The Italian War.

The following extract from the correspondence of
the New York Tribune contains the latest news we
have yet seen from the seat of war in Lombardy
By this it will be perceived that notwithstanding
the treachery of Charles Albert, affairs wear a
somewhat more encouraging aspect than they did
short time since
In Italy affairs wear a more encouraging aspect.
Of the treason of Charles Albert and the Chief
officers of his army there is longer any reasona
bic doubt, and thus the Italian people are relieved
Of the disgrace of failure in The war of LOmbardy
More than this, they refuse TO accept the armstice
which Salasco concluded with Radetsky after the
surrender of Milan. The Cabinet Of Turin have.
protested against it in the most dignified manner
as an act which the King had no authority to do
without the consent of the Cabinet and the Lsgis-
ature. His authority does not they say go so far as
70 alternate any part of the territory of the King
dom, or 10 prevent the mediation of other powers
as the armistice would have done, by virtually SCI
Ting the whole question at issue. This protest.
which has the effect to deprive the armstice of all
validity IN political point of view, was followed
by the immediate resignation of the Ministry
whose places the King has not yet been able 10
supply. Meanwhile they continue to discharge
their duties, and, as they IN a statement just pub
lished, have taken the most active measures TO
restore the army to a perfect condition and put
the finances in state 10 meet any emergency
The same spirit prevails throughout Piedmont; the
excitement which followed the surrender of Milan
is succeeded by calm and resOlute preparation for
continuance of the war.
''The Lombards have also protested against the
acts of Charles Albert, whom they charge formally
with having betrayed them. They refuse also to
yield their FORTS according to the terms of captula
non. or TO cease hostilites Peschiera was defend
ed by small body Of troops with great resolution
and was only taken after two days bombardment
by force much larger. Garibald at the head of
$500 volunteers, has recrossed the Tepin, and is
harrassing the Austrians Griffini at the head OF
another body of Lombards, is doing the same
Gen. APIECE is in the mountainous regions of Val
Tellnua at the head of a considerable force which
will soon be heard of on the plain below; and
Radetsky, Dih only TO- 600 men, TO whom Charles
Albert, with AS 900, surrendered the city, which, as
is now proved, was well supplied with ammunition
and provisions cannot move to disOdge these forces
until he receives reinfOrCenents.
"Weden has Withdrawn from the Pontifcal ter
ritOres in obedience to orders from Vienna and at
the same time, the Pope is blessing the companies
of volunteers that are going from Rome to the de-
fence of the legations But in the midst of the ex-
element caused there by the events at Bologna the
internal agitation is not appeased: the new Minis
try not altogether in their seats and the
question Of the temporal authority of the Church is
by no means at rest. 1t is a fact, that the party
which are now most Jealous in support of Plus TX,
are the party which most warmly opposed him but
a few months ago, while those who accuse him Of
feebleness and faithlessness to the cause of Italy,
were then devoted to him with the most sincere
affection.
Venice is bearing herself so as to Justify her an
cent fame When the news of the surrender of
Milan reached the city the people assembled at the
palace of the Government and threatened the COM
missaries of Charles Albert. Manini was at once
sought for and again installed in the supreme pow
er, until the Assembly, which was dismissed after
they had voted the annexation of the City and
Province to the kingdom of upper Italy, could be
cOnvOked to name regular Executive. He har-
getic measures should be taken to secure the in
dependence of Venice and. Of Italy, His words
were received with enthusiasm and his orders
Obeyed as orders are at such times Volunteers be-
ing called for to go to strengthen the garrison at
Maaghera, more men offered than were wanted,
and many more were allowed TO go than were ne

city and summoned the Commissaries to surrender,
in accordance with the agreement of their master,
Mann replied that the Commissaries no longer had
the direction of affairs A Pedmontese officer who
bearing the order of Charles Albert to surrender
the city, was politely dispatched to the camp of the
Austrian General, and everything was prepared for
the most desperate resistance. The Sandman fleet
has also refused to obey the order of Charles AL
