ITALY.

RUMOURED INSURRECTION IN

MILAN.

The Constituzionale Subdpino of the 20th states
that a courier had arrived at Alessandria on the 19th,
from Milan, bringing intelligence that an insurrection
had broken out at Milan on the 18th, occasioned by
the tyranny of RADETZKY, who, alarmed at the differ.
ences which had broken out in his army between the
Hungarians and Croats, and fearing lest the former
should join the Italians, had undermined several of the
finest palaces, and declared his determination to blow
them up in the event of an emeute. He was preparing
to undermine the Cathedral, which so excited the
Milanese that they became furious, and exclaimed
against the workmen and the soldiers who wished to
defend them ; words led to blows, and the soldiers
were massacred. The town flew to arms. At the
last moment the tocsin was sounding, and the con-
fusion was indescribable.

The Austrians have, it is said, evacuated Rovigo.
The Milan Gazette of Oct. 18 publishes the text
of the capitulation of the fortress of Osopo, signed
by the Commander of the besieging troops and the
Governor of the fortress.

The Opinion of Turin publishes the follo wing
order of the day by Marshal RADETZKY, dated head-
quarters at Milan, October 12 :
" Soldiers ! or rather, my children ! for you have
often called me your father, scenes of blood have been
passing at Vienna. They have for their origin the
discord which divides our beloved country. The Mi-
nister of War, Count Latour, General of Artillery,
our old and brave comrade, has been murdered by a
band of people in a mad fury, but the Emperor and
his family are enjoying a satisfactory state of health,
surrounded by faithful troops. Soldiers ! Do not suffer
yourselves to be misled by false and lying reports. Con-
tinue steadily to follow the path you have hitherto fol-
lowed. I will never conceal the truth from you. Be firm
in your fidelity to the Emperor, and in your love to
the country which is equally dear to us ull. Reject
with indignation whoever may attempt to make you
violate your oaths, you, the conquerors in so many
battles. Your brilliant deeds have filled the whole
world with admiration. Kings and people have ad-
dresSed to me written testimonials of this. I have
made myself the guarantee of your fidelity and your
valour, and I feel that you will never belie me. Com-
panions in arms of my old age I We live in times of
difficulty, but the throne of the Emperor and our
country shall only gather from them the greater
glory. Never forget that we are children alone of
the same fatherland, and that they are seditious men
alone who wish to break the bonds which have united
us for ages. My confidence in you is full and com-
plete. I remain at your head calmly waiting for the
future, for we have not yet forgotten how to wage
war and gain battles. Long live the Emperor!
Our country for ever.

RADETSWT, Field-Marshal."

The Byrsenhalle of the 20th says, there is a report
that peace between Austria and Sardinia is nearly
concladed ; but that the Lombardians hate not
accepted the armistice accorded them by the
EMPEROR.

It appears from explanations given by the Minis-
ter of the Interior, in the Chamber of Deputies, at
Turin, on the 19th instant, that the bases of the
negotiations proposed by England arld France have
not been accepted by Austria, and that after two
months of diplomatic discussions, they have not
agreed even on the place where the Congress shall
be held ; that the armistice is only prolonged from
week to week ; and that if the mediation is unsuc-
cessful, the Government is prepared to renew hos-
tilities, choosing, however, its own time and oppor-
tunity.
