The Milan Gazette of the 30th ult. contains the
following notification from the militaiy command-
ant of Lombardy :

" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of th
Army, Governor-General, Field-Marshal Count Ra-
detzky has authorised me gradually to mitigate the
rigorous state of siege imposed upon this city after th
6th of February last. Besides the alleviations recently
conceded, I find it expedient to order from the Ist of
May :—Article 1. All the societies legally existing pre-
viously, may resume their meetings on observing the
proper prescriptions ; all the theatres may also be re-
opened with the permission of the competent local au-
thorities. Art. 2. All the gates of the city, except the
Porta Vigentina and Porta Ludovica, shall henceforth be
opened at 4 a.m. and closed at 10 p.m. The passage of
horses and carriages on the bastions is entirely free ; fo
foot-passengers the time is restricted to the hours during
which the gates remain open. The existing regula-
tions, with respect to passports at the gates of the city,
still remain in -vigour. Art. 3. To those who lodge
either strangers or subjects of Lombardy, I grant hence-
forward 24 hours' time to notify their arrival to the
police as prescribed, on pain of incurring a fine of 10
Austrian livres (100 fr.) and a fortnight's imprisonment
for every omission. Beepers of lodging-houses may
also be deprived of their licences in case of a relapse.
Art. 4. At night the sentinels shall only challenge such
persons as shall appear to approach them in a suspicious
manner, and in case they shall not immediately obey
the challenge, the sentinels shall use their arms. Art. 5.
In the interest of public tramps illity I find it expedient to
remind the public that it is forbidden to make a
noise, cry aloud, or whistle ' • whoever does not de-
sist on the first summons shall be arrested. Art.
6. In case of any disturbance of public tran-
quillity, it is prescribed that all persons not belong.
ing to the army, or not obliged by their office to aid in
restoring order, shall immediately retire into their
dwellings, in order to avoid being arrested as accom-
plices.. At night all the windows of the first stoma y mthe houses of those streets or squares where th
should the report of cannon

turbance occurs, must be

THE NEW SAXON INVASION OP IRELAND. The Galway
Packd contains a remarkable '
article in reference to what
it calls " the conquest pistecom " of Ireland by the
Saxon :—" The Saxon in Irel d
an may no longer be
regarned as a sentimental tourist sitting on the box-
seat of a mail-coach, with sketch-book in hand,
delineating the physical
appearance of the country,
and carricaturing the ' wild Hirish.' He is now a verit-
able settler, snugly located in every romantic spot along
our western coast. The fertile farms that have lain
waste for the last few years, from which extermination
drove the oppressed natives, and the houses wherein fa-
mine seized its victims, are being fast occupied by Eng-
lish and Scotch settlers. Whether they will, like the brave
old Ang,lo-Normans, become more Irish than the Irish
themselves, and resist the oppressions that drove forth
their predecessors into death or exile, remains to be seen ;
but some of the fairest portions of Ireland will shortly be
in the actual occupation or under the control of the Saxon
is a fact that can no longer be questioned. Every day
English speculators in Irish farming may be seen on their
way westward in search of suitable homesteads. The
facilities afforded by the operation of the encumbered
induced
estates court for obtaining purchrses in fee
