MAY O. Tits wee telegrams we publish this morning some of which, it win bs observed, are ►rom the Sardinian headquarters, and one from the Chief el the French Staff, pemege a welcome engagement is I'iedmost at an early date. Our last detailed accounts Nee Terie, dated the end, showed that that part of the Austrian form which was advancing north alibi Po, had issued from the Lomellia& and the district of the Lower Novara, when it had halted some what Me:placably after the passage of the Ticino, one dim columns crowing the Bede and occupying Vercelli, while another column, which had entered Piedmont at Vigevano, was at Modem. At thesauri time a eorps much stronger than there was reported to he moving from Straddle ►nd Voghera. Yeat s/ the letter lean Turin agree is stating that the op"- aim prevailing there wee that the enemy medi tated an attack on Novi, on important military point commanding the communication between Pence, which has now become the chief be.. of operations for the Freon', and Alemandris. The telegrams of the last twenty-four hours favour the, speculations of our correspondents. The enemy has occupied the Sardinians with real or feigned at tempts to MOO the Po at sewn' points, from Trine on the west to Cambia on the east. The malt el their advance on Trim , . 'which is about 10 mdse west of the fortress of Casale, is unknown. Below Fressinetto, about midway between Candia and Valens; the Po is stalled with islands, and here the Austrians made an attempt to pass over, but wire repulsed by the Sar dinian, at a low to the latter of twenty men killed and wounded. This is the first authentic account we lurched of actual bloodshed in the present war. Lower down, at Vslenza, a cannonade woe com menced by the enemy on Tuesday night, but up to Wedneeday evening it had been ineffectual. At Cambia, about thirteen miles north-east of Ales sandria, however, the Austrians effected a passage on Monday or Tuesday, descending, as appears probable, from Mortara, ea the form at Moo bad done from Vercelli. The column which has jolt effected this operation will cones upon a rued leading directly to Tartans. It will probably endeavour to gain this town, and there effect • junction with the corps ad vancing by Btrodella and Foghorn. If they want to fight, an easy road conducts to the field of Marengo, only ten miles distant on their right, and they would not probably be required to wait for the 14th of June ; or, if Novi is their aim, the road is equally direct. It is at Tartona, however, that the choice of the Austrians will have to be made, or rather dis closed. lied the invaders made a sudden dash at Novi a week age, they might have inflicted infinite inconvenience on the Piedmoutese. Now, however, the French have had time to arrive in large num ber., so that there can be fewer than from eighty to ninety thousand of them on this Plethora tese eoi , ,and every day diminishes the advantages to be gained by an attack on Novi. We are, however, simply calling attention to the probability of an Im portant action to be fought not far from Tattoos, and shall not affect to anticipate the judgment of the Austrian General.

