FRIDAY, JUNE .42, 1859,

ThE DAY'S NEWS,

The War news this morning adds but little to
that previously known. A despatch from Verona,
received by w.ay of Vienna, and dated Tuesday, says,
" the enemy has ettacked the vanguard of the 7th
corps d'armee, but their further advance was stopped
by the corps d'armee under the eomicand of General
Zobel." The telegram adds that a great number
were wounded. Another telegram, received by the
Times, dated Vienna, Wednesday evening, an-
nounces that Garibaldi has been i._driven back
from Sondrio to • the mountains, and adds
that 'General Urhan's troops were pursuing him.
This,despatch adds -that the only issue open
to h,invis Stelbio. This news is said. to :be official.
A correspondent at Vereelli, writing to the Paris
Constitaeional on the 30th. of May, announces that
a decisive battle was imminent. The Government
of Naples, it is reported, has,prevented the .exporta-
tion of sulphur. A letter from Paris, of Thursday's
date, says Signor Antonini has arrived there from
Naples, for the purpose of notifying to the French
Government the accession of Francis IL to the
throne of Naples. It is asserted he will also go to
London and Brussels for the purpose of making a
similar announcement at the. Courts of those .cites.
The Daily Nevis says the Hon.,lienry- Elliott left
London on Tuesday, charged with a special mission
to the Court of Naples. Mr. Elliot is minister at
Copenhagen, hut, being in England, !Lord Malmo.-

to act with great circumspection. The Paris corres-
pondent of the Daily
_News takes it for granted that
the new King of Naples is in the hands of Austrians.
The Globe says that the latest movements of the
French and Sardinians appear to indicate an advance
of the allied left and contra; on Milan. A soon as the
