" Milan, 15th April, 1848."
On the 10th instant, General DURANDO issued the
following address at Bologna, to the " Corps of Ope-
ration," spi the order of the day :
" Soldiers !

" The noble land of Lombardy, formerly the glo-
rious theatre of a war of independence, when
ALEXANDER 111. blessed the vows of PONTIDA, is
now again trod by brave men, with whom we desire
to divide the perils and the victory. These, like our-
selves, have been blessed by the hand of a great
PONTIFF, as were our ancient progenitors. He, the
holy, the just, and merciful, above all men, has felt
that against those that trample on every right, on
every law divine and human, the last argument of
arms remains the only one just and possible. That
heart of heavenly goodness could not be other than
afflicted at thoughts of the evil brought in the train
of war, and could never forget that those who de-
scend into the field, whatsoever their banner, are all
equally his children. He desired to give time for re-
petvanee, and the word that was to make you the in-
struments of Divine vengeance remained for a tiine sus-
pended on his august lips. But the moment came when
clemency would have been nothing less than culpable
connivance with iniquity. That man of GOD who
had wept over the massacres and assassinations of the
31 of January, but hoped at the time that they might
have been the effect of the brutal and transitory li-
cense of an unbridled soldiery, is now constrained to
see that Italy, unless capable of defending herself,
must be abandoned to the sackage, violations, and
cruelties of a savage militia—to incendiaries, massa-
cres, in a word, to total ruin ; he has seen RADETZLY
carrying war against the cross of CHRIST, tearing down
the gates of the sanctuary, spurring on the horse to
profane the altar, violating the ashes of our fore-
fathers by the impure hords of his Croats. The holy
PONTIFF has blessed your swords, which, together
with those of CHARLES ALBERT, are to advance,
united, for the extermination of the enemies of GOD
and Italy—of those who have outraged Pius IX.,
have profaned the churches of Mantua, assassinated
our Lombardian bri thren, and by their iniquity
placed themselves beyond the limits of every
law. Such a war of civilization against barbarism
is therefore not only national, but actually Christian.
Soldiers ! it is therefore fit, and I have so ordered,
that we should all move to it adorned with the cross
of CHRIST. As many as belong to the corps of
operation will wear it on their heart, as they see on
mine. With this, and in this, we be conquerors,
as were our fathers. Let our war-cry be—GOD
WILLETH IT."
This order of the day seems to have awakened much
enthusiasm at Bologna. The Italian° rises into a
strain remarkably indicative of the state of feeling,
not only in the city, but in Rome :—" The campaign
is opened with the magnificent order of the day from
our General DURAND°. With the cross of CHRIST
on our hearts, we shall assail the enemy of Italy and
of GOD. We shall force them to swallow the blas-
phemies they have imprecated against the most Holy
PONTIFF. We shall purge his sacred soil, for so many
years profaned by them, and now, with such atro-
cious cruelty, deluged by streams of innocent blood.
GOD willeth it,' we shall go. GOD willeth it,' we
shall combat. ' GOD willeth it,' we shall conquer.
Yes, we shall make Italy ONE, as Pius wills it---as
CHARLES ALBERT bills it—as Milan, Venice, Sicily
and all the States of Italy will it."

The Milan Gazette of the 21st instant contains the

" The entire of Southern Tyrol has declared in favour
of the good cause, with the exception only of the Valley
of the Adige, which is kept in awe by the presence 0,
the Austrian troops concentrated at Trenturn. Major
Trolli, of the Piedmontese army, was taken prisoner in
a sortie effected by the Austrian garrison of Peschiera.
The Pieduiontese forces occupy the most advantageous
positions near Verona. The heavy artillery has arrived.
Two envoys from Parma came to offer King Charles
Albert the co-operation of their troops, which he ac-
cepted. General I)urando, with the pontifical division,
was to blockade the fortress of Ferrara."
