ITALY.

The Constitutionnel says :—" The Retribution,
frigate, having carried Mazzini from Genoa, cast
anchor in succession at Leghorn and Naples.
When the Neapolitan Government learned from
Turin that this vessel carried Mazzini, it hastened
to take precautionary measures. The frigate
weighed anchor, but unfortunately also put into
Palermo. Whether Mazzini has really made any
attempt at insurrection in Sicily, or that General
Filangieri desired to take severe measures of pre-
caution, it is certain that there have been a great
number of arrests at Palermo, and even, we are
assured, five capital executions. The [Lieutenant-
General appears to think that Mazzini has landed
in the island to there take his revenge for the
check which he received in Lombardy. We have
good reason to believe that General Filangieri is
mistaken. A work of .Mazzini's is in the press,
bearing the title of Agli Italiani. The Italia e
Popolo of Genoa gives an extract from this pamph-
let. If Mazzini wanted to revolutionise Sicily, he
would, it says, be more engaged in proclamations
and appeals to the people than in giving an account
of his attempt at insurrection at Milan. Mazzini
is at Malta, superintending the printing of his
work, and from that place he sent part of it to the
Genoese journal."
A letter from Turin, in the Constitutionnel, says :
—" A traveller, who has just arrived from Milan,
says that at Magenta, on the frontier, and in the
police offices at Milan, he found much fewer diffi-
culties and formalities, and was much less ques-
tioned than two years ago. No trace of the late
events, he adds, is to be seen in the moral condi-
tion of the population.i No doubt there is a dis-
tinct line of demarcation between the Milanese and
the Austrians, but that has always existed. The
only mark of superiority of the Austrians which he
noticed, was at the theatre La Canobiana, where
the first five rows in the pit are reserved for the
officers of the garrison ; but that is a privilege
which would be but little envied at Turin, for those
rows in the pit are always the least occupied, as the
danseuses cannot be seen so well from them."
A letter from Ticino of the 14th, in the Basle
Gazette, says :—" Persons are still arriving from
Lombardy. They are in general Lombard women,
who had married citizens of Ticino. They had re-
mained with their families, in the hope that the
Afistrian police would not disquiet them, but the
police insisted on their taking their departure with
their children."
A telegraphic dispatch from Turin says :—" In
the Chamber of Deputies, the President of the
Council of Ministers presented a law project de-
manding a credit of 400,000 f., for a loan to be
Lombard emigrants who had become Sardinian
citizens, and whose property had been sequestrated
by the Austrian Government."
Accounts have been received from Malta to the
12th. The English squadron had not yet made
any preparations for departure. Admiral Dundas
had on the evening before dispatched a steamer to
Constantinople. and had received notice of the
speedy arrival of a line of battle ship and a steam-
frigate from Portsmouth.
The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol-
lowing from Vienna, 16th :—" The Bund of Berne
has published the news that the Austrian authori-
ties in Lombardy had received orders to put them-
selves in immediate relations with the Federal com-
missioner, in order to arrange the differer ces which
have arisen between our Government and Switzer-
land. This account is inexact; the Austrian authori-
ties have only received orders to communi cate to Col.
Bourgeois, the Federal commissioner, the docu-
ments and information necessary for the inquiry
which he is charged to make in Ticino, relative to
the attempt at Milan."
The Cattolico was seized at Genoa on the 14th,
on a charge of having, in one of its articles relating
to the anniversary of the battle of Novara, ex-
pressed an evident wish for the destruction of the
monarchic constitutional regime ; an offence punish-
able by Art 22 of the law of March 26, 1848.
The Italia Libera of Genoa, of the 14th, has been
seized by the police.
The Mediterraneo of Genoa has suspended its
publication.
Field Marshal Radetzky arrived at Venice on the
11th, from Verona. On the following day he paid
his respects to Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian.
