Ixstv.—Every day of the past week has brought news unfavourable to the Italian cause. A series of open offensive operations, organized by Radet- sky, have been carried into effect by his subordinate generals, with such success that every Sardinian soldier has been driven from the country between the Adige and Mincio; Mantua has been relieved, and made an offensive point; Peschiera isolated, and reinvested ; the line of the Mincio reconquered for a frontier; and the retreating King Charles Albert driven. homewards.
