The declaration made last week by Lord John
Russell, respecting the legality of the Repeal
Association provided separation not advo.
Gated, from which 1t deduced that the
Government was making terms with the Repeal
party, has been considerably qualified by more
formal statement, by the Marquis of Lansdowne,
on Monday. His lordshIp upon being urged by
Lord Glengal and other peers to put down the
Repeal Association by renewal of the clause of
the bill of 1888, empowering the Lord-Lleuenant
ito suppress any association deemed dangerous to
the public peace, refused to sanction the clause
upon the grounds that the Repeal Association was
not now in existence, and 1t remained to be seen
what means would be taken to revive It.. His
lordshlp significantly added, that the government
felt satisfied with the extraordinary powers already
granted them, until after The opening of next
session, to Suppress any illegal or seditlous as
semby that power would be vigorously applied,
and he hoped 1t would be eff-ctual. We are
assured that the Repeal Association will not be
permitted to re-assemble under any form and it
is generally believed that Mr.. John O'Connell
will retire from public life.

The continental news still of deep Importance.
All the preiminaries for an active renewal OF the
war In the Duchies have taken place; but, with
the exception of slight sklrmish with the Prus-
sian ouiposts, near Haderseben, IN which SIX rus
SLAMS were killed, further hostllltles have taken
place. The blockade would recommence on the
18th, and we wait the next accounts with great
anxiety. The combined troops on the frontier al
ready amount to IL 900 men, and these Will speedily
be Joined by 10000 more IN reserve. General
Wrangel was expected to cross the frontier on the
18th inst.
The success OF the Austrian arms In Italy has
caused an active demand tor Austrian stocks at
Frankfort, Berlin, and other continental markets,
and rise in prices, on the presumption that the
event must lead TO negotiations and the conclusion
of peace.
Some trifllng disturbances have taken place at
Hamburger. .,
The Russians having retired within their own
territories leaves the Danuban prlncipalites with
out fear; and the Hungarian Croatlan question Is
expected to be amlcably adjusted.
The news from Italy OF last week will have pre-
pared our readers for the final evacuation OF
Charles Albert of the whole OF Lombardy:
Accordingly he was compelled to capltulate, but
was permitted 10 withdraw his troops across the
Ticino without further molestation. The popu,
lace, considering themselves betrayed, opposed
his withdrawal from the city, and he only con-
trived TO make his exit amidst the execrations OF
the mob, after having fired blank cartridges over
their heads In order to intlmldate them. The Sc
quel remains to be developed.
In the rneantipe. we deeply regret to learn
from authentic sources, that whilst Radetzky COM
smands Northern Italy from Milan, General Wei
den has crossed the 20, and has penetrated
into Romagua. He issued procldmailons, de-
claring that he would destroy any town which
offered the least resistance to his troops, as
he had destroyed Sermida and he advanced
without opposition as tar as Bologna. There,
having levied contributions, the people and
the tocsin was sounded. Considerable slaughter
ensued and the Austrans were beaten out OF the
town as Tar as MontagnOa FROM tnls spot me
Austrians bonbarded the town, witch was set
fire to; but the people again attacked the Austr ans
and took Montagnola by assault good deal OF
bloodshed has been thus caused, aud severe
check has been given to the further advance OF the
Austrians in the Papal States.
AT Naples the meditated expedition against
Sicily is still suspended until the return OF the
Neapolitan Envoy from London aud PARIS The
entry OF General Weldon into the Papt states ap-
pears TO be deeply resented by the Pope and the
people at Rome have been thrown lntn the great
est excitement. Some doubt is thrown upon the
sincerity OF the Pope but at any rate, the most
active measures ARE taking to reprl the Ausrlans,
and the Intervention of France has been solicited.