In the weeds of a oornereadeat writing from Rome, " the will of the Piedmonts.. Government bolds all " Italy in the strictest moral subordination." This is indeed to be a King. The Government la already seized with the die terbing conviction that Reform is, after all, the rock &head on which it is destined to be wrecked. Almost every conceivable effort has bees mode to change the eine, but in vain. Ministers have, in deed, been peculiarly anfortunate in the *mane 06116 they have attempted to set up. First, these was the cry of " Lord Deans and efficient legal*- " don." The Derbyites were represented as the only party who could carry on the business of the snotty with •igoar, sagacity, and deipatob ; and the nation was invited to consider the number of important Bills that hail been brought in by the preeent Ministry. Lord Jolla Itttaiiett, being gifted with as inconveniently tenacious memory, accepted this invitation rather too literally. it. reviewed with remorseless accuracy the more serious attempts (tithe Government at the business of legislation, and showed that they had proved conspicuous and even ludicrous " failures." Then there was the cry of " Lord MILNE/MUST and the Peace of Rurope;" but the course of events has swiftly brought to light the anquisits irony of that luckless appeal. Finally, there was the cry of " Lord Denny and the 'Happy oFamily ' party." The last link of union aeroapt 1111611111111•11 Conservatives wits boldly fixed on as the tallying watchword of the party. They had se priaeiplse, es these were thrown to the winds when they hat took office in 1862. They had no policy, hr this was abandoned when, contrary to their nee vinous, they became reformers last year. But they were still held together by the commas link et sitting on the same bench, and following the same leader. They were a party, and a united party. Tree, Mr. =ELLE and Mr. WALPOLE had left the minieterialraaks, and Lord STANLEY voted for the ballot. True, almost every *peeler on the Govern , sant side of the House objected to the Government Bill. But the Derbyites claim to be a united lowly through a common obedience to their chief, tad their claim may be allowed, as they faithfully fol lowed their leader into the right lobby, Thln " happy family" union is the founded."' and seem» of the appeal to the caary. It weelliesght prominently forward by Lord Drain in theneweeetLeede. It ran through Mr. Diezentit aedesieseedirees to the electors of Bucks ; awl bee been repelled on the hustings by Ministeriallek throeglseet the country. The Conservatives dist timely claim to govern the country not benne they two a principle or a policy, but became they sit in theism benches, and have the enviable runty of walking into the same lobby at the right moment. Fee the rest, if only the Government is allowed to remain in office, they are willing to sit meekly on the Ministerial benches, " waiting for orders," ready to do the bidding of any party, and cheer fully execute whatever Piolisment may demand. No doubt this is a touching proof of humility and devotion to the tational interests. But the country is deaf to the appeal, sod rejects with base ingratitude the conciliatory offer. It demands a sting government, faithfully reflecting the marina will. And on one point, at all events, the limit: sal will has been decidedly expressed during the ales. dope. The country is assolved to have a geed Deform Bill without delay. That Ministers already feel this fatal truth is slay from the last speeches delivered by mem. ben of the Government. The busting.' addressee of the ATTORNEY-GINIZAL and the Earl of MARCE, last Wednesday, are almost wholly devoted to the question of Reform. In the present excited auto of the public mind it would, perhaps, have been natural to dwell at some length on our foreign relations and the foreign policy of the Government, but we can easily Imagism this is not a very tempting theme to it. 'appertain. They are, in fact, at this moment in a very awkweel dilemma. They must speak, and speak if possible, , so as to pin popular re.nort; but what in the world ' are they to talk about? There is no subject, no single point in home or foreign affairs that is at once safe and suitable. At best it is a choice of evil*, and of the two evils, Austria and a redacted franchise, they choose the latter se the least. While sympathising with the creel asesentry that obliged them to discuss the subject, we cannot congratulate either the learned gentle. man or the noble Earl as the news of their efforts. As they were companions in diens* so by a singu lar coincidence in both speeches the conclusion con tradicts the premises. Sir Invent Kette selected es the theme of his discourse the rather inconsistent proposition, " Lord DELT, the friend of the work " ing man, and the he of a reduced franchise." In the Brat part of hie speech he dwelt with emphasis on the fact that the Government Reform Bill would have folly enfranchised " the middle classes." He bed advocated this two years ago, long before the subject was taken up by the present Go- vernment, urging his friends to agitate " the question of Reform with a view to " ea extension of the elective franchise to the great " body of the middle classes of the people." And in dealing with the subject the " Government ended " soured by their Bill to equalise the qualifications " for the exercise of the elective franchise, and they would thus have at once enfranchised the Win middle classes of the people." On the strength, epprently,of them generous efforts the learned pm deem proceeded to sasert rather warmly that the Onwevatives are the special friends of the working elasser, and had for years past devoted themselves to the good work of securing their rights and forward ing their interests. Ile waxed exceedingly indignant Indeed against those Liberals who ventured to taunt the Vries with being the enemies of the working slay s. The crowd assembled round the hustings did sot feel the force of this singular argument, in quang with the rude directness which characterises the popular English mind, " What Lord DERBY had "ever don fur them ?" and intimating plainly *sough their opinion that he never onset to do any. thing for them. lae Earl of Lang was etereelysere fortunate than the Arronair-Ocenat. in lie refireeote lo the question of Reform.

