Europa steamer-..Mors Fighting.
The North Briton steamship whose dates
from Liverpool, to June 1st, we gave in the
MISNEsorIAN Of last Monday, informed US
that the Sardinians and French, under the i'm
mediate command of King Victor Emanuel,
"had passed the Sesia river in the face Of the
Austrians, who were fortified at Palestro, and
after severe conflict, carried the place, taking
many prisoners" ,..
The same arrival brought us some intelli-
sence concerning Gen. Garibaldi's bold move
ment upon the Austrian province of Lom-
bardy. The news was, however, contradic-
tory.
The steamer Europa, however, which has
Just arrived at Halifax, with Liverpool dates
to the 4th inst. confirms the crossing OF the
Sesia and the capture of Palestro by the Sar-
dinians, with the additional news that the
Austrians twice attempted the retake the
place, but were repulsed, after sanguinary en-
counters. The following are the Sandman
