The insurrection in Lombardy is con

that the king of Sardinia, at the h e ad o f
30,000 troops, crossed from Piedmont to
Lombardy, issuing a formal declaration of
war against Austria, and marched direct to
Milan. The Austrians fled defeated at ev-

The Italian Duchies are all in open in

In Baden, Wurtemburg and Saxony, lib- ,

people.
Th%triumph of the people of Hanover
is complete.
In Prussia, after the bloody scenes 'at
Berlin, the King had promised extensive
constitutional reforms,, but at the same
time plunged headlong into a dispute with
the Danes, concerning the Duchies.
Rolland has also exasperated Russia by
encouraging the Poles to erect an indepen
dent government at Posen.
Silesia, Breslau, and Lithuania, are in
an alarming state of convulsion..
There is a rumor that 50.000 Cossacks
certainly appeared at TiLset, and serious
consequences were anticipated.
The Emperor of Russia -his ordered

butiaso.--In Ireland the greatest ex
citement existed. Lord John Russel has
repeated his determination of applying the
whole power of government, in order to
suppress any rebellion in Ireland, but was.
willing to remelt any distresses that might
exist.
The students in Trinity College are arm
ing in defence of the government, and the
members of the Royal Dublin Society are
following their example..
Additional troops were arriving in Ire
land from England, and the Repealers in
the city of Dublin were equally erierene r getic. They are also,supported by the provinces,
which are electing delegates to the coun
cil of 1100, to assemble at Liverpool in de
fiance of law, to keep within the limits of
the recent convention act.
It was expected that Dublin would be
placed under the operation of the recent
arms act, and all pikes and arms purcha

The 'Repealers openly say that to repeal

tisfy their grievances ; that a republic is
the only remedy for the grievances under
which the country now groans.
It will he seen by the judicious reply of
M. Laniartine to the deputation of the
Irish to the French republic, that he is not
disposed at present to run the risk of a
rupture with Great Britain.
E NOLA N D.—The great Chartist demon

been forbithlcif by the English Govern
ment. All the preparations and arrange
meats. however, were going on.. 'rho car
riage to canny the petition and names is
in preparation, and all the various insignia
finishing.
The proelamtion issued, forbidding all
persons from unending the meeting, has
only increased the excitement and called
forth remonstrances front all sections of
the public press, even those hostile to
Chanerism.
'Phu Chartists themselves are determin

with more energy than was evident before
the appearance of the proclamation, and to
hold similar meetings in different locations'
on the day of the great demonstration, and
to carry no arms in the processions.

Naval preparations were going forward
in anticipation of an outbreak laritli China,

Our commercial advices describe the la-
'minable state of credit and commerce at? i
Calcutta, which the news of the ecnivul-1
sion in Europe, when it arrives in Italy,
can scarcely fail to increase.
FRANC R.—Remoustrancos have been
presented by the Diplomatic agents of Bel
gium, Russia, and Austria, to France for
allowing Belgians, Germans, and Poles to
make public demonstrations. spiral their
own governments.
Lamartine replied that France had not
intended to interfere with those .govern
ments, nor to deprive the subjects of those
Governments of the liberty of freely ex
pressing their sentiment.
With respect to the Poles, he is stated
to have boldly deelared 'that France felt
the greatest sympathy for their cause, and
would not be unwillinglo aid them to re
gain their nationality and liberty.
The wounded in the late revolution, re

