In short, the day was won: sad if it be tree that a
victory of Montebello was intended to inaugurate
the arrival of the Austrian Emennia at Pavia, his
MAJESTY may, perhaps, be consoled by the reflection
that, like himself, two Russian Princes came to
witness Inkernienn and met with the same fate.
Every one remembers the famous despatch of a
French Marshal, in which he described a defeat as
r. L'or recunnoissance potash errs pelt troy loin," and
the Austrian General seems to have adopted the
same formula. Rut people will nevertheless con-
tinue to call things by their right names.
A battle hits indeed been gained, but the loss was
severe. Colonel Mori tu fell mortally wounded
from his horse alter the day was nearly closed.
General Bleats was killed by a spent ball at the
cl-se of the action, and other officers of rank
in the French army fell in the thick of the fight.
In feet, the Allies admit a loss of 500 killed and
wounded, whilst the loss of the Austrians is still en.
known. Such was the battle of Montebello; and its
importance is not trill nit. Though the accounts are
chiefly from the Allied side, it is clear that their num-
bers were greatly inferior, and that they fought with
brilliant and steady courage. Prestige is everything
to an untried army, sod this is now established.
Whatever is done by the Italians seems to show that
they are determined to sacrifice their all fur the sake
of independence, arid that they are worthy champions
of the cause they have undertaken. Nor in esti.
mating the sacrifices which the Italians, and amongst
them r ICTOIL EMI' 0: UKL, are prepared to make for
the liberation of the country, should it be forgotteu
that the Patriot King has consented to incorporate
his army with that of France, and to take the com-
mend of • mei,. 'tamer under the Frcuch Em-
EROR. Unity of command is the first essential of
success, but is the case of Allies it is the last thing
attained. In this Italian war it is already conceded.
The result seems to be that the eirreme right of the
Allies is now at CAseteggio, which they are fortifying,
so that south of the Po the Austrians have scarcely a
man upon Sardinian territory. About seven miles
north of the Po, and twelve miles west of Pavia,
Garlasco is occupied as the Austrian headquarters,
and no debt there are small parties thrown out in
front towards the Po. Again, at Mortars the
Austrians are in some force, for, according to &Turin
telegram of Monday, they had sppeared is great
force on the Eels, at Palestro, a town ten
or:lie :Firth-wait of Maims, and five milts
south-eut of Vercelli. However, it is clear that

west of the Stela there is not an Austrian soldier.
Whilst the French movements have cleared the
country south of the Po, General CIALDINI has
cleared the country about Vercelli, and even the left
bank of the Sesia by bis brilliant flank attack. Sar-
dinian territory, therefore, is to a great extent re-
lieved from the enemy ; and now that GARIBALDI,
having crossed at the foot of the Lego Maggiore,
stands in Lombardy itself with his four thousand
men, the Austrians must either concentrate their
detachments or send a force to attack and destroy
him. The fact that GARIBALDI has crossed the
Ticino shows that the Austrians have not so large
a number of troop' u to occupy the whole course
of that river ; it will enable the Allies to collect
most useful information as to the best places at
which the Ticino can be crossed, and the works
which have been constructed on its banks; and
already the people of Varese have seized the oppor-
tunity to raise the standard of revolt. Moreover, with-
out weakening the main body of the Allied Army,
it will disquiet the Austrians in their flank, compel
them to detach a certain force to protect themselves,
and thus weaken their main army.

THE WAR IN ITALY.

GARIBALDI IN LOMBARDY.

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS.

A telegram which Mr. Reuter has received this
morning from Berne states that revolutionary move-
ments have taken place in Lombardy. Bontemps,
the Swiss general, leaves Berne to-day for Lugano
with the staff of his division, and all the troops
under his command are to follow him.

According to telegraphic advices from the Aus-
trian delegation at Como, Garibaldi entered Varese—
a town close to the Swiss frontier—on Monday,
at 6 p.m., with 6,000 men, part of which force has
marched onwards towards Laren°. The population
at Varese had previously disarmed the small Austrian
garrison established there.
