THE NEW TREATY.
BERLIN, Fes. 27.
The Conference of Coalitionists at Vienna was dis-
solved quietly, and without any particular ceremony,
immediately after the conclusion of the Anatre-
Prussian treaty. It must be presumed that they
were cognisant of the course of negotiation, and con-'
cur in the measure. The conferences between'
Prussia and the coalitionists for the prolongation of
the Zollverein and incorporation of the Hanoverian
Steuerverein will be resumed, it is said, about the
middle of next month. It will then appear whether
Prussia will blindly sacrifice its independence in
matters of commercial policy by tying itself down to
the unanimous consent of its Zollverein allies,
or whether it will demand, as the chief
power, comprising half the union, that it be vested
with discretionary power to reduce the tariff rates in
such proportion us the financial and commercial in-
tenet of the union may appear to dictate. This is
what Prussia obviously ought to do ; and there are
parties in the government who urge the step, and

would regard the renewal of the Zollverein, without
such discretionary power for Prussia, as an irretriev-
able political blunder.

ITALY.

In the Milan Gazette of the 24th, Count Gyulai
made known to the Milanese that persons dissemi-
nating news of disquieting character and not true
would be tried by court-martial.
We find the following in the Genoa journal, to
which it is addressed:

TO TRI P 1312011 OF PHI ITALIA I POPOLO.
8114—The recent movement in Milan, which though cut
short in the beginning, by incidents beyond all human cal -
culation, and limited to the spot, by virtue of that prudence
which looks not to blame or to praise, but only to the object
to be achieved, should have swelled every hottest heart with
Italian pride, and ahoull have revealed to the most doubt-
ing the real tendencies of our people, hitherto misunder-
stood and misrepresented by fatal prejudices and by
cowardly fears, has called forth almost universal blame.
I feel the entire responeibility that results from the last
proclamation of the national committee, written by me, and
conntenigned by only one of my colleagues—nor do I
disclaim it.

I shall hasten to declare with all the promptitude that
the circumstances in which I am placed will permit, the
rounds on which I assume this responsibility, willingly
and proudly. And since lukewarm friends and irrecon.
cileable enemies require it, I will condescend to speak of
myself.
I ask—not of men whose only doctrine is err ruffs !
not of journalists who for 300 francs a month sell their
consciences and their pens to an aristocracy that is dead ere
it was born—not of the consciously or unconsciously cul-
pable, who deny to Italy the power of an initiative now
made evident by the heroic martyrdoms, the glorious
darings of the lest four years—but of Italians who do in-
deed love their country, hare a lofty sense of her destinies,
and who fume and fight to accomplish them—only a few
days suspension of their judgment.
My soul is em►ittered—by sorrow Rot by remorse. The
faith which four-and-twenty years ago lighted up my youth
with a smile of enthusiasm glows more warmly than ever—
eternal day-star of the mind. Let not the youth of my
country renounce it. It will not be renounced by • popu-
lation which, superior to the puny intellects of a class,
that destroys when it should direct, can dare amid a gene-
ra; lethargy, with merely such offensive means as even Aus-
triacould not put beyond the reach of citizens—to affront
the cannon anal fortress of Milan.

Yours,
February 22.

JOSEPLI BIAZZINI.

SWITZERLAND.

The Parlamevto of Turin states, from Bellinzona,
that Colonel Bourgeois, the federal commissioner
who had been sent into Ticino, has found nothing
to corroborate the supposition of connivance on the
part of the cantonal authorities at the plans of the
authors of the Milan movement. The muskets sup-
posed to be concealed in the house of a M. Ciani have
turned out to be flooring for an inn that is building,
and the powder talked of was a provision ordered
several years before for the cantonal arsenal.
