LOMBARDY.

The Piedmontese Gazzela del Popelo publishes the
proclamations of CHARLES ALBERT to the army and
the nation, accompanied with the assurance that the
lirria is fully determined on continuing the war, and
that the whole population will follow his summons to
the field. The names of several priests and dignitaries
of the Church are given, who preach that the war
with Austria is a holy war, and at the head of
which stands the Bishop of Cuneo, Monsignore
AlAutzxm. This paper contains an energetic appeal
not only to all classes of the inhabitants, but to the
officers and persons in authority, urging each to
undertake the necessary responsibility at so critical a
moment, and not to wait for orders in using every
exertion to keep the army supplied, and to reinforce
it by all possible disposable hands.
