FRANCIS SosErH has at last started for the seat
of war. He was accompanied by the Grand Dukes
or rather the ex-Grand Duke of Tuscany, and by
Generals HESS and GRUNNE. There will thus be
two Emperors in the field—the one with a royal,
the other with a Grand Ducal aide-de-camp. We
fancy that General HESS will be more useful than
any of the more illustrious personages on whom he
is in attendance. The Austrians have a difficult
game to play, more especially since GARIBALDI has
succeeded in planting the standard of revolt in
Lombardy. He seems to have gained two, if not

three, victories over the German troops—having
first repulsed them from Yarese and captured several

cannon ; then attacked them at Como from whence
they were driven with considerable loss, while he
was welcomed with the utmost enthusiasm, and the
town itself illuminated. The Austrians thou
retired on Ca.merlata, but there again they were
pursued by the indefatigable chief of the volunteers,
and once more compelled to retire. Nor is this
all ! The steamers on the lake are in the bands of

the patriots.
A revolution too has broken out at I,ugigiana,
in Parma, and accordingly we find that General
RIBOTTI, with Tuscan troops, has entered the ter-
ritory amidst the plaudits of the people, who
declared for VICTOR. EMMANUEL and Italian inde-
pendence. This will be a formidable blow to the
Austrians, whose flank can be turned from the
Parmesan territory, and new bodies of troops
brought forward into the most advantageous posi-
tions. It is therefore not merely the personal
victories which he has obtained, but the effects
produced thereby on the excited popula-
tions, who are everywhere ready to fling
off the galling yoke to which they have so long
been subjected, and which they have borne with
sullen discontent, muttering curses, not loud, but
deep, against their hated oppressors.
GARIBALDI is now within little more than a day's

march from Milan. With the dash and daring for
which he is so distinguished, he may make an
attempt on the Lombard capital, and there can be
no doubt that he would be welcomed as joyously
as at Como, or in ::.ny of the districts through which
he has passed. There could be but little resistance
offered. But the great question remains—whether
he could maintain the position, and whether
those who took part with him would not suffer
bitterly for their premature demonstrations
in his favour. It would be well to count the cost
before he involved others in the di ring game that

he is playing.
It is stated in the Pays that. the Austrians,
50,000 in number, had quitted Piacenza, and
marched into Lombardy. We confess that we
cannot yield the slightest credence to this rumour.
It is the line between Pavia and Piacenza on
