March 31 at Borghesto, and April 1 at blignolo, led by
the Count 13isearetti, commandant under the Duke
of Savoy. The enemies troops before Mantua are not more
than 10,000 strong. The movement is spreading in the

had been organised to stop the passage of 3,000 Croatians and
500 horsemen, who had capitulated at Treviso and Ceneg-
liano. and who, driven from these two cities, had been
obliged to bivouac in the open country at two mile. on the
road to Palma. 12,000 men, commanded by Father
B troaldi, and having at their head four Capuchin friars, left
radically the Montebello road, and marched to the succour
of Mantua. The Austrians are concentrated near Verona,
because the Italian Tyrol cuts off their retreat.—Signed by
order of the Provisional Government, BnooLio.
Letters from Milan of let April say, the Provisional
Government has sent a deputation to Charles Albert
at Lodi, to present him an address, from which we 11
extract the following:—
Italy and Europe regard you, sire. You have given an
example hitherto unseen in coming to our aid without con-
ditions, in the name of national fraternity, to consecrate
your 'word to the defence of justice and right. You have
shown yourself worthy of the sentiments of Pius IX , the
first promoter of Italian liberty and :ndep. ndenee.
The Provisional Government of Venice has sent a
note to the government of Milan, in which it declares
that Venice intends to unite itself to the state of Lom-
bardy, accepting in advance the form of government,
either monarchical or republican, which the latter
might think right to adopt.
The French Minister of Foreign Affairs had re-

Dalmatia, the Frioul, and the Tyrol (Italian), had
given their adhesion to the Venetian republic.

ordonnance show with what impatience that district

Sicilian parliament in his opening speech, after giving
a brief history of the insurrection, says, that the com-
mittee general had applied to the British Ambassador

an arrangement should be—on the one side, the unity
