BRUNSWICK.

Duke WILLIAM of Brunswick has issued the fol-
lowing army order :
" Ills Imperial Highness the Archduke JOHN of
Austria, for the more effectual promotion of unity,
and for the general interests of Germany, has been
charged provisionally with the administration of the
central power. While I cordially give my entixe
consent to this election, I have placed the armed
forces of my dukedom under the subordination of his
Imperial Highness the ARCHDUKE REGENT,
in the same manner and to the same
extent, as the same has hitherto been placed under
the German Confederation. I entertain the firm
conviction that my troops will continue to favour and
maintain, in the cause of Germany, that love for the
fatherland, and those military qualifications, for
which they have hitherto been so justly celebrated.

LATEST PROM THE ARMY OF CHARLES
ALBERT.

The Risorgimento of the 3d inst. states that the
head. quarters of CHARLES ALBERT were still at
Lodi. His army occupies the line of the Adda.
There has been no fresh collision between the hostile
forces. The KING is constantly on horseback, in-
specting the different corps of his army. The soldiers
are recovering their spirits, and are preparing to at-
tack the enemy.
The Lieutenant-General of the Duchy of Piacenza,
for his Majesty CHARLES ALBERT, has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation .
" Inhabitants of Piacenza,

" Our army, which for several months past has
borne with admirable courage and perseverance the
fatigues and dangers of the war, came a few days
since to battle with the enemy, who poured forth
from the fortresses of Verona and Mantua. Victory
was faithful to our banners, because they are the
banners of our own country and of valour ; but the
addition of reinforcements to the enemy obliged us to
fall back on a more secure line of defence. The main
body of the army, however, having rallied under the
command of the KING, far from suffering from defeat,
is preparing to renew the attack with vigour, and has
already recovered some of its former positions from
the enemy. The soldiers of Piacenza were the most
intrepid of warriors ;:and I warn you to give no credit
to the rumours spread by some run-aways, labouring
under the shame of having deserted the banner of
honour. Rather believe those gallant soldiers who
shed their blood—their wounds sufficiently tell you
that the army is full of courage and hope.

" Viva it Re !.Viva Ilialia !

"Piacenza, July 29, 1848. " SAPPA."
" ORDER OF THE LIEUTENANT-GENERAL COM-

MANDING THR ROYAL TROOPS AT PIACENZA.

" Soldiers !—ln consequence of the fatigues which
you have undergone while fighting gallantly, several
of you fell sick, and, unable to follow the movements
of the army, disbanded, and came to recruit your
exhausted strength to Piacenza, where you were
received with that brotherly charity which distin-
guishes these good citizens, to whom we profess the
most sincere gratitude. Your strength having been
restored, the time has arrived when you must again
resume your arms and return without delay to your
own corps, and reunite yourselves to your banners
and to your brothers in:arms, who are fighting under
the orders of the King and the Princes, his sons, for
the holy cause of Italy, to the support of which we
must devote all otir strength. Do not listen to a few
alarmists, foes of Italy, and bribed by your enemy
to dishearten you—despise them, and show them
that it is not in their power to make you deviate
from the path of honour.
" Soldiers of all ranks, whom I have gathered here
in order to re-unite you and send you back to your
regiments, obey the patriotic call, and start at the
cry of

" Viva it Re !—Viva l'ltalia 1

"PI BRICHERASIO.

" Piacenza, 30th July, 11148."
" THE GENERAL-IN-CHIEF OF THE NATIONAL GUARD,

" Soldiers !—The cause of our independence is in
danger. King CHARLES ALBERT does not recede
from the danger ; he says to his people—To arms !

" Soldiers of the National Guard I—Now is the
time for union,' courage, sacrifices. Were the
Austrian to threaten our country, let him recollect
that we are the same people as in 1746 !
" Fly, when called on, immediately to arms. Do
❑ot be slow in lending your arm to your country. In-
famy will stamp its degrading mark on whosoever
refuses, and the rigour of the law will fall as thunder
on his head.

" SoldiersOrtEe National Guard !—ln difficult
circumstances I told you that I reckoned upon you
—reciprocate with me the same confidence.

" The cause of our liberty cannot be lost. Let
danger inspire us with firmness, and if Italy can free
herself, it should never be said that we had been
found wanting in our duty.
" Your General,
" G. BELBI PIOVARA.
