the 21st inst. state as -Follow3:—A... Neapolitan
- rleuipotentiary, AI. de Questiaux, arrived 10-day
in this city. Ile intended to-pursue his route to
Vienna, to carry dispatches from the Duke de
iii Gallo to the Neapolitan Embassy in that capital,

in case it should be still there. Our GoVernor
intimated to him, that as war had broken out, be
could neither stiffer him to proceed to Vienna,
which city the Neapolitan Embaisy' had already
quitted, nor allow him to remain at Trieste. He
will accordingly return to-morrow, without ae.
complishing his: purpose. _
Letters from Ancona of the Igth inst., brought
by the ship which conveyed M. de Questiaux, at-
test the consternation which recent accounts from
the army produced among the few adherents of
King Murat. On.the 10th, appeared a publica-
tion relative to the introduction of a new cockade
for Italy, On the 14th, followed a Proclamation
to the officers and men of the army of the former
Kilivlom of Pa4y.

In ,I)e night between the 10th and 11th, and
the two following days, several hands of hired and
intoxicated people paraded through the streets of
Ancona with the new cockade on their bats and
caps, and singing' revolutionary songs.' At the
same time, recru'ts wefe to have teen raised
under the new insignia of liberty: very few of
the wearers of cockades could, hdwever, be per-
suaded to enlist, and not one of the other inha-
bitants.

Meanwhile, reports were spread of very dis•
astrons events for the Neapolitan army. Many
vessels were dispatched to take on board the
ivtitmded at Remini, and to transport them to
Ancona. On the 17th, many stragglers of the
beaten army reached the latter place, and on the
18th arrived the Duke de Gallo, Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs; who immediately suspended all re-
volutionary movements and demonstrations of
joy. From what the public could learn, it Could
not be doubted that the situation of the Neapoli-
tan army was extremely critical. ".

. JoAentm NArot.cox, King of the Two Srctmcs :
Whereas 01t the Italians are to Meet for thr cause of the
country, under National Colours, we have thorig,ht fit to
unite the colour already adopted by us in our Kingdom of
Naples as the symbol of honour and insiolabledidelity—the
watchwordof our brave army—with that which has rendered
the Italian armies renowned in all tire battles of Europe.—
Accordingly we have decreed, and decree as follows :
Art. I. The Italian cockade shall be composedof amaranth
and green, in equal stripes.

Kg. The cockade shall be worn nut only by .the army but. by
Italians of all ranks who are devoted to the cause of National
Independence. Our Ministers are charged with the execu-
tion of this Dc;cree.

- JOACHIM NAPOLEON.

Count of MOSBURG.

Letters from Unpei Italy state,-that when Murat
found his career checked by the skill and valour of
the Itnperal Generals, he contented himself with
plundering, in the name of liberty, the proVinces
Avhich be immediately' occupied, 'and commenced
his retreat upon Ancona. On the city of Bo-
logna alone Murat has levied four millions of
francs, and in the like proportion upon others.—
lo several provinpes' he has caused himself to be
proclaimed Sovereign, as was particularly the case
in the Papal States.

The army under his command consists of three
divisions, those of Generals,Carrascosa, Ambrosio,
and Leechi. These corps which when they first
marched, amottuted, to front 32 to 36,000 men,
have lost more than one-third in killed, wounded,
and deserters. Three other dividons took the
road to Florence. The two divisions of Doren
and Pignatelli reached Florence, but the third
under Prince Pignatelli Cerchiare, advtinced no
farther than the frontiers of the Grand-Duchy.
The desertion in these divisions is unexampled,-
though they are chiefly composed of the royal
guardt.• The artillery is not numerous, and very
indifferently served.
To judge from the sentiments expressed at
Naples before the march of Murat's. army, there
can be no doubt that the intelligence of his re-
treat will be received there with .greater pleasure
than-that of the war. Many voice were then already
raised in fasvottr of the Old Royal Family, and
there was nothing to urge against this disPo3i
tion, 'as the people -
were sure that the return- of
the legitimate Sovereign would not be attended
with any re-action or violent revolution. At the

same time the maiority-of the nation contemplat-
ed in a change Of Government the prospect, of
Peace, which could not be easily realized under

any other circumstances. During Buonaparte's
dominion, streams of Neapolitan blood were an-
nually shed in the most (natant regions, nut! while

TieNl Marshal Prince Wrede is expected to set
out in a few days for the Rhine, to assume the
eammand' of the Bavarian army on that river.--'•
According to accounts which can be mlied on, it
is composed of five di visions of infantry, and three
of cavalry, commanded by Lientenants-Gene-rals

VIENNA, APRIL 2:s.—The passage of reghnents
through this citron their way to take the field is
very brisk ; between the 17th And the day before
yesterday the following regiments of infantry have
arrived here, and proceeded to their destination :
infantry—The regiments of the Arduluke- Louis, Grand
Duke of Tuscany, Lindenau, Cobury, Kutschera, and the Em-
.peror's ; the 4th Mid 12th battalion of Jagers, the Grenadier
battalions of Frisch and Lieger.

Cavalry—Rosenberg's regiment of Light Horse, the Empe-
ror's Cuirassiers, the Archduke Ferdinand's Hussars, and
likewise the drafts from the Palatine Hussars.

