The Suabian Mercury says that the Bavarian Privy
councillor, VON NIETIIANMER, has been here for
some days past, charged with a mission by his Go-
vernment to negotiate with the Minister of Finance
for railway communication between Bavaria and
Wurtemburg. These negotiations have already led
to an agreement respecting the basis of the compact
of the two Governments.

TURKEY AND WALLACHIA.
Letters from Constantinople, of the 12th July,
state that an army of 20,000 men was on its march
to Wallachia. The Minister of Commerce, SULEI-
MAN PACIIA, late Arnbassadar at Paris, was to pro-
ceed to that province as Commissioner Extraordinary.
The Augsburg Gazette has the following extract
from a letter, dated Bucharest, July 6 :
" The Pacha of Jassy. has officially informed the Go-
Ternment that the Turkish troops will enter the princi-
palities simultaneously with the Russian army, in order
to re-establish order and tranquillity."

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

Beyond the fact that a battle has taken place be-
tween CHARLES ALBERT and RADETZKY at Villa
Franca, nothing is known with certainty. We have•
as yet had only Italian accounts, and even they, in
the first instance, declared that the Austrians had
gained a victory. Since those accounts were pub-
lished, however, they have claimed the victory for the
Piedmontese.
The Pieclxwntese Gazette of the 26th contains the
following official announcement on the subject of this
battle :

" Ilead-quarters of Villa Franca, July 23.
" The 2d corps of the Piedmontese army was attacked
yesterday by an imposing force in the positions of Lo-
rena, Ferrara, and Rivoli. The troops, though inferior
in number, defended themselves well. In the course of
the day the enemy, with a strong force from Verona,
attacked the position of San Guiline, Oftania del Bosco,
Sona, and Somma Campagna, and repulsed the 2d corps
of Piedmontese towards Castel Novo. While this was
operating on the left, the King ordered the 4th division
of reserve, under the Duke of Genoa, and the Ist bri-
gade Aosta, and the division of cavalry, to concentrate
themselves between Villa Franca and Mozzecona. The
King remained at his head-quarters at Villa Franca.

"Rivoli, July 22, 10 P.M.
" The Piedmontese troops stationed at Rivoli and
Corona were attacked at ten A.M. this day. On the side
of Montebaldo, another large force obliged the six com-
panies stationed at Ferraja and Corona to retire, but
without much loss. A reinforcement of 1,300 infantry
and half a battery of artillery, retrieved the state of
things on that side. As the enemy galled us with his
battery of Mount Pastello, I ordered a retreat to the
position of Colmasano, Cavagon, and Affi. The enemy
also threatens to cross the river at Penton. Tho lino
