MAZZINPS PROCLAMATION.

The following proclamation WilA posted all over
Milan, and has been spread in other parts of Italy :

ITALIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
"Italians! Brothers!—The mission of the National
Italian Committee is ended: your mission begins.
To-day the last word which we, your brothers, utter
to you is ' lusurrection; to-morrow, mingling with
the ranks of the people, we will aid you to main-
tain it.

" Insurrection ! Tho moment matured, panted for
for three long years, has arrived. Let us seize it.
Be not deceived by appearances; be not misled by
the cowardly sophistries of lukewarm men. The
entire surface of Europe, from Spain to our own
land, from Greece to holy Poland, is a volcanic crust,
beneath which sleeps a lava which will burst forth
in torrents at the upheaving of Italy. Four years
ago the insurrection of Sicily was followed by ten
huropean revolutions; twenty European revolutions
will follow yours—all bound by one compact, all
sworn to one fraternal aim. We have friends even
in the ranks of the armies who rule us: there are
entire peoples whose alarum-cry will answer to,
yours. The national democracies of Europe form
one organised camp. Vanguard of the great army of
the people, fear not isolation. The initiative of Italy
is the initiative of Europe.
" Insurrection ! Sacred as the thought of country
that consecrates it ; strong in will and in concen-
trated energy as its aim, which is justice, ameliora-
tion, and free fraternal life for all ; let it rise, and
convert martyrdom into victory. The thousands of
victims who have fallen with the sacred name of
Italy on their lips, deserve this at our hands. Be it
tremendous as the tempest on our seas. Be it ob-
stinate, immovable as the Alps which surround you.
Between the Alps and the extreme Sicilian sea aro
23 millions of us, and a hundred thousand foreigners.
It is the struggle of a moment if you do but will.
"Insurrection ! Let the grand word leap from
city to city, from town to town, from village to vil-
lage, like the electric current. Arouse, arise, awake
to the crusade fever, all ye who have Italian hearts
—ltalian arms.

"Remind the people of their unjust sufferings,
their rights denied them, their ancient power, and
the great future of liberty, prosperity, education, and
cquality—they may conquer at a bound.
" Remind your women of the mothers, the sisters,
the friends, who have perished in unconsolcd weep-
ing for their loved ones, imprisoned, exiled, butchered,
because they had not, but desired, a country.
"Remind your young minds of thought outraged
and restrained, of the great traditionary past of Italy
which they can continue only by action, of the abso-
lute nothingness of the:state they are now in—they
the descendants of the men who have twice given
civilisation to Earope.
" Remind the soldiers of Italy of the dishonour of
a servile uniform which the foreigners deride, of the
bones of their fathers left on the battle fields of
Europe for the honour of Italy, of the true glory
which crowns the warrior for right, for justice, for
nationality.
"Soldiers, women, youths, people! let us have for
the moment but one heart, one thought, one desire,
one cry in our souls, one cry on our We will
have a country; wo will have an Italy; and an Italy
shall be.'

"Attack, break at every point the long and weak
line of the enemy. Prevent them from concentrating
themselves by killing or dispersing their soldiers, de-
stroying roads and bridges. Disorganise them by
striking at their officers. Ceaselessly pursue fugi-
tives ; be at war to the knife. Make arms of the
tiles of your houses, of the stones of the streets. of
the tools of your trades, of the iron of-your crosses.
Spread the alarm by watchfires kindled on every
height. From one end of Italy to the other let the
alarm-bell of the people toll the death of the enemy.
"Wherever you are victorious, move forward at once
to the aid of those nearest you. Let the insurrection
grow like an avalanche wherever the chance goes
against you; run to the gorges, the mountains, the
fortresses given you by nature. Everywhere the
battle will have broken out ; everywhere you will
find brothers; and, strengthened byvictories the
gained elsewhere, you will descend into the field
again the day after. One only bo our flag—the flag
of the nation. In pledge of our fraternal unity,
write on it the words God and the People : they alone
are powerful to conquer, they alone do not betray.
It is the Republican flag which, in '4B and '49, saved
the honour of Italy ; it is the flag of ancient Venice ;
it is the flag of Rome—eternal Rome, the sacred me-
tropolis, the temple of Italy and of the world!
"Purify yourselves, fighting beneath that flag.
Let the Italian people arise, worthy of the God who
guides them! Let woman be sacred; let ago and
childhood be sacred; let property be sacred. Punish
the thief as an enemy. Use for insurrection the
arms, powder, and uniforms taken from the foreign
soldiery.
"To arms, to arms! Our last word is the battle-
cry. Let the men you have chosen to lead yon send
forth to Europe, on the morrow, the cry of victory.
(For the Italian Committee)

" February, 1833."

In addition to Mazzinis proclamation, the follow-
ing document, purporting to be from Kossuth, was
in circulation. It is evidently expected to tell upon
the Hungarians in the Austrian serv►ce in Italy :
"IN THE NAME OF THE HUNGARIAN

NATION.

""TO THE SOLDIERS QUARTERED IN ITALY.

