SARDINIA.

The King of Sardinia has issued the following
order of the day, dated from his head-quarters at
Alessandria, May 5 :
" On the 3d and 4th the enemy attempted to pass the Po
opposite Frassineto and Valenza. The troops of the 17th
Regiment, the Bth battalion of Bersaglieri, the Ist, 17th,
and 18th batteries, entrusted with the defence of that posi-
tion, stood the enemy's fire with intrepidity, and frustrated
his attempt. His Majesty the King, highly satisfied with
the firm and praiseworthy behaviour displayed by these
troops, and with the intelligent manner in which they were
commanded by their chiefs, Colonel Bozzoli, Major Volpel-
landi, and Captains Sobrero, Dho, and Roberti, has given
orders to the undersigned chief of the staff to inform all the
cqrps of .the army thereof by the present order of the day,
his Majeity being convinced that the first result will be
followed by other greater ones, which will increase the re-
putation and glory of the Piedmontese army.
" By order of his Majesty, 1
" Lieut.-General Chief of the Staff DELLA Rocca."

The Piedniontese Gazette publishes a short account
of the cannonade at Valenza on the 4th, stating the
number of wounded at 10, besides Captain Roberti
and one man killed. The latter, a corporal of
Bersaglieri (or riflemen), named Albini, being
mortally wounded, nevertheless crawled to a hillock
in order to have one shot more at the enemy. The
operations of the enemy near Frassineto are officially
described as follows :

" After some insignificant encounters of cavalry during
the first days of the war, and in which our troops retarded
the enemy's march, we have now to mention facts of greater
importance. On the 3d of May, about thirty minutes past
four p.m., the- enemy in considerable force reconnoitred
the left bank of the Po, opposite Frassineto, with an
attempt to cross over to the right bank. The
enemy's forces were drawn up near Terranova, protected by
the dam of the river, whence they opened a heavy fire of
musketry and rockets against our advanced posts. The
troops of the 17th regiment, with the 17th battery, which
.Ivere stationed there for the defence of that point, bore the
enemy's fire with intrepidity. Major-General Chev.
Cialdini, hearing the cannonade, hastened out of Casale
with the 15th regiment of infantry, two squadrons of the
Monferrato light cavalry, and the 3d field battery, to the
assistance of the troops, in order to drive the enemy back
from the river, had he succeeded in crossing; but before his
arrival there, after nightfall,-the enemy had already ceased
firing and retired. During the night, at about half-past
one a.m., the enemy attempted to construct two pontoon
bridges opposite Frassineto, but being harassed by a brisk
fire from our batteries, he renounced his project and
again retired about 8 a.m. The reconnaissances made
by the troops of Casale after the engagement, showed that
the enemy had abandoned Balzola, and subsequently Ter-
ranova and Villanova. We have to deplore the loss of six
killed and 27 wounded, all privates and non•commissioned
officers."

The Piedniontese Gazette of the 6th contains the
following :
" His Majesty's Government would have willing, during
the present war, proclaimed those liberal principles, accord-
ing to which the mercantile vessels of the enemy are allowed
a certain space of time to leave the ports of the State with-
out molestation. The Government has been unable to
do so, because the territory of the State is invaded by a
powerful army which oppresses the occupied provinces
with acts of yiolence of everS, description, thus disobeying
both the rules of the law of nations and those of
humanity recognised in our present state of civilisation.
Orders have therefore been given to lay an embargo on the
Austrian vessels lying in the ports of the State. This mea-
sure of precaution and security was imperiously called for
by circumstances. And although the enormous requisitions
and extortions of all kinds practised by the enemy on our
territory, to the injury of the unarmed population, justify
even now an order of capture of the said vessels, neverthe-
less the Government still reserves its decision in that re-
spect. Meanwhile the Government hastens to notify_to all
whom it may concern that the property of neutrals that may
-be on board the sequestrated vessels shall be immediately
restored to their owners, conformably to the declarations in
favour of neutrals signed by the high powers at the Con-
gress of Paris in 1856. The application of such principles
can naturally only be invoked in the case of such vessels as
shall scrupulously observe strict neutrality."

The Ost Deutsche-Post, the Austrian semi-official
organ, appears to prognesticate the ultimate non-
success of the mission Of Count Karoly to St.
Petersburg. It says :—" Under• existing circum-
stances neither the French ambassador nor the
envoy extraordinary will succeed in obtaining from
the Russian Government a precise declaration as to

its intentions. That power will not bind itself to
any one, and will remain faithful to theprogramme
of Prince Gortschakoff not to middle directly in
European complications. All that Count Karoly
has been able to learn from Prince Gortsehakoff is
that for the moment events must speak for them-

selves."

The Austrian Gazette publishes an article which
has for title, "Let us be united! Forward !" and
concludes with the words, " Let us march ! To
Paris !"

The Government of the Two Siellies has given
notice) by its agents at the different European
Courts, that his IVeapolitan Majesty intends to

observe the strictest neutrality towards alt Powers
during the present complications.

A Berlin letter, in the _ElbeVeld Gazette, says:
—" The last accounts from Hungary state that
great agitation prevails amongst the Magyar and
Sclavonian populations, anxious to recover the
rights wrested from them ten years ago. Agitation
also prevails in Gallicia and in the Polish pro-
vinces of Austria."

"It is affirmed," says the Independance of Brus-
sels, " that the great Powers will -come to an
understanding to guarantee the neutrality of the
Duchy of Parma, a neutrality which the Duchess
herself is anxious to secure."

" According to our private information," says
the Nord, " the retreat of the Austrians is the con-
sequence of an order sent from Vienna, where a
new plan of campaign has been decided on."
