LOMBARDY.

Intelligence from Verona of the 27th announces
fresh disaster for CZIARLES ALBERT. The Pied-
montese on the 26th made an attempt to retake the
heights of Volta from the Austrians, but were repulsed
with great loss.

The following bulletin has been issued by RA-
DETSKY :

" ARMY BULLETIN.
" The valour of our army has defeated the King
Charles Albert at Cartozza, after a battle of three days.
We are closely pursuing the retreating army.
" God save the Emperor.
(Signed) " RADETSKY, Field Marshal.
"Head quarters. Palazzo Alzarea, July 26, 1848."
The Ventidue Murzo 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 Zuccut, orders that the mobilised National
Guard shall march within five days.—General Arvro-
ram 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, corning from Genoa, have arrived at Pavia,
and others are expected, making in all a sivision 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 a
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. There 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 Lombardian 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 Risorgirnento 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 arrivedr
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 :—CASATI, President without port.
folio; PARETO, Foreign Affairs; PLEZZA, Interior;
Ricci, Finance; GIOJA, Grace and Justice; RAT-
' TAZZI Public Instruction; PALEOCAPA, Public
Works; COLLEGNO, War; Duitipir, Commerce and
Agriculture; MOFFA DI Lisio, 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. This
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, Castella 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 heard at Verona, because
the Austrians were pursuing the enemy closely."
We learn from Brescia, 27th ult., that, in conic..
quence of orders received from CHARLES 'ALDERT,
Brescia was being put in a state of defence, the ram-
p.rts armed with cannon, and barricades raised.
The National Saboisien 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 he;
besides, a reverse is a chance of war, and has often a
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 Mincio, after having broken down all the
bridges behind it. At this moment it supports itself
on one side on Peschiera, on the other on Goito, and on
the left bank of the river only occupies Villa Franca,
where we have a rather large division, which has 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 be was shame-
fully. assassinated by the Modenese at the moment at
which he endeavoured to lead them back to tbo 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 neighbour; let us.not show our-
selves ungrateful, 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 Repshead, on the northeast ride
of Ulverston Sands, where workmen are employed in
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. 'fhe
second is described ass 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.
tifut." 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.--Informa-
tion has been received at the Bank of Englund that
notes for Si, purporting to he issued by that establish-
ment, hud been put in circulation at the end of the me.
t! opoli.. Those that have been discovered are dated
PI) mon th, November 16, 1847, No. 35,021. They may
be easily detected by inspecting the water-marks, which
are clumsily executed.
