ITALY.

I learn that news has arrived this afternoon,
one of the foreign embassies in Paris, announcing'
that Charles Albert has evacuated mbartfry, and
that Milan has capitulated.
The Sardinian army, of 45,000 men and 64 ph ces
of cannon, has effected its retreat without having been

intercepted.
In the evening of the 2nd, M. Castagneto, private
secretary of Charles Albert, arrived at Turin, and was
the object of threatening demonstrations by some
groups of thousands of persons who collected under
his wind Ave, uttering threats of death to him.
M. Pareto had been oblibed to quit the ministry, in
consequence of demonstrations of the same kind.

DENMARK AND' THE DUCHIES.

Advises from Hamburg, of the 4th ins'ant, an-
nounce the fact that Denmark had given notice that
all German ports would be again placed multi.
blockade, dating from the 15. h current. It was hoped
that this decided step might bring about a settlement
of the Schleswig question. What effect it may have
upon trade remains to be seen.

IRELAND.

COMMITTALS FOR•HIGH TREASON.

DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.
The mails have all arrived, arid report the state of
the country to be tranquil. Dr. West, Dr. M'Carron,
of New York, and Messrs. Brennan and Meany, who
had been for some days under arrest, have been
committed on a charge of high treason. It is
thought that a special commission will be issued
for the trial of all the priseuels in custody except
those committed previous to the late act. Mr. Bergen,
of New York, and Mr. Marrow, of Drogheda, are com-
mitted to Newgate. Mr. Butler, of the Galw,ty
Vindicator, and Mr. Whitt'', of Wexford, are in
custody. Except Smith O'Brien, all the insurgent
leaders are still at large; but Doheny's arrest is
momentarily expected; he is said to be completely
beaten down with watching and fatigue. Meagher
is slid to have tied towards Waterford, from the
Keeper Mountains. There is an irsurrectionary
movement near Abbey reale, supposed to be headed
by O'Gorman. Lord liardinge is gone down to
Kilkenny. General Macdonald has removed his camp
from Thurles to Limerick. Numerous arrests have
been made in Waterford and other places.
The Freemtsn'q Journal gives the following parti-
culars of Mr. Smith O'Brien since his arrival in Kil-
mainham :
Or. the arr:eal of Mr. O'Brien with hie escort at li•l-
-mainham gad, he was conducted at ouco into the intertor,
and was shown into the to gistrar's room, whilst arrange-
ments were making (or his reeldion, and the usual entry
made in the pri-on books. Mr. O'Brien was received by
the deputy.governor with c turtesy and respect. When
he reached the prison Mr. O'Brien was enveloped in a large
double-lined cloak, or tree* ]ling wrapper, of dark frier
This he wore over hie usu.' costume. Some brio f old sy
tali-:g ploce, Mr. O'Been inquired how soon he would 1
shown the room be was to occupy ; he emir, wed time it
very =eh fatieu.d, and intimated his wish to b.: allow( tl to
take some rest. lie was at once conducted to a lock-up
room, where a bed was placed, and on reaching it
he proceeded to di-po-e himself to take some r post., alit r
hit long journey by rfilway. Ind, pr.l”bly, a tatiguit.g walk
across the country to Thor' .s, previous to his arrest. The
officer in charge of the vitas, however, deeming that some
refreshment woo necedis.ry fur his prisoner, had tea, &c., gut
ready, and brought up to him. Mr. O'Brien partook of it,
and thanked the officer (or hie opportune attention. lie
then slept uninterruptedly uutil 9 o'clock, when he was
served with breakfast. lie breakfasted heartily, and as we
could learn, appeared self-possessed and cheerful during the
morning.
In the course of the forenoon several gentlemen called at
the prison to get confirmation of the still half-doubted tact
of Mr. O'Brien's apprshensim, and to obtain Aimee, to him,
if possible. This latter was, however, found (as miaht have
been expected) entirely out of the question. The strictest
orders had been issued that no person whatever, for any
reoson, or on any preterct,, should be admitted to see or con-
verse with Mr. O'Brien. It appears that a gentleman re-
qu zited an interview with him in the early port of yesterday,
stating that he was Mr. O'Brien's solicitor, and wished to
see him on busiuess ; but his request was peremptorily
refused,
Town-major White visited the prison yesterday, early in
the afttrnoon.
