LOMBARD Y.

The Milan Gaze& of the 29th states officially that
at the request of the French Minister to King
CHARLES ALBERT and Marshal RADETZKY the ar-
mistice had been prolonged for thirty days. RA-
DETZKY has addressed the following report on the
affairs of Italy to the German Parliament :
"It is not as conquerors or oppressors that we
have drawn the sword in Lombailly ; we have only
done so to defend our just rights. Nothing could have
prevented us from dictating the,terms of peace to our
enemy in his own capital, but we stopped our victo-
rious march on the confines of our own territory. In
acting thus, we wished to prove once more to the
whole world, and even to our enemies, that in success
Austria shows as much moderation as she exhibits
firmness in adversity. We do not bring to the people
despotism or oppression, but liberty—perhaps more
liberty than they know how to bear, consistently with
their welfare.
" German influence has been long established in
Lombardy, which has been long a fief of the German
empire, and thus it has passed into the possession of
the illustrious House of Austria.
" To renounce our influence over that country would
be to commit treason, not only against Austria, but
against the whole of Germany. I address these words
to you, gentlemen, to whom Germany has confided
the duty of establishing her unity, her position in the
world. Lombardy enjoyed unexampled prosperity—it
was the same with Venice, which, lately excited by
agitators to offer an obstinate resistance, rose against
the sway of Austria when we were attacked in the
midst of profound peace, with unheard of treachery,
preaching against us a real crusade, carried to such
extremity that the very name of a German was
enough to bring upon the bearer ignominious, cruel,
and barbarous treatment. Our cause was too just for
God not to permit it to triumph. I continue to
reckon on that Divine protection—l reckon, also, for
the future, not only upon the sympathies of Germany,
but upon her aid and assistance, should I require
for I combat not exclusively for Austria, but for t
Ger-
many and her wounded honour. Receive, gentlemen,
as will every true German, thebt

warm gratitude;have weight and

" RADETZKY, Field Marshal.
" Head quarters, Milan, Sept. 27."

We regret to have to mention the death of Mr. C.
J. Hambro, of the firm of Messrs. C. J. Hambro, Son,
and Co., of Old Broad-street. Mr. flambro had been es-
tablished in London nearly 50 years, and, dying at an
advanced age, he leaves a large amount of wealth be-
hind him. The firm has been engaged in active busi-
ness with Russia, Denmark, Germany, and other northern
countries of Europe. Mr. Hambro Js said to have com-
menced his career as one of the clerks of the house of
Hecksler, of Hamburgh, a firm of great consequence in
its day.
