ITALY.

LOMBARDY. —The Italian mails have
the correspondence and journals of Milan of the 30t
Venice 27th, Florence 291 ult., and Turin the 21
inst. It was expected hourly that Pesch era would
surrender. It was closely invested both by land and
water. end altogether deprived of supplies and sub-
sistenoe. The passage of the Adige had been forced
at Pastrengo, alter au obstinate resistance. The King
and the Duke of Savoy commanded .in person. In
this conflict the loss on the Italian side is said to
have been inconsidetable.
The cotnmnaicatious with Bohan° are interrupted.
The garrison of Mantua sent out a foraging party o.
800 meu on the 28th, but were repulsed withioss by
Major Landucci, commanding a body of Toscana. A
courier from the camp of Charles Albert arrived at
Milan ou the 29th, announcing that on that day a
general attack was to take place on the whole line.
On the 29th Gioberti arrived at Turin, where he
was received by the people with great acclamations.
The Vienna Gazette, of the 2nd twit., contains re-
poets from the army of Marshal Nugent. The first,
dated Udine, the 27th ult., is aa follows:
The bait weather and rain render difficult the establish-
ment of a bridge on the Taglismento. I hope, however, that
the vanguard at least will succeed inpasaing to-morrow whilst
I march with the mein body from Codriopo. Some small
detachments have already pawed the Tagliamento in boats,
and have been well received by the inhabitants on the other
side. To lay the communications with the Tellathels was
opened, end a detachment wee sent to Tolls:teas°. The in-
surgents around Ponteba, to the amount of about 1,600,
have partly dieper.ed, whilst the rest have tied into the
mountains between the Tagliamento and the Ks.
reathian amid Tyrolean frontier, and probably with
the intention of joining the bands around Cadore. In order
not to leave any ot them behind to interrupt my much, I
allow the troops under General Baron Oorilutti to remain at
Venzone and Clemons. Latisana was occupied this morning,
and posts placed on the right bank of the Tagliamento,
which are placed in communication with the flotilla of boats
which I had hued out at Trieste, and which arrived tosday
at the mouth of the Tagliamento at Porto Bum and Legnano.
Our entire ice columns were therefore placed along the
Taglismento to the sea, and Osoppo and Palma Nova in the
rear closely blocked d. General Kudrafsky is cruising with
the frigate Bellona, the brig Montecuculi, and the steamer
Volcano, and other small craft, before Venice, no that that
port is effectually Jloek dby sea. The advance upon the
Plane and 'fr, visa will speedily take place by the completion
of the bridges near C. driopo.
The second despatch of Marshal Nugent is dated
Codriopo, the 28th, and states that he had arrived
there with the greatest portion of his corps, and bad
been obliged by the rain to put them in cantonments.
On the 29th he expected the rest ot the corps. The
vanguard brigade (Schulzig) had passed the bridge
on the Tagliamento, and probably occupied Por-
denone, from whence intelligence of their arrival had
not yet been received ; the field-marshal had also
advanced his left wing, which was still in communi-
cation with the flotilla of boats to Portogruaro. The
population was well iacoured towards the Austrians.
Deputations had already been received from several
places, and amongst others from Sacile to head-
quarters, bringing in their submission.
Accordir:g to intelligence received, the bridges over
the Piane have been destroyed.

