The Patria Of Florence, of the 18th, says:
"The Austrians have retired within the line
of Mincio-have regained courage and fight
with fury. 1t ia Of no use to deceive ourselves
the war will be long and bloody. It is war
to the death--a war of Spaniards against
Moors--of Greeks against Turks"

Mantua was favorable to the Piedmontese ;

DENMARK AND HOLsTETN.
The accounts received from the Continent
tend to complicate the unfortunate events
which have occurred in Holsteln and Schles-
wig, with regard to the misunderstanding at
present existing between these Duchies and
their sovereign, the King of Denmark, as well
as to threaten the peace of Europe. The
whole Of the German confederation is Compro-
missed by the iniudtcious first act Of the King
of Prussia, and are called upon TO take arms
against Denmark. On the side Of Denmark
no actual collision has taken place, except be-
tween the Danish troops and the iusurgent
SchIeswig Holsteiners. The Danes landed
under cover of their ships of war, and after a
sharp struggle (for the blood Of both nations
is thoroughly roused) succeededinr routing their
opponents, and making themselves masters OF
the Duchy, On the 10th inst. a fierce battle
was fought near FIensburg, in which the
Danes, having a decided superiority in num-
bers, as we'll as in their cavalry and artillery,
the Schleswig Holstein army was defeated and
compelled to retreat towards Rendsburg. The
Holsteiners, 10000 strong, retired on Bau from
Flensburg, disIodged by the preparations for q
bombardment from the harbor, which was full
of Danish gunboats; but the Danes came or
in superior numbers, and drove all before them
despite of stubborn resistance. Two German
regiments were almost annihilated, and the
killed on each side were more than 1000; 75(
insurgents were taken prisoners. After thell
victory the Danes pushed southwark, and en-
tered SchIeswig at 2 O'Clock in the morning o.
the 18th. The Danish troops in Schleswig are
now 10000. The Prussians remain on thu
Holstein frontier, increasing their numbers
, The force now amounts to 5000 infantry, tt
which will be added some cavalry; so that al
together this contingent force, when concen'
81 trated in Holstein, amounts to about 10000 o
all arms.
Correspondence from Rendsbug of the l4tl
: inst, mentions that a skirmish had taker
| place at Windebye, and that forty Danes ha'
r been made prisoners. The Danes had move'
: the greater part of the troops which they ha'
0 concentrated to Sehleswig, amounting in al
e to 5000 men, to Danevirke, at the distance 0
r half a German mile from Sehleswig, on tn
Rendesburg side.
