Events in the Old World since the day the
Persia sailed do no not belle public expecta-
ton in this country. The Austrians, admit
ting all the disastrous consequences of their
successive defeats at Montebello, Palestro,
Varese, Como, Magenta and Malegnano, are
rapidly retiring upon the styongholds at Pres
chiera, Mantua, Verona and Legnano.-
They have abandoned Pavia, Piacenza, Ber-
gamo and Lodi, destroying their works and
spiking their cannon as they go. They have
given up Ancona on the Adriatic, and arc cal
ling in their scattered garrison from the States
ofthe Church, surrendering possession of Fer
rara, even, where they were supposed to be 50
strong Military men familiar with the ground
have supposed that they would make a stand
on the banks qf the AIDA; but the rememb~
rance Of Lodi was too much for them, and
/ they passed the stream without firing a
| single gun
| In the meantime the world will look with as
tonishment at the astounding success of the
| Allied arms-success which in the minds of
all Frenchmen bring back the days of 1890
and 1900, when Napoleon the Great swept
the Austrians off that same Italian grouud.
The feature of the news is, however, the
Imperial Proclamation Of Napoleon to tho L.
alians, dated at Milan:
