TURIN, JUNE 21.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.

According to advices from Brescia to the 18th
inst. the Sardinian army preserves its positions
before Brescia at Rezzato and Castenedolo. The
French army occupies Brescia and its environs in
line with the Sardinians.

On the 17th inst. the Austrians re-occupied Mon•
techiaro with a considerable force.

Fano, Urbino, Fossombrone, Sesi, and Ancona
have pronounced for the national cause.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(Second Edition) says—

" I understand the Governments of Turin and
that of France have agreed in recommending the
Tuscans not to demand the absorption of Tuscany
in the Kingdom of Piedmont. I also learn that
the Emperor Napoleon and King Victor Emmanuel
desire the Italians of all the States of the pen-
insula to employ their energies in assisting the
military action of the allies, leaving all ques-
tions of government and annexation to be
discussed and decided upon after the expul-
sion of the Austrians from Italy. The Emperor
seems to wish the Italians would remember his own
words on a late solemn occasion :—" Italiens, ne
soyez aujourd'hui que soldats, demain vows serez
citoyens libres d'un grand pays.
" The Papal Nuncio at Paris has received assur-
ances again that the allies will not offend in any
way the neutrality of the Roman States, or encour-
age revolt in the Pontiff's dominions.

" There is no truth in the assertion of the Bel-
gian papers that M. Kossuth had received a
French passport to travel through France into Italy.
The illustrious Hungarian patriot has not received
any favours directly or indirectly from the Go-
vernment or authorities of Napoleon 111. The
French Government, I may add, does not encourage
any revolutionary movement in Hungary.
"I hear a despatch has reached the Empress at
St Cloud, stating that an important engagement
had taken place this morning between the Allies
and an Austrian force near Montechiaro. The
Austrians had been driven back, and the main body
of the French army had advanced considerably.
No important news front the seat of war had
reached official quarters to-day up to three o'clock.
All then known was that the Sardinian army
maintained its positions before Brescia, at Benet°,
and Castenedolo. The French were at Brescia and
the neighbourhood with the Sardinians. The Aus-
trians on the 17th re-occupied Montechiaro with a
large body of cavalry.

" We are still expecting to hear of a great battle,
which may last, it is calculated, three days."

The following appears in the Moniteur

" In the precipitation with which the head-quarters of
the Austrian army were removed from Abbialte-Grasso,
after the battle of Magenta, several important papers were
forgotten. Among them is a report or journal dated 3d
June, at midnight, and signed ' H. de Redern,' major of
the staff, and containing precise details concerning the com-
bats of Palestro. It is curious to compare the recital of M.
de Redern with that given by the Austrian journals.
After having spoken of the force and situation of the Aus-
trian army, which had 21 brigades between the Ticino and
the Sesio, the report continues as follows :
"‘ In the afternoon of the 30th May, a Piedmontese
division warmly attacked the Austrian advanced posts be-
tween Vercelli and Palestro. Tho battalion of Grer.ndiers of
the Regiment of Leopold (brigade Weigl, of the 7th corps)
held Palestro for some time, but retired before superior
forces. A column of two companies, sent in sup-
port with two pieces of artillery, was repulsed,
and lest its guns. Another battalion was brought up but
it could not support the fire. The division Lilia, of the 7th
corps, composed of the brigades Weigl and Dorndorf, then
took up a position at Robbio. On receiving this news, the
head••quarters were removed in the night of the 30th to
Mortara. The division Jellachich of the 2d corps (brigades
Szabo and Rudelka) was marched from Cergnano towards
Robbio to support the division Lilia, while the division
Herdy, of the same corps, went in the night to Mortara,
where it arrived at five o'clock in the morning of the 31st.
On the 31st General Zobel was ordered to retake Palestro
with the two brigades of his corps (the 7th) and those of
the 2d corps. The brigade Dorndorf was directed to attack
it in front ; the brigade Weigl to proceed on the right of the
Austrian line and attack the left of the enemy ; the brigade
Szabo, leaving Rosasco, was to turn the enemy by its own
right ; and the brigade Rudelka to form the reserve. The
combat commenced about nine o'clock. In spite of the
bravery of the column Weigl, it could not debouch because
the road, being narrow, would only allow two pieces of
artillery to be brought into play, while the enemy had
opened a successful fire with two howitzers. The general
received a musket ball through his arm, but notwithstand-
ing the wound, he remained for four hours after on the
field of battle. The brigade Dorudorf advanced as far 84
