From the Gentleman's Magazine for March, 1746. Foreign
History, Italy.
Affairs have taken a surprising turn in this country where
Don Philip, who after a long train of repeated successes,
had possessed himself, except two or three fortresses, of
all the fine country of Lambardy, in which he is to have
erected his new Kingdom, is, by the dextrous management of
the King of Sardinia, and the Austrian generals, forced to
abandon the conquer'd places one after another, and his own
generals seem in pain how to secure his person.--He was
obliged to abandon Milan, the capital of his projected
empire, on his birth-night, at the very time when a ball was
celebrated on the occasion.
