" The Austrians have about° tied their position
before Montechiaro _and have' r efired beyond the
Chiese; .the decision is therefore d 9../ ayed. The alliedarmies are following them as c lost las is compatiblewith their further plans. Whe re the enemy; will
stop now it is of course impossibtio to say whether
he will place himself boldly in ad Ch 'nee and &fend
the great approaches on the famot is ~ %ids of CaSti-
glione and .Lonato, or whether he wit./ take a gang
position sornowhere to oppose the ..Atirseso passagte
as he did in 1848 at Volta ; or st thether he will
a:together witL'draw behind the la 4 incio line ; or,
fina.ily, whether As, is preparing for s o me bold offen-
sive movement, are all of them sums( ss itions equally
possible, and for us equally probabl.e. His choice
will, I think, depend on whether he has received
the reinforcements which he was I ?xi )ecting, and
whether he thinks thss In sufficient to hasten the
decision. But, whatevt Is: his plans inn v be, they
will be considerably mot lified by the mos -ements of

have seen such things be fore now, and may - see
them again.
"At the same time that tl ie Austrians viithd re sr
from the position before Mon lechiaro they like'vvise
crossed over the Chiese, on the main road . from
Brescia to Verona, and Garib sldi occupied y ester-
day the position in which th e Austrians w. ere on
the 15th, the day of the last s kirmish. B y this
time some of our outposts are as 'ready, I dart ! say,
beyond the Chiese.
" Yesterday and to day the tow 11 of Bresai a had
its day of joy; yesterday the festive entry of the
King, and this morning the arrival of the Er aperor
almost without any one knowing an: vthing a 7 3011 t it.
Last night in celebration of thessects sion the 2.e was
'an illumination for enssmbia4h `p "1 tied Of P aii. I
have seen since the triumphs.l mappl's of ti to two
Sovereigns, and the pretty. effect was p.rodis, ced, by.
.
very simple and inexpensive means, vte., (shines,
paper lanterns of the three sacred col, uts.' They
gave a subdued light, in *which, the crowd, ss below
appeared with regular stage effect. Ark tat one
cannot help remarking at every similar c CI sasion is
the wonderful behaviour of the crowd, ne k • pushing,
no quarrelling, everything as peaceful an d. polite as
if the people were in a drawing-room, an .d. not even
the sight of a policeman—a being why 3 has alto-
gether vanished with the Ausrians. A 'stray dou-
anier, or exciseman, who has pinned a tricolour
rosette on his cap, is the only remain ing bastard
specimen of this genus. The police a s a distinct
department, as you know, is abolished by the de-
cree of organisation published for Lon lbardy. It
forms a new branch of the internal adrt- tinistration,
and there is better order and security • than there
ever has been.
" Yesterday afternoon the King went ; in an open
carriage to the Emperor's head-quarter s, which are
quite close here, and this morning the latter came
quietly in the early morning and established
himself in the Casa Fenaroli, which Napoleon I.
occupied repeatedly, and which had be Ell prepared
for the reception of the nephew. Of c purse, while
either of the two Sovereigns stays, we s shall have
holyday and a repetition of the ilium inations and
the enthusiasm. It will be quite a competition
with Garibaldi and his corps, who were the fa-
vourites far ahead hitherto. Not unnaturally
either. It was they before whom the Austrians
withdrew. They appeared as the b eralds of the
release, and had consequently the fits it burst of en-
thusiasm and affection, which I thin] t will benever
effaced from the minds of the Brescia sus. ' ' •
"As I have mentioned Garibaldi . and his corps
it will perhaps interest you to hear how he came
from Bergamo to Brescia. . The Austrians had
scarcely withdrawn from Bergamo s when a messen-
ger was caught, on the road who - •brought orders
from head-quarters' to hold Bergan so at any price,
if it had not been given up yet. It would have
been rather awkward had the ord or come before,
for Garibaldi without any cannon would scarcely
have thought of attacking the Ausi ;rians in a town
enclosed by high ramparts, with .3) sly two outlets.
As it was, the National Guard fell to making bar-
ricades so as to keep the place a gainst the Aus-
trians should they attempt to return .ln the mean-
time Garibaldi went after the Austt slams, who were
retiring towards Brescia. In ler to mislead
them he turned down towards R. man°, which is
close to the high road from Milan to Brescia; the
Austrians followed to bar the road • to Brescia, they
had scarcely gone off on that sccnit when Gari-
baldi turned again to the no rth, and, mak-
ing a march of 45 miles in less than 24
hours, appeared before and in Brescia before
the Austrians had the remotest idea of his
whereabouts. How little they kne w appears from
the fact that. the Major attached as chef d'etat
major to General Urban's division was caught with
several orderlies in the town of Brescia, into which
he had come from the neighbourhood, never sus-
pecting the presence of Garibaldi's corps.
"The most beautiful thing, however, was that
while the main body went in all haste to Brescia,
twenty-four men were put on two omnibuses, the
two officers commanding them, Colonel Turr and
Major Camozzi, following in little two-wheeled
carts of the country. The whole went off to Lake
Iseo and raised the Val Canonica. The people rose
immediately, some 4,500 stand of arms were ready,
with which the National Guard was armed, the
Austrian steamer on the lake was taken possession
of, and the two officers returned; leaving the
twenty-four men there as a garrison, but bringing
250 volunteers away to Garibaldi's camp.
" Such marvellous feats of mobility can of conrsn
only be done with troops who are unencumbered
by baggage ; a little bag containing a shirt, and
perhaps a pair of socks, is the only baggage whitsh
officers or men have. They make war according to
the late Sir Charles Napier's ideas. They have
good boots, with leather gaiters up to the middle .
of the legs; the trousers, rather loose, are stuck
into the gaiters; a short tunic of light gray linen,
and over it a gray coat reaching down to the knees,
a light cap, and the rifle complete the accoutre-
ment. There is no difference in this respect be-
tween officers and soldiers. If, as is natural after
such marches, things are worn out, the inhabitants
of the first town in which they appear give of their
own free will ten times more than they want. The
troops have thus such plenty that Government
never even thinks of supplying any of th • eir wants.
