LOMBARDY AND VENICE.

The Piedmonlese Gazette of the 27th states officially
that General DURANDO has been ordered with his
division to the Frioul. Advices from Venice of the
23d announce that after a vigorous resistance Udine
has been taken by the Austrians, by the treachery of
the Bishop and a certain Colonel Rossi, of the
Frioul. It appears from this capture of Udine that
General NUGENT is making every effort to joie,
HADETZKY. The Austrians, having made an attempt
to take possession once more of the northern point of

the lake of Garda, by disembarking at Ponsle, Were
repulsed at the point of the bayonet by the column
Thani berg. The volunteers have fortified Rocca
d'Anfo, and garrisoned Vestone. By a proclamation
from Venice of the 24th the inhabitants are informed
that the Tuscan General FERRARI was on his march
to the Frioul, with artillery and cavalry, and that
DURAND() had sent him a reinforcement of three
battalions of grenadiers, chasseurs, and Swiss troops.

VV ALLACHIA.
We read in the Vienna Gazette of the 23d ult.:--
4* News has been received trum Bucharest of the lards
and from Jassy of the 14th. The sons of the Boy
uhu have been educated at Paris, and a part of the
nobility who have no places under the Government, have
been greatly excited by the recent events in Germany.
The conspirators at Jassy have tried to constrain Prince
Stourdza to grant reforms, and to free the country from
:he prou ctorate of Russia. Slat) conspirators entered
the palace of the Prince in the night, and demanded of
him the dissolution of the states, the liberty of
the
press, and the organization of the National Guard. The
Prince, under the influence of alarm, granted all they
asked. On the nsxt day, encouraged probably by the
Russian Consul, M. de liaotzteue, he caused all the con-
spirators to be arrested, and condi o ed under strong
escorts into Bulgaria. The Russian ,nsul assured; he
Prince that he might rely upon the support o Builds
and that five regiments were ready to enter Molderis
and maintain the existing treaties. But this attempt
is
nut likely to be the last. At Bucharest, Prince 13Mesco
has declared to the Boyards that forty thousand Rus-
sians were ! repared to enter the principalities,
adjuring
the nobles to save Wallachia from such trighttul dis-
asters. The movement was thus stopped for
th•

Iresent."

GREECE.
Letters from Athens, of the 20th April, announce
that the National Bank of Greece had been compelled
to suspend cash payment 3.

This case has been some time before the Court.
The defendants were charged with having COnoi
spired together to use the dyeing Inateriali
he ir employer, a dyer in Oxenden•street, for their
t
own use and profit, therefore defrauding thehi:
employer of his just profits. It appeared hat t-
prosecutor allowed Butler and the other persons in hi!
edloyment to dye articles Lelongin to themaelves'ing
in
their families. This indulgence the gy
abused, and e
took
in d) Bing on their own account. The defendants wee
found guilty of misdemeanour. Subsequently se
placation was made to the court on their behalf
lor an arrest of judgment, or for a nevr trig/.
on the ground that if they were guilty of I.:gado:o°ll3°r'
they were equally guilty of felony, and that the fiticliDg
was therefore bad, and ought to be set aside.