Sraro.—A violent MUM le took place at
Madrid on the evening of the 28th ; the
people and the soldiery fought in the streets
from seven in the evening until three or
four in the morning, and a considerable
number were slain on both aides. The
cause was said to be a republican move
ment, and tt was wholly unexpected.
Courts martial have been held on many of
the prisoners, but no executions took place.
Queen Christina was said to have fled in
the conflict; Escossara, the Minister, was
shot in the leg,. and a Mr. Whitwell, an
English engineer, killed. On the 27th the
city was declared in a state of siege.
Tranquility has since prevailed, but the
provinces are excited to an alarming degree.
POLAND.—Prince Adam Czartoryaki
and other leaders of the last Polish revolu
tion, were at Cologne on the 26th, on their
way to Poland. 1
The correspondent of the Morning Chron-;
icle describes an enthusiastic, but dignified
public reception given to the Prince, by
the authorities and garrison of Aixla Cha
pelle.
. The Colonel of the Land wehr weal

and the happiness of all at meeting the Po

then embraced the prince in the name of
the whole Prussian army. The people of
Cologne and the authorities manifested
the greatest delight at the sight of him,
and the authorities placed a guard of lion-
or -at his hotel. He issued an address,
Claiming Poland to be free, unprivileged
and democratic, and departed for Posen.
The same writer says, that in the journey
by the railway, processions to the church
es were noticed in all parts of the country.
The whole of the persons employed on the
railway were armed with swords and mus
kets. •
Ressu.—lt is stated in the Breslau Ga
zette that 150,000" Russians are already
concentrated on the Polish frontier, under
the command of Prince Paskiewitch. It
is also reported that 30,000 have suddenly
been called to the saute frontier from Cau
casus.
The following manifesto of the Emperor
of Russia. has been published at St. Peters
burg. 'arid received with the greatest en
thusiasm :
"After the benefits of a long peace, the
West of Europe finds iteeU, , at this moment,
suddenly given over to perturbations which
threaten with ruin and overthrow all legal
power, and theovliele social system. In
surrection and anarchy, the offspring of
France, soon crossed the German frontier,
and have spread themselves in every di
rection, with an audacity which has gained
new force in proportion to the concessions
of the governments. •
This devastating plague has at last at
tacked our allies, the Empire of Austria
and the kingdom of Prussia ; and to-day.
in its blind fury, menaces our Russia—
that Russia which God has confided to our
care ; but Heaven forbid that this should
be. Faithful to the example handed down
from our andestors, having first invoked
the aid of the Omnipotent, we are ready '
to encounter our enemies from whatever
side they may present themselves, and with
out sparing our own persons.
We will show how indissolubly united
we are to our holy country, to defend the
honor of the Russian name, and the invio
lability of our territory. We are convin
ced that every Russian, that every one of our
faithful subjects, will respond 'Ruh joy to
the call of his sovereign. Our ancient
war cry for our faith, our sovereign, and
our country, will once again lead us on the
in the path of victory ; and then with sen
timents of humble praise, es now with feel
ings of holy hope, we will ell cry with one
voice, "God is on our side." Understand
this. ye people, and submit, for God is on
our side.
Given at St. Petersburg, the 14th of
March, in the year of Grace, 1848, and the
23d of our reign."
A letter In the Schlesisher Zeitung. of
the 23d ult.. confirms former reports of tbe
concentration of a large army of Russian
troops close to the frontiers of Upper and
Lower' Silesia. They - consist chiefly df
Cossacks and Cilia:lolms. The same pa
per also confirms the rumors current of
disturbances in the Russian part of Poland,
especially at Warsaw. .
GEN. SCOTT AND THE COURT OP IN.
QUIRT—The following just and forcible remarks
upon the spectacle exhibited in the appearance of
Maj. Gen. Ecutt before the Court of Inquiry in
Mexico, are taken from the New Ortems Deka, a
. -
piper, which though neutral in politics, is edited
by gentlemen •known to belong to the Democratic
party, whose political opinitnui frequently protrude
themselves abovelhe.independent current which
they generally endeavor to maintain. We men.
lion this bias of our contemporary to give its due
force to the impartiality of the following graphic
vindkation of the late General-in-thief of our gal
lant army in Mexico :
THR COURT OF INQUIRY.—Like a noble
lion at bay, worried but not intimidated by
the snapping and barking of the canine
pack let loose upon himby some royal hunts
man, the Commander-in-chief of out army
is presented to the twenty millions of his
admiring and grateful lellow-citizens, in i
i the attitude of a criminal on trial in the
hostile capital captured by hie genius and l
valor. Those who hare been instritinen-i
tal in bringing about such a mortifying
spectacle as this must place a very low es
timate upon the character of our people to
expect that it will elicit from them any o
ther sentiments but those of the sternest
I rebuke, the most scorching, withering, au
nib Hating acorn and indignation.
The people's hearts are not yet so sear

