ITALIAN REVOLUTION.

The Italian journals and a mass of correspondence
have arrived today. Those of Turin are to the
4th, and of Milan to the 2nd ; and, although the
latter are not later in date than some accounts we
have already received, they supply, as usual, vari-
ous interesting details in which the first advices were
deficient.
Melancholy reports are received from Verona. The
city was abandoned to the ravages of the Austrian
soldiery
After passing the Adige, it was announced to be
the intention of Charles Albert to force, if possible, the
Austrians to an engagement under the walls 01 Verona.l
He intended to besiege this place. It was ex-
pected that the field of battle would be
between the Adige on the north, the road between
Verona and Peschiera on the south, the height of
Bussolengo and Sin Giustina on the west. The
king, with his staff, wouid take up a position at
Bussolengo on the Adige. Mantua would be kept
in check by the Tuscan and Neapolitan troops, and
by Durantio, who was expected with the Pontifical
troops. The garrison a Mantua is not strong.
With respect to the affair at Bussolengo, the Noll-
velliste dts Soar of Marseilles, of May 5, states,
on the authority of some advices from Milan, that
the 1,600 Austrians who were separated from the
main body of the army had laid down their arms.
The Semaphore of Marseilles of the sth of May,

Some travellers state that a letter thrown over the walls
of Mantua, and picked up hy the besieges, announces that
there only remained 10,000 Austrians in that city. The
unhappy inhab•umts are xpo.ed to a thousand vexations
and mint cruel treatment on the port of the garrison.
