• whom were a great Many ladies , several of high rank . The Prefect of Police begged the people to disperse ; "but they declared they -would accompany the bier to the cemetery . The , civil governor of Milan , Baron Burger , now- came up , and renewed his request , that the people would disperse . It was in vain , and the vast throng increased ; and having laid the tri-coloured cockade of Italy on the coffin , they burst into one loud shout of " Italy for ever ! ' " It was repeated on every side , whole road
and the cry was taken iip along the . And then arose other shouts of " Freedom for ever !" A few speeches were delivered , in which mention was made of young Dandolo ' s gallant deeds against the troops of the foreigner in i . ombardy , Venice , and Rome . After that , the crowd broke up by degrees , without committing any excess . In consequence of this popular demonstration , numerous arrest 3 have taken place , but several persons succeeded in escaping . The prisoners were conducted to the Castle , and delivered over to a military
comon . . A farmer near Payia , who had denonnced some refugees , has been clandestinely assassinated . The works of fortification along the Ticino , at Pavia , and at the environs , are carried on actively . General Gyulaiand staff have arrived at Milan . Letters from Xombardy speak in painful terms of the distress prevailing amongst the great bulk of the smaller landowners . It is on the cultivation of the mulberry-tree and the production of raw silk that they chiefly depend for support . But so exhausted are they , by the relentless taxation of the to cut
Austrians that thousands of them are obliged down , as a means of present subsistence , their mulberry-trees . Th 3 dreadful significance of this will be appreciated by all who know the country and the time the mulberry-tree takes in coming to perfection . The consequence is that the animosity and hatred of the rural population towards the Austrians are fast becoming as great as they are in the mural population . In fact the whole country pants for an opportunity of rising . The sons of the richer proprietors are emigrating to Piedmont , where they are entering , even as private soldiers , the ranks of the Piedmbntese army . - ¦
' JiOrd Cowley arrived at "Vienna on Sunday ; anS had an interview with the Emperor on Tuesday the iiext day a grand banquet was given at court in his honour . His departure for Paris is announced to take place this day ( Saturday ) . We . find the following statement of the objects of Iiprd Cowley ' s mission , in a Turin letter :- ^ - " Lord Cowley was to inform Count Buol , in a semi-official way , of the bases on which England is prepared to assist Jn establishing peace . As regards the Papal states , Austria is to join Prance in requesting Pio
Nono to accept the reforms as traced out in the memorial presented by Count Cavour at the time of the Congress of Paris ; the separate treaties concluded by her with the Italian governments , and -which are derogatory to their independence , are to "be considered null and void 5 liberal governments are to be . formed in each tltalian province upon the bases of the statutes promulgated in 1848 ; and Austria is to grant to Iioinbardy and Venice a government largely infused with the representative element , and almost independent , under the Archduke Maximilian , to be created Viceroy . "
jprussia . On "Wednesday , the Ministry , urged by the ro-Seated proposals of several states of the ZoUverein , ecided upon pi oposipg to the Zollvejein resolutions prohibiting the exportation of horses- on all the frontiers , without exception , ' A telegram from Berlin in . the Nord , dated February the 27 th , states that the projected mission of Prince Frodorlck William of Prussia to Vienna has been abandoned . The baptism of the infant Prince will take place on the 5 Hi of March- —a day distinguished in the Protestant ; Churoh of Germany by the donohiinatiori of Frledrich . Oh the Gth , her Royal Highness the Princess Frederick William will be churched in the Dom of Berlin .
The Prussian princess alluded to as the probable brido elect of the Prince « jof Wales , is Princess , Alexandrine , dnughtor of Prineo Albert of Prussia , A nd niece to tlio l ' rinoo Regent . The Princess is the foster child of the Quocn of Prussin , her parents having boon legally divorced at a time when she noedod oil tlie tender care of a mother . She is now staying at ) Itonio with her royal guardian , whither , if reports aro to bo trusted , the Prince of Walos has not resorted without some doflnito hopes of meeting this roost intimato friend of his sistor .

arrangements with the two Powers for the simultaneous evacuation of his territory by thie French and Austrian army with the least possible delay . The Eoman Government , it is said , has already taken measures for organising an army of 20 . QQ 0 Swiss , and that a negotiation between Queen Christiana and the Papal Government for Spain , to place at the disposal of the Pope two regiments of infantry and one of artillery , to be paid : by him , Js on the eve of conclusion . A regiment of Swiss Catholics is to be raised The native Roman army consists Of about 15 , 000 men .
