The Milan Gazette of the 17th March contains an
address from Marshal RADETZKY to the inhabitants of
Milan, in which he says, " That being about to set out
from Milan to repel a fresh attack upon the territory
of the EMPEROR, and to carry the war into that of
his perfidious enemy, he advises them so to conduct
themselves for the preservation of the public peace
and good order that they may secure their own safety
and the favour of the Government, bidding them
recollect the fatal consequence of a different course
upon a former occasion. If, however, they should
trangress his ordinance, they must prepare for a
punishment not less speedy than severe (pronto non
men tremendo). He. regrets that he is forced to
address them thus, but he is compelled to do so to
prevent worse consequences." Public notifications to
the same effect have been posted up in the city.
The Gazette of the 18th contains an address from
the Marshal to the inhabitants of the Lombardo-Ve-
netian Kingdom, in which he says that the EMPEROR,
with a generous forgetfulness of the past, offers them
the most liberal institutions that any people could
reasonably desire, he implores them not to reject these
offers lest they may too late repent of having done so,
and then calls on them to behold the condition of un-
happy Rome and of unfortunate Tuscany, as a warn
ing for themselves, and finishes by telling them that
if they should follow such examples they must count
upon ruin and banishment.
One of the notifications constitutes a voluntary
municipal guard for the security of order. The com-
mand of the.troops left in Milan is confided to Colonel
HEYNTZEL.

The Alba, of March 19, says—" FRANCIS, Duke of
Modena, taking the opportunity offered by a renewal
of hostilities between Sardinia and Austria, has ad-
dressed a proclamation to his people, in which he
says he wishes clearly to state to his people that he
has confidence in the justice of his cause, and his
belief that the miseries which have lately afflicted
Italy are drawing to a close ; for this reason he will
not withdraw from his States, but will stay there as
long as his presence may be agreeable to them; he
cautions his friends and the public servants to remain
tranquil, and put their trust in Divine Providence;
he threatens those who would seek to disturb the
public tranquillity ; and, finally, expresses the
greatest reliance upon his troops, certain that they
will show themselves firm, faithful, intrepid, and do
honour to their flag and to Italy, of whom they are
the sons." The day after the publication of this pro-
clamation FRANCIS Duke of Modena fled from his
states.

The Austrians on the 16th evacuated Como. It is
