Lai-e taken up arms.
Accounts from Milan, of the 9th inst. contain
the tollovving picture of the state of afflirs in

ita)y

" Here, as in every part of Italy, tranquillity
prevailed ; and, thanks to the energetic precau-
tions of the Imperial Government, it •will not
easily he disturbed by the events:Of the moment.
The voice of the people is in favour of the pater-
nal governments which for ages have blessed the
nations of Italy with prosperity and peace. Here,
as in other countries which have experienced
revolutions, there are persons whci would fain re-
new the periods of past sufferings, because they
promoted tneir personal interest, Ina no-where is
the number of such individuals smaller in pro-
portion to the,total.population than in Italy. •
" The general voice• is decidedly expressed in
favour of Peace. King Murat is hated because he
has been, since the first Italian war, one of the
• most active instruments for the ditfusion of uni-
versal misery. In the course of the campaign of
1814, the system of plunder of his army was very,
. quickly organized ; now he calls qut:to the Vl-
storiAstes :—Be Italians and tale me for-your
King! I-le-gives to the Princes the !mist solemn
• assurances that he is, and wishes to continue, in the
closest harmony with them all ; meanwhile he sends
proposals to Buonaparte to share the possession of
Italy with him; from Austria he demanded the re-
cognition of his rights; England he represents as
; upon a similar system founded entirely
,
oddeception, he hopes ar least, to exene coMmo-
tions, to pavalyse all parties, and finally to turn
.the hoped-for disturbances to his advantage. A
More than suffident 'army, composed of choice

troops of Austria, will speedily pia an end to

. these machinations. • •
" When this army received orders to coneen-
, trate it was direCted to take a position which
would render any attack of the enemy upon indi-
vidual Corps impossible. With the exception of
the brilliant action fought by' Lieutenant Field-
Marshal 'he passage of the Fanaro,
for the express purpose of amore precise know-
ledge of the strength of the enemy, there has been
'no esigagement whatever, because all the corps in
advance fell hack, aL;reeably to the orders re-
' ceivecl, upon the main army. The Neapolitan
.• army, moreover, advances with extreme caution
it every where distributes proclamations compos-
ed io the style of the most violent revolutionary
spirit, and promising prosperity and bles:;ings to
the partisans of Murat. This army and its pro-
clamations will soon be treated as they deserve,
• im the spot to which itlas 'hitherto been suffered
to advanCe. No where has the voice of one single
CO7tinalne been raised in behalf of the King of
Naples, and w sties and petitions for a speedy and
safe deliverance are • daily pouring into the seats
of the different governments front the provinces
occupied or menaced by the enemy.
" On the Bth Lord I3entinck, Commander in
Chief of the. English troops in Genoa and Sicily.,
passed through Milan on his way to the head-
, quarters of General Baron Frimont, to concert
with him on the subject of ulterior operations.
England, as, it is well known, concluded in January,
1814, in her own- name and that of King Ferdinand,
an armistice with Murat, with an agreement that
_three months' notice should be .given on either side
before the renewal of hostilities. By the attack of
the. latter upon the Allies of England this armistice
is annulled, and he is at war with England also.
" The Neapolitan army is composed at present
of 35,000 troops of the line, several corps of
which are badly armed. All the fortresses of Up-
per Italy are garrisoned, and we look forward
with the greatest composure to the offensive ope-
rations of the Austrian army. According to the
latest accounts from Naples, the greatest care was
taken to conceal from the public the possibility of
a rupture with Austria and England. The senti-
ments of the people there. are the more averse to
war, as together with the inevitable suspension of
all maritime commerce, they would lose-all pro--
spect of any iudemnification for the expences of
the war."
Sicily and the Seven Islands preparations
are strenuously making far operations against
Naples."
Letters from Mantua of the sth of April, state
as follows :
"In consequence of the approach. of the Nea-
politan troops to the territory of Modena, his Im-
perial Highness the Archduke Frauds quitted his

capitol On Ole 3cl for Mantua; tt•itither his cbrisort
ltad p'revliiiisiy gone. "
The ilepartnte of ids I,ttjteriai ilighn'esS wit
an epoch of Ole deepest sorrow for t!.e city of
Modena; but at the same time An epoch iti whicb
his Inlperial Highness received .the most infallible
proofs-of Ardent attachment. Some thousataiS of
the inhabitants accompanied, his Imperial..lligh-
'leis, who rode at a foot's pace, a mile from the
city, with expressions of the prOfoundest grief at
the cleparture of their Sovereign, and loud d'ecla-
rations:of 'theft hopes of his speedy return, of
which he gaVe them the most positive assurance.
Some,of the Nobility and of the Most respectable
inhabitants attended l.'s Imperial Highness to
Mantua.

