The News,

The News;
The Cunard steamer Arabia arrived yesterday
from Liverpool, with late and very important news.
An instruction had broken out at Milan, but had
been suppressed by the Austrian troops. There are
various conflicting accounts regarding the emeute,
but all agree the fact of the failure of the revolu
tionisss. The conspiracy seems to have been wide
spread, and Mazzini and Kossuth have done every
thing to encourage the movement. The late Roman
Triumvir issued very spirited manifesto and the
Hungarian seconded his efforts in proclamation to
his countrymen in the Austrian army, exhorting
them to desert their ranks and join in the outbreak
Looking calmly and dispassionately on the whole
movement, we are decidedly of opinion that the
proceedings have been ill-udged and rash. 1t was
inopportune, and could not possibly have succeed
ed, for the concentration of the troops of the
despots along the Turkish and Italian border since
the outbreak of the Montenegrine war is stumbling
block to revolutions in Italy or Hungary. And
now that the attempt has failed, the Italian people
will be made to feel still more severely the pangs of
slavery From the other portions of the continent of
Europe the news is unimportant. In Great Britain,
the dizziness which hung over politics has been re-
leved by the opening of Parliament, and Lord John
Russen's declaration regarding the intended mea-
nent subject, and reform is promised. The Chancel
Tor Of the Exchequer reserves his Vdget till after
Easter. From India we learn that Pegu is to be for
nally annexed and measures to be taken to exc
cute that intention. The whole news is Of very in
teresting character, and wJbe found, e11enso in
another page.

The intelligence brought from Havana by the.

considerable interest We have commented upon
the news in another column.
Politicians continue to flock into Washington in
numbers that countless and the cry is still they
come" Should the tide continue much longer, there
will hardly be standing let alone sleeping room for
them in that city. We elsewhere give some inter-

Gen. Pierces acceptance of the office of President
