Movements Of the austrian and Italian Forces-Inte
resting Condition Of Things in Italy.
Considering the magnitude Of the interests at stake
and the critical situation of the hostile parties you
will be surprised to hear that little real change has
taken place since the date of my last letter The
mics of the King of Sardinia and Marshal Radetsky,
still in presence the plains of the Adige and the
Mncio Tho army of General Nugent still maneu-
in the Frioul. No movement has been effected,
which has seriously modified the chances of the
You will recollsct that the Austrian forces now in
the north of Italy, consist of two armies separated
from each other by long tract of country, COM
manded by Marshal Radetsky, and the other by Gen.
Nugent At the present moment, the former reported
to consist of somewhere about 900 men, is divided
into four divisions which severally concentrated
in and around the four fortrcsscs of Mantua Legnano
Verona and Peschiera, which, you will by any
map, form the angles of an extensive quadrilatera
situate south OF the Lago di Gard and which Is ira
versed by the rivers Adige and Mircio. The main
body however of this army collected in Verona, the
strongest of the fortresses in camp
Immediately under its walls. The Sandman army,
and its auxaries, Is necessarily disposed in
ponding manner; the main body is in face of the In
trcnched camp under Verona. A strong force, how
ever is around Peschiera, which must be reduced be-
fore any decisive battle Is vcnturcd at Verona Ac-
Peschiera had commenced, and its speedy surrender
may be expected that once accomplished, the force
which invests it will unite with the army before Verona
and general engagement may be expected.
Meanwhile, the other army under General Nugsnt,
in the Erioul, has been making slow but steady
advance At the date of my last it was on the Tag
liamento and at Udine since then, it has advanced
through the country between the Tagamento and
the Pave, has crossed the latter river and is
der the walls Of Trevso the high roads from Venice
and Padua. Trevso is toleraby fortified occupied by
IA 900 inhabitants who arc aided by 5000 Roman
lunteers Sorties have been made with less
success against the Austrans and according to the
latest accounts 1t seemed likely that the latter would
be kept in check and be compelled to procure artillery
of siege before the town could be taken In the
while, considerable force under General Durando
collected at place called Mogliano half way between
Trevso and Venice so that If Treviso should surren
der the force within it would retire upon this
and the whole would form body of troops sufficient
prevent the march of the Austrians under Nugent
upon Padua and their ultimate junction with Radet-
sky.