',•‘ Ducal troops, consisting of one battalion of
infantry, and one squadron of dragoons, have
marched away with the Austrian troops and mani-
fested" the greatest zeal to meet with them the
common enemy.

".0o the 4th, a Neapolitan nd'anced guard ap,
peared before Modena, where the most profound
silence prevailed. The. Neapolitan Commandant
dispatched an Officer into the City to reprove it
for not-having sent a Deputation to meet•him ! !!"

SECOND AND THIRD EDITIONS OF THE SUN OF

YESTERDAY.

Two O'CLOCK.
We have just been favoured by a respectable
Mercantile House in the City wit ii the perusal of
a Letter froni Trieste, of the 6th- April, from
which we extract the tollo‘ving hitt-Mgt./ice •
Mr.TRAT issued his Declaration of War against
Austria on the 11 inst.

JEROME BUONAPAI:TU made his -escape from
this .place and .got to Ancona, where he has juiced
MI,THAT. •

IVe have heard of many Privateers being our
from Ancona and different ports of hot
Cher they molest the British Flag or not we cannot
yet ascertain. The Merchants here have applied to
Venice for ships to protect the trade, and the Bri-
tish Consnl with us has sent a vessel to Aloha for
a-convoy to take the British ships front Trieste
under protection;- %yak ing which, we remain.

THREE O'CLOCK.
We again stop•the Press to announce the re,
ceipt of Vienna Journals to the MI frOin
which we gather the following intelligence :
" ViENNIA, APRIL 14.—The Vienna Gazette of
this clay contains a Proclan►ation of the Emperor
of Austria, which commences thus

‘. We, FRANCIS.the Firyt, by the Glace of God,
EinverOr of Austria, King of .1-langary, Ho-
lienday Lombardy and Venice, Gflicia and
Ladomiria, &c. &c. Archduke of Austria,.
"In cotismtence of the Treaties concluded
with the Allied Powers, and farther Conventions
concluded with them, the Provinces of .Lombardy
and Venice in their whole' ertent, as far as Lag )
Maggiore, the River '1
it and the Po, together
with part of the territory of Manttia*on the right
batik of the latter River, also the Province of the
Ve..telin, the Counties of Chravenna and Bormio,
are incorporated wish the Austrian Imperial Do-
minion:, and united fur ever to them as an in-
tegral part. ,
". Animated with the most ardent desire to
confer on the inhabitants of • these.prcvis and
districts an unequivocal proof of our !Imperial
affection, and the high value eve 3CI thi,
union, and also to.give them an additional guaranteefor the close ties henceforth bind them to
us, we have thought 'fit to create the above-men-
tioned Provinces and Districts"into a Kingdom,
by the title of the KINGDOM Or LOMBARDY and
VENICE, and have, therefore, -published these
presents for the purpose of making known to every
one this our Imperial determination.."
[Here follow the Articles, 15 in 'number.—
Among other provis'ons it appears, that the lion
Crown and the Order witlithat Title are to be re-
tained, that the Kingdom is to be governed by a
Viceroy, and divided into two Governments, of
which Milan and Venice shall be the capitals.)

BULLETIN OF THE ARMY.
" A Courier sent oil mm the 9th, by Baron
Frirnont. :Commander-in-Chief of the Army of
Italy, and .who arrived at Vienna on the 14th,
brings intelligence that King Joachim bad moved
his Head-quarters to Modena, •and alter many
marches and counter-marches, prohably for the
purpose of deceiving the Austrians, had directed
his main force upon Ferrara. This attempt, how-
ever, was frustrated by General Vou Lauer, coin-
Tbanding there.

Ou the Bth, the King caused, in his presence,
several ;attacks to be made on our tote-de-pont at
Occhio Bello, but his, troops were repulsed ivith
considerable loss. In the evening the enemy's
corps was forced to a complete retreat.
" Our loss in the successtul.action which took
place on the 4th, on the Panaro,_ and the assault
of the tete-de-pont on the Bth, is very ineonsider-
able General Stefani received a slight contu-
sion, vhich, however, did not 'prevent i,itu from
continuing to command his brigade.
On. the Bth; the English General surd %Val.
Bentitick had an interview with the General in
Chief at Mantua.

