Tn s. telegrams we paWish from the seat of war bid us prepare to receive intelligence of important military events. The retreat of the Austrians has brought them to their reaerves on the Mincio and Adige, where they have been joined by important reinforcements. They an said to be now concentrated at Montechiaro, behind the Chime, having in their rear the plain of Castiglione, • name memorable in the campaigns of the First NAPOLEON, in 1798. The Allies are so near to them that we hear of the Em peror of the Pence and the King of Svautnu receiving addressee at Brescia on Saturday, while the Emperor of MMS'S was reviewing his troops at Lonato, a town only 13 miles distant. From the left wing of the Allies we have news of • smart encounter commenced by OAIIIALDIN Cacciatori dells Alpi, and ending in the establishment of the Sardinians at Castenedola, half way between Brescia and Monte ehiaro. From the centre and right wing our intel ligence is lees precise, but we may presume that the forces composing them have made progress corm sponding to that of the Piedmentese. The reports from each of the hostile camps speak of the high military spirit with which the combatants are animated. Of the Austrians between the Chime and the Mincio there are probably from 100,000 to 180,000 who have not yet seen the French. The ESIPESOZ is among them; they occupy one of the strongest positions in the world, and they have a decided nume rical superiority. The Austrian garrisons from the Legation and from Modena have been called in The 4th corps crannee has joined the army of Italy, and the 13th follows it, while the corps or arm , e belonging to the third army, hitherto stationed in Upper and Lower Austria, are sent to Trieste. The complaisance of the Germanic Conte deratioo, which releases Austria from her military federal obligations, and enables her to employ against the French the troops she is bound to furnish to Germany, renders these reinforcements possible. Unless the German papers are misinformed, the Confederation, the neighbour of France, is giving up regiments which, no matter whether con tributed by Austria or Prussia, are part of its army, in order that they may be employed against France in Italy. Politicians will decide whether this is consistent with public law ; meanwhile the augmen tation of the Austrian army remains a fact to be borne in mind in the grand operations which may now be expected. The Emperor of Arnim is ap parently determined that his defeat, if defeated be must be, shall not be a small one, for it will vir tually be that of his entire army. While such is the attitude of the belligerents, • power which has hitherto remained neutral strongly invites attention by the maples& of its peeper*, tient', and the ambiguity of its policy. Prussia, which has, up to a recent date, shown a desire to act in harmony with England, appears to be at the Present moment following • line of its own. It is impossible to suppose that it is a matter of slight importance which, at this conjuncture, takes the Prussian Minister at Vienna to Verona, the head quarters of the Austrian Em ezaoa, in company with the chief Minister of Fairect4 Joem•tt. Yet this step, which coincides with the transfer of six army corps to a war footing, is taken at • moment when friendly counsel with the British Goverment is impossible, because that Governmeat is in • state of transition. Of coarse it is net to be suggested that a first-rate power like Prussia is bound to shape its course with strict reference to the policy we may adopt ; but the mend case is peculiar. Prussia, which threw sway great opportunities of preserving peace, now les it in its power to plunge all Europe is war. Prince Crown it ► frankly signified to our Go vernment in the middle of January that Russia is not the friend but the offended neighbour of Austria; England is • stranger to the present war, and Prussia is the only remaining non-belligerent power whose course of action is doubtful. It may be that the suggestions and offers of which Baron WERTIIL/A is the bearer to Vienna, are so equitable, wise, and disinterested, that they contain their own justification, and have only to be known in order to be appreciated by a grateful world. In - that ease we must still regret the inconvenience of secrecy, because in the absence of exact intelligence the meat pernicious reports are doing their work. Upon the diplomatic measures which the Pnisce Itzt.aor may adopt within the !text few days it will depend whether the war now raging is Italy shall be confined to that territory or be spread over Europe. We mast hut think it would have shown a desire to maintain the friendship between England and Prussia which is so desirable for the interest of the two countries and of the world, if the advice of England had been taken oo that subject. It may not be true, we earnestly hope it is not true, that Primula has coccluded, or is about to conclude, a treaty with Austria; but we know that the existence of such a treaty is credited in Paris amongst persons accustomed to be highly informed. We ate the less able to credit this report, because every step by which Austria has advanced to her present position has been taken in defiance of the urgent wishes of Prussia. In his circular of the 22nd of April, Baron SCIILLINITL explained to the Prussian representatives at the various Courts of Germany the position of the Government as modi fied by the Austrian ultimatum to Sardinia. The Prosaism Minister there condemned the conduct of Austria' in unequivocal terms, and de clared plainly:—" The Imperial Government bee " now. as regards Sardinia, undertaken the pert •• of aggressor; and, if there ever could have been a doubt epon the question as to whether Austria " mould claim , io a war fur her Italian Provinces " Ibe supper/ of the German Coalecteratioe, nadir Tgp SXPSEBS , 71 , ONNLY ,EVENING, JUNE * " prevent circumstance", Seetien 11 . 