so blunted, or their patriotiiim cooled down

indignity has been offered to the national
glory—a stain cast upon. our escuteheon. 4
a dark page added to on e r history, which
only the loud and unanidious voice of the
people can expunge and Obliterate.
The sober second thought of a noble and
grateful people will pronounce the trial of
Winfield Scott, under the circumstances,
and thedismissal or pre-acquital of his ac
cuser. without a parallel in injustice, in
sordid, calculating cold-hearted ingratitude.
it his no - redeeining or patating views t
it his not the shadow of an excuse, react
on. or justification. It stands alone, a sol
' itary case in our history at least, of a sue
, easeful General being tried for doing his
duty, for defending the glory of our army
and country—tried by his junior officers,
in the very scene of his noble exploits—
.and made-torstaird , there r before the world;
the target for the low hate and cunning of
intriguants whom his favor hail warmed
into existence, and whose malice, other
wise impotent, government patronage had
supplied with a sting.
This auituds-ia-suffieiently-huatiliating
in any view, but when it comes to that
point, that Wm. J. Worth can rise before
a Court Martial in the City of Mexico and
hurl in the teeth of Winfield Scott the ap
proval of his conduct by the Government,
and the condemnation of his Commander
in-Chief, it passes the bounds of human
patience, and makes us sick at heart.
And who is tha officer with whom the 1
government has taken sides against Win-1
field Scott 1 Is he the same who abandon-1
ed his post, on a punctilio, when our ar-
my lay uuder the theatcning cannon of the
enemy ? Is be the same who, whilst in
this city, spoke in terms of contempt of;
the noble old General by whose magnani- !
mite. with the aid of Persifor F. Smith's
skill and generalship, he was enabled to re-
gain his position in the army ? Is he the
same of whom the patriotic Gaines decla
red in this city, when informed of In s re
signation, that he looked upon hint as a de
serter in time of war 1 Is he the same (of
ficer whose conduct at Puebla was pro
nounced by Generals Quitman, Twitrgg,
and Smith highly prejudicial to the hon
or and safety of our army 1 Is he the
same officer who waked up one morning
a staunch Democrat, when he bad always
been a Whig before, and as suddenly be
came the friend and ally of another officer,
who, before this, had been the constant
theme of his ridicule and abuse i
If this is the officer who has been put
forward to taunt and insult Winfield Scott,
we think the choice is an admirable one.
That noble old commander, who, through
out the trying scenes of an unequalled
ampaign, stood so nobly by the flag of
cis country, and devoted himself with sin
hle-mindedness to the glory of our whole
grmy, is fair game for those who, in all
aheir deeds, reeked not of aught but their
town selfish ends and personal aggrandize
ment.
But still, if the blow was to be atnek by
such an arm, we would have preferred
that another scene than the city of Mexico.
had been selected for it. We would have
preferred other witnesses of such a degra
dation than the enemies of our country—
those enemies who, conquered by the va
lor and skill of Winfield Scott, would find
some solace for their ignominies and mis
fortunes, in a malicious joy over the blow.
thus aimed by power at the chief, whose
strong arm bad prostrated them. They
should have ordered Scott to Washington,
and there a Court, surrounded by political
iatriguants, might have conducted its pro
ceeding to any length and to any conclus
ion, without eliciting much attention or re
spect from the people.
There are some persons who endeavor
to prejudice the position of General Scott,
by dwelling on the warmth of temper dis
played by him, who. unable to impeach
the truth" of the facts alledged and proved
by him, strive to weaken their effect by
harping upon the testiness of his temper,
and the imprudence-of his language. This
is a desperate resort. The people, how
ever. are not wont to expect great patience
and moderation in a gallant officer, so bad
gered and persecuted as General Scott
has been. Andrew Jackson. though sel
dom wrong, was not very mealy mouthed
in his language toward, those who crossed
the path of his duty. The people suppor
ted and justified him. And so the people,
in spite of the puny efforts of the partisans,
will excuse in Winfield Scott; even stron
ger language than any he has yet used in
designating the conduct of those who
brought upon -the country the shameful
scene now exhibited in the Capital of Mex
ico:
POLITICAL WlBOO3l IN GOTIIAL—In
the course of a speech made at the New
York Clay Binh-day Festival, some aspi
rant for oratorical fame, called Tomlinson,
put the question to his audience whether
'they had rather be defeated under !learnt
CLAY than victorious , under any other
man ? And the response, we are told,
..was a thundering Yes P Any one would
hardly suppose it possible that one thou
sand such fools as responded affirmatively
to this idiotic go cation could be found in the
Union, and Yet it is perfectly in keeping
with the signs of (Tisdorn ever exhibited in
our larger cities, and especially in New
York and Philadelphia. If Mr. Clay
should be nominated, we sincerely trust
that he may keep out of the hands, and
scorn the counsels of men who court defeat
under him in preference to victory under the
thousand other true-hearted andnoble-mind
ed Whigs who do honor to the Whig par
ty. They are in a fair way to prevent
his nomination, and if he should be nomi
nated, nothing but the good sense and at
tachment to principles of the Whig party
elsewhere will prevent hie defeat.—Al

