A letter from Turin, says rigorous measures con-
tinue to be taken at Milan with respect to the per-
sons who wish to pass through the gates. The
military authorities still seem to be certain that
Mazzini is in Milan. A minute surveillance is also
exercised on the frontier of Tessinb in order that if
the agitator leaves that city, he may not at least be
able to leave Lombardy. And in order that he
may not escape by sea, orders have been forwarded
by telegraph to Venice and Trieste to send vessels
of war along the coasts of Venetia and the Lega-
tions, and also on those of Tuscany.
The Venice Gazette of the 18th publishes the fol-
lowing order of the day, dated the 12th, addressed
by Field-Marshal Radetzky to the army :
"On the 6th of this month the city of Milan was the
theatre of most shameful acts of high treason. A nume-
rous troop of paid assassins made attempts of attack, as
rash as they were futile, on a few guard-houses, traitor-
ously surprised some straggling officers and soldiers,
killed several, and wounded many with poniards, dye-
ing the streets of Milan with blood. We leave to the
world to form a judgment of this execrable crime • to
the severe tribunal of God, and of the military authori-
ties, the condemnation of the abetters and perpetrators
of the same. Soldiers ! I, who have witnessed innumer-
able proofs of your valour and glory, deplore with you
the noble blood which has been spilt by assassins ; but
I raise up my afflicted eyes with real satisfaction on see-
ing the firm behaviour and generous moderation displayed
by the garrison of Milan in the hour of treason. His
Majesty, our most gracious Emperor, in his beneficent
and fraternal anxiety for the welfare of his troops, has
been pleased to order that five imperial sequins, (about
60fr.) be distributed to every one of those who are but
slightly wounded, and 10 to each of those who have
been wounded severely. To this act of imperial
munificence I must add my own special acknow-
ledgment for the dignified behaviour and prompt obedi-
ence of the garrison of Milan to the military call, which
I with satisfaction announce to the army by the present
order of the day. Soldiers, continue to be. what you
ever have been I—in peace the vigilant guardians of in-
terior tranquillity and the confines of the empire—in
war the intrepid combatants for the Emperor and the
country, who both look upon you with pride and love."
The Austrian Minister, in Switzerland, refuses
to grant passports to Swiss subjects for Italy. The
Government of Tessino has just suspended the
journal " is Patriote de Faido."

Count de Leiningen had quitted Constantinople,
and that the Divan had then referred the settle-
ment of its differences with Austria to the media-.
tion of France and England. The same journal re-
marks on the menacing tone of some of the London
journals towards Turkey, and ascribes it entirely to
the return of the reactionary party to power at
Constantinople.
A telegraphic message has been received from
Paris this morning stating that Count Leiningen
has declined the French and English mediation,
and sent in an ultimatum.
