The Piedmontese Gazette of the 21st has a bulletio

Mantua, but the garrison remained shut up ID tb,e.

were exchanged, without much effect on either old?'
The heavy artillery that was expected by the Pied

A difference has arisen between CuAßLEsAmssita an
the Provisional Government at Milan of so serious
nature that it is likely to have a very sinister effect
on the events of the war, in as tar as the interests
of Lombardy are concerned. Letters received
from the head- quarters of GA neral GAZZALDO, and
which are stated by the Contemporaneo to be official,
state the quarrel has, within the last few days, 0'
'umed a cz.aracter equally grave and unexpected.
