This oirennistance, the/ efore,happentd almost arthe very sauiith Moment the King's as r. .sitranee, that he had no intention of doing so, i t cached Florence. The troops of the Oral - 4 hike have joined the Imperial corps which is in Tuscany under the command- of Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count Nu- In the mountains the whole population gent. . . Lai-e taken up arms. Accounts from Milan, of the 9th inst. contain the tollovving picture of the state of afflirs in ita)y " Here, as in every part of Italy, tranquillity prevailed ; and, thanks to the energetic precau tions of the Imperial Government, it •will not easily he disturbed by the events:Of the moment. The voice of the people is in favour of the pater nal governments which for ages have blessed the nations of Italy with prosperity and peace. Here, as in other countries which have experienced revolutions, there are persons whci would fain re new the periods of past sufferings, because they promoted tneir personal interest, Ina no-where is the number of such individuals smaller in pro portion to the,total.population than in Italy. • " The general voice• is decidedly expressed in favour of Peace. King Murat is hated because he has been, since the first Italian war, one of the • most active instruments for the ditfusion of uni versal misery. In the course of the campaign of 1814, the system of plunder of his army was very, . quickly organized ; now he calls qut:to the Vl storiAstes :—Be Italians and tale me for - your King! I-le-gives to the Princes the !mist solemn • assurances that he is, and wishes to continue, in the closest harmony with them all ; meanwhile he sends proposals to Buonaparte to share the possession of Italy with him; from Austria he demanded the re cognition of his rights; England he represents as ; upon a similar system fo u nded entirely , oddeception, he h o p e s a r least, to exene coMmo tions, to pavalyse all parties, and finally to turn .the hoped-for disturbances to his advantage. A More than suffident 'army, composed of choice troops of Austria, will speedily pia an end to . these machinations. • • " When this army received orders to coneen , trate it was direCted to take a position which would render any attack of the enemy upon indi vidual Corps impossible. With the exception of the brilliant action fought by' Lieutenant Field- Marshal 'he passage of the Fanaro, for the express purpose of a more precise know ledge of the strength of the enemy, there has been 'no esigagement whatever, because all the corps in advance fell hack, aL;reeably to the orders re ' ceivecl, upon the main army. The Neapolitan .• army, moreover, advances with extreme caution it every where distributes proclamations compos ed io the style of the most violent revolutionary spirit, and promising prosperity and bles:;ings to the partisans of Murat. This army and its pro clamations will soon be treated as they deserve, • im the spot to which itlas 'hitherto been suffered to advanCe. No where has the voice of one single CO7tinalne been raised in behalf of the King of Naples, and w sties and petitions for a speedy and safe deliverance are • daily pouring into the seats of the different governments front the provinces occupied or menaced by the enemy. " On the Bth Lord I3entinck, Commander in Chief of the. English troops in Genoa and Sicily., passed through Milan on his way to the head , quarters of General Baron Frimont, to concert with him on the subject of ulterior operations. England, as, it is well known, concluded in January, 1814, in her own - name and that of King Ferdinand, an armistice with Murat, with an agreement that _three months' notice should be .given on either side before the renewal of hostilities. By the attack of the. latter upon the Allies of England this armistice is annulled, and he is at war with England also. " The Neapolitan army is composed at present of 35,000 troops of the line, several corps of which are badly armed. All the fortresses of Up per Italy are garrisoned, and we look forward with the greatest composure to the offensive ope rations of the Austrian army. According to the latest accounts from Naples, the greatest care was taken to conceal from the public the possibility of a rupture with Austria and England. The senti ments of the people there. are the more averse to war, as together with the inevitable suspension of all maritime commerce, they would lose - all pro-- spect of any iudemnificatio n for the expences of the war." Si c ily and the Seven Islands preparations are strenuously making far operations against Naples." Letters from Mantua of the sth of April, state as follows : "In consequence of the approach. of the Nea politan troops to the territory of Modena, his Im perial Highness the Archduke Frauds quitted his capitol On Ole 3cl for Mantua; tt•itither his cbrisort ltad p'revliiiisiy gone.

Some , of the Nobility and of the Most respectable inhabitants attended l.'s Imperial Highness to Mantua. ',•‘ Ducal troops, consisting of one battalion of infantry, and one squadron of dragoons, have marched away with the Austrian troops and mani fested" the greatest zeal to meet with them the common enemy. ".0o the 4th, a Neapolitan nd'anced guard ap , peared before Modena, where the most profound silence prevailed. The . Neapolitan Commandant dispatched an Officer into the City to reprove it for not-having sent a Deputation to meet•him ! !!" SECOND AND THIRD EDITIONS OF THE SUN OF YESTERDAY. Two O'CLOCK.

THREE O'CLOCK. We again stop•the Press to announce the re, ceipt of Vienna Journals to the MI frOin which we gather the following intelligence : " ViENNIA, APRIL 14.—The Vienna Gazette of this clay contains a Proclan►ation of the Emperor of Austria, which commences thus ‘.

