" God save the Emperor.
(Signed) " RADETSKY, Field Marshal.
"Head. quarters, Palazzo Alzarea, July 26, 1848."
The Ventidue .31-arzo of Milan, of the 28th ult.,
after publishing the decree for the committee of de-
fence, gives another, investing General Zuccut with
the command in chief of the National Guard of Lom-
bardy ; a third decree orders that saddles and bridles
shall be shortly put in requisition, for a body of ca-
valry to be immediately raised. A fourth decree,
signed Zuccur, orders that the mobilised National
Guard shall march within five days.—General ANTO•
rim arrived at Milan on the 28th. The following
was the military strength at Milan on that day ;
9,525 men, 745 horses, 10 eight. pounders, 10 sixteen-
pounders, and 6 howitzers. On the 27th two batta-
lions of conscripts, the Ist and 18th regiment, the
sth battalion of grenadiers and a battery of cannon
left Milan for the seat of war. Eight thousand Na-
tional Guards are mobilised. Many Piedmontese
troops, coming from Genoa, have arrived at Pavia,
and others are expected, making in all a division of
12,000 men.

The following extraordinary bulletin was published
at Milan on the 28th ult., at noon :
"We this instant receive news from Cremona, by.
letter written at one o'clock at night, by a Lombardian
officer of the staff, who left the camp of Goito yester-
day, at 2 P.M. It informs us that yesterday (Thursday)
at 2 P.M., the army was ranged in order of battle at
Goito. Thera would have been no hesitation to attack
the enemy, if our troops, forty-five thousand in number,
had not required food and rest after a battle of five
days. The King has sent some Lornbardian officers of
the staff to Cremona, to ensure the dispatch of provi-
sions to the army. The Provincial Committee there
immediately gave the necessary orders for the purpose."
The Risorgimento of Turin of the 29th ult., states
that on the preceding evening a large crowd was as-
sembled before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to
hear the contents of a dispatch that had just arrived.
A bulletin was then publicly read to the effect, that,
on the 27th, a new attack had been made by the
Piedmontese upon Volta, but that, after a severe en-
gagement, the troops, not being sufficiently numerous
retired to their former positions between Goito and
Bozzolo.

The Risorgimento gives the new Piedmontese
Ministry as follows :—CAsa Tr, President without port-
folio; PARETO, Foreign Affairs; PLEZZA, Interior;
Ricci, Finance; GioJA, Grace and Justice; RAT,
TAZZI, Public Instruction' PALEOCAPA, Public
Works; COLLEGNO, War; DURINI Commerce and
Agriculture; MOPFA. Dr Liam, at the Camp, without
portfolio. _ _

A letter from Verona of the 23d ult., in the
Breslau Gazette, says— _ _

"The operations commenced last night by Marshal
Radetzky have been crowned with full success. The
next morning, at five o'clock, the entrenchments near
Santa Lucia were forced without considerable loss. The
Piedmontese took to flight, and reached, with Charles
Albert, Castello Nueva. But in the afternoon the enemy
abandoned that position, and our troops marched to-
wards Peschiera, where the Piedmontese took refuge.
On the 23d the cannon was beard at Verona, because
the Austrians were pursuing the enemy closely."
We learn from Brescia, 27th ult., that, in conse•
quence of orders received from CHARLES ALBERT,
Brescia was being put in a state of defence, the ram-
parts armed with cannon, and barricades raised.
The National Savoisien of the 29th ult. has the
following :
"We could have desired to suppress the sad news
from the army contained in our correspondence, but if
we had confined it to our breast, the private letters of
our brave countrymen would have made it known to
their afflicted families. We must, therefore, resign our-
selves to telling the truth, however painful it may bet
besides, a reverse is a chance of war, and has often
glorious morrow. We spoke-of a decisive affair between
the two armies on the 26th. Fate has been contrary to
us; and our army, separated into two by
.the Austrian
masses, has been obliged to fall back, and to return to the
right bank of the Minch), after having broken down all the
bridges behind it. At this moment it supporta itself
on one side on Peschiera, on the other on Goito, and oa
the left bank of the river only occupies Villa Franca,
where we have a rather large division, which bas 2,000
Austrian prisoners in its power, with whom it does not
know what to do. The brigade of Savoy conducted
itself. heroically; that is, a great number remained on
the field of honour, and it thus nobly, but cruelly, paid
its debt to the country. The most anxious uncertainty
still exists with respect to General d'Aviernoz; some few
persons believing that he remained in the hands of the
Austrians, whilst the general belief is that he was shame•
fully 'assassinated by the Modenese at the moment at
which he endeavoured to lead them back to the engage-
ment; The flight of the Lombards and Tuscans from the
field of battle, of which-we spoke yesterday, is not yet
denied, though we should be happy to receive and insert
any contradiction. At the hour at which we write, the
two Cabinets of the Tuileries and of Turin are agitating
the question of an immediate intervention of the French
army. We know not yet what the two ;Governments
will decide in their wisdom; but let us not disquiet our-
selves in advance in a political respect. with regard to
the arrival of our allies, if they be called in. The French
army is that of a republic, and as such is republican,.
but it will not practise propagandism. Its austere dis-
cipline, its simple traditions of glory and honour do "
not leave it other pre-occupations. Let us, in this re-
spect, have no more apprehensions than King Charles
Albert. If he thinks right to have recourse to the
powerful sword of our neighbours, let us not show our.
selves 'un,grateful, and let us not forget that, the case
arising, it is war with Austria which France undertakes
at her risk and peril, accepting our fields of battle to
strike her first blows."

An interesting discovery has been made of three
caverns in a hill called Kepshead, on the northeast side
of Ulverston Sands, where workmen are employed is
getting rocks for the construction of the weir. One of
these caverns, all of which are similar to those in Der-
byshire, so well known to the inquiring tourist, is a
chamber some 25 feet in length, and 16 in height. The
second is described as a beautiful Gothic temple, 50
feet long, the roof and walls of which seem composed of
stalactites and petrefactions of every shape and figure,
" here and there sparkling like diamonds, and glitter-
ing like rubies, and every part most chaste and beau-
tiful." The entrance of these caverns is the forepart
of the rock, about twelve or fourteen feet high.—Cum-
berland Pacquet.
FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.—lnforma'
lion has been received at the Bank of England that

ment, had been put in circulation at the end of the me-
tropolis. Those that have been discovered are dated
Plymouth, November 16, 1847, No. 35,021. They may
be easily detected by inspecting the water-marks, which
are clumsily executed.
GOVERNMENT OFFICE RETIREMENTS.—The stun

for the current year for the payment of retired clerks
from the War Office. One indvidual receives 2,5001.
