The War News.

The War News.
By the Anglo-Saxon, Kangaroo and
Persia. the news from the seat of war is IL
:ensely interesting; not only as it gives
deeds of arms suchas only could be achlev-
ed under the improved mode OF modern
warfare, but as having avery important
influence upen-sthe problem now beng
solved on the eastern continent. lmme-
diate results, of momentous character,
must follow. Either Austrian power will
be driven East TO the Adriatic, or Prus-
sia; will step in-perhaps with England's
and Prussia's aid-to roll back the wave
of victory, and compel France and Sardinia
to withdraw their forces west of the Ticino.
As the case now stands, by the aid of
the best. lights we can employ, we under
stand that the French Sandman troops
have fought their way across tho Ticiuo
into Lombardy, have met the Austrians in
large force at Magenta-about half way
from the Ticino to Milan-routed them
there, on the 4th June, with great slaught-
er, followed the Austrians up-who evacu-
ated Milan, leaving it to be occupied June
sth, by Napoleon and Victor Emanuel-
again the allies encountered the Austrlans
at Malegnano,-a town of some 7 to 10,-
900 inhabitants, situated 10 miles s. E. Of
Milan,-where battle, lasting uine hours,
was fought, with severe loss to the Aus
trians, and again driving the Austrians
who at the last accounts, of June 10th,
were in full retreat across the river AIDA,
having evacuated Patia-a city in South
western Lombardy, about 20 miles from
Milan-and establishing their head quar-
tiers at Cremona, a fortified city on the Po,
Feast of the mouth of the AIDA and
about fifty miles S. E. of Milan.
One statement, received by the Kanga-
roo, we cannot understand. 1t was said
that the Austrians, after the battle of Mag
enta, withdrew to Abbiato Grasso, which
is South-werterly from Magenta, on the
Ticino, and towards Piedmont. This, how
ever, was an Austrian dispatch and is per-
fectly inconsistent with all other accounts,
even from Austrian sources. ~. sssr.sIF
The telegraph spells the name e'of tie place
from which the Austrians were driven last
as MarigDsn, but 1t uneloubtedy is Naleg-
nano as we have above said. s.I
Garabaldi has also beaten the Austrians
at Brescia. This city is East of the river
Addo, about sixty miles North of East
from Milan, about two-thirds of the way
across the Lombardy from Piedmont to
Venice, and about thirty miles East of
North from Crenona the BOW headquarters
of the Austrians. a-ft = -'a-' = az
Thus it will be seen that the Austrians
are being driven into the South Eastern
part of Lombardy. Cremona, the Aus
trian headquarters, IS only across the Po
from Parma, a government whose Duchess
has abandoned her throne, released her
troops from allegiance, and which govern
ment has rendered itself 10 Victor Eman-
uel of Sardinia.
The Austrians are therefore getting into
close and into hot quarters, and are evident
ly making their way towards the South
Eastern corner of Lombardy and Western
border of venice. Here are Verona in We
nice, Mautua in Lombordy, and Pesehiera
on the line between Lombardy and Venice,
which are considered impregnable citadels,
and here they can probably defend success
fully against any attacking force. -
e Cremona, the preset headquarters ofthe
Austrians, is the city whence formerly
camethe world renowned violins, and hence
the fiddle which from beauty of tone, has
got the reputation of being a perfect l.'cre-
mona" is valued beyond price. The violin
manufacture has ceased there, yet proba-
bly, it will soon again he demonstrated in
Cremona, as it was of old, that .''those who
dance must pay the 'fiddler." u Clerelarsd
