THE WAR NEWS.

The mail accounts by the Icrrin, bring de.

Austrian Italy. and distant about II miles s.
L. from Milan.
The news. n, arc from the war, is not of rrea,
Importance, although, indcnt"ns of opinion,
and tn" igns Gf events, render it increasingly
pr"hnblc ,!at the will tc extended to
other combatan;s not yet engaged.
Til" New York journal Of Commerce thus
sums up the news:
The previous reports of the victory of the
Allies ut Magenta are fully confirmed, that
they are in possession of Milan. have succeed

army.
The march of events in Northern italy du-
ring the Vast few weeks has been indeed swift
, and' mOmcntous. The Austriaus crossc,l the
Ticino and entcrel Sardinia on the 10Th of
April. small portion Of the French having
five days previously landed at Genoa. On the
l2th of May. Louis Napoleon tisembarked at
the sane port; on the 2lst the allies gained
the battle of Montebello: on the 3nth, crossed
the Po at Casale, and on the 2d of June, the
Ticino at Turhigo; won on the 4th The decisive
victory at Magenta, and on the 9th entered
Milan as conquerors. thus literally fulfilling the
prophecy Of the Emperor when he entered
Italy, that within a month he would date his
dispatches from the capital Of Lombnrdy.
Brilliant and decisive are the results, the
allies have as yet only passed the boundaries
Of Lombardy, and are separated from he Adri-
attic by innumerable dangers and obstacles, not
the least of which are the mnssive furlifica

on both sides are fearful 1t is perhaps low
