ITALY.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 10th,
announces that martial law has been proclaimed at
Cremona, in consequence of a sentinel having been
killed by a shot while on duty.
The following statement, by which it is attempted
to show that Mazzini had been received in Italy by
Lord Minto on the niglit'of the 17th ult., bat which
appears to us to be utterly unworthy of credit, is
given in the Augsburg Gazette. It is dated from
the Po, without any town being named, the 7th
tilt. :—" It is known that Lord Minto has been re-
"siding since last summer at Nervi, near Genoa, for
his health. In the night of the 17th of February,
the boat of an English steamer landed a man who
had no need to have himself announced in order to
be received in the house of his lordship. This fact
has caused some sensation. The intendant-general
has reported the matter officially." The Presse of
Vienna has the following on the same subject :
Lord Minto is at present residing in the.vicinity of
Genoa. In the.night of the 17th or 18th of Feb.,
a man was lauded from the barge of an English
steamer, in the neighbourhood of his lordship's
house at Nervi, in which he disappeared. Every-
body concurs in stating this man to have been Giu-
seppe Mazzini, and the supposition looks the more
like truth, when it is remembered that it was really
in the vicinity of Genoa that Mazzini embarked."
The Opinion denies the report that Mazzini had
embarked for Malta on board of the English fri-
gate Retribution. Mazzini knew peiiectly well.
that this frigate was not bound for Malta, but for
Leghorn, where she arrived on the 28th ult.
Accounts have been received from Rome to the
4th. The State Consulta was daily and seriously
occupied with business. On the 2d, it discussed
the Budget of the War department. Before 1848
the Roman army amounted to about 18,000 men,
who cost the State 1,700,000 piastres (9,214,000 f.)
a year. The bill now before the Consulta demands
an effective force of 13,000 men, for the expenses
of which the Minister has demanded 2,200,000
piastres (11,924,000 f.) or nearly 1 million of francs
per 1,000 men. The attempt against the life of
the Emperor of Austria had excited great indigna-
tion at Rome. A Te Deum was sung in thanks-
giving for his escape on the 3d in the German
church. The Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux
was expected at Rome to receive his hat. The
Father General of the Jesuits remained in the
same state, lying between life and death.

GERMANY.
A letter from Heidelberg, in the Grand Duchy
of Baden, states that a Mll Hitzfeldt was arrested
in that place a few days ago, for having spoken in
unbecoming terms of the attempt to assassinate the
Emperor of Austria. She had recently arrived
from America, to which she fled in 1849, to avoid
prosecution for the active part she took in the revo-
lutionary movements in the Grand Duchy. In her
luggage, papers of a revolutionary character were
found.

The royal mail steamer America, Capt. Leitch,
arrived off "the port of -Liverpool early yesterday
morning, and when making for" the entrance of the
river grounded on the Burbo Bank, but subse-
quently came off without material damage, and
docked about one o'clock. The mails, in charge of
Lieut. Ward, R.N., were placed on board the
Steam-Tug Company's steamer Powerful, and were
landed at about nine o'clock.
The America brought about 47 passengers, but
no specie. She left. Boston on the 2d instant, and
at eight p.m. met the steamer Cambria, hence on
the 19th ult., reached Halifax at 5.31 a.m. on the
4th, and started again with the full mails from
thence at 6.50 a.m. She has experienced extremly
,rough weather, and. loSt her bulwarks in a severe
storm, which at the same 'time "carried away' the
cabin doors and flooded the cabin, to the great dis-
comfort of the passengers, and also stove in two of
her boats. •
The United. State- mail steamer Humbolt, with
the Havre mails vitt Southampton, arrived at New
York on the. Ist. inst.
The ship Winchester, *lice for New York, had
put into Halifax, in distiess, on the 28th ult.
The news by this • arrival is not of striking im-
portance. The President had sent a message to
Congress, calling a special 'session, commencing on
the 4th of March. In the:meantime the Piesident
elect had been entertained. at a complimentary
dinner by President Filhnore. Congreis had voted
$150,000 for the expense of surveying the route for_
the immense Pacific Railway.
The Cabinet will consist of Marcy, as Secretary
of State"; _Guthrie' Secretary of Treasury ; M'Clel-
land, of Interior; Jefferson Davis, of War ; Dob-
bin' of Navy ; Campbell, Postmaster-General ;
and Caleb Cushing, as Attorney-General.
The Secretary of the United States Navy had ad-
dressed a letter to the naval committee of the House
of Representatives, recommending the passing of a
resolution by Congress, authorising the department
to contract for the building of a frigate of not less
than 2,000 tons, to be equipped with caloric en-
gines of sufficient power. The secretary also asks
for an appropriation of $500;000, to commence the'
work, as he is convinced that the experiment would
result in introducing the caloric 'engine generally
into the naval service.

From Havannah we have advices to the 21st
ultimo. Her Majesty's ship Cumberland was at
Havannah. The visit of the ship was, it was said,
for the purpose of inquiring into the alleged conni-
vance of the authorities with the reprobate slave-
traders ; and also to inquire into the outrages com-
mitted on certain British subjects. The commander
of the Cumberland had an interview with the Cap-
tain-General, Caned° ' • shortly after which Mr.
Boylan, the outraged Englishman, was released,
and allowed to go back to his business at St. Jago.
The French squadron was still in the harbour.
Great excitement existed at Havannah, in con-
sequence of the authorities having broken open the
United States mails (both the outward and inward
mails). Judge Sharkey, the United States consul
at Havannah, had addressed a communication to
the captain general, protesting, it is said, in ener-
getic terms, against the right of the Cuban autho-
rities to search any United States mail steam-ship.
No response had been received by the consul, prior
to the departure of the. Isabel. The Isabel, how-
ever, was permitted to leave port without under-
going any examination. The communication, there-
fore, of the consul, seems to' have had a desirable
effect.

By telegraph advices. from Baltimore, of the 28th
February, we learn that the New Orleans papers
received at Baltimore by that evening's mail con-
tain Tampico advices to the 9th February, which
state that ex-President Arista had arrived there in
disguise, and, after a stay of two days, left for
Matamoros. The Picayune thinks, if the report
be true, that a change of Government will soon
be heard of on the Rio Grande.
By this arrival we have news from Jamaica to
the 21st February. The House of Assembly had
refused to raise more than $150,000 to defray the
public expenditure, and had passed a strong resolu-
tion on the subject of retrenchment. The question
of abrogating shipping duties was to be taken up
on the 22d ult.
