The Malta Times of May 17, says :—" The six
weeks' granted by the French Emperor to allow
Austrian vessels to quit French ports has been re-
voked, in consequence of a French and a Sardinian
vessel having been seized by the Auetrians at
Trieste ; and we understand that there is a French

that the conduct of Colonel Cambriela, who, at the
head of a battalion of the 74th, aided by the Pied-
montage cavalry, arrested the peeing, of the
Austrian columns on the 20th, was most heroic.
Hu gallantry has been rewarded. He is promoted

The Italian committee in Paris has received in-
structions to send no more volunteers to Turin, al-

in such large numbers in the positions they now oc-
cupy.

two-decker Princess Royal. Yea twat, the Mips went at
general quarters, practising firing shot, which was distinctly
seen from the shore. Ths liner Hannibal (gm of Bear-
Admiral Mandy) is hourly expected from Gibraltar. We
have now, In addition to frigates, corvettes, sad smaller
vessels, ten line-of-battle Mips in the Mediterranean all pro-
vided with screw machinery. The two-decker Centurion was
by lest ern:ante at Naples, the stem-frigate Terrible at ,1
Civita Vecchia, the gunboats Osprey at Athens, Wanderer

confirmed by the fact when we Mate that our Beet in the
Mediterranean is to be, and that very shortly, made up to
ninety-seven pendant., twenty-two of which ors to be line-
of-battle Mips. We have also good authority for easing
that the garrison of this island is to be raised to a strength of
at least 10,000 men.
