their flag, and will take up their station near the companies
of their arrondissements. If assemblages should take pleas,
under the influence of dangerous insinuations, it will be
knowp that the workmen of the ateliers nationaux have not
contributed to increase them. They declare with energy
and determination to defend the republic, the government,
and order, with all their strength. It would be well, I think,
to warn your chiefs of legions, in order that their presence
may be understood and approved.
By the advice of the Council of Defence, the go-
vernment has decided that the army of the east,
which is to assemble immediately round Metz, will
consist of three divisions of infantry, each of three
brigades, and a strong division of cavalry, consisting
of four brigades, one of cavalry of reserve, two of ca-
valry of the line, and one of light cavalry. The com-
mand of this army, in case of war, is reserved for
General Changarnier.
A further improvement has taken place to-day in
the funds, which is ascribed to the unanimity and
real shown by the National Guard, in support of the
more respectable section of the Provisional Govern-
ment.

Letters received in Paris this afternoon, contradict
the report mentioned in the journals of the morning,
that Pescbiem had surrendered. It is stated that Charles
Albert, after havin opned a brisk fire upon the
place, suspended the attaeck. This had treated much
discouragement, bat was motived, doubtless, by the
tardy conviction that the place was too strong and'
too well defended to yield without more delay
than the king thought it prudent to incur.
I His object in seizing Peechiera was to obtain • ,
point duping; for his operations on Verona, std in
part occupy the route to the Tyrol.
The following is the official report of the attack on
Peschiem, which took place on the 13th :
Head-quarters, at Poseohngo.
His Majesty, as general and chief of his army, wishing to
drive the Austrians completely from the right bank of the
!dincio, ordered to-day an attack on Peschiera.
The report that this garrison was composed putty et
Italians, and that the remainder was completely demoralised,
induced' him to attempt an attack with the field artillery
only, sustained by the brigade of General Bel.
After having got together eight obuviers, six pieces el
battering cannon, and six pieces of field artillery, our brava
artillery commenced with tour batteries, covered with the
trenches constructed the evening before to attack the ad-
vanced works of the enemy on the right bank of the Mincio.
The different companies of volunteers attacked these'.
works in Hank, as well as those placed on the left bank of I
the river. The angles dismantled, announced that our in- I
(entry could advance to the attack of the fortifications, and
his majesty appeared disposed to second the order of our troops, ,
but, foreseeing that, even an case of success, these works,
commanded by the enemy's artillery on the permanent forti-
fications of the citadel of Peachier,, would have cost too much
of our soldiers' blood,whichwould have been shed without • di-
initive result his majesty resolved to renounce this attack ; '
and after having, for form's sake, summoned the place to
surrender, he ordered to resume his first position to cams-
suit on more important affairs.
His Majesty has been extremely satisfied with the courage
and skill of his artillery, the enthusiasm of his volunteers,
and the order of his troops.
His maj.sty, always foremost in danger, remained several
hours exposed to the fire of the enemy, with the sons and a
numerous staff.
A letter from Botzen gives the following account of
the affair of Goeto, which we transcribe:
A corps of volunteers was formed at In ospruck, to protect
the southern frontier of the Tyrol from any attack of the
Italian volunteers. Some companies of the 4th battalion
of Chasseurs had tak,n a position near Goeto. Attacked
by a superior Picelmontese force, our brave Tyroliens made
an obstinate resistance, repulsed the enemy, and killed
a great number, particularly of officers. But the Pied-
montese receivingconsiderable reinforcements, their batteries
oped their fire upon us and on some Austrians who
werene with us, and we were obliged to retire, after blowing

up the bridge.
On the 9th, the enemy had di-appeared from our advanced
poste.
Marshal Radetsky has published a bulletin of the affair of
Ooeto, dated Verona, 9th April. It announces that the
Austrians were obliged I. retire before a superior force, after
having killed a great number. The marshal had ordered
20,000 men to advance from Verona to Villafranca, but the
enemy did not appear.