The grounds of his appeal, however, u expounded by the noble earl, were not only inconsistent but suicidal. In the early part of his speech, for example, he represented the Opposi tion as sufficiently powerful, not only to form a Government but to revolutioniee the country ; whereas, towards the close, heoentemptuously refers to it as made up of " paltry parties, no one of which was able to conduct tie business of the " country." Again, he says that the only altlrna. tire for the country is a" Conservative Government " presided over by Lard Diary, or a Government " presided over by Lori JOHN Itossam., which he " could call nothing bed a pore democracy." Why a democracy? The noble Earl says in his address that Lord DERBY'S Bill would have doubled the present number of electors; bat the proposal of that arch-democrat sad sworn foe of the Cot stitation, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, according to the best calculation, would seemly add so many to the electoral body. The feat ;s, this anti-revolu tionary cry, all this hustings talk about the deluge and democracy, is either pitifully foolish or culpably insincere. Those who adopt it know perfectly there is no ground for the fears they profess. They know also that if any such strong tide of democracy as they talk about had really set in, Lord DIRET would be as powerless to arrest It as Ma.

The Piedmontese only had a few wounded, whilst the Austrians experienced much loss. Four thousand Austrians were yesterday at Cu- By a telegram from oar Paris correspondent we learn that the Moositeur of this morning contains • despatch from Aleseandris, dated Wednesday even ing, 9 o'clock, p.m., to the following effect :—" The Austrians, who bad crossed the Po in small numbers at Cambio, and pushed their vanguard u far as Bala, have recrossed the river. The Austrian divisions posted on the right bank still threaten to attempt the panage of the Po at Freasinetto i but the river, which is much swollen by the rains, would at present offer a difficult obstacle to their crossing. " The rain continues to fall, and the low grounds are covered with water." The Emperor has constituted his cabinet for the army, having named M. Charles Robert, master of requests of the second claw to the Council of State, the chief of his cabinet; M. Lemarie, senior auditor of the council, first attaché ; and M.

It i stated by a Brussels contemporary that the Duke of Malakoff, in taking the command of the army of observation, will receive the title of Marahal-1 Oeneral--a title borne in French history by so many great military chiefs. The duke will at the same ' time be invested with the command of all the troops remaining in Franos for the defence of the territory and the internal security of the state. A Paris letter says :—" The Dake of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief of the English army, has ap plied to the Sardinian government for weds @ion to send a superior British officer to the Sardinian headvarters. Of cower, the an swer could only be in the affirmative, and It is said that the officer selected will be Colonel adorn, who wee English commissary at the Sardinian head quarters in this Crimea in 1835 and DM," By another authority it is stated that a British Commissioner will also accompany the French and the Austrian armies. Mgr. Rinker, Prizes Archbishop of Vienna, hen just published a pastoral letter in the Vienna Gazette, in which is the following pusage :—" War is not the greatest of evils; it is often a painful but glorious work accomplished in the urvios of equity. The supreme authority has the right and the duty to punish the brigand who, faithful to the language of communism, declares that property is robbery. There are brigand states, it should be remembered, as well u brigand men." This is followed by an enumeration of all the crimes of Piedmont, and of the ambitious views of Napoleon 111. The arch. bishop concludes by proposing to the Austrian sol diers the example of Judas Maccabees. The Patrie apropos of this violent manifesto says that the archbishop, of all the councillors of Francis Joseph, distingu , thed himself by his uncom promising opposition to any pacific arrangement. A Vienoa letter of the Ist says: . .

In these two ostensive divisions of the empire there ars now only six or seven Haiku regiments, which were rent there in March.

The Indiposdames Belo of yesterday ersaing says: ---- - ' - The gravest sews of the day is that the English government has protested at Paris against the Famine of French troops through the neutralised territory of Savoy; that is to say, against the use of the railway constructed upon that part of Savoy. The French government replied that it could not acknowledge this protest, es the use of this territory had been agreed upon with Switzerland—which was charged to maintain the neutrality of Savoy specified in the treaties of Vienna—and that the two governments were of opinion that the Sardinian road was not included in the neutralised ground, the Haiti of which were eo badly defined by the treaty."