SARDINIA . The congratulatory address which the King kas received from the National Guard testifies strongly to the wish of the people for a war undertaken to liberate the remainder of Italy . A letter of the 24 th , inst . informs us that preparations are being made on a large scale for the defence both of Genoa and the Gulf of Spezzia . A great number of deserters arrive daily at Genoa , coming from the frontier . They are almost all from the Duchies , and are immediately sent to Turin . The deserters from Iiombardy and Venetia arrive fromthe other side , and are more numerous . In execution of the law concerning the loan , the official Piedmdntese Gazette publishes a decree , by which the Minister of Finance is authorised to alienate by public subscription 1 £ million francs of the Five per Cent . Eente at the price of 79 .
A despatch from Turin says that a public subscription , to cover the loan , has been opened at the Bank . A large number of persons have subscribed , and it is certain that the whole loan will be covered , if not exceeded . . . ¦
on a division , voted the allowance by 196 votes to 14 . ¦ . . . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ . "¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ . . ' . Some journals having published a telegraphic despatch , announcing that an alliance offensive and defensive has been , entered into between Spain France , and England , for the defence of the Isle of Cuba , the siemi-pfficial J ^ o / as says :- — " We have reasons for asserting that this despatch is false . " Letters of the 23 rd mention that the corn question had for some da y s previously occupied the whole of the Spanish Deputies . In consequence of the extreme dearness of every article of food , foreign grain was allowed to enter Spanish ports during a part of last year , but that after that period vessels lad en with corn have only been admitted on condition of proving , that they had shipped their cargoes before they could have known tlie decree prohibiting its introduction . . Two conferences have already taken place at Madrid between the members of the Cortes , who are divided into Prohibitionists and Freetraders . At their meeting . the Freetraders spoke eloquently , and M .. Olozaga proposed the formation of a Commission to come to an understanding with the Government with the view of reforming the Customs' tariff , and thus , securing to Spa i n a more regular supply of cheap food . Tlie Commission was named , with M . Olozaga for President , and had a conference of two hours with the Minister of Commerce , who promised that the . Government would soon prepare a bill , and propose it to the Cortes , having for its object the admission of foreign corn at a duty sufficient to protect the agricultural interest of Spain . romuGAi ,. A telegram received on Thursday informs us that at Lisbon the question of a concordat lias been finally settled , and the right of nomination has been vested in the Holy See . The Chamber of Deputies are discussing the railway contract ; A violent speech has been made against Sir M . Peto by one of the deputies . It is expected that Sir M . Peto's proposals will be adopted . _
..-.-NAPLES . A letter from Naples , dated Feb . 22 , says , " The King still continues at Bari , and the Journal is silent as to the state of his health , from which I infer that it is in a very uncertain and unsatisfactory state . A very general impression prevails that , the King ' s heaith is in a much more precarious state than has been imagined . That his legs have been much swollen is , I believe , undeniable . A person writing from Bari says : r— « Since his" illness , his Majesty has not been able to occupy himself much , with public affairs . His nervous system is so . shattered that he weeps when spoken to . ' "
TDRJvEY ; Advices from Constantinople to the 23 rd February state that the appointment of the Minister of Finance has been revoked . A convention has been signed for the purpose of forming a new bank inXondon . Sir Henry Buiwer has remitted , a note to the Porte , in which he claims the fulfilment of the promise made by the Hutnayoum . It is believed that Sir Henry was acting in concert with France . There is a violent agitation in the Epirus and in Thessaly . The Divan and the Greek Patriarch are engaged in a dispute on the subject of reforms in ecclesiastical matters . '
sjsnyiA . ThePorte has declared its disavowal of the manifesto of Prince Milosch , in which he asserts his authority as an hereditary ruler . THE riWWCIPAMTI . ' BS . Since the last news , Prince Couza' has relinquished his project of uniting the assemblies of Wallachia and Moldavia at Fokscharii . " It is , however , his intention to address to the Great Powers a petition in favour of the union of the Principalities . The French Consul at Bucharest is reported to have arrived in Paris on leave of absence . It is very probable that « is journey has a good deal to do with the approaching conference on the double election of Colonel Couza .
TUB QBUMAN DIET . Tlio speeches recently delivered in the Hanoverian Chambers wore fiery and energetic . Most of the orators evidently delighted in allusion to Waterloo , and the strong ingredient of Hanoverian troops then tuicl there fighting under the command of the Duke of Wellington . The First Chamber has unani- > inously adopted the resolution of the Second Chamr bor , that Government should be requested to use its influence with the Federal Diet , if necessary , to repel with united Federal power , any attacks on Austria or other German States .
Bavaria has intimated her intention of requesting tlie Frankfort Diet to arm and provision the fortresses of tlie Confederation in readiness for war , Those places are . May once . Ulna , Rnstatt , Landau , Luxemburg , and Goniorsheim , which have been erected for the- purpose of pr 6 tecting Germany Against the French .
