The last intelligence informed us that Prince

The inexplcable conduct Of this hero, in taking hi
soldiers on such long promenade, has everywhere

Of forty thousand men. At his interview with tn
Emperor it is expected he will receive liberty tt
attempt something. II is time that the rihed can
begin to pour their iron storm upon the walls O
Mantua. The Prince has now in his hands the ma
