ARRIvAI. OF THE EUROPA.
Fourteen Days Later from Europe. ].


Fourteen Days Later iron, Europe.
The steamer Europa brings very interesting
and important news from Europe. synopsis
of which we give below:
Austria and Haly-The most important
intelligence is from Italy. AT the sailing OF
the Niagara, it will be remembered, that war
was impending in the north of Italy, and it
was anticipated that either the Austrians or
The Piedmontese would Immediately crosse the
Ticino boundary In brief fortnight Charles
Albert has fought and been conquered, and is
now an a6dicated King and has taken refuge
in either Madrid or Lisbon.
The Austrians passed the Ticino simultane-
ously with the Piedmontese, who rapidly fell
hack, and three successive battles ensued. In
the latter on the planes of Vercella. the Aus
TRANS were completely victorious. The last
| battle, on the oath nlt.. the main body of the
| Austrians, some so thousand strong. encoun-
| tered Charles Albert near Mbrafo. The Pied
montese appeared 10 have been of more than
equal force.
The battle was fought with terrible obsti-
macy, and although we hear from many quar-
tiers that the Italians shrunk from the contest,
it is said 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 battle field and whatever may be the YER
dict of history as to his past conduct, certain
it is that nothing has advanced his public life
so much as this last act.
The general impression now is, or was at
last accounts. that the Pope would again be
permitted to return to Rome.

Piedmontese and driven them to the noun
