Ljeuteuant- Marshal Count Strascldo, in his

the severest state of siege upon Milan, plainly
admits that The bulk of the population took no
part whatever m the late insurrecti0n. Ra-
detzky in his subsequent proclamation of the
9th inst, dated from Verona, subverts the
statement of his inferior, and takes advantage
of the rebellion TO obtain money under false
pretenses. He subjects all persons not notO-
riOusly belonging TO the Austrian party TO lines
of unlimited extent, for the benefit of the garri-
son. In his proclamation of the llth inst. he
declares "that the generality of the inhabitants,
with few praiseworthy exceptions, are unwil-
ling to submit to the Imperial rule, and he in
structs all Judicial authorities, lie. the courts
martial, to sequestrate the property of all the
accomplices, explaining this term in the follow
Ing manner:

He might as well have confiscated all Milan
at once under the pretense that, the insurrec-
tiOn having broken out on the 9th, les inhabitants
failed 70 denOunce il on the 9Th. Whoever

| Hspsburg shall be liable 10 become the lawful
| prey of the CrOat. In word, RaletZky pro-
claims new system of wholesale plunder.
The Milan Instruction is significant as a
symptom of the approaching revolutionary cri-
sis on the whole European continent As the
| heroic act of some few prOletarians-the sons OF
Mammon we're dancing and singing, and
feasting amid the blood and tears of their
DECEASED and crucifed nation-prOletarlans
who, armed only with knives, marched TO
attack the citadel of a garrison and sur
rounding army of forty thousand OF the
| finest troops in Europe, it is admirable. But

very poor result. Let us hope that henceforth
there will be an end of revolutions ilnpr0rsS6eS,
as the French call them. Has one ever heard

/ Theyare the same in politics as in poetry. Rev

terrible experience of Is and 40, it needs
something more than paper sumlnonses from

riority to his friend Mazzini as politician.
The Leader remarks on this subject
1--WE deem it necessary u caution our readers that
the matter in question lies exclusively between Mr..
Kossuth and Mr. Mazzin the latter Of whom is absent
from England"
Deiia Rocco. friend Of Mazzn says in
letter addressed to The Daily Ne;os, with re-

avOWas;

That the revolution isvctorious even inits fail
ures one may see from the terrors the Milan
hafour6e has thrown in the very heart OF con-
tinental potentates Look only at the follow
ing letter published in the official Frank fsrter
Ob6rpOStGmtS-ZCituHg:
berlin Feb l5-The events at Milan have pro-
duced deep impression here. The news reached the
hing BY telegraph on the 9TH ust as the court was IN
the middle OF ball. The King Immediately declared
that the movement connected with deep con
sruscy, which had It's ramhcations everywhere and
that showed the necessity for the close union OF Pru
sin and Antria IN presence Of these Revolutionary move
menie A high functlonary exclaimed We
may thus have TO defend the PrGssian crown on the
banks Of the PO''
So great was the alarm created in the first
moment that about twenty inhabitants of Ber
lin were arrested without any other cause than
the deep impression" The Neue Preysstsche
Zeitung, the ultra Royalist paper, was conGs-
Gated Tor publishing the document purporting
10 be from KOsSuth. On the 18th the Minister
OF Westphalia presented TO the first chamber
hasty bill for empowering the Government 70
seize all papers or pamphlets published outside
the frontiers of Prussia. Arrests and domicl-
lar visits are the order of the day at Vienna
Negotiations Immediately took place between
Russia, Prussia aud Austria, for joint remOn-
STRANGE TO be addressed 70 the British Govern
meat on the subject of political refugees. So
weak, so powerless are the so-called powers"
They feel the thrones of Europe vibrate to
their foundations at the first forebodings of the
revolutionary earthquake. In the midst Of their
armies, their gallows and their dungeons, they
are trembling al what they call the subyersiys
attempts OF a few paid miscreants."
Quiet is restored" Ii is. The ominous
and dreadful quiet that intervenes between the
first burst of the tempest and its returning roar
From the agitated scenes Of the Continent
pass to quiet England Ii would seem as if the
spirit Of little finality John had obtained the
whole of the official sphere for its dominiOn
as though the nation throughout had become as
paralytic as the men who now govern it, Even
The Times eIclaims with despair

smoke before the FIRE For the present it Is dullnes
Business has been resumed in Parliament, but
I'LL now the three times repeated bowling of Lord
Aberdeen has been the most dramatic, and the
only conspicuous act of the Coalition Ministry.
The impression Lord Johns programme has
made on his enemies has been best described
by the professions of his friends
Lord John Russell says The Times has made
speech with rather less spirit than ordinary auctoneer
would put into his preliminary remarks before sale of
old furniture, damaged goods or shop fittings Lord
John Russell creates mighty little enthusiasm"
You know that the new Reform bill has been
postponed under the presence of more urgent
practical reforms calling upon the more imme-
date attention of legislators. Now an instance
has already been given of what nature these re-
forms must turn out to be, while the instrument
