SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

The King of SWEDEN has declared to the Storth-
ing that he has had communications with the Courts
of Berlin, London, and St. Petersburgh, and is fully
convinced that the aid to be afforded to the Danes by
the kingdoms of Sweden and Norway will nut inter-
rupt the friendly relations that exist with England
and Russia ; and these two powers, both of which
had guaranteed to Denmark the possession of Sales-
wig, job with King OSCAR in the desire to put an
end to the existing differences, and would energeti-
cally co-operate with him to obtain a satisfactory
peace. Further, that it had been resolved, in an
extraordinary council of state, that out of concern
for the honour of Sweden and Norway, and the
interest of the King of DENMARK, to grant the
aid desired, by ordering the fleet to sail, and con-
veying the Swedish troops ready to march to the
Danish islands, that they may contribute to assist
Denmark.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

The following is the official bulletin issued by the
Provisional Government of Lombardy, dated Milan,
2d June :

" On the 30th ult., at 11 o'clock at night, Peschiera capi-
tulated. The capitulation having signed, several Italian
officers, with a company of artillerymen, and one of
marksmen belonging to the 13th Regiment of Pinevolo,
entered the fort by the gate of Verona.
" At daybreak on the 31st the said 13th Regiment
and the corps of Parmasan troops entered this place.
At mid-day the Austrians, filing off before the barracks,
went out by the gate of Brescia, having laid down their
arms, which were consigned to the custody of the Pied-
montese, in the penance of the Duke of Genoa, e.ttended
by a select staff and the 14th Regiment. The officers
alone were allowed to retain possession of their swords.
" The garrison, composed of 1,600 Croats, guarded
by a strong escort, arrived yesterday at Brescie.
" Our troops found in the fortress considerable
stores of ammunition, heaps of cannon balls, bombs,
&c. The houses in the interior presented a deplora-
ble spectacle. The enemy had wished to hold out till
the last moment, and had consumed almost all the
provisions. Of the few caunoneers who remained,
each was compelled to do double duty. Almost all the
horses were consumed. There was no more salt, and
saltpetre was substituted. The soldiers sacked the
houses which the bombs of the enemy had sat on fire,
and the few remaining inhabitants (not more than 400),
the greater part of whom had been obliged to labour at
the works of defence, took refuge in the casemates.
" On the same day (the 30th of May) was fought the
battle of Goito, full particulars of which have already
been given. We may add that the loss of the enemy
was very great, both in killed and wounded; the
precise number is not yet ascertained, the engage-
ment being still pending. The announcement that
a strong corps of Austrians was, subsequent to the
affair of the 30th, hemmed in between Rivolta and Cere-
tiara, is confirmed. The passage of the Oglio at the
bridge of Marcaria was watched by the Tuscans and the
National Guards of the adjacent district. All the boats
between Conneto and Marcaria were removed and the
fords guarded, with the object of preventing the passage
of the enemy.
" Several Lombard deserters from the regiment of Haug-
witz, and a number of Hungarians and Bohemians who
arrived at BJzzolo on the 30th and 31st, alluded to the
spirit of defection which prevailed amongst them, and af-
firmed that the enemy had left more than four hundred
soldiers on the field of Montanara alone, exclusive of
several superior officers.
" The surrender of Peschiera and the victory or rather
the three victories, of the last week of May seem to
guarantee the result of the war of independence.
" By order of the Provisional Government,
" C. CARCANO, Secretary."

All accounts agree in confirming the extent and
the importance of the victory obtained on the 30th,
near Goito. The Austrians are still in force outside
Mantua, and nearly 30,000 men had been collected
by CHARLES ALBERT in their front, with the inten-
tion of forcing them to battle there, opposing their
attempt to turn his right at Volta, in case they still
entertain that project, and placing sufficient troops to
prevent their return to Verona, should they have re-
newed it. 180 pieces of cannon, and vast quantities
of ammunition, have been found in Peschiera.
It appears that a large detachment of RADETSKY'S
troops has managed to turn the flank of the Pied-
montese army, and to take up a position in their rear.
RADETSKY himself has left Verona at the head of
the greater portion of his troops, and taken the open
field. A decisive battle was expected every hour.
