LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

ITALY.

Letters from Rome of the 4th of August, represent
matters as assuming daily a more unfavourable and cheer-
less position. The conduct of a large faction of design-
ing, rather than enthusiastic men, has placed the city in
a state of considerable excitement, and has given rise to
serious apprehensions. On the Ist of August, the cham-
ber voted an address to the Pope, praying that instant
measures might be taken for the protection of Italian
independence, and stating, that it was necessary instantly
to enrol volunteers, raise supplies, and invite foreign aid.
This address tossed the upper house with slight appo-
sition, and was presented by a deputation in the evening.
An edict from the Pope, which was torn down by the
people. and not to be seen after eight o'clock in the morn•
ing, appeared on the 3d. This edict, however, and the
subsequent choice of a new ministry, appear to have pro-
duced more tranquility ; the guards were dismissed from
the Chigi-place, and the agitators broke up their sitting.
The new ministry was composed of
Corbolli Bussi, Foreign Affairs.
Count Fabbri, Interior.
Lauro Lauri, Finance.
Campello, War.
Galletti, Police.
Sturbinetti, Public Works.

THE WAR IN ITALY.

CAPITULATION OF MILAN.

Letters from the city of Milan state that during the
night of the sth and the morning of the 6th the King and
the whole Piedmontese army retired by the road to Turin.
On Sunday, the 6th, the Austrian army, very strong and
in the finest order, entered the city, and in a few hours
civil and military occupation was established. The utmost
silence prevailed during the passage of the troops through
the Corso and principal streets. The city has been de-
serted by all the nobility, many of the better families, and
by an immense majority of the people. On the morning•
of the 7th a proclamation appeared, signed by Field-Mar-
shal Radetzky, declaring the city and province of Lom-
bardy in a state of siege, stating that all offences against
good order would be tried by martial law, and nominating
the Prince Schwartzenburg military governor of Milan.
The greatest order prevails, both on the part of the Aus-
trian troops and the Milanese people. Not an offensive
word is uttered on either side.

The following are the terms of the capitulation, signed
on the.sth of August, by the Quartermaster-General of
the Army, Paulo Bassi, Podesta. of Milan, and General
Conde Salasco. chief of the staff:—
" 1. The city of Milan, shall not he injured.
2. Aw far as it depends on his Excellency the Field-Marshal,
he promises to maintain, with respect to the past, all the
indulgence that equity demands.
" 3. The return of the Sardinian army shall be divided into
two days' march, as had been agreed on with the Sardinian
Generals.

" 4. His Excellency gives free exit to all persons wishing to
leave the city:by the road to Magenta(to Turin) up to 8 o'clock
to-morrow night.
"5. The Field-Marshal is to'have the occupation of the Porta
Romans at 8 to-morrow morning, and the free entrance of the
army for the occupation of the city at noon.
"6. The transport of sick and wounded shall be made in
two days.
" 7. All these conditions are to be accepted by his Majesty
the King of Sardinia.
"8. The Field-Marshal demands the immediate liberation of
all the generals, officers, and Austrian employee at' present in
Milan." '

According to the letter of the 6th, from Milan,. the po-
pulace on the previous day became so enraged on hearing
that a capitulation had been made,, that they overturned
the carriages of the King's suite, constituted him a nominal
prisoner in the palace where he resided, and compelled
him to promise to break off the agreement and give battle
to the Austrians. The violence of the crowd was great ;
the most insulting language was used towards the King,
and several shots were fired at him. At three o'clock in
the morning of the 6th the mob who filled the Contrada
were so frightened by the discharge of artillery charged
with blank cartridge only, that they fled from the square,
and everything being prepared the King left the palace in
safety on the road towards Turin. The Archbishop of
Milan and the new PiSdesti went out to Field-Marshal
Itadetzky ; and the latter, in conjunction with Count
Salasco, the chief of the staff of the Piedmontese army,
and Gen. Hess, Quartermaster-General of the Austrians,
agreed on the terms of a convention, providing for the
departure of the Sardinian troops and the capitulation.of
the city.

