LATEST NEWS.

THE WAR IN ITALY.

The following telegrams have been received at I
Mr. Renter's office :
TURIN, JUNE 6.
The municipality of Milan delivered, in the pre-
sence of the Emperor at the head-quarters to-day,
the following address to the ling :
The municipality of Milan is proud of being
able to make use of its most precious privilege in
being the interpreter of theirfellow-citizens at this
grave crisis. They are willing to renew the pact of
1848, and to proclaim again before the Italian nation
the great fact which has required 11 years for its
full development in the intelligence and hearts of the
people. The annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont
has been this morning procla.medby us at the very
time when the artillery of the enemy could have
thundered against us, and while their battallons were
even in our public places. The annexation of Lom-
bardy to Piedmont is the first step in the new way
of pullic right, which allows nations to be the free
disposers of their own destinies. The heroic Sar-
dinian army and our brave allies, who insist upon
Italy being free as far as the Adriatic, will soon
achieve the magnanimous enterprise.
Receive, Sire, the homage of the town of Milan
at our hands, and believe that our hearts belong
entirely to you.
Our cry is—The King and Italy for ever !
Milan, sth of June, 1859.
Signed by seven assessors of the municipality.
The allies are pursuing the enemy, who is in
full retreat to the Adda. They have seized flags
and cannon belonging to the Austrians in great
quantities, as well as small arms, and a consider-
able amount of ammunition: likails are wanting.

TURIN, 'TUESDAY.

Official bulletin published this day :
The allies took in the battle of Magenta four
pieces of cannon, two flags, and 4,000 bags (?).
Seven thousand Austrians have been made pri-
soners, and 20,000 put hors de combat, out of 120,000
Austrians engaged.
The loss on the side of the French was about
5,000 killed and wounded, and among the former
are Generals Espinasse and Leclerc.
Milan has been barricaded and defended by
6,000 National Guards.
The Government of the King of Sardinia is
already in operation at Como'and Sondrio.

TURIN, JUNE 7.
The first private letter from the battle-field of
Magenta has arrived here.
The Imperial and Sardinian Guards were engaged
against the Austrian masses. The Guards were
attacked, and were unable to advance, but never-
theless firmly resisted the enemy. The Zouaves and
Guards lost and retook their position six times.
At last General Niel's army made an offensive
movement, which was irresistible. The enemy en-
deavoured to surprise the right wing of our army,
but a movement of General M‘Mahon rendered the
attempt ineffectual. The efforts of the enemy relaxed
somewhat for a moment, and the conflict then began
again with renewed fury. General 111[ Mahon was
triumphant, and the battle was won.
It is asserted that the King entered Milan to day,
and to-morrow the victory will be celebrated at
Turin.

VIENNA, TUESDAY.
Ammagst the wounded at the battle of Magenta
are Baron, Reisschach, three generals, and three
officers of the staff. Two officers of the staff are
missing, and one major is killed. The loss on both
sides is very great. Milan is entirely evacuated by
our troops.
The telegraphic communication between Milan,
Pavia, and Verona is interrupted.

BERNE, JUNE 7.

At Laveno, a port of war on the Lago Maggiore,
the Austrians have raised from the bottom of the
lake some barques, which had been scuttled and
sunk, and have laden them with various articles to
be towed by steam to Switzerland.

BERNE, JUNE 7.

Tlxove ay. ..art Goo A,,strians at iaveno. A
detachment of General Garibaldi's corps has suites
along the shores of the Lago Maggiore in several
barques, disarmed the Austrian Custom guards, and
everywhere carried off the public treasure.

The Independance of Brussels publishes an analysis
of an important circular which Prince Gortschakoff,
Foreign Minister of Russia, has addressed to the
diplomatic representatives of the Emperor at the
several Courts of Germany. The Prince strongly
recommends a policy of non-intervention as to this
Italian war ; and in very explicit terms denies the
right of the Germanic Confederation to interfere in
the war which Austria has commenced respecting
one of her non-Germanic possessions. He appeals
to the treaties by which the Confederation is con-
stituted, and declares that if Germany goes to the
aid of Austria in this war the political equilibrium
resulting from these treaties will be destroyed. The
circular is described as one of considerable length,
firm in its tone, and remarkably clear, as Russian
circulars are wont to be.

PARIS, JUNE 8.

The Moniteur contains the nomination of Gen.
MacMahon to the rank of Marshal with the title of
Duke of Magenta. General Regnault de St.
Angely has also been raised to the rank of Mar-
shal.
The Moniteur also says, that the Imperial Govern-
ment having in concert with England resolved on
renewing diplomatic relations with his Majesty the
King of Naples, M. Brcnier has been appointed
Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of that Sove-
reign.

TURIN, JUNE 8.

OFFICIAL BULLETIN.

The part of Upper Lombardy, which has been
freed from the Austrians, has hastened to proclaim
Victor Emmanuel as King. Volunteers are rapidly
arriving from all parts to join General Garibaldi s
Corps, which is pursuing the enemy beyond Monza.
General Urban's armyafter a precipitate retreat from
Varese has become dispersed and his scattered
soldiers have been taken prisoners and disarmed.

