this morning General Niel entered Novara after a
slight encounter with the Austrian outposts. The
whole Valteline is in insurrection.

VERCELLI, Wednesday.—The following are some
fresh details about the affair at Palestro. The Pied-
.
montese army, after having repulsed the enemy along
his whole front, was on its right wing for a moment
outflanked by the Austrians, who threatened the
bridge of boats across the Sesia, over which General
Canrobert was to effect a junction with the King.
The Emperor then despatched the 3rd regiment of
Zouaves, who, unsupported by any artillery, rushed
upon the enemy's battery, planted on the further side
of a deep canal, bayonetting or hurling into the
water the companies posted on our side of the canal
for the defence of the battery, and taking two pieces
of canon, and 500 prisoners. The Zouaves loss-1

Emmanuel.