Two other steamers, on the treeing of the 27th, were bringing in five sailing ves sels with troops ; another followed them closely, and three others were seen at a defence, and had been signalled. If each contained troops the garrison will amount to 10,000 men. Other batralione are ready at Trieste for emberka don for the same destination. The Immense material of war alarms people even more than the number of troops. The road to the port has been closed to eanceal what is disembarked, be eve cannon have bean openly taken to the Boulevard of Bt. Agostino.

BERLIN, THVBADAY. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Foreign Minister made a statement with reference to the present position of affairs. He lamented the out break of war, and said that Prussia was, without deviation, pursuing her object of watching over the leafety of Germany, the security of national interests, and the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe. It is with that object that the army has been placed in readiness to march. The Finance Minister then moved the temporary addition for one year of 40 millions of thaler to the Income Tax, the Clue Tax, and the taxes on meat and corn. This addition to be further increased by 23 per cent. in cue the mobilisation of the army should become necessary. The Bank of PrIIIMIIII hu this day raised its rate of discount to 6 per cent.

PARIS, THVBADAT EVENING. There is no doubt that the fighting has now begun. Yon will get the Austrian accounts in Ragland long before they arrive here, and will therefore be in a much better position than a cor respondent in France to attempt to strike a balance of truth between the inevitably one-sided statements of the contending parties. It is plain that the official despatch in the Moisiteur, stating that up to half-past 1 yesterday there had been " no engage ment," was incorrect. The Pattie, feeling this, is reduced to misquote the Moniteur, which it repre sents as having announced that there has been no serious" engagement. We now learn by the official bulletin published at Turin, that on the occa sion of the Austrians attempting to pass the Po at Frassinetto, firing commenced on the 3rd, and lasted " fifteen holm ;" and that the firing re commenced in the afternoon of the 4th, and lasted " all the rest of the day." Considering that the Austrians are known to be well supplied with artillery, which probably took a large part in the firing alluded to, the Patric must be bloodthirsty indeed if it does not call the engagement a " serious" one. The Petrie would probably have done better not to correct the wording of the despatch in the lifositsur, which may after all be accurst, u far as it goes, if we read the assertion that there has been "no engagement," as restricted to the occasion of the passage of the Po by the Austrian troop. near Cambio. The cannonading alluded to in the tele grams is connected with an alleged unsuccessful attempt of the Aurtrians to arose the river " below Frassinetto." A postscript in the bulletin of the Pattie mentions& "private report" that the Austrians had been compelled totems. the Po, in consequence of the inundations. The affairs alluded to in the telegrams of this afternoon are understood to have taken place between the Austrian, and Sardinians exclusively. I do not hear that the French have yet fired a shot. The expected review of the National Guard did not take place to-day. The usual proosesion (on May 5, the anniversary of the death of Napoleon I.) of old soldiers, in uniforms of the empire, from the Invalids. to the column in the Place Vendome, took place, and, owing to existing circumstances, natu rally excited more attention than formerly. Nothing certain is known concerning the day of the Emperor's departure. The Freese speaks of it a. being " again postponed." No letters or newspapers from any part of Italy have arrived in Paris to-day. The Bourse was rather firm in the morning, bat the slight tendency towards a rise was depressed by news of failures at Berlin, Vienna, and Liverpool. The Bente, after having touched 61fr. 25c., closed heavily at 61fr. for cash, and 60fr. 93c. for account, with a fall of 15e. and 10c. Mobilier fell 15fr. The Northern Railway rose 2fr. 50c., but all the other lines were about sfr. lower. It is averted in Sullier's correspondence, on the faith of a letter dated from " Head-quarters, Nancy," that the French government has suggested to M. Mon, the Spanish Ambassador, that in order to give some proof of the friendly relations which exist between the two countries, Spain would do well to send a corps of 26,000 men to reinforce the army of Italy. I rather think that rumours of this kind have been circulated before, and contradicted.
