POLAND.

The latest accounts from Posen are up to the 16th
inst. The Polish armed corps, who had not returned
to their homes, were about to be incorporated with
the troops of the line. It has been resolved by the
Polish inhabitants to appeal to the Germanic Diet in
favour of their national re•organiaation. Bitter

complaints are heard respectirg the vacillating policy
i of the Prussian Cabinet NS,ith respect to Posen, and
also with reference to the excesses committed by the
Germans. There is some talk of raisit;g a Polish loan
in London.
It is now fully rscertained that the majority of the
Polish army at Schroda have laid down their arms.
The remainder, under the command of MtußozLawsxt,
have taken to the forests. In several plaees the scythe-
men had conflicts with the Prussian soldiers. The
Prusso-Russian frontiers continue to be well guarded.
A number of armed "Russian" Poles crossed the
frontiers at Labaschin, but were driven back by a
detachment of Prussian hussars.
The Breslau Gazette states that the report of a
, conspiracy having been discovered in the Russian
garrison at Warsaw has been confirmed. A number
of officers have been arrested.

SWEDEN.
CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY.

STOCKHOLM, APRIL 11.—All the Ministers who
held portfolios at the commencement of the Diet have
resigned, and have been replaced as follows:
Count Gustav Sparre, Minister of Justice;
Baron Gustav Niels Stjerneld, Minister of Foreign

Affairs;
C. L. Von liohenhausen, Minister of War ;
J. T. Ehrenstam, Minister of Marine;
Anders Petters Sandstromer, Minister of Finance;

Paul Genberg, Minister of Religion ;

Niels Frederick Wallenstern, Councillor of State
without portfolio ;
Ephraim Gunther, Councillor of State without

portfolio.

'The third post of importance in the Cabinet,
which is still vacant, is said to be destined for Count
PLATEN or Baron TERSMEDEN. All the Ministers
who have resigned have entered upon high official
posts. Of the new Ministers we can only say that
they are by no means men of tried political principles.
They are men of high honour, but give no guarantee
for the change of administration, which is so univer-
sally desired.
It is said that an army of observation is to bit
placed at Schonen.
Several steamers and frigates are to be fitted for
sea. A battalion of gun-boats are to be placed at
St,:ekholm station. Several vessels have also been
arranged, for the exercise of the sailors and cadets.—

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

The report of the capture of Peschiera by the troops
of CHARLES ALBERT turns out to have been un-
founded. CHARLES ALBERT made a brisk attack
upon the fortress, and was, it would appear from his
own account, compelled to retreat by the Austrians.
The following is the official report by CHARLES
ALBERT of his unsuccessful attack on Peschiera :
"Head-quarters, at Pozz,dongo.
" His Majesty, as General and Chief of his army,
wishing to drive the Austrians completely from the right
bank of the Almelo, ordered to-day an attack on Pes-
chiera.

" The report that this garrison was composed partly
of Italians, and that the remainder was completely de-
moralized, induced him to attempt an attack with
the fiell artillery only, sustained by the brigade of
General B.

"Attar having got together eight obuviers, six pieces
of battering cankon, and six pieces of field artillery, our
brave artillery commenced with four batteries, covered
with the trenches constructed the evening before, to
attack the advanced works of the enemy on the right
bank of the Mincio.

" The different companies of volunteers attacked these
works in flank, as well as those placed on the left bank
of the river. The angles dismantled, announced that our
infantry could advance to the attack of the fortifications,
and his Majesty appeared disposed to second the order
of our troops, but, foreseeing that, even in ease of suc-
cess, these works, commanded by the enemy's artillery
on the permanent fortifications of the citadel of Yes-
chiera, would have cost too much of our soldiers' blood,
which would have been shed without a definite result,
his Majesty resolved to renounce this attack; and after
having, for form sake, summoned the place to surrender,
tie ordered to resume his first position to consult on
more imp.rtant affairs.
" his Majesty has been extremely satisfied with the
courage and skill of his artillery, the enthusiasm of his
volunteers. and the order of his troops.
" h is Mhjecty, always foremost in danger, remained
several hours exposed to the fire of the enemy, with his
sous and a numerous staff."

The Opinione of Turin, of the 14th, gives further
particulars of the capture of the powder magazines
of Peschiera. The Milanese did not succeed in car-
rying off the gunpowder, for; a large body of troops
being sent from the fortress, they had only time to
throw a part into the water and to blow up the rest.
They had to retire afterwards, and barricaded them
selves in Castelnuovo, which they defended fur
a long time. They then cut their way through
the enemy, regained the steamer, passed the
night r.t Assisa, and returned to Desenzano the
next day.

Official information from Venice, of the 14th, con-
firms a report that a body of volunteers, attacked by
a more numerous force of Austrians, had been
obliged to retreat to Vicenza, where a large boly of
crusaders had arrived. The town i 3 barricaded and
well defended, as a precaution against attack. Ad-
vices from Udine, of the Bth, announce that the
Austrians who were on the Isonzo, and occupying the
line of Goritz, had been ordered to march imme-
diately upon Trieste, which was menaced by the
troops stationed in Istria and Dalmatia, who had all
declared in favour of the Italians.

The Patria, of Florence, of the 13th, says—" The
Austrians retired within the line of the Mincio have
regained courage, and fight with fury. It is of no
use to deceive ourselves, the war will be long and
bloody. It is war to the death—a war of Spaniards
against the Moors, of Greeks against Turks.
The Patria contains a letter from Ferrara, dated
the 11th, which says the affair under Mantua was
favourable to the Piedmontese, and that the Austrians
lost 8,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners.
Letters from Rome, of the 11th, say that M. Cox
BELLI had left Rome for the head-quarters of the
combined army with a view of establishing more
strongly the league between the Italian Sovereigns.
