A private letter from Paris says—" Accounts
have been received front Milan of so late a date as
the 151 h; they speak of a gathering storm in that
part of Italy. Several arrests have been recently
made, and the Austrian Government have had intim-
illation of a secret society, composed of nearly two
hundred officers who served under Buonaparte, and
the greater part of wham are now living in Pied-
mont. Since this information, the Austrian Resi-
dent at Sesto Callenda has received instructions to
allow no person without a passport to cross the Lake
Maggiore, even for an hour. The order is rigidly
enCreed, and many Italians, who come from Sesto
and Piedmont. with passports only fir the day, are
placed under surveillane.!; but the watchers and the
watched are equally- infected with the revolutionary I
spirit "
LORD COCDRANE.—Letters have been received
from Lord Cochrane of the 10th April. According
to them, the services of his Lordship were duly ap-
preciated by his adopted country, and rewards were
pouring in upon him. The Government had made
him a present of 27,G00 OLI4:S Of valuable land. The
Supreme Di;ector O'Higgins and Gen. San Martin
cin:.l:::ed him on all occasions; and these three
leading characters rivalled each other in patriotism,
exertion, and zeal. Lord Cochrane bestows the most
unqualified encomiums OR the talents, and public, as
well as private, characrers of O'Higgins and San
Martin, with the only difference of the latter posses
sing greater military experience. His Lordship also
speaks in the highest terms of praise ofthe equipment,
discipline. and spirit of the army and navy, and
observes, that if a people ever desorved liberty and
independence, it is that of Chili. The preparations
fir the attack on the Vice-royalty of Lima were
carrying on with gnat activity, and his Lordship
expresses his confidence in the result, althorgh he
properly omits goin.,e' into the details of the plan of
operations. An tiffiter the staff of Gen. Bolivar
had been some time in Chili.; lie had been sent by
'the Commander in Chief from Santa Fe de Bagota,
through a port in Choco, to combine a plan Mr a
simultidemia attack by sea and land on Guayaquil,
and other conected movements on Lima.

Brussels Papers to the 18th, and Hamburgl►

menced its march on the •tat of June. It is not
expected that hos►ilities will commence until the

The Leasinglon Public Adverarcr is clothed in
mourning, on account of the death of the Tariff Bill,
which, the Editor says, was " murdered in the Senate
by the majority of one vote ;" adding, " Mourn,
oh ye sons and daughters of the United States ; put
on sackcloth and ashes, tier the great enemy of your
independence has prevailed; you must still remain
tributary to the workshops of Europe; your theto-
ries must remain prostrate; your agricultural pro-

Tile body of an untortintat, man, dressed in the ens•
tome of a sailor, was thscovemi on Saturday morning in
a 5151311 pond, situate a short distance tram the new
road leading I rum Kentish Town to the Highgate Arch-
way. On being dragged to the shore by the men who
found it, appearances led to the conclusion that death
had been produced by violent means, and that in fact a
foul murder had been committed. The leaiures were
disfigured with blood, and the clenched fists and curved
arms of the man, induced the by-slanders to suppose
that lie hail died in tiie act of resistance, and tftis bend
was aid( d by ihe declaration ofa woman rvsiding near the
spot, Min stated, that, at about ouc U.CIOCk w Ine morn-

were quarreling. .I..he body was conveyed to the Bull
