TRIESTE, MAT s.

We have news froth Constantinople of the 10th of
April, of which the following is the substance
" Lord Cochrane, who arrived in Greece with a
brig, a large schooner, and about 700,000 francs, which
were remitted him by the French Philhellene', declared
to the Assembly at Egioa, that be was come to assist
the Greeks in recovering their liberty, and that he de-
sired to be appointed High Admiral of their fleet. The
Hydriots did not at first seem inclined to obey a fo-
reigner ; but Lord Cochrane having declared that he
could not serve except on this condition, and that other-
wise he should withdraw, they consented, and his Lord-
ship having been unanimously appointedHighAdmiral,
had a squadron equipped, composed of his two vessels,
the American frigate Hellas, the Perseverance steam.
boat, and four chosen Hydriot ships, in all eight sail,
with which he is gone on a secret expedition. It is
thought that the Admiral will go to Negropent and
Zeitouni, or towards the Mediterranean. It is said that
the Porte is much alarmed at the arrival of Lord Coch-
rane, and that it is using every exertion that its fleet
may put to sea as soon as possible, under the command
of a certain Soleiman of Alexandria, who is resolved to
measure his strength with the English Admiral. Eight
men of war, two frigates, four corvettes, and two brigs,
have already sailed from the Dardanelles. They will
be followed by thirty-six other men of war, and many

transports."

ROME, Mat 0.
His Majesty the King ut Bavaria arrived here incog-
nito on the 3d, accompanied only by his Aid-de Camp,
Count Baumgarten. On the 4th he paid a visit to the
Pope, which his Holiness 'twined at his Majesty's
Hotel—*a distinction which was never before paid to
any person travelling incognito.
Yesterday. in commemoration of the happy day,
which the King formerly passed here, when he was
Clown Pilate, and of his friendly and kind intercourse

the head of the gallai
hand, the enemy's let
friategui's division, c(
cers, commanded by /aria, and
the squadron of Cuirassiers, under the gallant Medina,
formed a second line to' stiiipoei the attack of the first
corps. The third corps, under the command of General
Soler, occupied some heights which communicated with
the position of the first corps. Drandsen's and Pas's
divisions, belonging to the 2d corps, formed a reserve a
little in the rear, between the first and third corps. The
►rave Colonel Lavalle's division was stationed to the
left of this position.
Under this di position of our force, and notwithstand-
ing the vigorous attack of the first corps, the eneuxy
advanced in a formidable manner on the SS corps.-as
They directed against it three battalions of infantry,
which included the German battalion, supported by
2,000 cavalry and six pieces ef cannon. A heavy can•
nonade then extended throughout the whole of the line,
and the combat was maintained with vigour and te-
nacity on the right and left by bolt sides. The charges
of cavalry were rapid, well supported, and attended by
alternate success. '

Meanwhile Colonel Lavalle, on the left, overthrew`
all the cavalry which were opposed to him, sabring
them, and driving them a league and a half from the
field of baffle.

Notwithstanding this brilliant success, the action was
not yet decided. The enemy charged with his principal
force our right and centre. Under these circumstances,
it was necessary to leave in reserve only the 3d cavalry,
and to bring up the divisions of Paz and Brandzen.—
This force being brought into action, the whole of both
armies were engaged ;at this time the intrepid Brandeen,
whose division was destined to charge a mass of the
enemy's infantry, fell on the field of battle.
The 6th battalion, under the command of Colonel
Plazabal, had commenced its fire. The 2d, under Col.
Alegre, being attacked by some of the enemy's cavalry,
having in their front the German Lancers, repulsed them,
and compelled them to abandon the field. Col. Olivetti,
with the Maldonado division and the first cavalry, fell
upon this force in their retreat, and completely routed
and dispersed them.
On the right, the Commandants Gomez and Median,
who gloriously distinguished themselves, charged a
strong column of cavalry, sabred it, and obliged it to
take shelter under the fire of a battalion which wu de-
fended by a parapet of trees. The ardour of the Chiefs
comnsurucated itself to the troops, whom a hot fire had
caused to fall back a little. At this moment the whole
mass of the cavalry advanced upon them. The 16th
Regiment was then ordered to support its companions
in arms; the cuirassiers and dragoons flew to the right
and left, taking .their stations on the flanks; and the
brave lancers, who manepuvred on a field covered with
dead bodies as if it had been a day of parade, charged
and broke the enemy, and pursued them to a three-gun
battery, which they took. The Bth Regiment supported
this charge, which was decisive. In it Col. Olavaria
maintained the reputation which he acquired at Junin
and Ayacucho.
The enemy's cavalry being obliged to give way in
the centre, was followed by his infantry, pursued by
our four battalions. lie summit* attempted to ta►e
