LATEST NE-WS.

THE WAR IN ITALY.

The following telegrams have been reoeived at
Mr. Router'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 King :
The municipality of Milan is proud of being
able to make use of its most precious privilege in
being the interpreter of their fellow-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 proclaimedby us at the very
time when the artillery of the enemy could have
thundered against us, and while their battalions were
even in our public plaCes. The annexation of Lom-
bardy to Piedmont is the first step in the new way
of public 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 hoinage 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 sillies arc iniraling 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. Details 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 er.emy. 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 M'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.

Amoagst 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, JUNT:
There are still 500 Austrians at Laveno. A
detachment of General Garibaldi's corps has sailed
along the shores of the Lae Maggiore in several
barques, disarmed the Austrian Custom guards, and
everywhere carried off the public treasure.

The Indepe?idance 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. Brenier has been appointed
Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of that Sove-
reign.

(via Vienna)
The Austrian army has taken up a strong flank-
ing position between Abbiate Grasso and Bivasco.

A letter from Novara of the 3d, in the Constitu-
tionnel 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 whilst 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 P' 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
ranks of 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 I' 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
