The steamship Vanderbilt arrived at New York on
the 2lst with dates from Havre and Southampton to
the 18th Her dates are hardly late the teegraphc
dispatches by the City of Baltimore but as she brings
files of European papers, the details she brings fuller
and more satisfactory.
Some revolutionary indications have been seen in LON
hardy, the ticolor flag of Italian nationality having
been hosted by the people before the Castle at Como
The movements of the Austrian troops are difficult
to understand and there would appear to be some evi
dences Of wavering retreating. The country into
which they have advanced is overhowed and malarious
rendering active operation difficult not impossible and
subecting their army to the risk of being enfeebed by
sickness before it has dealt or received hostile blow
The Independence Beige, Russian organ published
at Brussels in Belgium, says that General Garbaldi,
combining his movements with General Callini, had
attacked the Austrians at Verce beating them COM
petey and bringing off three hundred prisoners. Gar
ibadi was of the revolutionary leaders in 1848 and
is at the head of division of the volunteer corps of
which Austria complained demanding that they be dis
banded
It is proper to remark THAT nearly all the accounts
published come through French and Sandman official
channels the only official statement made by Austria
being that the Austrian troops have destroyed the Rail-
way bridge at Valenza. Valenza is on the Pc,
miles north of Alessandria at the point where the Rail-
road from Turin to Genoa crosses that river. This
would prevent the railroad being used to carry French
troops from Genoa to Turin Piedmontese from Turin
to Genoa
All the English militia is to be called out and the
Channel feet is to be augmented by 700 guns force
equal to than nine IA gun lneofbatteshps or to
fourteen fifty gun frigates Or to any number Of lighter
steamers and gun-boats.