"Soldiers! Comrades!—My activity is unlimited.
lam about to fulfil my intent. My intent is to free
my country—to make her independent, free, and
happy. It is not by force we have been crushed.
The force of the world would never have sufficed to
crush Hungary. Treason alone did it. I swear that
force shall not conquer us, nor treason injure us
again. Our war is the war of the liberty of the
world, and we are no longer alone.
" Not only the whole people of oar own country
will be with us, and those once adverse to us will
now combat with us the common enemy, but all the
peoples of Europe will arise and unite to wave the
banner of liberty. By the force of the peoples of the
world, the tottering power of the tyrants shall bo
destroyed.
" And this shall be the last war

" In this war no nation fraternises more with the
Hungarian
.than the Italian. Our interests are one—
our enemy is one—our struggle is one. Hungary is
the right wing, and Italy the left wing of the army
I lead. The victory will be common to both.
" Therefore, in the name of my nation have I
made alliance with the Italian nation: the moment
we raise the banner of the liberty of the world, let
the Italian soldier in Hungary unite with the in-
surgent Hungarian nation, and the Hungarian sol-
dier in Italy unite with insurgent Italy. Let all,
wheresoever the alarm shall first sound, combat
against the common enemy.
" Whose will not do this, he, the hireling of our
' country's executioner, shall nevermore see his native
land; he shall be for ever exiled as a traitor, as one
who has sold the blood of the parents and of his
country to the enemy.
" The moment of the insurrection is at hard ; let
not that moment find the Hungarian unprepared;
for should it take him unprepared—should our nation

not improve the opportunity—our dear country would
be lost for ever, and our national flag would be
covered with ignominy.
" I know that every Hungarian is ready for the
war of liberty. The blood shed by the martyrs, the
sufferings of the country, have changed even children
into heroes.

"No nation yet rewarded its brave sonssoliberally
as the Hungarian nation will reward here. After
the victory, the state property shall be distributed
among the army and the families of the victims of
patriotism ; but the coward and the traitor shall
die.

"And I, therefore, make it known to yon,'soldiers,
in the name of the nation, that whoever brings you
this order of mine is expressly sent to you, that he
may report to me who are the favourers of liberty in
the army stationed iu Italy, and that he may tell
you in my name how you should organise your-
selves.

"Accept the instructions that are forwarded to you
by the nation through me, and follow Until. Let it
be so in every town and district—everywhere.
"Brave ones! the Honveds and the hussars have
covered with glory the name of our nation. The
world looks on the Hungarian flag as on the banner
of liberty. We will preserve that glory, and satisfy
that expectation.
It is principally on you that the eyes of the world
are turned, for your number is great; hold the
arms in your bands, a generous blood boils in your
veins, your heart beats for your country, and for the
vengeance on her executioners. Your task is glorious
and easy, for you arc in the midst of a nation which
will give its own millions of combatants against
Austria.

" From Rome to the land of the Sicilians—from
the Sava to the country beyond the Rhine—all
the peoples unite in one cry, shouting, mid the clang
of millions of arms, Let God be the judge; down
with the tyrants: long live the liberty of the
peoples—long live our country.'
"Bravo ones, in this cry your voice will be like
Joshua's voice, before which the Jericho of tyrants
shall fall.

" So I order, in the name of the nation—Let every
one obey. I will shortly be amongst you. Au revoir.
God be with you.
" February, 1833." " KOSSUTH.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The telegraphic despatches published in this morn-
ing's Moniteur, announcing an insurrection in Milan,
were dated Bel!linens, Feb. 8, 4.30 p.m., and Bile,
8 p.m.
Private letters from Milan mention that for some
days past rumours had been in circulation of the
death of the Emperor of the French, and that the
public mind had been so excited in consequence as
to cause a formal contradiction to be published by
the:authorities. The agitation and excitement appear,
however, to have continued until the breaking out
of the attempt mentioned in the telegraphic despatch.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received a
second telegraphic despatch from the Minister of
France in Piedmont, stating that the attempted in-
surrection at Milan has been entirely suppressed,
and that Turin and Piedmont are "restored to com-
plete tranquillity.
On inquiry at the post-office here, I find that the
mail-bags due from Milan have not arrived. Accord-
ing to rumours current in Paris, news of a simulta-
neous rising in many parts of Austrian Italy may be
expected.
It was stated on the Bourse to-day that orders had
been sent to Toulon to embark two regiments for
Civita Vecchia, in order to insure tranquillity in the
1 Roman States.

