REPORTED INSURRECTION AT ROME.

PARIS, SUNDAY PN.
The suspension of the Chamber and the Bourse for
to-day leaves us without any domestic news of the
slightest interest. The capital has remained quite
tranquil, and it is the first Sunday on which we have
observed no processions, or allroupement,.
The proceedings of the National Assembly will be
found in another page.
According to thu Mani/ear, a revolutionary move-
ment took place at Rome on the Ist inst., occasioned
by the refusal of the Pope to declare war against
Austria. It is said that the ministry had been dis-
missed, and that a provisional government would 1w
appointed, if his Iluliness did not, within twenty-four
hours, yield to the wishes of the insurgent party.

We have received the Madrid mails of theist and
the 2nd, with the letters of our correspondent. They
contain no politcal news of general interest. '

ITALIAN REVOLUTION.
The following bulletin, issued from the Sardinian
head quarters at Santa Oiustints, on the filth of April,
appears in the Turin journals of the 3rd :
Today, in the presence of the king, the lint battle be-
ta.' n t4e,two anni,s of Italy has been fought. The end
ptan.osed was to occupy Thorroterige, Putrengo, aunt
Pions/Ana, held by the enemy, and to make ar-
regiment' to pass the Adige below Verona, if
Bred wire. The king, having resolved to dislodge
the enemy from the strong position of Paitrungo. from
which he made frequctit ex, unions ag tied our troops ou
the side of Peschiera, ordered General Sooner., commandant
the 2nd corps of the army, to attack this position with the
3,d division, compost d of the brigade of Savoy, the lfith
Regiment of Infantry, and the corps of Parma. by the heights
of S mta Giustina. The Pilmotstese brigade of Cola, and
that of Savoy, of the corps of Parma and Cuneo, were to attack
Pagrengo siroultaheonsly in point and flank. The brigade of
cavalry of the 2nd curls of the army were to form the re-
serve. The affair commenced at half.past 11 a.m. The
Italian troops attacked wigs imp-leaky and drove the
enemy from all its posit.ona which it occupied at Pastrengo;
our troops took pmsession of it, end now occupy all the
heights which command the Adige. The king, who
with his staff had watched ^ll these movements, entered
Pastrengo with his: staff at the same time as the
find column. Gin. Sonliaz, The Duke of Savoy, Lieut.
Gen. Count Broglie, Commandant of the Bth division, and
all the other officers, contributed to the ince; so of the day.
400 soldiers, and tire officers were made prisoners. The
enemy has many killed and wounded. Our loss is unimpor-
tant. This affair enures us ..treat advantages.
Letters from Milan, of the 29th, have brought some
additional particulars respecting the movemehts men-
tioned in my despatches of this morning. They an-
nounce that
An engagement took place between the Austrians and
the Piedmonteesetraps between Castelnuovo and Ponta,,
having a fortunate result for the Piedmontese. The De .e
of Savoy marched its this direction with 12,000 men aid
artillei, who opened a brisk lire. The two ite..m.hoats car-
ried away thirty-live wound, d. It was at Cola that the
hon. at of the affair took place. The Austrians made a
sortie from Verona, on the 29,n, to the number of about
2,400, to endeavour to reinforce Peschiera. They were
attacked by the Piedmontese between Catelnuovo and Pm-
Irene, and completely routed. They lett MGM than 200
dead on the field. The king intends to-morrow, the 30th,
to commence the assault on Verona.
The .Milan Gaz• tle, of the let May, says :
It appears that the Croatians of Peacciera have endea-
voured to make a sortit, en masse, protected by the art.liery
of the place ; at Sammie they were repulsed by the Italians,
and retreated on Peschierd.
The bulletin of the Provisional O ivernment of
Lombardy, of 30th April, announces that
The King Charles Albert lett Soinma Carepsina at nine
o'clock in the morning, for the purpose of concentrating
about 30,000 men of the third corps of his army. The
puoition was attacked on two sides and carried.
The enemy retired on Verona. leaving many killed, and
more then 300 prisoners, amongst whom are five officers,
Our army has suffered email lose. The enemy has taken
no prisoners. We hare, however, to deplore the death of
three officers, one of whom is the filarquis of Bevilacqua, of
Brescia, who only entered the army as a sublieutenant
yesterday. Pastrensto is occupied by the division of General
Broglie. It is suppoled that to-morrow the king will take
If usselengo.
