The Insurrection in Venice.
-----.4,----- -
(From the nita Ita

As confirmation of the news received from our
Venetian friends, we publish the following corre-
Tondence, given in the current number of the
Diritto :

" The good news of Friuli just received has been
authentically confirmed. On the evening of the 6th
a body of Austrians moved from 'Udine towards
Mount Raut to reconnoitre the position of the in-
surgents. These, under the command of brave
Tolezzi,* suffered them to epproach, and firing a
volley charged them at the point of the bayonet.
The Austrians fl.d, leaving on the ground one dead
and four wounded. We, lost not a man. The next
day, the 7th, ToLzzi'd band descended Mount Raut,
near Maniago, and attacked the troops composing
the garrison. They commenced by throwing Orsini
bombs, musket shots followed, then a hand to hand
engagement with bayonets. The Austrians were
again beaten with heavy loss—eight killed, of whom
one was a lieutenant, and 16 wounded, one of whom
was a captain. We had only one wounded, Del
Zqto di Beiluno, formerly a soldier of our regular
army, who was in the last campaign with Garibaldi.

"On the 10,h a third encounter. The band of
Venzane, led by brave C., our friend, and one of the
Thousand, with 150 men, took the road towards
Miggio, thence to the mountains, straight to Pa-
iuzzl, descended to the canal of Gorto, and engaged
in a fierce combat. The Austrians left many on
the field ; among the dead and wounded many offi-
cers. We have not yet ascertained our loss, but no
one is prisoner.

" This great disparity of loss is shown by our
correspondents by the panic spread amongst the
Austrian soldiers, who aro not accustomed to this
kind of warfare. The Austrians, put into disorder
by bomb-shells and attacked with bayonets, soon
became demoralised. Great alarm reigns in the
city. The families of the officers are in dismay.
The unexampled boldness of the red shirts over•
whelms the enemy with astonishment.
"At Verona, on Bth evening, the patrol stopped
the passengers in the streets. They demand papers,
persecute individuals—in short, they resort to Aus-
trian barbarities. Let them set. I hope soon to
send you very important news."
In the llovimento we read :

" We have good news from Venctia ; successful
encounters and increase of troops. There is no
doubt that the insurgents have means of sustaining
themselves through the winter, molesting the
enemy's troops, as they have already done several
times. New bands appear in other districts, and
the Government journals of Turin and Milan are
compelled to admit the importance of the movement.
To us the best proof is the arrival of Benedicts at
Udine, and the tone of the Austrian press, which
claims no victory."
EOp in e gives the following account:—

l'he skirmish that took place on the 7th near
the torrent Telline between Iduzzi's company and a
Austrian patrol, has been confi-med ; also the for-
mation of two new bands, which have stationed
themselves on the moutains of Carnia.
" This last fact has driven the Austrians to meal
sures of greater rigour. A person lately came from
Venetia (13th) to Brescia, confirms the publication
of the state of siege in the province of Udine. The
city is not excluded. The first article would be—
authorisation to the military to fire upon whoever
responds not to the first iequiry. Severity has
reached its climax. Patrols of soldiers, who are
scattered over all the streets of Piave, at Taglia-
mento, accost all travellers, on foot or in carriage.
Any stranger who may arrive in any of the places
between CAluda and Tagliamento cannot be there
two hours without a vi,it from a patrol, invested
with extraordinary powers by the local authorities.
Every house situated in the mountains may only
contain provisions sufficient for one day, and these
provisions can only be obtained by presentation of
a certificate granted by political authority. Those
who are free are in a state of alarm, being subject
to frequent and unforeseen domiciliary visitations:,

Funeral Ceremony in the Crimea.

It is well known that at the Congress held at
Paris, after the close of the war in the Crimea, the
cemeteries and burial places of the allied army were
placed under the protection of the Russian Governs
ment ; and that on the proposition of the French
Minister for War, and by order of the Emperor of
the French, arrangements were made to unite on
one spot all the French tombs scattered under the
walls of Sebastopol. The ground granted by the
Russian Government for this purpose was that on
which the headquarters of the French army were
situated. It is of square shape, about two and
a half acres in extent, and is surrounded by a
stone wall. All branches of the French army
have a special funeral monument within this enclo-
sure, and each individual inscription connected with
the isolated graves around has been carefully re-
moved to the new cemetery. In the centre of the
enclosure rises a mausoleum specially destined to
receive the mortal remains of Generals Brunet, Bre-
ton, de Lavarande, de Pon teves, Rivet, de Saint.
Pol, and Parrin de Jonquieres. The bodies of Gene,
rats Bizot, Mayran, de Lourmel, and de Marolles
were removed to France during the war.
On the morning of the 25th of October last the
ceremony was inaugurated by placing the remains
of the seven general officers mentioned within the
tomb destined for their reception, which was
effected under the superintendence of a captain of en-
gineers who had charge of the works connected with
the cemetery. The ectfins, covered with black
velvet, and etch bearing a white cross, were con-
veyed on carriages to %Nan a few hundred yards
of the entrance, where the garrison of Sebastopol,
the 3d battalion of the Grand Duke Michael's regi-
ment, commanded by Colonel Janofsky, was drawn
up under arms. Vice-Admit al Kislinsky, the
governor of Sebastopol, with many Russian naval
and military officers, and a great number of inha-
bitants, were present to witness the ceremony, and
pay the last honours to the mortal remains of the
gallant generals. At ten o'clock a Roman Catho-
lic priest from Simpheropol, who had arrived to
conduct the religious portion of the ceremony, corn
menced the chant for the dead. The ►roops
presented arms, while the band played a funeral
hymn, and the Russian colour was lowered as a
salute to the bodies of the brave generale. When the
signal for departure was given, some Russian officers
advanced to bear the coffins, two or three companies
of the troops formed a double line, while the bat-
talion formed in columns of companies. The proces-
sion the❑ set out towards the cemetery—the vice-
admiral walking immediately after the last funeral
car. As soon as the office for the dead had been re•
cited, and before the coffins were lowered into the
vault of the central monument, the priest blessed the
ground, where, for the future, will repose the ashes
of the French generals, officers, non-commissioned
officers and private soldiers who fell before the walls
of the beleagured city. Then the battalion fired a
parting volley over the tomb, whilst the drums
beat to arms, and thus was paid the last homage of
respect due to brave men who had died in arms.
The removal of the remains of the French soldiers
was then proceeded with, and without delay all
were consigned to their last resting places within
the sacred enclosure. The care of the cemetery is
con fi led to a retired French captain. The Russian
governor-general lent every assistance in his power
to forward the completion of the works, and thus
showed his sytnpathy with the sentiment which had
actuated the French Government in the task it had
un(!ertaken, and his desire to carry out the wishes
of the Russian authorities.

MEXICAN PRIVATEERS.—Our correspondent at
Nantes writes :—" Not a little commotion has been
caused hero by the news, contained in letters from New
York, that President Juarez, of Mexico, intends to issue
letters of marque against France, and that three privateers
are being litted out in United States ports for the purpose of
attacking French ships, and particularly the large steamers
of the Transatlantic Company which ply between St. Na-
nire and Vera Cruz. But the belief among reflecting per-
sons is that the United States Government can hardly be
so imprudent as to run the risk of coming into collision with
France by tolerating anything of the kind, If, however,
privateering should be attempted, the Ministry of Marine
at Paris is understood to have already taken measures for
very energetic action,"—§hipptng ana
