POSEN.

Posen still continues greatly excited, and the whole
of the duchy is in motion. Schroda is still fortified
and barricaded, and for several leagues around the
inhabitants are compelled to contribute waggons,
horses, arms, and ammunition. At Tzmeszno, near
Bromberg, Colonel ESTOCQUE and the troops under
his command have had a struggle with the inhabi-
tants. They succeeded in carrying all the barri-
cades, and clearing the houses from which shots had
been fired. The Poles lost 23 men. At that moment
counter• orders arrived from General COLOMBO, an-
nouncing that deputies from all the Polish circles had
arrived at Posen to arrange terms, and the troops
were withdrawn. In the afternoon of the 11th, the
19th Regiment left Posen for Schroda. General
COLOMBO accompanied them, and has concluded an
armistice for three days. In a skirmish with the
2d Regiment of Hussars, Count POTOSKL one of the
Polish leaders was killed. The Chief President of
Breslau has published a proclamation, stating that the
rumours respecting the large armament of Russia on
the frontier are unfounded. He adds that Prussia is
fully prepared for any event.

ANOTHER ALLEGED ADVANTAGE OVER
THE AUSTRIANS.

The Piedmontese army has just gained a fresh ad-
vantage over the Austrians, and has secured to itself
another passage beyond the Mincio. A column,
under the orders of General BROGLIO, has dismounted
with its artillery the Austrian batteries on the oppo-
site bank of the Mincio, between Monzambano and
Valeggio ; the bridge adjoining was then recon-
structed by the artillerymen with the assistance of the
inhabitants, who eagerly supplied the necessary ma-
terials. The troops and the artillery crossed the
river and completed the rout of the Austrians, and
thus obtained possession of the left bank of the Mincio.
The loss is not yet known, but several officers are said
to have fallen.

The following proclamation has been addressed by
CHARLES ALBERT to his troops :
" Soldiers,—By your forced marches you have come
up with the enemy on the Mincio; in vain did he en-
trench himself on the road of Goito, where he hoped to
damp your ardour. He has been compelled to give way
before your courageous attacks, which the destruction
of the bridge over the Mincio could not check. Despising
danger, you followed him to the opposite bank, where
the capture of prisoners and s,me pieces of cannon, in
the face of an enemy favoured by his position, :give evi-
dence of your ♦alour.
"Soldiers, the nation will be as content as I am with
your conduct, and Italy will not be deceived in the con-
fidence which it has placed in you.

(Signed) " CHARLES ALBERT.
" Bead-quarters, Castiglione de Stiviere, April 8."
The movement of the volunteers in the Ty rol pro-
ceeds rapidly. A body of them has arrived at Trone,
about twenty miles from Trent, which town they
hope to gain possession of. Another column has
embarked on board steam-boats in order to gain
possession of Riva, and to cut off a part of the com-
munications of the Austrians with the Tyrol by
throwing them on the other bank of the Adige.
Acording to the Augsburg. Gazette, an important
engagement may be shortly expected to take place
on the Isonzo. The auxiliary corps, composed of
30,000 men, will commence operations on the 12th,
by joining on the side of Venice the army of Marshal
RADETZKY, in order to march into the interior of
Lombardy. A deputation is stated to have arrived
from the Tyrol, offering the EMPEROR, a body of
12,000 men.

Other accounts, however, give a contradiction to
the above. The Breslau Gazette of the 9th, for in-
stance, states that it was certain that the Austrian
Government had given up Lombardy, and given
orders to its troops accordingly. The levy of men
in Hungary has also been given up.
