ITALY.

Titters from Turin state that an indescribable agi-
tation has been produced in that city by the news of
the Lombard spoliation.. We have before remarked
that some of the emigrants whose property is seques-
trated have obtained naturalisation in Piedmont, and
have thus become Sardinian citizens. As they have
thus acquired a right to the protection of the govern-
ment of that state, the new decree is of a nature to
raise serious difficulties between the cabinets of Turin
and Vienna. It is said that the Sardinian cabinet
has already demanded explanations of the Austrian
government. At Turin the confiscation is regarded
as the most insensate act which a government desi-
rous of retaining a footing in Italy could perpetrate,
as it drives into the ranks of the insurgents the only
class which was wanting to make the revolutionary
party co-extensive with the entire nation.
The Opinione of Turin states from Milan, Ist in,
stant, that the
.provinces of Milan and Como are to
receive a large increase of troops, orders having been
given to prepare new quarters for them. The same
paper states that Marshal Itadetzky has ordered the
Lieutenancy of Lombardy to report to him on the
property of the 200 principal inhabitants in each of
the provinces under his jurisdiction. Emigrants,
persons excluded from the amnesty, and those who
have been allowed to divest themselves of the quality
of Austrian citizens, arc to be comprised in the list.
The Milan Ga:ette publishes a decree of the 28th
ult.' by which Count Strafe,ldi, Imperial Lieutenant
of Lombardy, gives a first warning to the Corriere
idel Lario for disrespectful observations contained in
it against foreign governments.
The Messaggere di iforlena states, without giving a
date, that martial law has been proclaimed at Forli,
but simply as a precautionary measure.
The Parma Gazette of the 18th ult. publishes a
decree, in which the Duke of Parma names Ham
Thomas Ward, at present his Plenipotentiary at
Vienna, to the post of Minister of his Household.
The correspondent of the Berlin lire= Zeitung
affirms that the police of Turin have been diligently
searching for M. Mazzini, convinced that he was in
that city. He adds that Count Appony, the Austrian
minister, had thanked the government for this
service.

been sentenced by the court-martial to be hanged,
persisted nevertheless in wandering about the coun-
try, organising a second revolution, and raising a
guerilla troop, which was to be the avant garde of
the new movement. With this intention, continues
the sentence, Roszlopy recruited among the boldest
,of his fellow-revolutionaires, bought horses, arms,
and accoutrements, and having lost some of his men)
who were surprised by the gendarmerie at Kehl-
, kemet, withdrew to the Bakony Forest, in
order the better to collect his forces. Here
he resolved to supply himself and his troop with
necessaries by falling with his band upon the pro-
perty of true and faithful subjects of his Majesty the
Emperor, whom they called traitors to Hungary. In
one of these attacks the proprietor Gindly was
killed, and although Roszlopy was not present, of his
complicity in the affair there can be no doubt. On
the 16th of November, 1852, he was at length cap-
tured and sent to Vienna.
Samuel Sarkuzy, a private soldier on leave from
his regiment, the fourth and last prisoner, is said in
the sentence passed upon him to have gone to and
fro from the Bakony Forest to Pesth, carrying mes-
sages and enlisting recruits for Itoszlopy, the prisoner
before mentioned.
The crimes of high treason having been proved
against the prisoners before the court martial, they
were executed on the 3rd inst. at Teeth : Juhbal,
Roszlopy, and Sarkiay by hanging, and Andrasffy
with powder and ball.
The Post-Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date
of l'esth, 28th ult., says:—" It is stated, not as a
rumour but as a positive fact, that the day before
yesterday the Provost of the fortress of C3morn was
brought here heavily ironed, and lodged in the new
prison. He allowed himself to be drawn into a con-
spiracy with the state prisoners in that fortress, the
object of which was to deliver up the place to the
Magyars. The Commandant Field-Marshal Si-
manich was to have been assassinated, and the small
arsenal pillaged, in or der to furnish arms to the libe-
rated prisoners. One of the latter, being troubled
in his conscience, discovered the plot by a letter
which he addressed to a person high in office, and
thus prevented the calamity."
