Intelligence from RADETZKY, of the capture of
Milan was received at Vienna on the 1 1 th. The
Marshal, in his dispatches, encloses certain commu-
nications which passed between himself and the
Podesta of Milan, prior to the entry of the Austrian
troops into the city. In one of these, dated Aug. 1,
late at night, the Podesta says—
#6 • * In conclusion, I must, at the command
of his Majesty, again direct the attention of the Field-
Marshal to the state of the city, and so turn the late
course of events that order may be promptly re-esta-
blished, and that there may be au oblivion of the past,
and the inhabitants and their property remained un-
harmed."

At nine o'clock in the morning of the 6th, the
Podesta of Milan addressed the following note to the
Field-Marshal, at San Donato :

" I intreast you most earnestly to accelerate the entry
of the Royal Imperial troops into the city of Milan as
much as possible, for the mob has taken advantage of
the time that the city is left without troops, and is com-
mitting excesses of every kind, which may easily be
greatly misinterpreted. I have the honour to assure
you, that with the exception of these few evil-doers, the
city is perfectly quiet, and is prepared to receive the
Royal Imperial troops in a proper manner. I entreat
your Excellency to give immediate attention to my re-
quest. " P. BASSIA,
" Podesta of the city of Milan.
" Milan, Al.g. 6, 1848."
Within an hour afterwards a second note was re-
ceived to the following effect :
"In consequence of the communication I had the
honour to make this morning, I now renew my earnest
entreaty that your Excellency will instantly dispatch a
corps of cavalry to Milan, for the purpose of maintain-
ing order; for I have reason to fear that the mob will
plunder the public banks.
" I must beg your Excellency to excuse my troubling
you; but the city, which has been confided to my care,
but which is wholly defenceless, may be mastered by the
mob, to the great injury of the well disposed part of the
inhabitants.

" P. BASSIA, Podesta.

FRA NKFORT.

The German Parliament, in its sitting of the 12th,
having determined that the districts of Trent and
Reveredo in the Tyrol should not be declared inde-
pendent of Germany, proceeded to discuss the Italian
question.
_ .

- The motion of 'the Committee was as follows (after
confessing its ignorance as to the mediatory measures
of England, or the demands of Italy, and expressing an
assurance that Austria was earnestly bent on concluding
peace as soon as possible):—" That all representations
and motions hitherto brought forward be referred to the
Central Power, with the prayer that it, through the re-
sponsible Ministry may with all speed acquaint the Na-
tional Assembly with the state of things, may promote
the conclusion of peace, and may make a declaration as
to whether it be expedient, in the present circum-
stances, to offer the hostile powers the mediation of
Germany."
Nauwerk advocated the relinquishment of Italy for
the sake of trade, for the sake of Germany, for the
sake of Europe.—(Cries of " Enough," from the right
and centre). They should not suffer France and Eng-
land to exert their combined influence alone in the di-
vision of Italy. Germany ought to let her voice be
heard too. Germany had to maintain the balance of
Europe. He moved that the National Assembly call
upon the Central Power to put a stop to the war. im-
mediately effectuating an armistice, and negotiating an
equitable peace for both parties.
Radowitz (Berlin) hoped they would allow him to
direct their attention to what intimately concerned the
interest of Germany. The state of things had been very
much altered by the victorious achievements of the Aus-
trian arms; and he hailed the prowess of that bravo and
victorious army with joy, remembering that it had
fought and conquered for them too.—(Loud cheers from
right and centre—the speaker was listened to with great
attention.) He looked upon these victories as German
victories, not only because he was a German soldier, but
because he was a member of the National Assembly,
whose sentiments ho believed, almost without exception,
accorded with his own. While, however, they were vic-
torious, they might perhaps have all the greater reason to
fear the intervention of other powers. 6611, they had in
their Central Power an effective antidote to this. The
north of Italy was of such vast importance to the main-
tenance of German independence, and Germany's secu-
rity, that he could not see how any member could dis-
pute this for a moment. Two points were to be con-
sidered—lst, Germany's material interests ; 2d, The
military security of its frontier. Without Venice,
Trieste and the coast country could not be retained.
The whole Adriatic, that mighty artery for Germany,
would be lost. If Upper Italy were detached from
Austria, Germany would have to plant its outposts in a
territory to which it could not now be driven back with
out a desperate battle. Its western defences, too, would
be so impaired that a third part of its territorial extent
would be lost without firing a shot. Italy must be theirs
as far as the Mincio, takingin Peschiera and Verona. He
hoped, however, that the Central Government might be
called upon, without delay, to promote a conclusion of
the war.
Heckscher (the Minister for Foreign Affairs) was pe-
netrated with the importance of the subject, and was re-
solved to effectuate such a peace as should secure the
honour and interests of Germany.—(Cheers.) At the
same time he abstained from entering further into the
subject ; and if he had to choose the motion that was
most acceptable to his feelings, it would be the one for
the reference of all the respective motions to the Central
Power, in the confident expectation that it would do
what its duty required of it.

The motion was finally carried.
Unterrichter's motion for uniting with the Germanic
Confederation, Venetian Istria, and the islands adjacent,
together with the district of Montefalcone, was disposed
of in the same way, by the recommendation of the inter-
national committee.
