ILONDA Y,

there is nothing =very
important in the War news this morning. Garibaldi
is making desperate efforts -against the Austrians,
and is zurging the Lombards to rise. He. has . done
more. -Crossing:the Ticino. at -Sesto Calendohe has
passed:to the south of the Lake of Varese, has seized
the town of Varese itself, and has arrested the
Austrian officials. Varese stands at the junction of
the roads froni Laveno on the Lago Maggiore, from
the Lake of Lugano, from Como. The Swiss Canton
of Ticino here ,projects like a bastion into Austrian
territory, -leaving -oraly a.narrow strip of hilly ground
between its eastern-boundary and the western shores
of the lAke.of Come.. Garibaldi hoped to raise the
diseontontod subjects of Austria in the district
on whioh hie • has --fastened,- to rally the refugees
who lurk .on the Swiss frontier, long the secret
hiding places of Mazzini, and seize Como. He, has
thus far succeeded ; he may now pass up the western
shores, of the lake,. and, reach the valley of the Upper
Adda, :by: -turning the northern end of the Lake-of
Como, The .whole of these districts have always
been ripe forravolt. In 1848 a revolutionary corps
maintained itself: there for,many months, and more
than a century before it was the theatre of a brisk
partisanwar,--earried on by the' Duke of Rohan in
the French interest. :Garibaldi's object is therefore
plain to-the eyes of the Globe. It is to establish an
insurrection, and to harr&ss by every means the right
flank of the Austrians, .aand if possible obstruct their
line of ‘eommunications by the Upper Adda. This
is a daring , enterprise. The , Austrians are very
jealous of-their commonitation on that side. Gari-
baldi will, it is said., be opposed by Urban, a native
of the Roman States,.. and:a partisan leader of equal
repute, at least .among: the Austrians. It may be
that the Italian who fights for Austria will neu-
tralise the efforts of the Italian who fights for Italy.
But it cannot be disputed that Garibaldi has
given greater ,proofs of capacity, that hechas an eye
.for likely meal, and .--,that he has probably selected
-the best combatants .11:ona the Italian voluateers to
form his Free ,Carps. He has made a bold and
successful beginning. He has already ,defeated
the Austrian column sent against him, .and cap-
tured from them what he most needed, eannon;

Le true, it would shav

that the itisurrectionary ,spirit is everywhere at wori

in Lombardy, and does not even wait for;Garibaldi's
arrival to display itself. The same seems to be the
case in the Duchy of Parma. At Lanigiana, a
prontinciamiento has taken place in favour of the
King of Sardinia, and the Tuscan vanguard, under
General Rittibct, has arrived at Parma itself, where
the people likewise declared for Sardinia and

Italian independer.ce, and from where the Parinese

troops have withdrawn—probably to Piacenza. -The

main armies are ae they were,
appears, according t‘ the Ofonitegr," nothing new
to report on. Friday. The allies have not eithe
crossed the Sesia, or advanced their right beyond
Casteggio. The Austrians on the 21st occupied the
position of Stradella, and placed a corps in front of
Piacenza, on the right bank of the Po. Their head-
quarters were at Garlasco, _their right probably as
far as Novarra ; their centre on both sides of Mor-
tara, their outposts being still along the Sesia and
the Po. The Po cuts both arnies in two, but .both
have ample bridgeaccommodation for purposes of
retreat or .concentration, As to the force ou the
side of the Austrians, An important item of
intelligence appears in the Ausburg Gazette,
which estimates the Austrian army at hale a million.