LATEST FROM PARIS.
The Paris papers of Sunday announce the conclusion of
an armistice for 45 days between the Austrian and Pied-
montese armies.

At the conclusion of the sitting of the National Assem-
bly on Saturday, the Minister of Finance stated that the
subscription list for the last loan had been almost com-
pletely filled.

LATEST FROM IRELAND.

ARREST OF T. F. MEAGHER, M. R. LEYNEr

AND P. O'DONOGUE.

On Sunday morring, about one o'clock, these three
leaders of the rebels in Ireland were walking along the road
between Clonoulty and Holycross, when they were met
by a large party of police, who suspecting them, demanded
their names. They immediately complied, and were ar
rested by Inspector Madden in the Queen'ssname. The
Police fell in, one at either side of each prisoner, and they
marched them to the barrack at Rathcannon, about a mile
off, from whence they were soon after taken to Muria,
where they were brought before the resident m_i_igistrater
ho azlccd in the course of the inquiry whether lvlr. Mea-
gher intended to surrender himself. To which he replied
emphatically that he did not, and that he scorned the idea
of asking for his life, and that the only condition on whit;
he would ever have been induced to surrender
was that all the parties implicated in the movement should
have permission to leave the country. Mr. Meagher then
proceeded to write some long statement, which. has not
been• made public.
Gen. M'Donald then arrived with his staff, and ordered
the prisoners to be sent to Dublin. While a special train
was being prepared, the prisoners were supplied with
breakfast, and a change of linen ; they looked cheerful
and free from anxiety. They then proceeded on foot
to the railway station, under the escort of only about
twenty police, and the party proceeded on the line with-
out any interruption. The prisoners were in their usual
dress, and Mr. Meagher smoked a cigar on his way to the
station. They have been safely lodged in Kikmainhans
gaol.
The train had scarcely passed the station at Temple-
more when Mr. J. F. Lalor arrived there in custody of
two metropolitan police and a strong escort of constabu-
lary. He was brought from Nenagh gaol and sent on by
the mail train to Dublin, where he was placed in Nevigatn
gaol: Be has been brought for the purpose of being ex-
amined as a witness in the case of the "Queen v. John
Martin." His appearance is greatly altered for the worse.
He looks very haggard and dejected.

THE PROROSED SURRENDER OF THE INSURGENTS•
—The Dublin Packet of Saturday night publishes 5
letter from Mr. Meagher, and another from the Rev. J.
Mackey, both denying the imputation cast on the rebel
chiefs of making stipulations with the Government for
their lives. Mr. Meagher says that " the statement has
bitterly, most bitterly, cut hm, to the heart's core;" and
Mr. Mackey says that " his communication did not pro'
pose any advantage special to the insurgents."
ALLEGED AFFRAY.—The report published in some of
the Dublin papers of Saturday, of an affray at Abbey'
faile, turns out to be unfounded. All was quiet there,
and in the whole county of Limerick. The police are on
the trail of Mr. Richard O'Gorman, whose arrest may be
daily expected.

WEST INDIAN BANANAS.—A cargo of this delicious
fruit, in excellent condition, is advertised in retain
quantities in our paper of to-day.
In the House of Commons, on Monday, Lord Ashley
gave the following important notice :—That, early in toe
next session, he would move an humble Address to bet
Majesty, praying that immediate steps might be taken for
the subdivision, quoad sacra, of all parishes in England
and Wales, the population of which exceeds 4,000 souls.
THE IRISH SOCIETY.—The anniversary meeting of the
friends of this important society, for promoting the eau'
cation of the native Irish in their own language, will in
held on Monday next. Sermons will be preached a"
several of the churches on the previous day. The Be'
D. Foley, of Clonmel, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, and tb!
Rev. Dr. M`Neile will take part in the proceedings 8.!
the meeting. Every advantage should be taken of al;
present state of Ireland, for the purpose of imparting,.
her unfortunate people as much instruction as possibl
and this excellent society offers a very valuable means °
doing so.
