THE WAR IN ITALY.

ADVANCE OF THE FRENCH.
The Morning Post publishes the following des-
Patch, dated Paris, Tuesday night :-" On the
12th, the Emperor removed his head-quarters
to
Gorgonzola. In the afternoon, his Majesty
tonally superintended the throwing of two
kt:dges of boats across the Adda. The oper-
a, which presented many serious difficulties,
4r4,8 however perfectly effected. As soot as the
taidges were completed, the army began its move-
4efut, which was to have concluded on the I3th.
Lt.er some heavy rains, the weather has again
'ottle fine, and the troops are in high spirits."

4°I3ILISATION OF THE PRUSSIAN ARMY.
The Herald, in publishing the Berlin telegram,
4,Y8 six Prussian corps d'armee are mobilised. This,

course, means war. The advent of Lord Palmer-
t‘,().ll to power has evidently induced Prussia to take
decisive step, and to join Austria in the struggle
,Pint France. The English people will now per-

THE NEW MINISTRY.
i, The Post says the formation of the new cabinet
p4Preceeding rapidly and in the most satisfactory
lazier and it hopes to-morrow to complete the
kbi•
leation of the ministerial arrangements. The
44144Dertiser believes that, "after Lord John Russell
mcl accepted the office of Foreign Secretary, any
offered in the cabinet which he might prefer was
h"ered to Sir James Graham. The Right. Hon.
lrenet however, declined to accept any office, on
:ount of the infirm state of his health, but assured
rd Palmerston that he -would cordially support
tie
new ministry. The papers abstain from pub-
ting the rumours commonly current during a
N.
Clhisterial interregum. The Advertiser says that
rd Palmerston stated last night, to some private
rteads, that his arrangements are so far completed

abundance of ammunition and provisions. It seems doubt-
ful whether the Austrians will risk an action on the Adda.
It looks more as if General Hess, having taken the com-
mand, intended carrying out the plan he is believed
originally to have advocated, and retiring to the fortresseS
and the line of the Afincio. The allied army is reported to
be continuing its advance. A Milan paper thus continues
the particulars of the passage of the Austrians through
Milan, after the battle of Magenta :
"The troops entered by the Porta Vercellina, bivouacked
in the Piazza Castello, and, after brief repose, provisions
being supplied, they went out through the Tosa gate by
the Triviglio Railroad, and through the Roman gate on the
post road to Melegnano. The passage was continued and
incessant. In the brief interval the guns of the citadel and
of the forts of Porta Tosa had been spiked. All the baggage
easy of transportation was placed on carts ; but the citadel,
at nine o'clock, when the people entered it in confusion
with flying parties of Austrians, offered copious spoils of
arms, military effects and implements, flour and rice, and
even chests of coined money were discovered ready for the
pay of the garrison. Part of this was plundered; part was
saved by honest citizens, and delivered up to the munici-
pality. But this- pillage proved perilous ; the most
audacious, falling in with parties of soldiers who were
rejoining the retiring masses, were attacked by them, and
it is fortunate that we have to reckon only three or four
victims of an incessant imprudence.
"Up to ii a.m., in the interior of the city and towards the
Tosa and Roman gates, the Austrian battalions and artil-
lery filed through the streets, already adorned with tri•
coloured flags, amidst the shouts of the exniting populace,
which gave them a clamorous dismissal. It is only just to
' say that this armed multitude, on their departure, conducted
themselves with discipline and decency. Towards mid• day
some acts of violence of the people„ who began to assemble
and arm, occurred near the barriers at the various points of
departure of the troops, and not a few isolated soldiers
were disarmed and made prisoners, and many carts were
captured. The soldiers were all treated with the utmost
humanity. All the public offices, those of the Lieutenant-
Governor, of the Director of Police. &c., had been emptied
and and abandoned at daybreak. The Austrian
chief sub-
bordinates left with the troops ; the others escaped or con-
cealed themselves. The Municipality had been up all
night ; to its courageous efforts we owe the conservation of
the corps of the 82 firemen, whom the Austrians wished to
take away with them. The first decree of the municipality
was for the formation of a guard for public security ; but a
few hours later the head-quarters of the National Guard
was established in the Palazzo Marino. Towards evening
