macy; although we hear from many quarters
that the Italians shrunk from the contest, it
is said that Charles Albert behaved with the
most distinguished bravery, but finding the
day was going against him, he seems TO have
sought every opportunity to meet his death
in the battlefield; and whatever may be
the verdict of history as his past conduct,
certain it is that nothing has advanced his
public life so much as this last act.
The Austrians having completely routed
the Piedmon,ese and driven them 10 the
mountains, Charles Albert abdicated the
throne in favor of his son Victor Emanuai,
and flag of truce being sent 10 the Austrian
tent, Marshal Radetzky at once acceded to
an axmistce. The new king pledges him
selfb conclude treaty of peace, TO disband
ten military companies Of Huugarians, Poles
and Lombards. The Austrians, who hold
Turin, opened TO them magnanimously, for
bore TO take advantages which might have
provoked the susceptibility OF France.
Affairs i'm England.
Parliament adjourned for the Easter re.
cess, and met again on the 10th. The two
main objects which have divided its attention
have been the navigation bill, and the rate

Adyces from Hamburgh, 31st iust., state
thai there is no chance now of the differences
between Schleswig Holstein and Denmark
being amcably settled, and no doubt HOSTILE
ties will commence to-day or tomorrow.
Troops, principally Prussians, are passing con.
tinually TO the seat of war. The port Of Keil
is blockaded. There does not appear to be
the least hope that Denmak will yield the
Duchies; and as Russia will, unquestionably,
support her pretensions, il is to be hoped that
the Germans will be wise enough 10 yield
the point in dispute rather than run the haz-
ard of disastrous war.

having gained some advantage over body
of Russians soon found himself overwhelmed
with their numbers and the Emperor will
gladly seize upon any pretext to interfere
further. We shall not be at all surprised +
hear that the Emperor of Russia, upon the
solicitation OF the Austrians, brings down {
large force to crush the Hungarians. A

both parties in the most barbarous manner.
The Election for the Emperor Of Germany.
The Frankfort parliament has finally elec
ted the King of Prussia Emperor of German.
and the powerful depulation has proceeded
to Berlin TO tender the crown of ChaIlemagne
AT first no one believed that the king woul
be so mad as to accept the preferred honor
but now it is believed that he will with cer
tain conditions, SO as to avoid giving offenc
TO the other potentales of Germany. Shout
he do so, it is generally believed that it wi
most certainly involve Prussia in a war wit
Austria and Russia.
