ITALY.

The King of SARDINIA has addressed the following
proclamation to his people ; it is dated Voghera, head•
quarters of the Piedmont army :

"Charles Albert, by the grace of God, King of Sar-
dinia, of Cyprus, &c., to his well-beloved subjects.
" My duties as King, the bonds which attach me to
the sacred interests of Italy, impose on line the obliga-
tion of proceeding with my sons to the plains of Lom-
bardy, where the destinies of our common country will
soon be decided.

" The army, for long my solicitude and my pleasure,
follows me; numbers of brave citizens have voluntarily
joined themselves to us to share the labours of war and
the dangers of battle; my heart bounds at the sight of
such admirable and universal enthusiasm; it will be
grand and glorious for me to lead a generous people to
the holy enterprise of which Pius IX. has been the first
promoter.
" I entrust with entire confidence to the citizen-militis
of my kingdom, and to the affection of my people, the
care of my family and the maintenance of public order---
the chief basis of all liberty. _ _ _

" Faithful Savoyards, brave Ligurians, it is to your
fidelity, to your . honour, to your powerful arms, that I
entrust the defences of our frontiers, and of our shores ;
during the absence-of your brothers of the army, you
will be the calm.and. worthy guardians of our free insti-
tutions, and of the integrity of our country."
The King of:SARDINIA entered Pavia at the head
of 300,000 men on the 89th ult., and left next day for
Lodi. .

The crew of. an :Au3trian frigate in the roads of
Naples had compelled the captain to hoist the Italian
national flag.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the Ist inst. contains *
decree of the Provisional Government of Milan
investing the Jews with full political and civil rights.
The question of marriages will be regulated by
future law. Other decrees. provide .for the organisa•
tion of a regular army, the. enrolment of volunteers,
a diminution in• the. stamp duties, the abolition of the
game laws, &c. The same paper contains the con•
ventions, in virtue of which .the :province of Udine and
that of Padua are evacuated by the Austrians ; most
of the Italian troops have refused to follow the imps'
rial generals, and have fraternised with the people.
By the above conventions all the arms, ammunition,
and military materiel are given up to the people, so
well as the public coffers ; the Austrian troops will
receive three months' pay, and evacuate the towns and
fortresses. A similar capitulation has been signed at
Rovigo.

The following official bulletin was issued by the
Provisional Government of. Milan on the 30th ult.:—
" The Lombard and Swiss free corps are in Brescie.
General 814, with 5:,000 Piedmentese, has advanced to.
wards Chiari; General Trotti, with 8,000 more, was 01
Lodi this day. Ten thousand Romans and 7,000 Tile'
cans are marching to the Po, by Bologna and Ferret*
and will cross it at Ponte Lago Scuro. It is said that at
Bagnolo (Lower Brescia) the Lombard and Swiss free
corps, reinforced by the :Tyrolese insurgents, have sur'
prised and taken prisoners from 700 to 800 men, amongel
whom are 70 hulans and 50 officers, with a minted
chest. Radetzky was, according to the latest intelli'
gence, at Orzino.vi and Soncino; the Austrians are at •
standstill near the banks of the Oglio. It appears the,
have given up the intention of throwing themselves into
Mantua, from wautuf provisions in' the fortress. TO
whole country from the Po to. the Alps of Tyrol hes
risen in arms; the enemy finds impediments of every Mr
ture. There is:no 'doubt that, 'on the appearance of 0
body of regular. troops, the .army of Radetzky will be
obliged to capitulate." •
