ITALY.

LONlBARDY.—lntelligence ham been r eoeirsd, at
the ministry of foreign affairs in Paris, that 20,0(0
men had been sent by Radetzki to reinforce the be-
sieging corps before Venice, which, it appears, is to
be vigorously attacked. For this purpose 9,000 men
have bra detached from Milan, 7,000 from Placentia,
and dirt 4,000 from Breeds. In reference to these
asseaments, the Concordia of Turin, of the 21st inst.,
gab s, Ikea Pavia,that Gen. Weldenhai written to Ra-
&fold to earns against Venice immediately with all his
available forces and artillery, and take that city at
any cost, as the affairs of Italy cannot be arranged
without the conquest of that stronghold. Field-
Marshal Radetzki has set out from Milan, some say
for Piacenza, others for Orzinovi on the Oglio, to es-
tablish an entrenched amp there. Cannon his been
sent from Milan to Brescia, under a strong military
escort. According to the above paper, Radetzki 's
forces are at this moment much inferior to those of
Piedmont; he ie in great want of money, notwith-
standinghis exactions, so that he has been obliged to
impose a new tax of eight millions of francs, which
makes the total amount paid by Lombardy since Au-
gust 68 millions.
The same journal says it is rumoured that two
couriers have arrived from Brunets, one for Radetzki,
the other for Turin, bringing orders not to recom-
mence hostilities at present.
ROMAN STATES.—Advices from Rome, of the I
17th instant, bring a proclamation of the pro-
visional commission of government, addressed to
all the people of Italy, which says : " The hour,
is come when Italy must cease to be a geo-
graphical name, and become a nation." It
then proclaims that the National Constituent
Assembly of Rome will ammo the powers of
an Italian oonitituant assembly, in so far as
it would form a part of that Assembly. It shall
not have the chhaariicter of a partial or local
representation, but of that of twenty-five mil-
lions of Italians, all united in the same sentiments,
that of developing in common the era of the great rege-
neration. Rome will thus lay the Brut stone of
that edifice which shall unite in one end, in
one existence, in one nation, the different people
of the ancient Queen of Europe—the Italian Consti-
tuent Assembly. When this proclamation was read
at Civita Vecchia, the enthusiasm was unbounded.
Lieut.-Col Stores Cesarini has been elected Com-
mandant of the National Guard.
General Zamboni bad been arrested en route for
Gaeta. He was the bearer of several letters. It
appears that a reactionary movement was arranged
for the 21st inst., the day of the elections.
