TURIs, May /.
The Austrians are advancing it is said, in great
numbers. They have done nothing in Aroma beyond
breaking the telegraph wires. wa assured the
party which had crossed the Lake Magglore were no
more than 800. Another large column has occupied
Noyara and is advancing upon Nercelli. Nothing is
said about the greatest which supposed be di
recting its course toward Alessandria- There was
general report this morning that skirlnish mad taken
piece al the Iced post at Cassolo, opposite 10
Abbiatte grasso. IL he's been encounter Of light
cavalry in which runor raid the Ausrians were four
to one A young Picdmontese officer, Capt Coli, has
drawn the frs, blood from the enemy by sabre-cut
across the Austrian commanding officers face. II was
a sort Of cbyalrous encounter between those two,
however, for both detachments retired.
The French pouring IN both from the Alps TO
Turin and from Genoa TO Alessandria. The King
has left this day. His headquarters at San Saliva
tore on hill between Alessandria, Ealenza and
Casale close to the ralway between the two toresse-.
and almost opposite to Naenza. If the Austrlans
have but 100 600 men the field, "a we are told no
doubt the Franco-Sardnians Tor Naio-Fr0nchi, NJ
they are here calledl are not inferior In numbers
The Austrians have however unreasonaby extended
their line of operations if they mean to attack both
Nercei and Casale side the Moniierrat nils,
and Now and Aessandra on the other side My opln-
ion Is that the occupation OF Noyara Il but ient;
and that the real attack will be made upon the for
tresses Austria will thus take the bull by the horns
but il was very evident that she could neither ad' ance
upon Turin without exposing her flank to her foes at
(a>ale nor vet attack Novi, without running the risk
Of an attack from AlcSsandra. NOvis besides, with
in reach of constant rapid and almost unlimited sue
cor from Genoa.
ON the whole. have not met human soul here
eyncing any uneasness apprehension with respect
IN tbe coming struggle. The Sandman arpy, already
well disposed has been raised to the highest pllch OF
enthusiasm by the sight of the first French troops In.
ouestionably there viii be great emulation between
two nations which look akin Outwardy far more than
they are similar in nature or dispOsition Inc raPd
marching in Of the French forces has already relnO' Ell
all ,hauees of an unequal combat; for the rest the
Italians must trust to the Justice of their cause The
repot o W al seems eane, attack Of the Ausnan-
las been received with burst OF universal Joy.
