Our Court Gazette of this day contains the following article: from the same motives which induced his imperial majesty to order the general in chief of the army of Inner Austria to march a detachment of imperial troops into the Venetian part of Istria, he has also directed to detach another corps into Dalmatia, the inhabitants of, which did not seem inclined to take a share in the revolution effected at Venice. In consequence of these orders, several corps of troops, commanded by generals Rukavina and Luignan, and by colonel Caimir, were embarked at Trieste and Fiume on board two squadrons, which set sail on the 25th of June.—The Trieste squadron having been dispersed by a storm off Rovigno, gen Rukavina made with some ships the bay of Fasan, but the greatest part of the squadron was obliged to fly to between Rovigno and Pola. The wind continuing foul until the 2d of July, the squadron was not able to get under weigh again before that day. Colonel Caimir, whose corps, consisting of 3 battalions of foot and some horse, was embarked at Fiume, met with more favorable winds; he landed at Zara on the 29th of June, and was received by the inhabitants with the most unequivocal demonstrations of joy. The Trieste flotilla sailed again on the 2d of July, and reached Zara on the 5th, where the troops were likewise disembarked under the loudest acclamations of joy on the part of the inhabitants. General Rukavina was desired to march the next following day to Sebenico, Spalatro, Clissa, and Segni, the result of which march is not yet known.
According to the report of field marshal lieutenant Lerchen, he has likewise extended his position nearer to the Venetian territory, and manned and armed several vessels on the lake of Garda.