THE Nt)MlNkl'loy FOR PRESIDENT.
—The time fast approaches when the nomination
for the Presidency by the Whig party will be
made; when the man who is to he the Whig
standani.bearer through the coming canvass will
be selected; and, as every good Whig must, we
feel a deep interest in, •"who is to be the candi
date !.. We have our fears that public opinion is
nom being manufactured by our nominating city
brethren, and that the current is being turned into
a channel that is dried up, and from which those
who prefer prinriples to men can see but little good
likely to accrue. We do not wish to speak in
embittered or offensive terms against the proceed.
ings of any of our Whig brethren, but it does
seem to us that the adherence of some of them to
a man is likely to prevent the establishing of our
prinripla, or, at least, seriously to endanger the
bright prospects of success now before us. We
are unable to nee how, with the same candidate,
we shall be more likely to succeed now than we
were in '44. The same determined hostility and
partizan rancor still exists, and it is evident that
a candidate becomes weaker with ever', defeat. It
is true, that we were defeated by a combination of
illegitimate circumstances ; but it is equally true
that with the same candidate, those same circum
stances may again occur. Now, why risk a de
feat, when we have a man whose nomination
would bring certain victory I—and against whom
the cries which would be raised in the event of the
other candidate's nomination, would find no force !
In Gen. Scott we would have a candidate who
would inspire confidence; and without confidence
it is madness to think of success. He unites the
two essential qualities of an unsurpassed popular
ity and an ability that cannot be questioned.—
He would silence the guns which the opposition
are preparing should another be the candidate, and
carry the election by sympathy and principle.—
We hope that wisdom will prevail in the councils
of the Convention, and that we shall be presented
with a candidate whom we caa elect. It is but
poor play to fight for the fun of being beat, and
warn policy to sacrifice our ptinciplcs to a feeling
of pride. Let the press speak out before the meet
ing of the Convention.--Lebanon Courier.

are divided between Geo. &met, Judge M'Lean,
and Mr. Webster; but as the nomination of the
latter germs improbable, - the writer thinks that

