have very little news to transmit to you by the
present steamer, as few arrivals have taken place
here. wish, however, to recur to the remarks
made IN my last weeks dispatches relative to the
Italian question--a momentous one, and one on
which the peace of the civilized world depends
The cspitulation of Milan is confirmed, and that
city is now occupied by Austrian troops, and the
King OF Sardinia and the PIedmontese forces
have re-crossed the Tessln; Charles Albert being
employed in recognizing his harrassed and
beaten army. You will Setfull details of the ope-
rations of the Austrian and Sandman armies IN
the London papers, and you will likewise learn
with satisfaction that an armistice of forty-ive
days has been agreed upon, the basis of which is
the surrender of Peschiera and Venice to the
Austrans, and, In fact, stdtu quo ante beiitn,
the same territory being transferred to Austria az
was In possession Of that power previous to the
expulsion OF Its troops from Milan and Lombardy.
Thus tar. diplomacy has done something by put
ting stop 10 hostites for the interests of huma-
nlty and for the sake of King Charles Albert; and
II remains TO be seen, whether the Cabinet of
Vienna will be disposed to accept the terms which
1t Is understood have been offered by the British
and French governments.
There can be no doubt that the conduct of Lord
Palmerson has all along been weak and vaclllating
on the Italian question. He refused to mediate
when he could have done SO with positive advan-
tage to the Italian cause, and now seeks to offer
those terms to Austria which are likely to be re-
fused, but which would have been gladly accepted
when the Austrian army had sustained some re-
verses; 1t is not too much to say, that it is rather
unli kelly Austria will now elect to retire from a
territory which formerly belonged to her, which
was secured 10 her by treaty, and which she has
Just now reconquered All people hope, of course,
that French and English mediation may be sue
cesstu and that the horrors of war may be averted
be preserved-at all events, If the present conjont
proposals of France and England be insisted upon.
The subject Is beset with difficulty, and the occur
rences of the past week have not dispelled those
doubts which pervaded my communication Of the
llth INST The torty-flve days armistice will allow
time for negotiations and arrangements between
Paris, London, and Vienna, and ferventy hope
that the means employed will be successful
recommend to your particular consideration
the speech of Mr.. DIsraeli, in the House of Com
MONS on the 10th instant IN reference to this very
question. The Italian and Danish war is carefully
viewed by the speaker and brilliant and satirica
eapose is made OF the stupid and dangerous policy
OF Lord Palmerston. His lordships reply was
lame one, and you will necessarily come to the
conclusion that the difficulties and gravity of the
situation have not been moderated by me, and you
Will moreover affirm that the preservation of peace
in Europe, even now, hangs on a slender thread
The entry OF the Austrians into the Roman
States, and the bombardment of Bologna, have
much complicated the aspect of the negotiations,
nd 1t will be observed that the news OF these
vents produced a fall both in the English and
French funds.
The chartists are beginning to show themselves
again in London, and in various parts of the manu-
featuring districts In London, yesterday, nearly
twenty men were suddenly arrested-they were
well armed, and some considerable quantities of
arms and ammunition were discovered. The au-
thorltles IN London evidently felt alarm, and ex-
pected movement, because it is known that the
military quartered in Buckingham Palace, the
mint, Bank of England &c, were kept under
arms all night. and held ready to act in case of
need. 1t is supposed the charists contemplated
rising, and simultaneous seizure OF the public
edifces.. need SCARCELY tell you that warm re-
ceptlon is prepared for these rash and misguided
men, whenever they are foolish enough to attempt
disturbances, they have not shade of chance
OF carrying their measures by physical force be-
cause the friends of order, comprising the middle
and upper classes, are opposed to them. Some
disturbances have occurred at Ashton-u under Line,
and a policeman shot, and others wounded. The
English government is sorely beset with Difficult;
ties Ireland, in a state of quasi rebellion, and
only kept quiet by a tremendous force of 30, 900

done to the crops by continuous rains, added to
which, the almost general failure OF the potato
crop. This amentable state of affairs will induce
a great amount of misery and restitution amongst
the latorlng population in the northern and manu-
featuring districts, and | fear that the coming
winter may be marked by disturbances of Sc
nous character, induced by the sad condition of
the lower classes. In Ireland, the picture is fear
full to contemplate, and tar-seeing would be the

The steamship Jupiter arrived here on the 18th,
from Gibraltar, oporto, Lisbon, &c.. and her
dates were, Gibraltar, Aug. A; Cadiz, 5; Lisbon,
9; Oporto, 10; Vlgo, IL.
A false tranquility still continued to prevail in
Portugal but, IN proof of the information have
previously communicated to you from this coun-
try, and of the discomfort which prevails, I may
tell you that the news received by the Jupiter was
