lost ; theie is no' way of escape.' . Courage! courage T cries i again; 'God is merciful ; keep still bold fast by llie bridge!' -k "-,; A broad flash of lightning shed its fit ful lustre over the scene of desolation. The group on the broken fragment of te bridge saw it nil ; the wide waste of water ; the roofs of cottages; the up per branches of tho trees j the high moun tains with their caps of snow ; .more than this they: beheld a boat tossed by. the struggling waters, but guided by a urong man, who seemed a stiaDHerto all f r. The rest is soon told, their de liverer havim? placed the rartv in his boat, guided his craft with consummate skill; brought then to a place of safety and then without a wbrd. orsign. or to ken of lecogtiitibiij without declaring hi name or asking theirs he left them. . "Many years after this poor family had been so miraculously saved aud restored to their cottage, a stranger was aniioiinc ed, who, journeying bti that road, beg ged; their hospitality. It was evening when the sti anger enteied, and, without taking on his' Spanish cloak, which hall concealed his features, he took his . seal bv ihe fire side in silence. A table was soon spread with rustic dainties, but the euest only 1 accepted' a glass of water, aud seemed ibsorbed in melancholy re flection. There was two or. three friends at the. peasant's' house that night. and they , regarded with astonishment the new comer; st solemn, so mystrn- ons, and yet withal so kind and genii' in his wav. TheV whispered among themselves, and suggested half-a dozen romantic solutions to this most knotty problem ; but unmoved and in silence ih Rirnnirer still sat. shrouded iii his Spanish cloak and gazing ; into the fire Piesetit y he turned aud asked the name ol the village. Marengo, eccellenzo,' replied the pea sant with profound oheisance. Maiener ! Marengo o cruel chance ! Tlws stranger said this more to himself than to his host, and then demanded wiir-ther it was not tlte locality of the famous battle of the 21th of June, 1800 - rIM.a a-.it via. unrollen7A ' - It was a gltuiously well-fought fight! va lantlv maintained on uota siues a plnrioiis fiehl I You may sat that twice gained, twice lost ; the Adstrians, who were the conquerors for three hotiir, were in six hours more in tun nigni. rtrave French !' said the straneei 'it was a noble triumph - A magnificent dav. eccellenzo, but one of frightful Carnage.' j r You were there ' 'I served under the tri colour flag.' And you have not foigotten the bat tle?

And the French head quarters were removed to Voghera, and took up a position a -round Toriona to blwkade it by divi sion. Eccellenzo knows well enough that if the' AKSt iuir commander was don ti ful as to what line of conduct he ought to pursue, this was his time to de tciiniue As long as he held Genoa, he had a meg us of escape. For Genoa the French fought from a full knowledge of its value. ' I he little corporal nasienea to derive all the advantage he could from the urgency ol the Austrian, which was wise enough in him, as your eccel lenzo knows ; so he irdered the banks of the Po to be guarded, and the passes between Piedmon and Genoa to be gajji ed.' - ' . Your memory serves you well.' A soldier's memoiy serves him well, eccellenzo the lessons of the battle-field are not easily forgotten. But to pro ceed. On the 14th of June the great battle took place General Biona parte had beeu over the gromid-, his grey coat and cocked 1 hat had been seen at all parts of the field, and his voice has in structed the engineers and gi veti cour age to the soldiers : Early in the morn ing the cannon. poured . forth their rough salute, aud at H we went. It was a terrible struggle f the Affstrktns were in great force, and after a long and well contested engagement we had to fly. But we fled . wrtb honor - Bonaparte cheered us, and a woid from him was better thau a jewel. . The brave giana diers fought nobly f three tknes they re turned to the charge, and three times were thty routed by the enemy's caval ry ; balls ploughed up the ground" and fell as thick as snow flakes on a wintry day ; but those' brave gTanadiers were undaunted they were not soldiers, ec-c-iJeuzo, they were lions!

As 1 struggled against these unequal odds, up came an Italian tro-ip with Charles 'Albert at their head. it turned the fortune of the fight, it saved my life.

The king ! The king P they cried. Stop,' he said; 'no longer call me by that name. I am an uncrowned king: days of royalty with me are over.' ; 1 he pea sa tits knelt and kissed his hand. ..... . Things are indeed changed since that first meeeting,' Francesco said. "A y,' and since our second ! How so. sire?

" Surely 1 shall never fail to remember him.' , - . 'I am that man ! dear me still in affectionate remembrance, and in all my wanderings let me cheer myself with this one thought, that there is a family in Piedmont to whom I have rendered help and who are grateful for it !' W ith this he took a kind farewell of the group, wended his way from the vil lage, and they saw him no more. It will be recollected that in s 181? Charles Albert, ihe king of Sardinia, put himself at the tread of the move ment in Italy for Austrian" expulsion. f His enoris met with total defeat . at trie buttle of Novaro, and he abdicated in fa vor of his sou Yictor Emmanuel. : This monarch immediately concluded a trea ty with the 'Atisfjiaus and reimbursed them on account of the expenses . of the war.'