The Pattie gives the following account of the ar-
rest of General de Saint Priest:
The Asumblie Nationale this morning gives an incor-
rect account of the west and liberation of General de St.
Priest. The truth is as follows :—A warrant to search for
papus was issued against Id. Charles do Saint Priest,
the son of the general, who lives with his father. M. Charles
de St. Priest is accused of having been in communication
with divers persons who have been arrested for sending false
news, and outrageously calumnious correspondence 'abroad.
The commissary of police charged to make the perquisi-
tion thought it necessary to arrest the accused.
General de Saint Priest, desiring to screen his
son, and fearing doubtless on hie son's account, the conse-
quences of the search, declared himself to be the person
mentioned in the warrant, and allowed himself to be con-
veyed to Masas. As soon as the truth was known General
de Stßriest,who speaks highly of the politeness shown him,
was set at liberty.
There is nothing official in this version, and it does
not meet a ith implicit ercilit. lbellcgistimistjour-
nals do not confirm the story, that there was any
mistake at all. The statement that the commissary
of police charged to search for papers made the arrest
upon his own responsibility before making his search
is wholly incredible. Neither is it easy to believe
that a man so well known as Gen. do St. Priest could
have remained for 12 hours in prison without the truth
being known. The commissaries of police are men
of more than ordinary intelligence. If the instruc-
tions had been to arrest M. Charles de Saint I'riest
only, he must have been described to the commissary
as the son of the general, and it is scarcely possible to
conceive that an elderly man, bearing the military
stamp of General St. Priest, could have been taken to
prison by mistake. Yon will observe that the note in
the Patric insinuates a charge against the general
personally, by assuming that he had reason to dread
the result of a search of his son's papers. In refer-
ence to this insinuation the Union says:
The Petrie attributes motives for the conduct of Gen
de Saint Priest which we cannot admit, and we therefore
refrain from publishing the teat of this note.
M. Theodore Pelloquet, formerly a writer in the
National, is one of the prisoners. The Siecle says
that since December, 1851, he has addicted himself
to literary
i pursuits, and has taken no part in poli-
tics. It s, I believe, certain that when the govern-
ment papers say the persons arrested are only 10
in number, they must be understood as referring
to those yet in prison. The Debate says as many as
40 were arrested. At all events, the persons set:at
liberty since Sunday arc not comprised in the 16. It is
some satisfaction to be assured, as we now are, that
the prisoners will be publicly tried in a court of
justice.
A legitimist journal of Marseilles, 'the Gazette du
3lidi, has received a warning from the Prefect of the
Bonches-du-lthone, countersigned by M. do Maupas,
for having published a version of the speech in which
the Emperor announced to a cabinet council his in-
tention to marry Mdlle. de Montijo.
Mdme. Bianchi, the wife of the ex-editor of the
Messayer du Nord ; lately arrested for attempting to
introduce into France some copies of Colonel Char-
ras's proclamation to the army, and several prohi-
bited political pamphlets, was tried for this offence
by the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Lille on the
ith, and sentenced to six days' imprisonment and a
fine of 500 fr.

With all due respect for the Moniteur, I cannot
avoid recording the general belief that a ministerial
modification is yet impending. Count Walewski,
whose departure for London was announced two or
three days ago, as a proof that ho was not going to
replace M. Dronyn de l'Huys, is still in Paris,detained
by one of those convenient " indispositions" to
which public men are often subject.
By an imperial decree, dated the sth, the following
admirals have, on their application, been called from
the retired list, and placed on the second section of
the staff: Vice-Admiral Baron Ilugon; Rear-Admiral
de Martineng ; Rear-Admiral De Hello; Rear-Ad:
miml 141engin du Val d'Ailly, and Honorary Rear-
Admiral Bouvet.

The Marquis de Valdegamas, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of the Queen of Spain,
had a private audience yesterday of the Emperor, at
which he presented his credentials as envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of
the Duke of Parma. The audience took
place with the accustomed ceremonial. The
Marquis de Villamarina, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Sardi-
nia, yesterday presented to the Emperor the reply of
his sovereign to the letters of his Imperial Majesty,
confirming M. His do liutenval in his quality of En-
voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at
Turin.

_
On Sunday last a grand fete was given at Amiens
to celebrate the imperial marriage. A Te Ileum was
sung in the cathedral, at which all the civil and mili-
tary authorities of the place were pros:mt. In the
evening there was a grand illumination, and an en-
tertaiatncut was given by the national guard and
the army, which was numerously attended. The room
in which the company assembled was elegantly
fitted up. Busts of the Emperor and Empress occu-

pied a prominent place, and on medallions which were
hung around were the following inscriptions : "En
mutant son bonhenr, it assure celui de la France ; "
" Eugenie fora revivre les vertu de Josephine ; "
" 1802, Paix d'Amiens ;" " 1852, l'Empire, c'cst la
Paix ; " Vivo l'Empereur ! Vive l'lmperatrice !"
Several provincial journals, and amongst others
those of Bordeaux and Nantes, announce that the
1 Transatlantic Packet•boat Commission has made its
report to the Emperor, and that the conclusion come
to is one wholly unexpected. According to these
journals there will be no exclusive concentration
of the transatlantic packets either at Cherbourg or
elsewhere. The New York line, they say, will be
granted to Havre, that of Chagres to Bordeaux, and
that of the Brazils to Nantes, with a station
at Lisbon. I have hcard nothing in Paris
to confirm this news; and, considering that the Bor-
deaux and Nantes people are interested, or at least
prejudiced, witnesses, the statement must, of course, I
be received with caution.