GERMANY.
INSURRECTION AT TREVES.
PRUSSIA.—We have received our usual tiles of
newspapers. Our correspondent writing trom Co-
logne on the 4th says :
An estafette arrived this afternoon in-Cologne, bringing
the intelligence that the city of Trine was barricaded yes-
terday, and that the greatest excitement prevailed. It ap•
peers that • number of nos-commissioned officers had_
grossly ill.treaud, on the 2nd instant, one of the p-polar
candidates at the late elevion, which in 11 out of 12 districts
is that town terminated in favour of the popular party.
Late en Tuesday evening the townspeople and the military
same into e ,Vision. The latter made use of their fire-arms,
and several of the former were shot.
Our correspondent, writing further on the sth, says t
The accounts from Tut, ves continue to be alarming ; up to the
3rd inst. not less than 50 barricades were erected in the
town, which General Von Schreckenstein threatened to
bombard unless the insurgents capitulated. The ordinary
mail e, mmunication bet epee Trves and this city is
interrupted, and the letter-bag is now brought by
estafette. The Triers Gazette is not come to hand.
It has transpired that several soldiers belonging to
the obnoxious 26th infantry regiment had indulged iii
threats against the inhabitants of the above town, and
in denunciations of the new order of things. Some amongst
them hid even gone so far u to tear off the German cockade
from the hats of peaceful citizens. This imprudent conduct,
added to that of several rub-off cen on the previous day, ex-
cited the greatest indignation amongst the people and the
civic guard. The latter mustered about half-past 10, P.M.
on the night of the 2nd inst., and took possession of the cisy
gates, in order to prevent the return of the 26th regiment,
sad of the thlane, who had gong to St. Paulin. At 11, the
alarm-bell commenced ringing fur the first time this year.
An immense crowd proceeded to the lock-up house ant de-
manded the release of five soldiers who had been arrested on
the charge of committing a breach of discipline, by taking
the part of a popular candidate at the election and assisting
to bring him back in triumph to the place whence he was
•spelled by • number of non-commissioned officers. Some
of the troops stationed near the lock-up house fired on the
creed, and two persons were dangerously wounded, and
others slightly. The people immediately commenced raising
barricades, and continued at that work during the entire
tight. The Cologne mail carriage served to barricade the
Mite breadth of the Ileisch-strwe.
The result of the primary elections in the greater pert of
the Rhine province and in Westphalia, has been a very satis-
factory one for the catholic party. Clergymen and persons
belonging to Roman catholic associations have been retueltd
le numerous places. In one pariah near Milliliter the head
priest, his two assistants, and the sexton were returned, and
five clergymen in Warendorf. In many other places persons
in the most dependent situations of life have been elected.
It is scarcely necessary to state here that the elections alluded
to are in the primary degree, and that the persons returned
will base to elect the members of the next diet at Berlin.
The peasantry of Westphalia—a class which has numerous
grievances to complain of—express great disappointment at
the paucity of their representatives amongst the Iltahl-
manner. The Cologne Gazette of this night contains a lead-
ing article, in which the result of the elections in Rhineland
and Westphalia is referred to in no very satisfactory tone.
In Hanna the elution. have fallen upon moderate men,
able opposed to the radical and the retrograde parties.
The moderate and constitutional party at Berlin has
gained the victory over the radicals and republicans at t,e
elections just concluded. On the other hand, it is admitted
by the Cologne Gazette, that the working classes have suc-
ceeded in electing a great number of their fellow-operatives
as the electors in the second degree of the members of the
constituent assembly in Berlin, for such, the next Diet in
that capital may be called.
In a former communication from Berlin, I described the
surprise of the good people of that capital, when they
learned that instead of the national treasury possessing • re-
serve fund of some 30 millions of thalers, as frequently stated,
at indirectly, by former ministers in Prussia, it otey
sontained about 8 millions, one half of which, moreover, was
disposed of betorehand. Rumour, and even scandal,
were, of coune, busy wilt so promising a topic ; and. report
after report was indestriously propagated respecting it.
It has now transpired mat the national treasury
never possessed anything like the sum in question, and that
the former governments of this kingdom kept up the delu-
sion merely for the sake of maintaining public credit. As
they were reduced to such shifts, it is not surprising that
ministers felt compelled, as a last resource, to convoke the
first united diet, in order to obtain money, which, how-
ever, it did nut think proper to vote. The next diet will,
probabli be more liberal ; for the present ministers on their
side will 'be more candid, and, in fact, more honest, than
their predecessor,. Some lawyers—mere wags, no doubt—
are amusing themselves and the public, by attempting to
Drove that the former cabinets must either make good the i
sk
ive millions, or show how that " min " has been die-
d.
The Bishop of Luxembourg has been deposed by the
Pope, at least for the present. 114 Holiness is much die.

The intelligence from 1.01011 which reaches to the morn-
ing of the 2nd inst. is of the most melancholy and alarming
stare. Mieroelawaki has called upon the Polish inhabit-
ants of the entire province to join the insurrection. All the
Zak drolnh la in arms, and men and women are proceeding
towards the head quarters of the Piles at Milmlaes,