Gen. Pillow plead not guilty, and positively de
nied any and all knowledge of it prior to its ap
pearance in the public prints.
The first witness, however, that was called to
the stand, (Mr. FRILA Ea, the well known corre
spondent of the New Orleans Delta,) places the
redoubtable General in rather an awkward predica
ment, by swearing positively that Gen. Pillow had
furnished him with a duplicate copy of this same
"Leonidas" letter, with interlinestions in the Gen
eral's own handwriting, accompanied with the
most urgent solicitations that he would forward it
to the "Delta," fur puli:ication. This Mr. Freaner
declined to do, in consequence of the inacuracies
and misrepresentations oldie letter, and the glaring
injustice which it did to Gun. Scott and the other
officers of the Army, and finally handed tho docu
ment to Gen. Scott !
Jr. Ta:sr, who went out as Mr. Pull's special
Commissioner to conclude a Treaty of Pace, fol
lowed Mr. Freaner, in support of the latteea testi
mony, and in the most hitter denunciation of Gen.
Pillow. He said that he came out to Mexico
with preposrisions in favor of the General, as the
intimate friend of President Polk, but a familiar ar
quaintance with his character had converted these
prepossession* into the deepest disgust and con
tempt. He admitted, that unit after learning
Gen. Pillow's trite character—his 'low craving af
ter distinction:* his “happy facility in departing
from the ways of truth," his - schemes of imposture
for passing himself off upon the country for a skil
ful general and an able commander,' and his,
'laughed attempts to make the witness an scrota
phce and tool in these schemes of villainy and im
posture,'—he (Mr Trist) had written a letter
home to Mr. Buchanan, and other political friends,
cautioning the Administration against urging the
confirmation of Gen Pillow's appointment as
Major General, and declaring that the confirmation
would oily scree to involve the Senate in a dis
grace—a deep, damning disgrace—which no earth
ly power, or all earthly vowels combined, ran
avert
Gen. Pillow attempted to relieve himself from
this unemiable position in which he is necessarily
thrown by this evidence, by getting a Paymaster
in the army, named Burns, to swear that he (Burns)
and not Pillow had written the Leonidas letter.—
The cross-examination, however, by Gen. Scott,
went to impeach the veracity of the witness.
Generals Cadwallader, Smith, and a bomber of
other witnesses were subsequently called to prove
the utter falsity of the representations in the Leon
idasletter. Gen.Cadwallader testified that he was
present on the field where Gen. Pillow claimed to
have killed a Mexican officer, but-he saw nothing
of it. Gen. Smith testified that in the battle, at
which Pillow claims to have given all the orders
and to have directed all die Movements of the
troops, he knew of no other orders than those giv
en by Gen. Scott, and that, in reality, Gen. Pillow
did not reach the ground until after the contest had
been decided in favor of our arms!
And this is the General, remarks the North A
merican, be it observed, who is the creature, the
favorite, the ipet, the million of the President of
the United States ; Of that President of the United
States who sent to Mexico the Court of Inquiry—
before which the favorite is stripped so ignominious
ly of his borrowi , d plumes--to disgrace and crush
General Winfield Scott, a hero sot of his creation—
a soldier who learned theart of war not in a coun
try court house, but amid cannon, and bayonets,
and blood, on twenty fields of baUlo—who never
commanded in battle that he was not victorious,—
who never wore a trophy which be had not won—
who never coveted or deuied a laurel achieved or
deserved by another—the hero cot two wars—for
.Scott was a hero at Niagara, thirty-four years ago,
—and who, stepping out of the past into the pre
sent, a complete warrior in his ancient harness,
went to Mexico, not to write but to fight; to plan,
to march, to charge to storm,—to drive IheMcti
cans out of their strong holds, to occupy their
cities, to capture their capital, to overthrow and
utterly subdue them, to the "peace" Which be had
been sent to "conquer."
These are the two heroes of whom we meant to
speak,—the one a thing of leathers and epaulets, a
'counterfeit presentment' of a general who wins ,
renown by writing letters, or procuring letters to
be written for publication, in his own praise, and
is honored therefor by the President; the other a
great captain, worthy to be compared with the
mod illustrious history, whose name will be
identified, thenothrth, through all lime, with the
glory (Whim country and the recollection °Maxi
co, and who ill rewarded for his great 'Me in that
leuntry---11 the mime President who honor, Gen.
PilloW--by the disgrace of a removal from his

