The Phdniontese Gov,tte of the 20th quotes a
bulletin of the 18th, anuouncing that the lire was
opened spinet Peschiera on that day. The principal
Week was directed against the outworks of Fort
31andells ; the batteries established on the pro-
longa.ions ef the sides began to weak. n its
defen”es with their fire. The fortress answered
the tire vigorously, but without effect. The same
paper quotes a letter from Modena, relating the fol-
"log particulars : On the evening of the 14th, a'
numerous public being ant mbled in the theatre, Sig.
Creme, who had emigrated in 1831, appeared after

It is reported that Count Lutsow, the Austrian ambles-

the stain of Waterloo. Who, then, can atop the torrent ? To
the sovereign who would alarm us with her fleet, nay '• Ire-
