MILAN, Nov. 21.
They are talking polities in Milan—opealy, in the
caps and the theatres. You may be ears, therefore
that the topic is something disgraceful to the Allied
Powers, and especially to Ragland. The Austrian
officers, with the morgue peculiar to them, snot about
as if a great victory had been won; and everybody
who is in a position to appreciate their sentiments
met be delighted that circumstances have sot forced
their master to make common muse with us. Dan-
gerous would be thb position of an army that had to
co-operate with each allies, animated by such feelings.
The subject of discourse is the arrest of Colonel
Tun, who, as the English public are by this time
fully aware, was sent, wearing the British uniform.
on a missies into a province oil Turkey sow mania
by the Amid= troops; was there recognised as hey-
, lag fiermarly sang in the Amain army; was sr.
rested by Amblers miffing ; bad the uniform, which he
supposed would prolog his, ton of his bask, and was
honied away with
_every eireametanee of indignity '
to a prison in the interior of the Austrian empire.
We have not yet bawd what has become of him '
since ; but se be was eaminaned to death in 1848, it '
is possible that he bee been shot or hasged.
Towards de beginning of this year, Colonel Calvi '
was arrested and hanged at Meatus. It is true he '
was act in the Rogliels service ; a but this is a mere '
detail," say the gentlemen here, " sad we know too '
well the position of England to fanny montane
from her. A terrible maple must and will be I
made." They even go so far as to pretend that we
must not only submit to see our officer mauled, but
that we must apologise to Austria for employing
him. It is not, however, this that makes an Rag-
Haman% blood boil. It is the cool confidence with '
which they predict that our government will affect '
to make reinoostraness, and then swallow the affront.
We are too weak and too highland, they ay, to do
more thaa blaster mildly.
There are man reasoas why Col. Tun should be '
especially ati for hatred by Austria. He played
a distinpielled part in the events of 1848-49, and
after the battle of Novara took refuge in Piedmont.
Those he soon became a favourite in nasty. Young,
Minnie, of gallant Waring and winning manners,
be was beloved by all who knew him. and naturally
left many enduring sentiments in that country. He
alwa remained warmly attached to the cause of
freedom,
and was ever ready to leave the elegant
circlet in which he was so seee to ea in any
arduous liberal undertaking that Mew.
In January, 1863, Measini in organising a
movement that was to break out at one in several
parts of Italy. In this city the *respirators, true to
their word, suddenly attacked the Austrian posts.
They bad no arms, not eves daggers, bat rushed oa
their enemies with sharpened nails .stook in *ON
of wood. As might have been expected, the move-
ment was put down, after many Austrian officers
bad been Irina ; but the alarm was so great
that: the gates were left open all night, and
most of the insurgeets sniped in sakty. A
corps of invasion bad been got ready by the
sake in Piedmont. Their plan was to seize on the
Austrian boats that =viva the Lego Maggiore, and
thinness over into LoniUrdy. The command was
entrasted to this very Colossi Tan, who was arrested
just as he was about to start. Thrown into a Pied-
maims poises he remained these some time ; bat at
length—chiefly, I believe, by the riumetrances of the
esergetie Inane Week—obtained his liberty, bat
was ordered to have the country. After wanderieg
in Switzerland, France, and England, he went out to
the East and entered our service. Of • course he
knew that lie must not enter Austrian dotniolons;
but being eland to preened to Wallachia to bay
horses, in which be is a great consonant, it Gould
never have occurred to him that the Austrians would
have the audacity to lay hands an him. He reckoned,
however, without German contempt of Ragland.
This in a serious question. &Wog aside the special
insane for a moment, the public should inert on
learning whether by any contract, secret or under-
stood, the Tirkish provisoes which Amnia undertook
to garrison, have been delivered over to that grasping
power. There has been groat talk of the dismember-
meat of the Ottoman Empire ; and we are spending
oar blood and treasure professedly to prevent its
taking plan Are we diamenibming it secretly P It
would be bad enough if we were to take the provinces
ourselves; bet to give them to a power that has not
struck a blow in the cause of justice, that on the
contrary bas done its beet to cripple and oppose oar
efforts, would be both wicked and cowardly ; yet the
Austrian authorities wise if Walachia formed a part
of the empire, sod Austrian officers state japed-
neatly at you it you elm to doubt U.
If we do not admit their monstrous pretension,
the arrest of Colonel Tarr—if maintained—is no
doubt a case of war. Whether it will be as considered
by our goversmeet is another wain. I have seen
it eteted lately that Frans is sot eceryte knew that
by our blonder* and wane! megy we are gradually
Wang all ascendancy, and are compelled to follow her
as an awkward ally. She will therefore, in that
coos, not incite as to act in a dignified manner. W.
are left to determine an our own warm of madam. I
If government fail in its duty, I nest the liberals of
England will sot; and that some meeting, at any
rate, will be held, as a proof that Germany men
overawe the sating mind, though it may torpify
Lord Clarendon and intimidate Lord Miamian.

some great event occur to divert attention. Austria
