ITALY.

Despatches were yesterday received from Sir FREDERICK
ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles.
The despatches were brought to the Foreign Office by
CONTINI, the Italian Messenger, who left Ancona on the
18th instant, at which time that town was in the possession
of the Provisional Government, having surrendered by
capitulation on the preceding day. All Italy was in
arms ; and the tricoloured flag is hoisted in almost every
direction northward, and in many places to the south of
Ancona. There had been some! skirmishing at Ancona, in
which about forty persons had been wounded, seven of whom
mortally. This affair happened on the 17th; and in the
vening of the same day, the following act of capitulation
was subscribed by GUISEPPE SERCOGNANI; Cay.
CORNELIO SIJTERMAN ; and 'G. FABRIZJ, Delegate
Apostolico.
PROCLAMATION.

BY THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF GOVERNMENT
OF THE DISTRICT OF CESENA.

CESENATI.—VaIiant citizens ! You cannot but be proud of
having marched amongst the first, and as the van-guard of the
Italian legion, that has rushed to check the progress of
despotism, which struggled to oppose itself to liberty, and
to the regeneration of the finest portion of Italy. Your
grievances have existed through a long period ; but, new
circumstances having arisen, denying the past, you shall at
length participate in that glory which your brethren have
attained. To us it is delightful to share it with you.
Emulate it, and swear anew, that you will live only for the
preservation of that liberty, which you have secured.

ADDRESS BY THE GRAND CHAMBER OF PESARO,

TO 'f HE LEGION OF CESENA.

The committees of Urbino and Pesaro, rejoice to appear
in the phalanx of Cesena. Your country is celebrated for
the great crimes of its tyrants, and the great virtues of its
citizens. You have sown and nurtured with your blood,
the plant which shall cover with its shade the fine country•
from Sinigaglia to Bologna. Who are they in the Citadel
of Ancona ?—A handful of trembling slaves.
The valiant Mtn/TEST, and SE RCOG NAN I, will lead
you to cause the tricoloured flags to float upon the tower of
Sanciriaco. From thence you will hasten to the new Bas-
tile ; and yuu will relieve from thence, not only your towns-
men, but likewise our brethren—the unhappy victims of a
ferocity now impotent. On your return, we will sing glori-
ous hymns to our Country, Victory and Liberty.

accompanied by E. Liberati, Knight of the Legion of
Honour, the Captain of Artillery, E. Migliorini, Knight of
the Iron Crown, anti Captain G. Bassiznani, Knight of the
Iron Crown and in consideration of the brave defence made
by the garrison, which surrendered only through the abso-
lute and notorious want of provisions, not only in the for-
' tress, but in the city also ; and to avoid n useless effusion of
blood, have agreed upon the following articles :-
Ist. Religion, persons, and private property, whether of
natives or foreigners, are placed under the protection of the
laws ; and of the constituted authorities ; which rests strictly
promised by the Chevalier Sercognani, on his word of honor,
for the besieging army.

o'clock, the garrison of Ancona shall leave the fortress, with
military honours, with arms and baggage—the retiring troops
being allowed two six rounders and lighted matches.
3rd. The said garrison shall form in battalion, with its
officers, in the Strada di Ossimo. Then the soldiers will be
interrogated what cause they mean to espouse; those who
wish to follow the destiny of the garrison, shall be at liberty
to do so; and those aho may desire to remain in peace, shall
not be prevented therefrom ; so that on both sides, they
shall be permitted freely to follow the cause they have chosen.'
4. That part of the garrison which shall have chosen to re-
tire within the Pontifical States, shall be provided with
proper passports, and be accompanied by an officer of the

whereby they may be furnished, either with provisions or
with quarters, ter men and horses, during the journey ; and

they shall have to pass. It is agreed upon, that it shall
march, in a close column, under the command of its officers ;
and in no contingency can it separate, nor occupy, at one
time, different places.

ritory still subject to the Pontifical Government, it shall be
restored to full liberty; and then the Colonel SUTERMAN is

The news of an irruption in Savoy, by a body of five or
six hundred Italian and Piedmontese refugees, is this day
positively announced. It is added that that column has drawn
with them nearly two thousand National Guards of the De-
partments bordering on Savoy. This news has produced the
most lively sensation in Paris ; the public funds have been
affected by a fall of more than I fr.----Le Cmutitutionnet.
We are assured that the Ministry has been informed, in
the course of the day, that the Austrian forces which were

marching upon Modena, have received the order to ausPeoci
their march.—Le Constitutionael.

The news from Rome is confirmed. The first cause of
the rising of the population in this last city was the arrests
without number which had been made, during the conti-
nuance of the Conclave, from the suspicions of the ltc,men
Government. The people went in a strong body toward,
the castle of St. Angelo, and opened the gates to several
thousand prisoners; the assembly, encreased by this n(qt
force, determined upon a general movement. The tri-
coloured flag was immediately hoisted ; it was equally F,
upon all the other insurgent points; the rallying cry is
" Death to the Austrians!" The Papal authorities have NIL

are assured that the national guards of Romagna hav:. pro,

SPAIN.

The letters from Madrid of the 17th of February are full
of the recital of fetes given to M. Aguado. We find alsr.
that Ferdinand seeks to gain some popularity, by sliowintr
himself with his Queen, like Louis-Phillipe, at the halls
given by subscription ; but it appears that he is received
'in a very cold manner, and that he has declared that if
Russia does not stir he shall be obliged to give a Constitu-
tion, in order to avoid the fate of Charles X. and other
sovereigns. We are assured that he thinks of confidin;,
the principal ministry in M. Aguado, wishing, it is
said, to imitate the example of the King of th-
French, who has put a financier at the head of his Council.
At one of the balls, the Queen danced the second country
dance with the French ambassador, M. Count d'Harcourt.
This, however, did not hinder the Apostolics, and the French
emigrants, from announcing at the end of the next month,
the arrival at Madrid of the Duchess of Berry, of her son,
and Marshals Marmont and Bourmont. Probably the iatc
events in France may tend to change some of those plans."_
