THE INSURRECTION AT MILAN.

The French Government yesterday received the
following telegraphic dispatch from the Minister of
France in Switzerland :

" Basle, Feb. B,_B p.m.

" A telegraphic dispatch from Bellinzona, of this day,
at half-past four in the afternoon states that an insur-
rection broke out on the 6th at Milan in three quarters.
Five men were killed, but order was re-established, as
an Austrian proclamation announces to the public."
The French Government received also the fol-
lowing telegraphic dispatch, dated Turin, Bth,
10 a.m. :

" An attempt at insurrection took place at Milan on
the 6th. The inhabitants in general took no part in it.
It has been suppressed. Turin and Piedmont are tran-
quil."

Many influential people in Paris regard this at-
tempted insurrection as a pretext used by Austria
to collect a larger army in Italy.
A letter from Paris, dated yesterday, says :
The news of the insurrection at Milan has created
an immense sensation here, and great apprehen-
sions are entertained that it is only the commence-
ment of further and more serious events. There
appears to be no doubt that Mazzini is at the head
of the movement. He has been in the canton of
Tesino for the last month ; and. the proclamation
issued by him, and mentioned in the telegraphic
dispatch, addressed by the French Minister in
Switzerland to the Government here, has been pla-
carded, not only in Milan, but in several parts of
the canton of Tesino. Copies of the proclama-
tion are known to be in Paris. It doeS not speak
of the form of government which the movers in
the affair would wish to see established, but merely
appeals to the people of Lombardy to join in
securing the independence of Italy, by making war
against the domination of Austria. It appears
that the movement has not been quite so sudden as
may at first appear. There was a good deal of
previous agitation, evidently got up for the purpose
of exciting the people, and preparing them for the
movement. On the 2d a rumour was industriously.
circulated that Louis Napoleon had been assassi-
nated on the day of his marriage, and so generally
was it believed that it created a tumult, which
threatened the public peace; and ultimately appear-
ances were so alarming that the authorities were
forced to issue placards, announcing that the re-
port was wholly without foundation.
It may perhaps be premature to offer any opinion
as to the real cause of this movement. The reports
on the subject are various, and perhaps depend in
some measure on the opinions of the parties utter-
ing them. Some say that it is the,work of the Re-
publican party, aided by French refugees ; others
maintain that it is the commencement of a move-
ment on the part of Louis Napoleon to extend
French influence in Italy. It must be said that
hitherto it appears as if the movement were a Re-
publican one. The friends of Piedmont are in great
apprehension as to the influence this affair may
have upon the state of that country ; but the
Turin dispatch is so far satisfactory, as it is known
that Genoa has for a long time past been in a state
of great excitement, and, if the news given be cor-
rect, that the insurrection is suppressed, there will
probably be no outbreak. But it is not yet quite
certain that the news given in the telegraphic dis-
patch issued by the French Government may not
give the latest information. It is probable that in
the course of to-morrow this point will be cleared up.
There is some talk here to-day of several arrests
which have taken place among the Italian emigres.
at Marseilles.

It was reported at the Bourse that two additional
regiments were to be sent to Rome, to reinforce the
French army of occupation in that city.

SPAIN.
We have received the Madrid journals of the
4th. They contain partial accounts of the progress
of the election at Madrid, but all interest is taken
from them by a telegraphic dispatch, dated one day
later, which says that in all the electoral districts
of the capital the Government candidates had been
returned by large majorities. A Madrid letter of
the 4th says—" Yesterday, her Majesty gave a
private audience to the Chevalier de Wendland,
lately appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary from the King of Bavaria. The
most friendly expressions. were exchanged on the
occasion of this mission, the object of which is to
consolidate the relations which have so long united
the two Governments. One of the last letters ad-
dressed by the Countess de Toba to her friends in
Madrid, a very short time before her marriage to
the Emperor of the French, was to a distinguished
physician, M. Sevane, in which she ordered him to
triple the sum which he had been in the habit of
distributing to the sick and poor in her name. This
trait of charity is the finer as it was not done with
any idea of its being made public."