MARSEILLES, TUNE 7.
Advices from Naples to the .4th state that
a modification has been made in the Neapolitan
Ministry, Signori Salvatore Murena, F. Scorza,
and Ludovico Bianchini having been dismissed
from the posts of Public Works, Justice, and Police.
A provisional police under one intendent and two
magistrates has been established.
A royal decree has been published appointing
the following Ministers without portfolio, namely :
—General Filanghieri, Prince Cassaro, and Duke
Serra Capriola, reserving, says the decree, the right
to make use of their enlightenment and experience.
An official declaration of neutrality has been
made.
A levy of 2,500 men for the royal navy has been
ordered.

VERONA, JUNE 6.
(via Vienna)
The Austrian army has taken up a strong flank.
ing position between Abbiate Grasso and Binasco.

A letter from Novara of the 3d, in the Cotzstitu-
donne/ says:
"1 yesterday visited the camp of the Turcos. Their
manners are most strange. Though they have tents, they
sleep outside them, discipline not absolutely requiring that
they should deprive themselves of air. When the hour of
dinner arrives, an ox is slaughtered, and the meat is dis-
tributed whils,t, still warm ; but many a Kabyle does not
wait until his portion is cooked, but eats it raw. You
have great confidence in these soldiers ?' I said to an officer.
I only fear cavalry on their account,' he answered. They
rush up to the mouth of cannon—they bear down entire
ranksof infantry—but a soldier on horseback inspires them
with a certain fear.' On entering Novara, the Turcos had
a singular idea :—Every man went into the barber's shops
and had himself shaved. Crowds collected to see the
operation done ; but what can have caused the Turcos thus
to violate their custom I am unable to tell."

The Opinione of Turin has a letter from Vercelli,
Which says :
" The Zouaves rivalled our own men in trying to prevent
the King from being touched at Palestro ; but seeing that
they could not prevent his Majesty from advancing they
ran before him. Thirteen Zouaves took a cannon ; 12 of
them were wounded—some in the head, the others in the
arms or legs—a corporal alone was not touched. A Zouave
who was covered with blood, but whose ardour was un -
abated, Said to his comrades—' We have no horses to draw
the cannon—but let;us take 12 prisoners and harness them
to the piece 1' This was done,, and the gun was taken to
Palestro in triumph."

A Turin letter of the 3d says :
"The Swiss journals state that -Garibaldi has received at
Como, from Piedmont, a reinforcement of 8,000 men; they
should have said eight hundred. These men were the last

of his corps who remained here to complete their instruc-
tion. He has in all, under his orders at present, about
4,000 men, 4 cannon, 60 guides on horseback, without
counting the volunteers whom he may have recruited be-
tween 'Varese and Como, and who, though assuredly brave,
are still inexperienced. The muskets of his infantry, un-
fortunately, are defective compared with those of the Aus-
trians ; the latter, being rifled and having conical balls,
carry twice as far as ordinary muskets."
Another letter from Turin, in the Salut Public
of Lyons, says :
"In the affair of Como, General Urban caused the only
man of Garibaldi's corps who fell into his hands to be shot.
On receivin news of this atrocity, Garibaldi gave orders to
decimate two out of the 21Austrian prisoners whom he had
made—and when this was done, he called the oldest of the
prisoners before him, and said, I set you at liberty. Re-
turn to General Urban, and tell him that since he has
caused one of my soldiers to be shot, I have shot two of his ;
and let him be assured that:if I learn that a single prisoner
is executed again, I swear to shoot every ono who may fall
into my hands, be he Marshal or Emperor of Austria.
Let him not force me to show what the wrath of a father,
whose child, scarcely aged thirteen, was assassinated by
Austrian soldiers, may drive him to do.' "

General Count de Goyon, who commands the
French forces at Rome, published the following
order of the day, day 28th ult. :
" The French Ambassador has arrived from
Alessandria, where he had the honour of seeing
the Emperor Napoleon. His Majesty charged hin
to express to you his satisfaction at your conduct
and your attitude at Rome. I may add that I
have to make known that the services rendered by
you to the Holy Father and to his Government
are considered by our Emperor as being of
such great importance that he will one day prove
it to you by marks of his kindness. lam happy
and proud to have to transmit such testimonies of
approbation to my fine division, and I am confident
that it will conduct itself in such a manner as to
justify and deserve them."

The Emperor of Austria, in addressing the authori-
ties of Trieste when on his way to Verona, expressed
himself in the following terms :—" I hope soon to
see the miseries of war cease, and I trust the town
of Trieste will be spared such a visitation."

" The manner in which the official and semi-
official organs relate the events of the war excites,"
says a letter from Vienna of the Ist, in the Hamburg
News, "a great and just discontent. Notwithstand-
ing the reiterated assurances of the Vienna Govern-
ment, that the public shall be promptly and faith-
fully informed of everything that takes place, the
official journals have not yet mentioned a word
about the invasion of Garibaldi or of the combat of
Palestro, which took place on the 30th ult. A
report was promised, but it has not yet been pub-
lished."
