THE WAR IN ITALY.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, JUNE 2.
The Moniteur of this morning contains the fol-
lowing telegrams :
" TURIN, June I.—At 7 o'clock this morning
General Niel entered Novara after a slight encoun-
ter with the Austrian outposts.
"The whole Valteline is in;insurrection."
VERCELLI, June I.—The following are some fresh
details about the affair at Palestro :
The Piedmontese army, after having repulsed
the enemy along his whole front, was, on its right
wing, for a moment outflanked by the Austrians,
who threatened the bridge of boats thrown across
the Sesia over which General Canrobert was to
effect a junction with the King. The Emperor
then despatched the 3d Regiment of Zouaves, who,
unsupported by any artillery, rushed upon the
enemy's battery plantod on the further side of a
deep canal, bayonetting or hurling into the water
the companies posted on our side of the canal for
the defence of the battery, and taking two pieces
of cannon and 500 prisoners. The Zouaves lost 1
officer and 20 privates killed, and 200 wounded,
among whom were 10 officers.
The Moniteur also publishes officially the notifi-
cation of the blockade of Venice.

PARIS, JUNE 2.

Signor Antonini has arrived here from Naples
for the purpose of notifying to th© French Govern-
ment the ascension of the throne of Naples by
Francis 11. It is asserted that he will also go to
London and Brussels for the purpose of making a
similar announcement at the courts of those cities.

The correspondent of the ConstiNtionnel, writing
from Vercelli, on the 30th of May, says :
" Great changes have taken plane within the last
two days. Since I informed you. of the sudden
departure of the Imperial Guard fxom Alessandria
I have been to Turin, then to Vercelli, back again
to Turin, and now lam again at *Vercelli. There
were reasons to prevent my alluding to the move-
ments of the army, but as the telegraph has ere this
informed you of the principal facts', I may now give
you the details.

"While the Imperial Guard wa.3 hastily leaving
Alessandria, and, according to general opinion, was
taking the road to Voghera, orders issued on the
eve of its departure prescribed a concentration of
our forces towards Casale, Valen.Ya and Vercelli.
The French army combined its :movements with
those of the Sardinian army, and advanced on all
the points where an attack was preparing, which
will probably be over before this letter reaches you.
" In less than a few hours Casteggio, Montebello,
and Voghera were evacuated by tl ie corps d'armee
of General Baraguay d'Hilliers ; amd I am informed
this morning that' he Austrians, n,c)t understanding
our reasons for leaving, have re-oc.:-...upied them.

" A great force is now assembled at Vercelli. A
decisive battle is imminent. All the men are
anxiously expecting the order to aZvance. All the
sick have been sent to Alessandria ; and the army
actually assembled here consists healthy, robust
men—all eager for battle.

"I am obliged to close this letter suddenly, as
the post here is somewhat irregular?. The Emperor
was to have left Alessandria to-da3 r, and is expected
here to night. I have taken up my quarters, there-
fore, at Vercelli, without knowing where to find
shelter. The town is small, the lLotels crammed,
and I shall deem myself in good. luck if I find a
room, without a bed, in] score pea3ant's dwelling."

TUIIN, JUNE 1.

At i ch'elock this morning General Niel entered
Novara, attacking the Austrian outposts which after
a short encounter took to fight pre(2ipitately. The
Emperor arrived at 5 o'clock in thie evening amid
the acclamations of the people. The Austrians
have endeavoured to cross the Po. at Bassignano,
but the inhabitants opposed their passage, firing
upon and destroying an Austrian barque.
The Valteline is in insurrection, and the town of
Sandrio has proclaimed Victor Emmanuel.

TURIN, JUNE 1.

the order of the day, says as follows, concerning
the fight of yesterday :
The enemy in greater force than ourselves
vigorciusly attacked our right, in caller to hinder
our',
unction with General Canrobert. The fourth
diVision, under Cialdini, behaved incomparably.
T} ie conduct of the Zouaves contributed considerably
tr. the victory. An Austrian General and several
'other of the enemy's officers were- killed. The
Emperor has visited the battle-field, and congratu-
lated the army on the_advantageous results of the
day.
