Advices from Milan of the Doth, quoted By
the Gazetta Piedmontese, announce that a
corpse of "a 900 men, composed of Pontificial
Tuscan, and Neapolitan troops, are on their
march to Join the Piednontese army; and that
part of them had already effected their juno
ticn. 400 pontifcial troops were expected at
Padua on the 18th
The Augsburg Gazette, of the 23d, states
that the army of the Isonzo has begun its oper-
atoms. The insurgents attacked an advanced
post near Visco, and killed eight men. The
Austrians marched upon that place, and, after
an obstinate resistance, remained masters of
the field.
Radetski, it is said offers battle under the
walls of Verona, with a force nearly equal in
number TO that of the Piedmontese.
| Milan was perfectly tranquil, the public spi-
rit still undated, though some murmurs were
heard against the dilatory proceedings of the
/ Sandman army.
| A despatch arrived at Milan on the Goth,
| from the headquarters of the Piedmontese ar
my, bringing the news of an attack, directed by
the King of Sardinia in person, against the
Austrians stationed in the neighborhood of
Mantua The Duke of Savoy (the heir appa-
rent to the Sandman throne) was also present
at this affair. After very warm engagement,
and in which the Piedmont troops displayed
the greatest courage and bravery, the Austrians
were obliged to retire, and shut themselves up
in the fortress.
i An engagement has likewise taken place be-
tween the Italian corps of General Zucchi, and
the Austrians at Visco, village situated on
4 the frontiers of lllyria. The contest lasted
four hours, but ultimately, though not without
great difficulty, the Italians succeeded in gain
Ing possession of the village.
The Milan Gazette, of the 2lst inst, contains
the following: 1.-THE entire of Southern Tyrol
+ has declared in favor of the good cause, with
the exception only of the Valley of Adige,
which is kept in awe by the presence of the
Austrian troops concentrated at Trentum.-
MOTOR Trolli, of the Piedmontese army was
taken prisoner in sortie effected by the Aus
trian garrison at Peschiera. The Piedmontese
forces occupy the most advantageous positions
near Verona. The heavy artillery has arrived.
Two ENJOYS from Parma came to offer King
Charles Albert the cooperation Of their troops,
which he accepted. Gen. Durando with the pom
tificial division was to blockade the fortress Of
Ferrara."
Much anxiety is expressed in all the letters
which arrive from Northern Italy respecting
, the result of the contest now goingon in LON
hardy.

King Charles Albert Without the Sandman
army, the Austrians under Radetsky, reinforc-
ed as they speedily must be by the troops mar
