Italy.--7 nc Hnslrrcc,inn Ut Gcne:

On the I'd after combat which last
ed for several hours. the Piedmontese
General de Azarta, who had the command
of the garrison, was obliged to capiuiate
The combat commenced on the evening Of
the 1st, about 4 clock, and continued
without interruption during the whole of
the night. the inhabitants having been for
ced by the insurgents to illuminate their
houses, i'll order 10 enable them to carry
on their operations. In consequence OF
the strong position held by the troops, the
result was for a long time doubtful; but at
length, toward 10 in the morning, Gen de
Azarta, finding that the strength of the in
surgents was rather increasing than d.
minishing, while he himself was cut of
from all hope Of reinforcement, was oJlic-
ed to c2pitulae. The lives Of the troops
were spared and the whole Of the men
were allowed TO quit the place with their
arms, and with all the konors Of war.
Lord Hardwicke, who commands the
British ship oi'lhe-Iine Nengcnce, is spok-
en- CT with praise by the Genoa papers. As
having contributed in obtaining favorable
terms Of the troops, and having prevented
the horrors and excuses which might be
expected as the consequence Of Tie popu-
lar triumph.
General La Marmore, who commands
the Piedmontese corps dispatches t. Ge-
noa, published manifesto, dated April 3,
at his headquarters at Romeo, in which he
states, that seeing the state CT revolt in
which the City Of Genoa now is, refusing
10 acknowledge the capituIation between
the military commander of the division OF
Genoa and the rebels, and wishing to res
tore order, lie directs that the troops which
have left the city shall stop their march,
and that the city shall be strictly blockaded.
Those citizens who wish TO range them
selves on the side of order will have the
liberty TO come out and will receive aid
and protection; but all passage Of mer
chandise or provisions will lie prohibited.
All the places occupied w the hlockaling
force. and in general the whole circle Of
the blockade will besubjected 10 martial

twenty-four hours, under pain of the pun.

festo then announces the dissolution of the
civic and national militia, as well as the
volunteer force, and several other restric>
tons, all tending to the forming Of strict
blockade and the suppression of the re-

some in our own State. We respectfully urge upon

congressional Virginia

We have before alluded to the fact that
the democracy lad gained three out Of
the four Congressman elected in Connec-
Itlcut since the new administration con-
menced its unbiushing course of pro-
scriptson and wholesale breach OF faitl,
repeatedly and most solenuly pledged to
the American people. We have now to
record like gain of two democratic
Congressman in Virginia. This makes
fee, with difference of len in favor Of
the democracy in The lower house Of the
next Congress. Although, with the va
rious isms which are the legitimate
properly Of whiegery, the party now in
power may calculate uron majority in
the House, still the above result is we'll
calculated to startle, If not TO check them
in their wholesale cu;rages upon public
faith and the confidence reposed in, and
now broken by Gen. Taylor.
l. Upon the first announcement of the
democratic gains in Connecticut, the wing
journalists charged that it wa, brough,
about by union between the democrats
and Tree soilers. They are deprived of
even this poor consolation in the case
Of the Virginia election. What will they
say now? Does Sthe Tayforization of
the wing party pay expenses?
We have not reserved full particulars,
as yet; but sec it stated that John M.
Boots, the man that did not head John
Tyler, or Miss Julia Dean, either, is at
last himself headed by his constituents.
