Letters from the :Piedmontese army of the 24th
state that on the previous day General Asp with
25,000 men, came out from Verona, forced the
position of Sona and Somma Campagna, and drove
the Piedmontese from all the country be-
tween the Upper Adige and the Lake of
Garda, and the plain of Verona and the
Mincio. At the same time an Austrian force of t,OOO
descended the Alontebeldo, and, after taking the
heights of La Corona, ejected the Piedmontese from
the Plateau of Rivoli. The beaten Sardinians,
whose force was not one-fourth that of the enemy,
retired opportunely, some to Peschiera, others
across the Mincio, and a few to Villafranca.
On the 24th General Asrau attempted to force
the Mincio at Mouzanvano, and to establish a
bridge at Salionza, but at the hour the courier left,
he had not succeeded at either point. He proposed,
it was said, descending to Vallegio, and trying to
force the river at Borghetto, as the heights at hi:, the
lniterfootonspteisdsewe of the river, command the right. The Tied-

at this side of it are occupied. The King, with
25,000 men, was at Villafranca. It was said he was
marching towards Goito by one account, while another
alleged that he was moving on Somma Campagna. The
King's hesitation arose from the uncertainty which
prevailed of the enemy's ulterior object, as it was
still uncertain whether he meant to follow up his
successes on the right of the Mincio, attack the posi-
tion of Goito, destroy the field-works and entrench-
ments made there by the Piedmontese, and then enter
Mantua by La Graazie, or retire by the road now open
to him to the Upper Adige, cross the river at Pon-
tone or Bussolargo, and march into Verona by the
high road of the Tyrol, liberated by his late operations.
The fortresses of Peschiera were closed even to the
Piedmontese troops, and all those who defended the
passage of the Mincio have retired in some disorder
on Sonato, where they are to rally and be reformed.
A perfect panic prevailed in the country on the right
of the Mincio, so much so that all the visitors at De-
zerzano, on the Lake of Garda, 10 miles from Pes-
chiera, on the high road to Milan, fled in dismay on
Monday night to Brescia. The Austrians had com-
mitted no excesses, and the cavalry that appeared at
Pozzolongo on Tuesday morning, on alighting at the
hotel, declared that they meant to pay for everything
they asked for.
It was reported in Paris yesterday that CHARLES
ALBERT had attacked the Austrians at Somma
Campagna, and completely defeated them, having
taken several pieces of cannon and 6,000 prisoners.
