ITALY.

The Austrians entered Bologna on the 20th. The Pro-
visionary Government and the Italian patriots have always
had the project of retiring at the approach of the enemy, so
as not to expose an open city to the horrors of war. All
those who could carry arms have retired to the Appenines.
of which the passage can easily become the seat of a
desperate resistance. It appears that the entry of the
Austrians had been determined on by the enterprises of the
patriots, who, according to a letter from Vienna, attempted
on the 9th an attack upon Rome, where they were repulsed.
We are assured this evening, that a diplomatic note has
been addressed to the Austrian Cabinet, to signify that
France will not tolerate a longer sojourn of the Austrians at
Bologna.—Journal des Debate.
The occupation of Bologna by the Austrians, which the
Journal des Debate sought to put in doubt this morn-
ing, was announced at the Chamber of Deputies by the
President of the Council, who made known at the same time,
that a new credit of one hundred millions would be de-
manded to-morrow by the Minister of Finance, still having
for its object the maintenance of peace.—Journal du Coui-
nterce.

The following letter, which has been addressed to ua,
explains in a satisfactory manner for the friends of Italian
liberty, the retreat of the Provisionary Government towards
Ancona. Constitutionnel.

PARIS, MAacs 26.

Sin—Whatever may be the courage and devotion of the defenders of
Italian liberty, they could only oppose to the Austrians a useless re.
Instance in the plains which separate the Po from Bologna. The lumen
project of the Imperial troops was, to debauch by three points—ma of
which was Comacchio : it would then have been easy for them, in
marching upon Imola, or Forli, to cut off the communication between
the seat of government and the provinces. The retreat of the des
moment towards Ancona, is the basis of a plan of defence, which
gives to determined men, the chances which courage and the
love of liberty leave often to struggles, in appearance the most un-
equal. May France be persuaded that Italy knows what she
owes to herself and to Europe, in these terrible chum-
steams 1 Italy has been accustomed, for a long time to
suffer ;--ebe is wearied with struggling against unjust periudices,
which cause evils to fall upon bur, of which her opprtmon ax
alone guilty ; she has known foe a long rims hew she has been
abandoned and betrayed ; but she knows also that there is semethiag
more auel still than servitude;—shams I This day she has rdwes•
brunet of it. Put your readers on their part against the news whip

Impediments which are put on my correspondence prevented my re-
:eivinebefore yesterday a manifesto of the Provisionary Government of
the United Provinces of Italy, which will be rendered public in a few
Jays. Accept, Sir, &e.

J. HUBER.
Envoy of the Provisional Government of the United Provinces of
Italy.
SPAIN.

Extract of a letter from Barcelona, dated 18th of March :
—" Since the last courier arrived from Madrid, an extraor-
dinary effervescence is remarked in this city. M. Ognate,
Sub-delegate of Police, is very much alarmed. We are
assured that he despairs of preserving the city, if the Cap-
tain-general does not drive away all the elements of discord
which remain here. From the report of the Governor of
Figuera, desertions increase : orders have been given for the
soldiers not to quit the fort. We expect to have insurrections
here, and we shall rejoice to have the power of completing
our revolution, without the assistance of the French, who
have made us wait too long. We have been for a long time
without communication from Gibraltar ; no person is per-
mitted to enter or quit. I have this instant learned that it is
forbidden to speak of politics, and those who communicate
intelligence are punished with death. This order tends to
confirm that the victory will remain with the constitu-
tionalists."
