THE DAY'S NEWS

There is not much additional news with respect to
the state and condition of the various contending
Powers at the Theatre of War. There are one or two
more items with respect to the struggle between the
French and the Austrians on Friday, from which it
would seem, that which we published yesterday were
in the main correct. The French themselves admit a
fuss of between 500 and 600 men, and several superior
The Austrians, in their bulletin, state their
/oss to be probably about the same as that of the
French, but the French account estimates the
Austrian loss at 2,000. The victory, however,
remained with the French, for they have
200 prisoners and an Austrian colonel in their hands,
and the enemy retreated across the Po. The 7iines
remarks that the Austrians evidently fought well,
for they must have carried the town of Casteggio,
which had been occupied by the French, and
barricaded, before they could have arrived at the
Tillage of Montebello, whence they were eventually

9fficers

driven

The Austrians seem to have been in
the first instance successful, and only to have
been driven back through Montebello and
Casteggio when the French supports came up.

h is -Clairked on their part that they forced the

French to employ the whole of their force upon the
spot, and that the retreat was conducted in perfect
so-der. The result is, therefore, by no means decisive.
On Saturday a minor conflict took place on the right
wing of the Austrians, where the Sardinians, under
General Cialdini, forced the passage of the Sesia.
The Post says, it appears highly probable that not
many days will elapse before we receive intelligence
of some much more important engagement than
that at Montebello. It also adverts to the
diplomatic resources which the new Austrian
Foreign Minister is about to employ in order to
rngage the whole Germanic Confederation in active
co-operation for the defence of the Austrian power
in Italy. Austria is evidently commencing a new
diplomatic campaign, to which she looks forward
-with even greater hope than to her military efforts.
On Sunday the Austrians attempted to resist the re-
connoitering party in the direction of the Seisa, but,
according to advices from Sardinia, their guns were
awn silenced. A very extraordinary passage occurs
in the same despatch. It is thus :—" The Austrians
have shot an entire family of eight, in whoa) house
Austrian guns were found." Is this, or can it be,

true ? From all accounts nothing would have been
easier than to blockade Trieste, but any attack on
that port would be considered by the Germanic
Confederation as one of those acts which would
warrant a direct interference on the part of that
powerful body, and would spread the conflagration
beyond its present confines. The Emperor of the
French has, at least for the present, imposed upon
binaself a certain moderation in respect of the German
provinces of Austria. The French foerne,e

Italy amounts, it is said, to 150,000 men,
stated in a semi-official Paris paper, that the French
government has taken under its protection the
Zival flag of Tuscany. Hungary is in a state of
excitement, and unless some concessions are made by
the Austrian Government, revolution in that terri-

tory is imminent. Even the laungarians residing in
the States are in such uproar that there is a chance
of a company of them. forming, and leaving New
York to take a part with the Italians in the conflict
with their common foe—Austria. Kossuth, the great
leader of the Hungarians, in the War of Hungary,' in
1848, is about taking, or has taken, his departure
for the seat of war, for the purpose of taking ser-
-vice with the Sariinian King against the Emperor
Francis Joseph. How Kossuth can, reconcile his
conscience to fight on the same side with Louis
Napoleon, he whom he has so constantly reviled as
a villian and a murderer, is a mystery to us ; but
we suppose he has come to the conclusion that
the " end justifies the means." The Hord says that
the general command of the allied armies is ad-
mirably organised. King Victor - Emmanuel has
placed himself and his army under-the Emperor's
orders, as a simple commander of a corps (rarm.e.
From Athens, 12th May, we learn that demands
had come from Trieste to sanction the hoisting of the
Greek flag over Austrian bottoms, and thus foil the
French cruisers ; but the Greek Executive and the
Chambers scouted the request, and loud demon-
strations were made in favour of the Italian cause,
notwithstanding the Bavarian Court and Camarillo.
