Italy.
The chance of peaceful termination of the
present CRISIS, az AIN prepOnderates.
The King of Sardinia has wisely hestated to
enter into another conflict with his formidable OPP
ponent, and there are strong reason for believing
that negotiations will be resumed for peaceful
settlement of the affairs of Northern Italy, without
further appeal to arms.
The German central power proposes that Lom-
hardy should remain attached to Austria. but that
it should at the same time, form part of the Italian
Diet which the several Italian sovereigns are
anxious to create. BY this arrangement Lom-
hardy would hold the same relation to Italy,
that the Ducby of Luxembourg holds to Ger
many. This proposal has, it seems, been sub
mitted to the King of Sardinia, and has probably
influenced the Sandman Chamber Of Deputies In
their decision to postpone the renewal of hos
tilites.
The King of Naples, too, is likely to effect
peaceful settlement of the differences betweeA
himself and former subjects in Sicily.
India.
The overland mail has arrived from India. The
British forces have sustained defeat in the drec-
ton of Montlan. The reverse Is said to have been
caused by the treachery of the auxiliary Sikh
troops, under the command of Shere-Sngh, who,
just as Gen. w hish's brigade had commenced opera
tons, promising the most brilliant results, deserted
and with 5000 men joined the forces of the Dewan.
1t is alleged that the plot had been preconcerted,
and the sudden manner which the deserton
appears to have been made, gives color to the
allegation. The event, as matt er of course,
caused the tactics of the British to be in
stantly changed General Whish raised the
siege, and made retrograde movement to
unite his forces in an intrenched camp, some ff-
teen miles distant from the CITADEL to await re-ln-
forcements from Ferozepore, and Scinde.
