Advices from Venice C;l' the 13th state, that the
Austrians have abandoned Mestre.
The I'ressc contains an article given as communi-
cated which states that the German central power
has just made by its representative, M. Ihca.scilEa,
overtures to the Sardinian Cabinet for the purpose of
facilitating an honourable peace between Austria and
King CHARLES ALBERT. In order to prove that this
step only emanates from a sincere desire to maintain
universal peace in the common interest of Europe
I\l, HICKSCHER is charged to inform the Court of
Turin that the German central power has already taken
all the necessary measures to aid Austria to repel a
new aggression on the part of Sardinia. Whilst the
troops of the German Confederation have been placed
at the orders of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, in order
that this latter might not need either to call to his aid
against the insurgents of Vienna Marshal RADETSRT,
nor to weaken the Austrian army in Lombardy, the
Bavarian contingent, the communication declares, is
ready to enter the Tyro and Styria, as soon as Mar-
shal RADETZKY should demand reinforcements to sup-
port the struggle in Lombardy with energy. After
having thus warned the Sardinian Government of
the dangers which it runs in continuing a war, the
chances of which have not hitherto been favourable to
it, the central German power declares a conviction
that no foreign government is more naturally called
on to act as mediator than itself, and expresses a hope
that its efforts may be successful.
The Piedmontesa Gazette of the 23d iast. announces
that King CHARLES ALBERT had appointed Baron
EuSEBE BAVI. General-in-Chief of the royal army;
Lieutenant-General CURZANOWSKI Chief of the Ge-
neral Staff; General A. OLIVIERI Commander-Ge-
neral of the troops of the division of Alessandria ; and
General RAMORINO Commander-General of the Lom-
bard troops.

The Patria of Florence of the 21st publishes six te-
legraphic dispatches from MONTANELLI to the GRAND
DuxE, all dated the 20th, and sent between 11 A.M.
and 4 P.M., which prove the state of agitation at Leg-
horn on that day. These dispatches contain in sub-
stance, that an armed demonstration is in progress at
Leghorn, and emissaries are being sent to the differ
ent parts of Tuscany; that the people in arms are
occupying the forts and the gates ; that hostages will
be required; and that the Governor has no more
power, and wishes to leave, but is retained. By
two subsequent telegraphic dispatches from
the Minister of the Interior, MONTANELLI was
ordered to lay down his powers if his authority was
not recognised, and to repair to Florence. He arrived
in fact at 11 P.M., by an extraordinary railroad train.
The Alba of Florence of the evening of the 21st, how-
ever, states that tranquillity had been restored at
Leghorn. Some persons had attempted to plant a
tree of liberty there. MONTANELLI had hastened to
the spot, and harangued the people, who loudly cheered
him. Several agitators had been arrested.
The Patria of Florence of the 21st states that G.A.5.4.0
BALDI has opened registers for such volunteers as.
will follow him to Loml?atkly, where he ietends
waging a war of eiderbittnation, giving no quarter
and accepting. none. ~ Many young men have already
inscribed their names.
