THE SUN.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1859.

It seems to be certain that the Piedmontese ob-
tained a victory over the Austrians, and succeeded
in crossing the Sesia despite a very stubborn resist-
ance offered by their opponents. They were, it
appeared, entrenched at Palestro, Casalino, and
Verzaglio. They were carried, however, at the
point of the bayonet, and two pieces of cannon and
many small arms and prisoners were taken. We
are told that the Austrian loss was very great, but
that the extent of the Sardinian's is as yet unknown.
This, however, it must be borne in mind, comes
from Turin, and it would be strange if some esti-
mate could not be formed as to the numlser of their
own troops placed hors de combat. We fancy that
it will be; found that the assailants suffered even
more severely than their opponents. They
had a river to cross and strong entrenchments
to carry at the point of the bayonet. The Germans
had, therefore, almost everything in their favour,
arid although they were ultimately driven from
their position, they must inevitably have inflicted
heavy damage on the attacking party in the first
instance.

Vercelli was, we arc told, illuminated, and the

Emperor NAPOLEON traversed the streets on foot.
He has nothing now to fear from Italian patriots.
There are no infernal machines prepared for the
purpose of taking the life or inflicting personal
injury on the professed friend of Italy—of one who,
at all events, has undertaken the task of curbing
the pride of Austria, an preventing the continu-
ance of the oppressive domination it has so
long exercised, not only over Lombardy and Venice,
but over quasi independent States. He appears in
the new character of a Liberator ; one restoring
freedom to those who have been suffering under a
long period of misgovernment and mal. administra-
tion. His life, is, therefore now sacred, and 'guarded
with peculiar care by many who last year would
gladly have joined in any attempt to take it.
The crossing of the Sesia is in many respects an
' important advantage. It opens up a line to the
right of the Emperor's position, and by effecting a
junction a battle may be forced on the enemy in
the vicinity of Pavia. We shall soon witness the
results. The engagement, if not decisive, will at all
events be a very important one, in which the Aus-
trian soldiers will fight with the utmost determination
in order to restore their tarnished laurels, and to
prevent an unequivocal defeat. It will be remem-

bered that that of Montebello is by no means so clear
as had been asserted. It is said, and with great

appearance of truth, that only a reconnaissance was
intended, in order to ascertain the position and
strength of the enemy, in order that he might thereby
be enabled to form some estimate of their inten-

tions, and to obtain additional grounds for forming
a correct judgment as to Whether they really pro-
jected a movement in strong force against Piacenza

by Voghera.

If this be so the object Was fully ob-
tained—albeit at a far more heavy cost than

had been calculated on.

It is certain, too,

that there was no attempt at a pursuit, and that
the Austrians withdrew in perfect order from Cas.

teggio, anaafterwarde to the right bank of the Po,

from whence they had started. A conflict between

Pavia and Piacenza would be far more important
and more sanguinary. The Austrians would then

have no possible excuse for giving way. It would
be na mere reconnaissance, the object whereof could
