The news from all quarters afrms the success Of
Garlbaldi: since he has entered Lombardy ca b day
has been marked BY success. The friends Of the

ing the entrance Of Garibad into that city amid en-.
thusiastic accamations Col. Bontemps, who com.
ands the division of the Swiss Federal troops sta
portion of his men to the nearest line Of frontier to
Lombardy to be the better able to protect the
integrity of the Swiss territory. According to his
instructions, he is to receive with humanity while
disarming them, any detachments OF the beiigerent
armies that may seek refuge in Switzerland, but to
oppose by force of arms any who may attempt to
force passage with view to some strategic diver
sion. Throughout the whole of the Canton of the
Tessin, Garibalds has been hailed with un-
concealed enthusiasm which is easily explained by
the analogy OF race and language on the one hand,
and the resentment nourished against the Austrians
for the seventies often exercised against refugees who
had visited Lombardy on private matters"
The correspondent of the London Daily News
writes from Aessandria, May 90:
Since l wrote to you Garibadi has really done
wonders. After having twice beaten the Austrian
General Urban, at Varese, he routed him this morn
ing on the road Of St. Fermo, near the Camerata,
few miles from Como. This town has been already
occupied by our Cacciatori delle Alp, and all the

We have not yet received details of these brilliant
exploits in which Captain Decristopors, already well
known in England, and two brothers Strambo, have
done wonders. Captain Bodrni fell during the
glorious attack of san Fermo.
The Messager de Paris publishes the following de.
! tails of Garibaldi's operations:
"On the 9th of May, after fierce contest, Carl
baldi repnlsed the Austrians and entered Como, a
town not more than eighteen or twenty miles from
Milan"
The intelligence is of the highest importance, and
Garibalds splendid feat Of arms will be the signal for
| the rising of the Lombard provinces To compre-
hend the full value Of this news, it is ndispensably
requisite to make known the position just taken up
