Austrian officers will not suffer Italian bate to subside. While
calls to a new combination of arms for the final expulsion of " the foreigner" are circulating in Italy from the Tyrol to the Bay of Naples, Field-Marshal Radetzky has called upon some two hun- dred families, specified by name, to supply him with two millions of livres; about half the sum to be extorted from four or five of the most illustrious. In other words, the Field-Marshal confis- cates the property of certain persons in order to recruit his finances. The Milanese talk of passive resistance to this par- ticular demand ; but we incline to presume that orders from 01- miitz will revoke it. Meanwhile, the signs of a good under- standing between the Princes of Central Italy continue. In Tuscany, we notice several trenchant administrative reforms under the popular Minister, Guerrazzi, The Italians therefore still have the support of their Princes, excepting always the " Lazzarone Paladino infermo."