A letter, dated from Castiglione, the 9th April,
gives some further particulars. It says :
The Austrians, seeing the imposing appearance of our
troops, retired to the other side of the river, blowing up one
of the three arches of the bridge ; but the mine, badly pre-
pared, destroyed but one of the parapets, on which the
N'oltigeurs passed and commenced the attack.
The engineers soon re-established a bridge, under a can-
nonade of the enemy ; the division passed : the Austrians
were beaten, many of them killed, and two pieces of cannon
taken.
To-day the first division has attacked the enemy at Ihr-
ghetto, on the Mincio, at three miles from l'escbiera. We
shall take Peschiera, besiege Mantua, and then cross the
Adige. If the enemy meet us, there will probably be a
battle at Villafranca; and if he be beaten, be will retire on
Verona, his last hope.
Opinions differ as to the final operations of the army. We
wish it to finish by a regular siege of Verona, which will
deprive the Austrians of even the possibility of a capitula-
tion. Some think the mountains behind Verona should be
occupied, and thus cut off all communications with the north.
The Italie of the llth April disorganisede advanced
guard of the Austrian army, and dying
of hunger, does not exceed 32,000 'nen.
The Opiniane of Turin, of the 14th, gives further
particulars of the capture of the powder magazine
of Peschiera. The Milanese did not succeed in
carrying off the gunpowder, for, a large body of troops
being sent from the fortress, they had only time
to throw a part into the water and to blow
up the rest. They had to retire afterwards,'
and barricaded themselves in Castelnuovo, which
they defended for a long time. They then
cut their way through the enemy, regained the
steam..:, Maned. the night at Assisa, and returned to
Desenzano the next day.
M. Gioberti has addressed a letter to King Charles
Albert, declining to accept his nomination as senator
of Piedmont.
The sup:eme regency of Parma publishes a letter
from the duke, dated l'arma, 9th, in which he accepts
the resignation of the regency, and leaves the
magistracy of Parma to form a Provisional Govern-
ment, till the result of the arbitration offered to King
Charles Albert shall have decided the fate of the
duchy.
Official information from Venice, of the 10th, con-
firms a report that a body of volunteers, attackedl
a more numerous force of Austrians, had been obliged
to retreat to Vicenza, where a large body of crusaders
had arrived. The town is barricaded and well de-
fended, as a precaution against attack. Adviees from
Udine, of the Bth, announce that the Austrians who
were on the Isonzo, and occupying the line of Goritz,
had been ordered to march immediately. upon Trieste,
which was menaced by the troops stationed in Istria
and Dalmatia, who had all declared in favour of the
Italians.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF Tor STEELE, " IRELAND'S
HEAD PACUICATOIL."—Lest evening, an attempt at
suicide was made on Waterloo-bridge, by Mr. Steele,
better known as " Tom Steele, O'Connell's heed
pacificator." It appears that the unfortunate gentleman'
mounted one of the seats on the upper aide of the bridge,
and instantly plunged head foremost from the third arch
into the rival., but a waterman, who was crossing the river
in a boat, succeeded in rescuing him. He was immediately
taken to Bow-street police station, and from thence to
King's College Hospital, where be at present remains.
WhiLt in the reuivingroom of the hospital he expressed a
wish to be removed to Peel's Coffee-house. He also said
that he bad acted very foolishly in not waiting till it was
dark, as then he could have done the business effectually.
lie did not state what bad induced him to make an attempt
upon his life. That Tom Steele never like some others, made
agitation a trade, may be gathered fro\n the fact that when
he came of age he entered on a good estate, in the county of
Clare. Twenty years of amateur agitation brought him to
the Insolvent Debtors' Court. Having taken the benefit of
the act, he came to England, and has since been living upon
an allowance out of his estate. Ur. Steele took high
honours at Cambridge, and is a member of the senate of that
university. It was Mr. Steele who proposed O'Connell at
the celebrated Clue election, from which arose the Catholic
Emancipation Act.
