MONTENEGRO.

A private correspondent addresses to us the follow-
ing letter. Although it brings no news later than
that of the Custozza boat, it is valuable as coming
from an independent source :
" TRIESTE, FRB. 6.
" The latest news from Montenegro, which reached
this place on the 4th instant by the steamer of
Dalmatia, is very favourable for the Turks. Omer
Pacha, after having subdued many districts, of which
the principal are Berda, Moratshka, Kutshi, Bielo-
pavlovitz, &c., has so far advanced that at present
he is encamped at a distance of four hours from
Cettinge, the capital of Montenegro. In order to
avoid as much as possible the spilling of blood,
Omer Pacha has summoned the rebels to surrender,
and granted them eight days. We have as yet no
intelligence as to the result of General Leiningen's
mission.

The Lespzte Gazette states that, under date Vienna,
Feb. 4, "The preparations made by the Austrian
government to cover the Turkish frontier are on a
most extensive scale. It is even said that the Em-
peror will leave for Agram. The court has received
orders to hold itself in readiness for departure."
The Neese Prussian Gazette says:—" The arma-
ments of Austria prove that she is resolved to treat
the affair seriously. The corps d'armili of the Ban
Jellachich will not con. ist of 18,000 but of 40,000,
without reckoning the troops under General Mamula.
At Vienna and St. Petersburg it is resolved to main-
tain the independence of 'Montenegro. Thus, should
the 'l' irks occupy the country, their possession of it
would bo but temporary."

THE INSURRECTION AT MILAN.

The latest private advice, state that on Wednesday
Milan had been restored to tranquility, but that in-
surrection had manifested itself in other places.
Austrian troops are stated to have been marched
towards the Swiss frontier. No intelligence of the
whereabouts of Mazzini has been received of later
date than the 6th of February. One thing seems
clear—that he has shown his confidence in the task
ho has had iu band, by leaving his safe refuge in
England to encounter courageously the risks attend-
ant upon rousing the power of Austria in Lombardy.
His friends entertain many fears fur his personal
safety.
A despatch of untold origin is thus published in
the Cologne Gazette:—

" MILAN, Ti.EBDAY, FEB. B.—Tranquillity has not
been disturbed since the day before yesterday. Of
the insurrectionists taken witn arms in their hands,
six have been hanged and three shot."
The Zurich Gazette of Feb. 8 contains the fol-
lowing:
"The courier from Milan, who has arrived at
Lugano, reports that a body of 400 men, armed with
daggers, attacked tho troops and the gendarmerie on
Sunday, and that WO have been killed. Similar
scenes had taken place at Rimini, but the result was
nut known."

The following telegraphic despa'ch, dated Berne,
Feb. 9, 12.30 (noon), but not dated at Milan, evi-
dently relates to the state of things described in the
despatches published on Thursday in the Express:
"The Swiss consul at Milan sends by a despatch
dated Milan, 7 p.m., and which has just arrived, the
intelligence that a premeditated disturbance (echaelf-
fourfe) took place on the evening of the oth, simul-
taneously in three different parts of the town. The
population of Milan, generally, took no part in it.
Order was promptly restored. 4
The Basle Gazette says :
"A telegraphic despatch from Bellinzona an-
nounces that seditious movements hare taken place
in different towns of Lombardy, and that the bar-
racks at Milan were attacked by 400 insurgents.
This intelligence caused great sensation in diplomatic
circles at Berne."

The Turin journals of the 7th inst. state that the
day before a Cabinet Council had been hastily con-
voked, and met under the presidency of the King.
The news of the insurrection at Milan had just
reached, and it was believed thet the Lombard re-
ragea were implicated therein.
One fact makes it very easy to believe why Lom-
bardy should at this moment be in determined resist-
ant* to Austria, namely, that the Government of that
kingdom had become, by cruelty and grossness, posi-
tively and literally intolerable, and its peaceful con-
tinuance an impossibility. The people, it has been
truly said, have been "directed in their feeding,
clothing, and smoking; their parish affairs managed
for them, perhaps by a serjeant's guard; their letter-
read by the Post-office ; their sons seized 'on sus
pinion; their wives beaten, their lives rendered
wretched and precarious. Five years has that state
of things continued—to say nothing of the 30 years,
behind those five."

On the 4th, it appears by a private letter dated
Saturday last, the Austrian government made nu-
merous arrests, which spread desolation through
Milan, and more than 200 families fled to the canton
of the Tessin. The government had, it was said,
diseovered a vast conspiracy. At the same time
Tenafly was in a state of excitement, and domici-
-1 Nary visits were made at Pisa, Laces, l'eschia, and
Pistoja, and were succeeded by many arrests.
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna of the 7th
in-
forms us that the government had announced the
events of Milan to the Viennese as a quarrel between
the dregs of the population and a few soldiers re-
specting the wearing of masks. Tho conflict, it is
added, broke out on Sunday evening, in the square of
the Cathedral.