From the garrison of this city have likewise
marched upon active service, nine battalions of
grenadiers, the infantry regiments of the Emperor
Alexander and Colloredo Mangleld, the cuirassier
regiment of Constantine and the Schwartzenberg
Hulans. These troops before, their departure
were always reviewed at the entrance of the Pra-
ter or on the glacis, on which occasions his Im-
perial Majesty and the Foreign Sovereigns here
were frequently present. When on the 18th the
regiments of the Emperor Alexander and jerdme
Colleredo marched out, the Emperor of Russia in
the uniform of Colonel, waited at the head of his
regiment for the Emperor Francis, and saluted
him with his sword. The Empress, the.foreign
Sovereigns, Prince Schwartzeuberg, and many
other diitinguished personages, Ware present on
this occasion, togethcr'with an immense concourse
of spectators.
MonENA, APRtr. 16.---The Neapolitan troops
must have lately cpnvinced themselves . in this
city that the reliance which the King placed upon
the support of Ole Italian people was quite un-
founded. On his entrance into this place at four
o'clock ix the afternoon, a dead silence prevailed.
All the houses were shut up, because the inhabi-
tants were fearful of being plundered by the Nca
politan soldiers. A general illuminat-ion was or-
dered by the Neapolitan commandant ; but the
city remained in darkness. Next day the hulletins
were filled with lies and rumours of every.ltiod
and, from the 4th till our deliverance on. the 13th,
we saw ourselves menaced with all the forms of
the worst period of the revolution. •
We cannot forbear noticing-, as one.of the most
extraordinary perversions of ideas, the assumption
of a Murat, w!,O would have taken possession of
the states of the house of 'Este, to give the people
an Italian Sovereign.

ARMY IN ITALY.
MILITARY REPORT, Pyo.IV.

Head-quarters at Mantua, Apra 24, ISIS.
The pursuit of the enemy after the battles of
Ravi,le and Casaglio has been continued without
interruption. His breaking tip ti•ou► the Palma)
no longertilows him any vim of halt, and with
greater rapidity than in his ill-concerted advance
against the Legations, the Tuscan and Modenese
territories, must he, anxiously avoiding a battle,
relinquish those•specious advantages with consi-
derable loss. ,
-

Field-Marshal Lieutenant Bianchi entered Bo-
logna with the army-corps under his command,
while the division of Field-Marshal Lieutenant
Count Neipperg, closely following the retreating
movements of the Neapolitans, occupied Imola,
FacTiza, and, on the 19th instant; Foriz.
On the right hank of the river Ronco, the
enemy left behind the division Lecchi, in a posi-
tion very favourable, from tjte advantages of the
ground ; and news was received that a corps still
more considerable continued entrenched at Cesena.

Count Neipperg resolved to attack the enemy
without loss ot time ; with this view, he detached
the brigade of Count Haugwitz, by the moun-
tains, of Meldola towards Raersano, to threaten
their left flank, 'while he, with a Just coufidence
in the valour of his troops, effected, in full day,
-of the 21st, the passage of the rapid Ronco, itt
sight of the whole enemy's line.
The advanced-guard, under the brave and
skilful conduct ot General -Baron Geppert, and
Colonel Count Zichy, of the Lichtenstein Hus-
sars, crossed the river, the bank ot which the
enemy were forced to evacuate. Two divisions of
the regiments St. Julian and \Vied-Runkel, bravely
led on .by Lieutenant-Colonel Longtieville and
Major Sajoncsek, followed to support the former,
and with the lith Chasseur battalion formed a
bulwark, under the protection of which the pio-
neer companies of Major Welsh established a
bridge, and
,preparel a tree passage for the troops
of all arms.

About eight in the evening the whole was com-
pleted, the enemy attacked in his position at the
charge-step, and in less than 20 minutes were driven
back to . In vain did King Joachim,
who, according to the report of all the prioners,
was present in person, advance with tvvo hinder
,
regiments of the division Carascosa, and with
them-endeavour to break through our masses

prevented the fartherTursuit, and induced Count
kipper} to
,confine his victory for this day to the
-important advantages already gained.:
The report from the field of batik does nest
communicate the official details of 'our loss, which
was vi!rY trifling, nor that of the enemy, which
was great. A considerable number of prisoners,
the greater part left wounded on the field of battle,
give a deplorable description, of the Neapolitan
army, in which despondenty and discontent
threaten to loosen the ties of obedience; inas-
much as the confidence of the troops in the cause
for Which; as well as in the leader under whom
they fight, is wholly destroyed.
The joy of the inhabitants of every district
"through which our victorious army marches, and
their satisfaction :at these fortunate events of war,
are conspicuously displayed. Many mountaineers
.have taken up arms, and joined our -advanced
guard. The people of all ranks cordially hold
out their hands to their deliverers, and lighten the
movements of the troops by voluntary services,
The advance of General Neipperg is accom-
panied along the sea-enlist by a small corps, un—
der the command of Major t'erquet, of the Fen-
ner Chasseurs, who, supported by Major Brehm,
of the Hesse-Homburg infantry, attacked on the
19th, an enemy's division at Ravenna, and drove
it over the Savio. The above Major Brehm, do m-
mandant at Commathio, attacked antltbok an ene-
my's vessel in the harbour of I'ortonuova, carry-
ing 1 piece of cannon, with 13 seamen.

i,Vhilst the preceding report was in the press,
accounts were received from ,CountNlcipperg,
that the enemy had evacuated in the night of the
22d, his strongly entrenched position at' Cesena,
and was retiring in great haste.
