(, similar fault on the Vistula, during the Po-
Esh instruction. The Duke Of Savoy is
said to have been wounded in the lest bat
tie, after having previously greatly distin-
guished himself by his bravery and general
ship The following is the account, evidently
concealing an uniavorable portion Of the
facts, published by the Piedmontese Minis
ter, Ratazzi, Of the actor. at Mortara:
"From letter Of the commandev-in-chief,
dated yesterday (22nd,) and from other let
tiers Of the local authorities, we receive the
following intelligence: The Austrians enter
ed our territory on two points, Gravellone
and Zerbolo. On the 2lst, at one p m,
they began to attack the second division of
our army, which had taken up position on
the road Of Garlasco, before La Sforzesca,
where the headquarters were, and on the
road Of Gambolo, with vanguard stationed
as far as Borgo San Stro. The first attack
took place upon the position Of La Sforzes-
ca, and was renewed several times, for more
than four hours Our troops, seconded by
the second regiment Of the brigade OF Sa-
voy, sustained all these ATTACKS with valor
About four, p. M, the enemy attacked the
same division on the road to Gambolo; here
the first regiment Of Savoy alone, with
eight pieces of artillery, resisted every at
tack, without losing an inch Of ground, for
more than an hour; meanwhile, the brigade
Of Savona, and the fourth division arrived,
and the enemy was repulsed. In all these
engagements, such Of our troops as took
part in them, behaved in a most praisewor-
thy manner, About six, p. M, the Austri-
ans attacked two other divisions--namely,
the first and the reserve division, which oc-
cupied the position from Vespolate and Mo-
yara to Mortara. Although the enemy did
not begin this attack with great force, our
troops retired after short engagement, which
was only maintained by the division Of re-
serve, the first division not having taken
part in it as it ought to have done The
enemy afterwards entered Mortara, without
any material damage being suffered by that
town. Yesterday, (22nd,) there was no en-
gagement. The headquarters were transfer
red to Trecate, and thence to Novara, where
the King is, The princes are at the head
Of their divisions. The commander-in-chief
has concentrated all the forces near the head
quarters, ON the right flank Of the enemy's
army Some soldiers shametully dispersed,
audit was principally they who spread alarm
in the towns Of Vercelli, Casale, and other
places in the vicinity, Government has
given all necessary orders to proceed against
them with the greatest severity, and send
them back to their corps. The local autho-
rites all did their duty, and showed the
greatest energy and activity"
The above are the only particulars Of the
earlier actions which have reached US, and
with regard to the later battle, and the abdi-
cation and fight Of the King Of Sardinia,
the accounts are two telsgraphic dispatches
received by the French Government, and
read by NJ Odillon Barrot to the National
Assembly on the 26th ult The first, which
is addressed by the French Envoy at Turin,
M. Bots -le- Comte, to the Minister Of For
eign Affairs, is as follows:
aTuRIN, March 25.-The army has
been driven back into the mountains at
Belle and Borgo Manero. The Austrians
occupy Novara, Vercelli, and Trino. IL
appears certain that the King hassabdicated,
and has fed into Switzerland. The Duke
Of Savoy has not yet written to Turin.
The Government have requested Mr.. Alb
ercrombie and myself to demand an armis-
tce to cover Turin. We have placed our
selves at their disposal, and we shall set out
as soon as they shall desire it. Turin is
tranquil All are prepared to maintain
order.
In addition to this despatch, another has
been forwarded, by way Of Toulon, from
the French Consul at Nice, and is to the
following effect:
4 "TouLoN, March 2s-- Fipe o'clock, p.
M.--Charles Albert, after having abdicated
in favor Of the Duke Of Savoy, traversed
Nice on the Goth, at eleven O'Clock in the
morning, proceeding to France. The Pied
montese army has been beaten at Noyara,
but its honor is safe"
third telegraphic despatch, ! published
in Paris on Wednesday night, states that
two Piedmontese generals had been killed
in The last decisive action
1t has been stated that the Austrian En-
voy in Paris received, on Wednesday even
ing, an account Of Marshal Radetzky's
entrance into Turin on the evening Of the
25th ultimo but the statement, although
not improbable, seems to require con6rma-
ton.
1t will be also seen that in the House Of
Lords, on the 3oth' ultimo, Lord Lans-
downe stated that the Government had
received dispatches confirming the defeat
and flight Of Charles Albert, his abdication,
and that his son and successor, the present
King Of SARDINIA, had concluded an armis-
tice with the commander OF the Austrian
forces, with view to further negotiations,
(which he trusted would lead to a permanent
