EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
TURIN, May 5.
persons are defirotis of knowing the circrm
(lances which have compelled the king <rf Saidtnia
j to conclude an armitHce by which he fnrrendered
e himfelf to the French. We are allured that after
1 the battle of Mondovi general Colli wrote to the
y court, jhat it wasimpolfible for him, with an army
diiheartened and reduced neatly one half, to Kt;li
, out BUich longer against the French. It was then
e that the king and His council upon the'reprefenta'
n tions of the prince of PicdtnOnt determined to »tk
a fufpenfton of arms-although Beaulieu was then
*on his march to attack the French. r lhe French
h general thought of 1 nothing less than grafting a
■ r trace ; however not to give fimplv a negative an
fe fwer he prtlpdfed the conditions expressed in the
at trtaty, not thinking that they could be accepted.
In the interim Chetafco was taken by a coup d.*
main. There then remained no ylaee or poll for.
h- tified between the French army and Turin. Iha
in Freuch , tne>al-faw the Baron de la Tour arrive,
nd who informed him, that his Sardinian majeily had
re I 6gn«d the articles of the Truce, and had given or
daw that they should be complied with as loon as
i possible; The king of Sardinia havisg no longer
I a futScient army to cover Turin, saw as well the
I danger of remaining iu the city as of leaving it*
The inhabitants cried peace, peace, and very pro*
— bably would not have foftained a siege. The fuf-
I render of the capital worfld probably have drawtl
after it that of other places, and the king of Sar
dinia would have fecn the whole of Piedmont con
by quertd and in a revolutionary ftatc. It is supposed
itea that the court of Turin flattered i'.felt with obtain*
h' s 1 ing an indemnification in Lorobardy, and that it
ec ~ I will offer iti"alliance to the French. It is true that
£ e t ' s they do not need the affiftancn of the Piedmontefe
! 8 to finifh that conquest ; but it may be to their in
»nt, tereft to sngage it in a war with the emperor.
the I The minister of tVic emperor, the count de Ge*
; of 1 rardine', is' returned here ; this has given rile to a
•son I great many conjedturei. But as the court of Tu
nc" rin is not at war with the emperor, i: is plain that
ifert a minister cannot quit his pod without the express
order of his court. The princefles of France who
had gone from Turin, have returned thither since
the finning of the truce between the French and
I the Piedfflontefe.