Portungtely forjustice, fortunately, at least, for
Wintlekl Scott; there is a tribunal, above , that of
the . President, which• will decide the important
question as to the relative merit& of the two heroesr

,(Pa.) Reporter, in an ar
ticle on thip Presidency, says r." Although the
name of Mr. Clay is to coati before the Conven
tion with a powerful army of influence, yet, we in
cline to 'think, from recent events, that Scott or
M'Lean stands the teat chance for the nomina
tion. We re i loire to know, however, that a few
brief weeks wsll put this vexed question at rest—
Until then, let the Whigs keep cool."

avow his political opinions, the editor remarks t—
"Although among the earliest of his friends, we

THE. WASHINGTON MOlL—Wearer,leas
ed to say that the mob, at Washington City, to
which we alluded last week as having threatened
to destroy the National Era office, on a sober se
cond thought resolved to abandon their purpose.
It is said that the President, finding that some of
the clerks in the Public offices were actively con
cerned in the disturbances, directed the Heads of
Departments to warn their clerks against 'tiny fur
ther participation : and that this had a salutary ef
fect in checking the mob spirit.
The matter was introduced into both Houses of
Congress in the shape of Resolutions of Inquiry,
—in the Senate by Mr. Hale, and in the House by
Mr. Palfrey. Protracted and violent discussions
ensued in both Houses, without any thing being
accomplished.
Most of the runaway Slaves have been sold and

SCOTT'S RETURN.—The N.O. Pica
yune warmly urges that the reception of
this distinguished Horo, upon his return to
his native land under circumstances so
strange, and in some respects so mortify
ing, should be pf a character to make him
forget the wrongs done him by the govern.
ment whilst he won fame for the couritri..
It says:---..We are sure that it will require
no elaborate preparation to give him such
a reception as will make his heart glad
within him. He has earned all the respect
and esteem which can be shown him, and
it is only necessary to make arrangeMents
eo that the public can testify their regard.
without confusion, and he receive the con-.
gratulation of his countrymen with as lit
tle inconvenience to himself as may be.—
He comes here under the shadow of offi
cial dlispleasure. • Stripped of his com
mand, his sword taken from him; his sub
ordinates momentattly triumphant; he is
brought home almost a prisoner. These
circumstances are well calculated to in
crease the enthusiasm of his welcome, did
public feeling need adventitious aid. But
were he basking in the meridian of power;
came he here a voluntary visiter to his na.
tive country; were he yet the idol of those
'who were wont to hold him first among
men, he would 'find open arms and wart
hearts whither soever he might go. We
have not alluded to the unpleasant relations
that sprung up around him with a view to
eke out a demonstration by infusing into
public gratitude the ingredients of popular
sympathy. We have spoken of them be
cause they obtrude themselves upon the
mind unbidden. When Gen. Scott arrives
they will be lost in the emotions which hie
presence Will inspire; for he is a man to be
admired for himself alone, and applauded
for the greatness that is in him."
TRUIT UNDIKR ARREST.—We learn fro m
the last number of the N. 0. Picayune re-
ceived here, that Mr. Freaner, the bearer
of the treaty, took out orders to Gen. But
ler, which have led to the arrest of Mr.
Triet. It is said he was to leave the coun
try as soon as he had given his testimony
in Pillow's case. When this was made
known to him, 'friar protested in a long
letter, which, of Connie, will not avail him
if Gen. Butler hat the orders referred to.
This man, Trist, has played an eventful
part in the Metican filminess; Sent as the
confidential friend of the President, and a
vowedly hostile to Gen. Scott, he has chan
ged sides, and become the steidfut friend
of the latter. The former he doss not hes
itate to denounce es he desetlekr: lie his
negotiated a 'frosty, and havieg falfilkid
his mission, he now shame the fitte of the
illustrious Scott, and is seat home under
arrest.
