Err NCE AND ITALY

n
1t appears 10 be a settled point that if Austria
should persist in refusing to give independence to
Lombardy, the Army of the AL ps will cross the from
tier. The position of Gen. Cavaignac is such that
he must either withdraw from Office or take this
course. The bourgeoisie are for peace but the
| best friends of the government fear that to draw
| back after the promise of Intervention IN gwen
ease would not only enable the ulra-republicans to
excite the populace but would also create disaffec
ton in the army and they prefer war to anarchy
they will support Cavaignac in an armed hIerNen-
] ton.
A Second Army Of the Alps-Militqry Prepare
/ fioDs Cen Cavaionac passed all this morning
with Gen. de Lamorciere, the munster OF war,
and the subject of their long conference turned, 1t
| is believed, upon the formation OF SECOND army
of rs, 900 men, which was determined upon,
| in contemplation of the entry of the troops of
Gen. Oudinot on the Piedmontese territory. An
order has already been transmitted to the eighteen
military divisions to form war battalions, bataittons
| de guerre and to Oblge all officers soldiers
leave of absence to return forthwith to their posts.
| This measure will raise the French Army to $780,
900 men, from which may be subtracted the Alge-
rine Army, 68 600. On the other hand 1t Is In con-
temptation to mobilise 300 battalions of National
Guards that the effective force will be really con-
siderable An order has been sent to the arsenal of
Bourges to forward Immediately to Grenoble $1,000,
900 cartridges, 10000 bombs, 10000 howitzer-
charges 25 900 balls and an immense park OF artll
lery siege as well field pieces. Iii rumored that
the two first divisions of the army, under Gen.
Oudinot will cross the Alps in short time, to be
Immediately followed by the other divisions, the
whole to take up their encampment on the Tessino,
ready to march the day of the termination of the
armistice.

SICILY.
BODabafdment of Messina.-It was fully expected
that Sicily would be obliged return to her allegi-
ance or be given to the second son of Ferdinand.

The SlEhs Of MoOltan Defeated By Lieutenant Ed |
1OardeS-By the Overland Mail we have dates from
Bombay to the 18th of july; Madras 9Th; and Cal
cutta 10th. Subjoined is abstract of the latest
intelligence.
The gallant Edwardes and his ally of Bhawul- |
pore have gained a considerable victory decisive |
over the enemy, and almost decisive regards the
of the insurrecton on the frontier of
the Punaub.
The precise number of troops engaged cannot be |
readily stated but they appear to have been in all
from 5000 to 5000 men. The advance of the Bhaw- |
up pore forces having been effected at the instiga-
ton of Lieut. Edwardes, that officer pushed for
ward with portion of his force across the Chenab
in the direction of Soojabad and joined the action
after it had become general on the part of the |
Bhawulpore levies and the insurgents in the field
The fighting lasted for several hours and des- |
perate intrepidity was shown, from all accounts, by
the Sikh troops of the Dewan. The issue of the |
day was ultimately decided by the personal daring |
Of Lieut.. Edwardes, who, with some Of his men, /
charged the enemy's guns, sword in hand, and /
though it is said, the Skhs fred grape until the as
sallants were within few feet of the muZZes four
out of the guns in their possession We're car
ried, and two others afterwards disabled and cap
tured. This occurred, notwithstanding that in the
heat of the fight Edwardes's magazine caught fire |
and killed six of his men. The loss of the insur-
gents appears to have been about $50 killed and |
wounded, and ON our part not much less. |
