trians and Col. Arconi. The enemy, repulsed after having
lost six men and some wounded, retired into the fort of
Toblino, where be is surrounded, without hope of receiving
succour from Trent, where the presence of the troops is non-

tifications of this city are continued. On the 14th the Pied-

was expected with a column of regular cavalry. A
letter from Commesagio, of the 16th, says that

but that the following day a vigorous attack was ex-

all the best, the noblest, and meet enthusiastic of Italy.
Bodies from Naples, Rome, Florence, Genoa, and Turin,
arrive every day to swell the columns of Allemandi. This
general, by a bold and able inanceuvre, has taken up such
a position in the Tyrol as will cut off the retreat of the
Austrians, who have no other resource but to lay down
their arms. The positions of Trent, Rive, and Roveredo

impossible for the Austrian army to retreat. A corps of
volunteers of Italians inhabiting Paris, is announced u

are coming to put themselves under the commander-in-chief.
Allemandi is in possession of all the shore of the Lago di
Garda; the two steam boats are in his possession, as well as
several schooners and a great number of smaller Teasels.
The Austrians, terror-stricken My these bold movements,
retreat everywhere, opposing little resistance. The Princess

ROME.-The Epoca of Rome of the 13th, after
announcing the disturbance that took place there on
the 11th, adds that the civic guard made several
arrests on the occasion. All the rioters seized had
arms and money in abundance. The following day
precautionary measures were taken to secure public
tranquillity; but the disturbances recommenced;
persons were attacked in the streets, and their purees
taken. Cries of " bread" assailed the bakers' shops,
and when bread was offered to the crowd they de-
manded money instead. The energy of the minister
of police, and the excellent conduct of the civic guard,
soon put an end to the disorder. The whole affair is
? attributed to foreign intrigue.
