Upwards Of &c, 900 troops had crossed
from Piedmont into Sardinia.
Lombardy had declared war against
Austria and marched her troops direct to
Milan. The Austrians were defeated
everywhere.
All the Italian Dutchies had openly en-
gagged in instruction.
Charles Albert, it is expected, will soon
have $4,000 troops at his command, suffi-
cient to liberate Lombardy, and threaten
Austria's existence, even by marching
troops to the city of Vienna.
Savoy has declared in favor Of repub-
lie, and liberal governments have beenes-
tablished in the provinces Of Baden, Wor-
temberg and Saxony.
The triumphs Of the people in Hanover
have been complete.
The King of Prussia has promised ex-
tensive constitutional reform, but has exas-
perated the Emperor of Russia by encour-
aging the independence of Poland.
Emperor Nicholas has ordered every
man in Russia and Poland between the
ages of Is and 80 to remove to the interior
Of Russia, for the purpose of concentrat-
ing vast army, in order to crush the re-
publican efforts in Belgium.
Holland remains quiet.
Tuscany has refused to acknowledge
the French Republic.
An emute has occurred at Madrid, in
which many people and soldiers were kill
ed. Queen Christina had fled.
The parliament constituted by the French
government, had ordered the army to as
semble on the frontier, to watch the move
ments of Italy.

were equally energetic, and are support
ed by the provinces which are now elect
ing delegates to the council to be held at

Repealers now openly avow Repeal
That union is not sufficient to satisfy the
grievances-that republic is the only
remedy. The great Chartist demonstra-
ton to come off on the 10th inst, has been
| forbidden by the English government All
arrangements, however, are going on
Carriages are preparing for petitioners
Banners and insignia are all in state of
forwardness. The proclamation issued
|forbidding any one from attending the
meeting only increased the excitement and
called forth remonstrances. The Chartists
have determined by unanimous resolution
to hold the demonstration meeting at the
risk of their lives despite the government
threats. They then issued a contra pro-
clamation to hold large meeting, to car
ry no arms in the procession. O'Connor
advised the withdrawal of the deposits in
the Savings Bank, amounting to 5,00O,-
600 pounds sterling, as that would embar-
rass the government more than an armed
attack. The English government seems
determined to bring matters to an issue.
Large bodies of cavalry, infantry and ar
tillery had been drafted into the metropo-
lis. How matters will end it is not posi-
BILE to conjecture.