" The Austrian head-quarters were, on the
oth, removed to Casteluccio, near Mantua."

*TheNeapolitan Armyamounts to 35,000 troops
of the line, some of which are badly armed—all
the Northern Italian fortresses are well garrison-
ed, and we look to the Campaign without appre-
hension.
The troops of the Grand Duke of Tuscany -have
joined the Aiitrians.

MrLAN, Aram 9.—Lprd W. Bentinck passed.
through here to the head-quarters of Gen. Fri-
mont, in order to consult on the future operations
of the Campaign. By illurat's attack on Austria,
the Truce of January 1814 with England, of the
expiry of which three months notice was to be
given, is broken, and now he must be considered as
at War with England the Ally of Aus-triti.
In Sicily and the Seven' Isla id active prepara-
tions are making for a diversion. upon Naples.

tailed form under the head of Vienna Papers in TLI E SUN of
this day. The substance of the French Papers to the 23d, be-
ing also given more at length, need not here he ropetted.

LONDON,
IrEDNESDAY, ,fIPRIL, 26, Ism

We this day translate at length all the im-
portant matter contained in Vienna Papers to the
16th, which have been received exclusiiely at our
Office, and furnished us yesterday with the intel-
ligence which we laid summarily before the Public
in aThird Edition. We are happy to be thus enabled
to meet the French accounts of the affairs in Italy,
by official and demi-official details, which are bet,
ter entitled to credit. According to the Corsican's
Joarnals, his •brother MuRAT has obtained some
half-do:im of glorious victories (though the places
and dates are rather confusedly mentioned), while
according to the plain and evidently true narra•
tion, published at Vienna, it appears that to the
10th there had been only two actions, and even
these of inferior consequence—the first on the
Panaro (which rims into the Po) between Bologna
and Modena, where, on the 4th, Gen. BIANCHI
diSputed the passage of the river, by way of
reconnoissance to ascertain the. strength of the;ene-
my ; the second which took place on the Bth at
Occhio Belk, between 'Modena and Mantra, is
the same _with the French action of St. Benedetto,
where the Austrians defended a Tete-de-pont on
one of the branches of the Po. General STE-
PAN:I received here a slight contusion, and the
Neapolitan General Fit.A.OrF.rit, is said to have
been mortally wounded. The French repasts
say, that MURAT succeeded in passing the river,
and this is rendered very probable by the Au-
strian accounts, whirl) Mate that all their divi-

sioni were, ordered to avoid separate engage-
ments, and to fall back on the main- army and
strong fortres:zes of the North.

- These are the principal military transactions of
the new war, wide'', kindled in Italy between the
Postilion King of NArtrs and the Austrians,
must of neci4sity involve all the Powers of Europe,
even were there no offence, in the rebellion in
France to bring on hostilities. But besides these
affairs there was, on the 30th, a skirmish at Ce-
seua, where ArtittAT violated the territories of the
'Church. In fact, this true Buonapartistiseems to
have no hesitation in invading neutral or indepen-
dent States. It will he seen from the able Expost4
of his conduct, dated Vienna, April 15,, that he has
also invaded Florence, where General PIGNATE6.I
arrived on the 6►b, while its Sovereign retired to
the port of Pisa, though ki!uily invited by AlititAT to
stay and be made prisoner! That Modena and-Fer-
rara have also been violated (at the latter, we rather
believe, the Neapolitans received a check) ; and
it is most probable that Parma, Placentia, and
Guastalla have shared the same fate. Genoa will

perhaps be spared at first, in order to avoid an in-

stant rupture with England, but we trust Lord

W. t3ExTrticx.tcill dt once act with vigour against
the Common Enemy without waiting for further

provocation.
' We observe with satisfactiOn, that the people
of Italy, so far from aiding the impudent French-
man who invites them to -join his standard, to
rescue themselves from Foreigners, are almost.sm-
animons in their attachment to FRANCIS the FIRST
King pf Lombardy and Venice. 'A- powerful di•
versionin Naples and Calabria will, we trust, expel
him for ever from his Italian Kingdom ; and,if
he fights his way into France, let him (it is but
just) share the fate of BUONAPARTE.

It is wjtti ,much pleasure we -learn from the best
authority, that from recent and ample accounts
of the Allieq, Forces, they are even in a much more
forward state than Government expected.
