" , The 2 Vbrd says : — " We have announced the junction of Prince Napoleon ' s corps with the army of Italy .

This fortress is cannonaded day and night by the army , -which has completely Invested it , and to -which will shortly be added the gun boats of the Lake of Garda . The resistance cannot be very prolonged . The Austrian army is massed entirely round Verona , and also in great part behind , the Adige . The French army Las advanced in that direction , and the blow which-wilt be struck at Verona will decide the fate of Venice . The Emperor Napoleon having sent back the , wounded Austrian officers without exchange ; andl having requested an exchange of prisoners , an Austrian officer has arrived with the announcement that the Emperor of Austria will also senoT back without exchange' the wounded prisoners of the Allies , and that His Majesty is equally disposed * foran exchange of other prisoners .

After two long interviews with Count Cavour at Turin , tho Hungarian exile , in compaay with a confidential friend of the Sardinian Minister * set out for Parma , to the headquarters of Prince ? Napoleon . When he arrived after midnight afr Piacenza he could quietly go to an hotel without being recognised . At breakfast , however , the waiter brought , tho foreigners' book to get the nameaof the guests inscribed , and seeing the name of " Kossuth , " ho rushed out of the room like a madman . Not five minutes passed , and all the thirty thousand inhabitants of Piacenza know it already , and , as if called together by an alarum bell ,, they rush under his windows and shout their vivas , -with the heartiest good will . At two o ' clock p . m . Kossuth arrived at'Parma . In a few minutes all the town was alive with the news ; the crowds assembled outside the hotel j . anfl a guard of honoiir was placed before tho door .
