LOMBARDY.

The Gonstituzionale Subalpino of Turin, of the
17th, publishes an official bulletin from Roverbella
of the 15th, at 11 P.M. On that day the works of
circumvallation around Mantua were completed on
the right side of the Mincio. The second division,
commanded by General FERRERE, and the Lombar-
dian division, under the orders of Lieutenant-General
PERRONE, have been engaged in them. The Aus-
trians did not risk a sally till the 14th, when they
were repulsed by the Lombardians. Trenches have
been opened on the principal roads by which the
enemy might find an outlet. The KING assisted in per-
son at the evolutions of the troops that were proceed-
ing to invest the fortress under General BEVA. The
remainder of the army is so placed as to complete the
blockade on the left bank, and to oppose any aggres-
sion either from Verona or Legnago. A letter from
Brescia of the 14th states that an attack was made
by the Austrians upon Ponte, where they were re-
pulsed, with the loss of several men and four pieces
of cannon.

NAPLES AND SICILY.
The Toulon correspondent of the Constitutionnel
writes as follows on the lath July :

" The Pluton, steam-corvette, which left Naples on
the 12th, arrived here this morning, bringing important
dispatches from Admiral Baudin, the contents of which
have been forwarded to Paris by telegraph.
"At the moment when the Pluton was leaving Na-
ples, the news reached that city by the English steamer
Porcupine, which had been dispatched in all haste to the
British Ambassador, that the Sicilian Parliament, after
declaring itself in favour of a constitutional monarchy,
with an Italian King, had decided, by a
,great majo-
rity, that the crown of Sicily should be offered to the
Duke of Genoa, second son of Charles Albert, who is
now in his 26th or 27th year. This news produced
the most lively sensation at Naples.
" The English squadron, under the orders of Vice-
Admiral Parker, which had left Malta on the 29th June,
and which had for some days been cruising between that
island and Sicily, appeared off Palermo and came to an
anchor on the 10th, as well as the two French men-of-
war, the Inflexible and the Jupiter. Admiral Baudin
was directing his course towards that port, with the other
vessels of his squadron.
" The Plutou will return immediately to the squadron
with dispatches for the Admiral. Admiral Trehouart,
who has been appointed second in command of the
French squadron in the Mediterranean, has left for his
destination in the Tonnerre steamer.

" The artillery waggons have been busily employed,
for the last day or two, in carrying muskets to the
marine arsenal, to be embarked on board a steamer for
Genoa."

The Provisional Government established at Bu-
charest has passed the following decrees :

" 1. Abolition of all ranks and titles.

sess more than one piece.

The Act of Abdication by Prince BIBESCO runs as
fullows
" TO THE MINISTERIAL COUNCIL.

" Impressed WitctheTnsufficiency of my power to
meet the requirements of present circumstances, and in
order to avoid future reproaches of conscience that I
have plunged the country into danger, by retaining in
my hands the reins of Government longer than my
strength permitted, I hereby resign them into your bands,
and retire into private life with that satisfaction which
results from a clear conscience.

" Done at Bucharest, June 13."
Accounts from Jassy give the number of cholera
deaths us one in four. The contagion rages princi-
pally among the lower orders. It is estimated that
not less than 50,000 of the inhabitants have fled to
the mountains to escape the dreadful disease. The
cholera also prevails at Bucharest, and carries off
about forty per day.
A counter-revolution was attempted at Bucharest
upon the Ist of Jul), but was put down by the people,
with little bloodshed on either side. General Opo-
BEsKoi, formerly Commander-in-Chief of the Militia,
and Colonel SOLOMON, Commander of the 3d In-
fantry, having succeeded in gaining
.over about 450
of the bravest and most resolute soldiers of the latter
regiment, led them to the building where the Provi- •
sional Government was assembled, with the intention
of arresting or putting the members to death, as cir-
cumstances might determine. But the project having
been discovered, the people assembled in masses,
threw themselves upon the soldiers, broke their ranks,
and put them to flight. ODOBESKOI was arrested,
and SOLOUON, who had succeded in concealing him-
self for a moment, was discovered, and narrowly
escaped being hacked to death by the mob. Upon