BULLETIN OF THE ARMY. " A Courier sent oil mm the 9th, by Baron Frirnont. : Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Italy, and .who arrived at Vienna on the 14th, brings intelligence that King Joachim bad moved his Head-quarters to Modena, •and alter many marches and counter-marches, prohably for the purpose of deceiving th e A us t r i ans , h a d di rected his main force upon Ferrara. This attempt, how ever, was frustrated by General Vou Lauer, coin- Tbanding there. Ou the Bth, the King caused, in his presence, several ;attacks to be made on our tote-de-pont at Occhio Bello, but his, troops were rep u l se d i v i th considerable loss. In the evening the enemy's corps was forced to a complete retreat. " Our loss in the successtul.action which took place on the 4th, on the Panaro,_ and the assault of the tete-de-pont on the Bth, is very ineonsider able General Stefani received a slight contu sion, vhich, however, did not 'prevent i,itu from continuing to command h is brigade. On. the Bth; the English General surd %Val. Bentitick had an interview with the General in Chief at Mantua. " The Austrian head-quarters were, on the oth, removed to Casteluccio, near Mantua." *TheNeapolitan Armyamounts to 35,000 troops of the line, some of which are badly armed—all the Northern Italian fortresses are well garrison ed, and we l oo k t o th e Campaign without appre hension. The troops of the Grand Duke of Tuscany -have joined the Aiitrians. MrLAN, Aram 9.—Lprd W. Bentinck passed. through here to the head-quarters of Gen. Fri mont, in order to consult on the future operations of the Campaign. By illurat's attack on Austria, the Truce of January 1814 with England, of the expiry of which three months notice was to be given, is broken, and now he must be considered as at War with E ng l an d th e All y of Aus-triti.

SOLESI Qtll9 DICERE FALSUM ALIDEAT LONDON, IrEDNESDAY, ,fIPRIL, 26, Ism We this day translate at length all the im portant matter contained in Vienna Papers to the 16th, which have been received exclusiiely at our Office, and furnished us yesterday with the intel ligence which we laid summarily before the Public in aThird Edition. We are happy to be thus enabled to meet the French accounts of the affairs in Italy, by official and demi-official details, which are bet , ter entitled to credit. According to the Corsican's Joarnals, his •brother MuRAT has obtained some half-do:im of glorious victories (though the places and dates are rather confusedly mentioned), while according to the plain and evidently true narra• tion, published at Vienna, it appears that to the 10th there had been only two actions, and even these of inferior consequence—the first on the Panaro (which rims into the Po) between Bologna and Modena, where, on the 4th, Gen. BIANCHI diSputed the passage of the river, by way of reconnoissance to ascertain the. strength of the;ene my ; the second which took place on the Bth at Occhio Belk, between 'Modena and Mantra, is the same _with the French action of St. Benedetto, where the Austrians defended a Tete-de-pont on one of the branches of the Po. General STE PAN:I received here a slight contusion, and the Neapolitan General Fit.A . OrF.rit, is said to have been mortally wounded. The French repasts say, that MURAT succeeded in passing the river, and this is rendered very probable by the Au strian accounts, whirl) Mate that all their divi- sioni were, ordered to avoid separate engage ments, and to fall back on the main- army and strong fortres:zes of the North. - These are the principal military transactions of the new war, wide'', kindled in Italy between the Postilion King of NArtrs and the Austrians, must of neci4sity involve all the Powers of Europe, even were there no offence, in the rebellion in France to bring on hostilities. But besides these affairs there was, on the 30th, a skirmish at Ce seua, where ArtittAT violated the territories of the 'Church. In fact, this true Buonapartistiseems to have no hesitation in invading neutral or indepen dent States. It will he seen from the able Expost4 of his conduct, dated Vienna, April 15,, that he has also invaded Florence, where General PIGNATE6.I arrived on the 6►b, while its Sovereign retired to the port of Pisa, though ki!uily invited by AlititAT to stay and be made prisoner! That Modena and-Fer rara have also been violated (at the latter, we rather believe, the Neapolitans received a check) ; and it is most probable that Parma, Placentia, and Guastalla have shared the same fate. Genoa will perhaps be spared at first, in order to avoid an in- stant rupture with England, but we trust Lord W. t3ExTrticx.tcill dt once act with vigour against the Common Enemy without waiting for further provocation. ' We observe with satisfactiOn, that the people of Italy, so far from aiding the impudent French man who invites them to -join his standard, to rescue themselves from Foreigners, are almost.sm animons in their attachment to FRANCIS the FIRST King pf Lombardy and Venice. 'A- powerful di• versionin Naples and Calabria will, we trust, expel him for ever from his Italian Kingdom ; and,if he fights his way into France, let him (it is but just) share the fate of BUONAPARTE. It is wjtti ,much pleasure we -learn from the best authority, that from recent and ample accounts of the Allieq, Forces, they are even in a much more forward state than Government expected.
