ITALY.  It will be remembered that aM. Montanari was one of the last party executed at Mantua. Directly after the execution (says the Go:eters del Popolo), the government called upon his surviving brother, Count Montanari, to pay within 24 hours the sum of 27 thousand lire, the cost of seizing, trying, and hanging his brother, although the government had previously confiscated the estates of its victim.  The Parlamento of Twin announces that on the 27th ult. the Sardinian corvette San Giovanni, 28 guns, Captain Juccia, arrived at Villafranca, to take the refugees on board who are to be conveyed to America. They are 82 in all. The Piedmontese government gives thorn free board and passage, and ,Ofr. per head on landing.  ROME, Miatcx 24. Rome is jest now so full of sight-seeing foreigners, flocked together from all quarters of the world to witness the Easter ceremonies, that houses cannot be found sufficient to lodge them, nor carriages sufficient to convey them through the drenching rain to St. Peter's and the Vatican. The benediction of to-day wee a failure, on account of the unpropitious state of the weather, the vast piazza being comparatively untenanted by spectators, and the troops looking sadly bedrizzled; but the in-door ceremonies have been crowded to a frightful excess by ladies in black chows and veils and gentlemen in dress coats, from all parts of the globe save Rome, the Romans themselves singing " Sic yes non vobis" on the occasion, and qbtaining with the greatest difficulty tickets of admission to the reserved seats. The great attraction today has been the blessing of the oils, the washing et twelve priests' feet by his Holiness and his subsequent serving them at dinner, in imitation of the humility of Our Lord in performing those offices for the Apostles. The ifiserere, chanted by the Papal choir this evening and to-morrow, draws suffocating weds to the Siztiue Chapel. The Sacred Consults tribunal has published a list cl individuals condemned to death and the galleys chiefly for homicide through party spirit, being a continuation of the judicial proceedings against the terrorists of the legations in 1848 and 18111. The predictions so frequently made in the Roman correspondence of the Express with respect to, the effect which the Austrian occupation of Ancona,l Leghorn, and other ports of the Mediterranean and Adriatic not within the limits of the imperial dominions would have upon British commerce, have lately been fully verified by the endeavours of Austria to exclude us from Turkish ports in the Adriatic ; net will that exclusive system stop there if not at once checked by the presence of a strong British fleet. The idea of a rupture between Austria and Great Britain fills the government of his Holiness, as well as that of the King of Naples, with apprehension lest one of the first modes of annoyance resorted to' by England should be the capture of Italian ports on the Adriatic and the arming and rousing of the populace against the unwelcome imperial garrisons. populace against the unwelcome imperial gerrisoss. fo encounter such a storm in the present exasperated state of Hungary, Lombardy, Tuscany, and the Legations, without reckoning Switzerland, would somewhat try the recently restored military strength of the empire. An Engli ;h traveller has given umbrage to the Roman police, and is in iminent danger of being sent out pf Rome, without having time to obtain his Holiness's blessing on Easter Sunday. This is the Rev. George Nelson, who arrived hero from Corfu, via Ancona, three days ago, and has from some motive or other been so unlucky as to arouse the suspicions of the secret police. The authorities have been courteous enoughtto report the case to the British Consul, who will look into it, and not object of course to the expulsion of any one who may have given just cause for so unceremonious an act, at the same time that he will remonstrate against any such measures being adopted against a British subjet, either from caprice or calumny. Rothschild is no in Rome, and his visit is, as usual, connected with new loan negotiations. Mr Lyons, the new British Charg6 d'Affaires, has notyet arrived.
