EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS. (By the Electric Telegraph of the South Eastern Railway )

We have receivfd by electric teWraph From Dover this morning, a drspatrh, bywhiili we have news from Mil in to March 33. The King of Sardinia occupied Lodi w tli 8009 men, and was to be followed by the Duke of Savoy with 200] men and 100 pieces of artillery. The despatch further states that 10 000 Romans and 700) Tuh-ans hud anivcd at the Jo. The Lombard and the bvviss troops had defeated the Auhtrians at Ba«riola, and had taken 800 pnsoners. At Verona, like all the olher great cities, the population ha i risen, and rendered themselves masters of ihe place ever lince the 22nd of March. Tue troops had withdrawn into the torts. The Viceroy, who had taken leluge there after the events of Milan, was blockaded in his palace by the people, who bad heaped around it piles of faggoti, threatening to burn him and liis fain ly in it if a single gun were discharged upon the town. Meanwhile the fate of the Viceroy is uncertain- Some reports announce that he had been allowed to depart, and gone to Austria by the Tyrol. More recent account*, however, contradict this, and say that he was arrested with his family. A posticript of the Piedmontese Gazette of the Slst states tie Austrian army lvid quitted Soncino and Orzinovio, and were marcelling towards Mantua, " Advices lrom Milan of the 30th, which I mentioned briefly yesterday, give it as official that the Piedmon« tese General Bes, at the head of 13,000 men, had attacked a party of Austrians near Montechiaro, and completely routed them, taking prisoners a squadron of cavalry, three pieces of cannon, and a baggage train. The sams letters say that the Austrian army had established itself near thac place in order to battle, but it is added, that they were unprovided with subsistence. A republic had been declared at Venice. " The loss ol Venice," says the Journal del Dtbaii, " has sadly aggravated the situation of the Austrian army, inasmuch as it can no longer receive reinforcements from Trieste via Venice. But this circumstance in nowise alters the intrinsic importance of the position of Verona, from whence they may face on both sides if necessary, by covering themselves by the Adige and the lake of Gawla. Lt us hope that the Italians will render vain those hypotheses. An insurrection is said to h.ive occurred in Tyiol. Such, an event would seem improbable in a country which at all times has evinced the greatest loyalty to the house of Austridj and levolted vith considerable energy agatiut Bavaria, with which Napoleon had incoiporated it in 1809. But, in the state of political convulsion in Europe, the most extraordinary facts have become probable. If Tyrol, from hitherto unknown causes, has actually revolted, the position of the Austriau army will become truly deplorable."
