We have received the details Of the Milan
insurrection, which took place on the 9Th
ultimo. 1t is said by the Governmental pa
pers to have been immediately suppressed.

discovered, and spread through Pisa, Lucca,
Pescha and Pistoiaa The first citizens
have been arrested The hundred Of the
leading families have fed to the Canton Of
Tessino-tearing the vengeance Of the Co.
vernment Maazini is there-surrounde
by determined men. Our --latest news
states that the movement is complete fail
ure, but In the face of it we cling to the be-
lief that Italian liberty will still be fought
for, and won. The following are the Pro
clamatious of Mazzini and Kossuth. We do
not vouch for their authenticity but give

Wazzini's Proclamation.
The following proclamation was posted all
over Mllan and has been spread in other
parts Of Italy:
