/ MAzzIMs pamphlet the late. Milan outbreak, the
whole edition Of which recently seized at office in
this CITY, throws light the origin and objects of
that disastrous affair It would appear that the
ment did not originate with him, and that he doubted its
practcabity when first consulted the subject. He
yielded however the enreates Of Others who
thought the time had for another instruction and
wrote the proclamation at their instance He also wrote
to several distinguished Italian liberals for their
time in advance, but they all refused it, for
different Nevertheless he did what he could to-
have the seconded in other parts of Italy, but
without success Complaint is made thaS the rich among
them have generally refused their aid to the Italian loan
which, small in ITSELF made up Of contributions from
the poor, and adds with sneer that these wealthy pro-
preors snow expate their avarce with the forced loans
and sequestrations of Austria" Avarce indeed They
refused because they dsrus the WISDOM and have had
sad experience of the utter iasucency of the who
arrogates to himself the Office Of Dictator He confesses
in fact that the famous National Committee which
comprised many honored names had been reduced
himself and Sa alone, and that in consequence it is
dissolved.
Austria shows disposition to modify the decree of
sequesraon against the Lombard emigrees; somewhat
moved doubtless, by the Intervention of England and
France and the universal expression of public opinion in
Europe It's most searching inquiries into the Milan out
break have not yet revealed solitary fact to mpcae
any of the orderly class Of nonresident propretors
who unusty struck by it. Count REcHsERa, who
recently been charged with the administration Of civil
affairs in Lombardy, is gentleman Of high character
and he has ndicated his claim to it by the exercise of
justice and humanity various public positions. lie is
now at Milan investigating the and inquirng into
the political conduct of the nauralzed citizens Of Sard
MIA who hold property in Lombardy and it is said will
limit the seauesraon to those only against whom specific
charges be maintained Iventure predict that not

The revelations and confessions Of Ma1zin in the pamph
referred have doubtless enlightened the Aus
tran Government the subject for they show clearly
that the responsible friends Of reform Italy
been utterly opposed all such wild schemes Of reform
ever since the Of Is4s and actually did vhat they
could prevent the Milan affair Of February G. which
was made the apology for the decree Of sequesraon

q violation of all international law.
Both Houses of the Sandman Parliament have passed
the bill appropriang 1000 francs for the present
lief of the families who robbed Of their by
it, but Of the number has asked for u sous, and
probably not one will be taken. The highly appre-
ciaed expression of public sympathy but the hon

reasonably hope that their viii be restored
through the intervention Of Count REcHBERG.
The departure Of the Russian Envoy from CONSTANT
nop consequence OF the Sultans refusal Of his exorb
tant demands gives rise much conversation political
circles but weinformed in this quarter Of
Europe anticipates any breach Of the peace.
The demand Of Russia which the Sultan refuses

ties which its subjects belonging to the Greek
church. Of which the Emperor Of Russia the pro-
tecorate enjoy in virtue Of frmans and concessions

The veteran Vienna diplomatst, MErrERSIcH recently
sad with characteristic point, is impossible in
Europe just now" This is doubtless the truth. Most
certainly no European Power viii dare to the
sponsibty Of kindling fire which would expose the
continent to all the ncaloulable consequences Of gene
