Garibaldi makes great strides in northern
Lombariy. His last achievement is victory
over an Austrian force at Brescia, which is as
far down as Milan, and 60 miles farther east.
AT this rate he will speedily be able to have a
hand in the general fight against the main army
of the Austrians
Gen Garibaldi occupied Bergamo on the morn
ing of the 9Th, and having learned that 10 900
AustrlanS we've coming from Bresca, sent de-
tnchment TO meet them which, though inconsid-
cradle in number, nevertheless beat the enemy.
Gen Urban, the Austrian commander, is said
to have effected his retreat by Cassano. The
Austrians evacuated Laveno, abandoning mate
rials of war, and taking shelter in vessels in
Swiss waters.
