ployed in organizing the different departments
of the civil and military service.
Charles Albert, at the head OF nearly 2O,-
900 regular troops, had pursued his victorious
march to Bozzolo, and was, at the date OF the
last advces, advancing upon the extreme lett
of the Austrians at Mantua, where General
Walmodon, with II, 900 Au strians, was strong
" entrenched. The Roman and Tuscan
auxiliares were also advancing by the left
bank of the Pc towards Mantua.
General Radetsky, at the head Of 10000
men, had taken possession OF Verona, and
ordered the inhabitants to deliver up their
arms in twenty four hours, under pain Of
death. He has dissolved and disarmed the
guard of that city, who refused to join the
Austrian ranks he has imposed a contTibu-
ton of three millions on the city and has
seQuestered the town hall, the house Of the
farmer, general of taxes, and some others
To prevent the tocsin being sounded, he has
occupied all the belfries with his soldiers
Accounts of battle under the walls Of Verona
are contradicted, though che must have been
fought ere the date of this publication, upon
whose issue hinges the peace or war of Europe
as, should the Italians be beaten, Franco, it
was expected, could not, if she would, remain
neutral
It is said that the Austrian troops, which,
under the late capitulation at Venice, had
been transported to Trieste, are marching
through the country called the Friuli, or
Italian Tyrol, for the purpose Of suppressing
the movement in the Capital, Udina, and then
forming junction with the force at Verona.
All this reads very badly; andif the Govern
ment of Vienna be in a condition to support
Radetsky, who now possesses the strongest
position in the North Of Italy, and he is in
condition TO hold it until he receives supplies
of provisions and ammunition, the hopes we
entertained of the immediate liberation of
Lombardy, are at an end, and the contest may
yet be prolonged for many months.
SAvoY.-The report that a republic had
been proclaimed in Savoy proves to have been
correct, but at the same time we learn that
the new Government had no sooner been pro-
claimed, than it was ovarthrown by the people
themselves. 1t appears that tha republicans,
to the number Of about 1900, arrived from
France 1T CRANBERRY on the Sd inst, and I'M
mcliatcly proceeded to proclaim a Republic,
to plumber the Governors house, and to COM
nit various excuses. Report had greatly eX-
aggerated their numbers, and the authorities.
who were wholly unsupported by troops, fed
without Offering any resistance. During the
dav, however, the inhabitants were enabled to
compare their numbers with those Of the in
vaders, and the consequence was that at an
early hour the following day the church bells
We're rung. The townsmen and peasants,
armed with scythes and pitchforks, attacked
the republican marauders, and speedily routed
them, with the loss of 20 killed and 900
prisoners, among whom were the leaders OF
the expedition. The Sandman authorities
were then replaced in power and the French
prisoners were sent back to France, while the
Savoyards were forwarded to their own homes.
HEssE CAssEL.-A letter from Cologne in
forms that on the 9th inst. a mob assembled
about the hotels of the exministers, who were
very unpopular. The soldery were called out
to dispense the discontinued. They charged
tbepeople, who Immediately armed themselves
and threw up barricades. A smart fight
took place, and the arsenal was taken by storm
by the insurgents. They then proceeded to
the barracks, and after brief opposition, the
soldiers retired, leaving the town in the hands
of the people. The building was soon sacked
