crossed the Isonzo at the head of Austrian corps
of II 900 men, makes fresh progress every day.
The capture of Udine, the capital of FriOu, is fully
confirmed. But much greater check for the lta-
liam cause consists in the captuaon of the fortress
of Palma Nova, which took place on the 25th ult.
This fortress, which is of the strongest in Italy,
was the bulwark of the republican provinces. Itwas
commanded by Gen. Zucchi, one of the veterans of
the Italian army in the time of Napoleon. We
reckon much on the merit and on the courage of
that officer but must add that the 6OOO or SOU
men whom he had been able to assemble were quite
insufficient TO defend the Notifications which are
most extended SCALE
We have before the Venetian journals of the
25fh but we find nothing in them but false reports
of pretended defeat of the Austrians at the gates
of Udne. When we see this want of news at such
a critica moment, cannot but deplore the mere
dible apathy of the Venetians, who confine them
selves to accusing the Roman General Durando, as
if from the banks of the Po where he had only just
arrived, he could Immediately transport himself to
the frontier Of the Frioul.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the Both March, con-
tains the following letter from Trieste of the Goth
Several letters have reached this place from Cont
zia, the IsonZo, and from Cormono, the frontier
of the FriOul, containing the account OF the surren-
der of Palma Nova, and on the 25th, on the media
ton of the archbishop and of some delegates from
Udine, and the Austrian troops Immediately en-
tered the place.

dale on the Natsone, to the northward of Udine.
Codropo was to be occupied by the Oath, and an
engagement in which the Austrians had the advan-
tage had taken place at Ponteba, to the northwest
of Udne.
The Risorgimento, of Turin, announces that
Charles Albert was temporising, and that he would
not carry on active military operations until the
declaration of the Provisional Government of Milan
relative to the form of government to be given to
Lombardy. NJ. Mazzini had written to the Con-
cordia, to protest against the conduct of the Pied
montese authorities towards the Italian column
which had landed from Marseilles, at Genoa. Gene
raj AlIemandi, who had been arrested as traitor,
had completely justified himself, and had been re-
stored to liberty by the government of Milan.