1 11 of the Fiat 1 " Aet of the Congress of Vitae' toilets:tun laming " negative over every soh doubt." A Me ydpm which accompanied this Circular lays down the principle" which are to determine the course of the Germanic Confederation when one of its mem bers is involved in war in its extra federal territories. The Minister observes that The action of the Confederation hu for its object " and purpose only the defence of the Federal ter " ritory, not the interests of the Federal State " immediately concerned that go beyond this de " fence." Ile shows that it is not within the 'impo tency of a majority of the Federal Diet to reader usiatance to a member of the Confederation where • iefacto danger to the Federal territory does not exist, and states that if such a determination were COMO to it would not be binding. He lays down expressly that " It wee • tranegramisa in this direction when, at " the very eonsmencement of the Italian crisis, it was " maintained in many quarters that the point at issue wu not whether a violation of Federal territor* "were threatened, but that it sufficed that the " Italian possessions of Austria, with the eventuality " of the Imperial State being thereby weakened, " should be endangered, in order to empower a majority of the Diet to decree the rendering of " Federal aid." It is pretended, however, by some German writers that since the fortresses on the Mincio and the Adige contribute to the safety of the Federal territory, to maintain them in the possession of a German power must be a matter of Federal duty. Out of Germany, however, this argument will not avail. From the population south of the Alps the Germans have nothing to apprehend, and moreover between them and the Fatherland nature has reared an immense rampart which odes all the protection that material ob stacles can afford. Besides, is it not monstrous to pretend that a domination, intolerable to those upon whom it weighs 'and dangerous to the peace of Darer, is to be maintained because forty-three mil lions of people are not ashamed to say it N essential to their safety' We have outgrown a state of civili sation in which it is permissible for one nation to ensign another to a living death for its own peace and comfort. For her own sake we hope that Frani& will not make herself the organ of paten. shwa we Immoral and debasing. Is anybody living among us to-day who remembers the first HANDEL Centenary Celebration—or the ►undredth anniversary of HANDEL'S birth? The thing is possible. Lord LYNDHURST was then twelve years old. No doubt he remembers everything that ever happened in his time; bet thee, be was in Ameriea—(jut become the united States). Lord BROCKMAN was six; but he was in Scotland. Lord LARSCOWNI was four, and in the nursery, rather than Westminster Abbey. There may, however, be somebody of Lord LYNDHURST'S age who war pee sent on that grand occasion, when the extreme of musical and commemorative sublimity was supposed to have been reached. HANDEL was regarded as an English worthy, and his music as an English posses sion and privilege, at that day when humbled Eng land, as proud as ever, religiously made the most of every exclusive possession that she had. The honour of appreciating HANDEL was rightfully hers. The records of those times show how continental musicians, amateur and professional, boggled over the casi— no longer ventutiog to disparage the great composer, but trying to account for his greatness by ascribing to him " brilliancy," " learning," expertness in com position, and so forth ; while the educated classes in ear country were feeling as if some new department in their nature bad been discovered—not only a sixth sense, as has been said of music generally, but a new region of emotion. For a century MILTON had thrilled them with the cathedral music, echoed in his verse—the "pealing organ," the " full voiced "choir," the "service high and anthems clear," which "bring all heaven before our eyes;" and HANDEL'S genius had fulfilled all that the verse suggested. No one in Westminster Abbey daring those fear days of 1784 imagined that w hat they heard and saw could be exceeded; and if they had been asked what should be done, on the 'heath Cen tenary, for the memory of him whom Ring and gallon delighted to honour, they would have 'sad— ist there be • performance of the Messiah, Judas Macealeeus, and Israel is Pgypl, in Westminster Abbey, by a body of live hundred performers (if so =nye= ever again, be mustered),with the CRAMER of that day for leader, and the KING and Royal Family, and all the aristocracy, and such of the geateeler public as are worthy to listen, for audi ence. What would have been the amszement, and to some folks the consternation—if the picture of this day could have been unrolled before their eyes! Or, rather, if the facts could have been barely related ; for an accents vision would have left no room for alarm. What meat it have been to them to be told that any building could contain so many thousands ea the Crystal Palace; that any such orchestra aa that of this day could be collected, organised, and led ; and that an appreciative public of such an extent could crowd to listen! Eager as our grand fathers were to appropriate HANDEL u a true British treasure, they were as far as the continental people from conceiving of his magic u a popu la► blessing and birthright. In Westminster Abbey, when HANDEL'S Birth was commemorated, _, Royalty and aristocracy did the homage, and enjoyed the sweet solemaisation--admitting the middle clam to such room as was to spare. To-day, when commemorating HANDICL'S Death, we find a deve lopment of his music almost as marvellous and moving as its creation; and an audience ex panded in proportion. It is not for kings and peers and professional men alone to sit entranced under it. Millions of the commonalty may do so now ; and children, by tens of thousands, can minister to parents by their new art, and " bring all Heaven before their eyes," u only the favourite preacher or dreams of the dead bad ever done before. It is a great change to have been wrought in the spans between the birth and the death et a man. Let those who may meditate it in the Crystal Palace, under the invitation of thirds'', try to conceive how much higher posterity may have rises, through familiarity with high thoughts and emotions, before another century beings its testimony to the Muter of Sacred Son. Is the recent debate, which proved fatal to the Derby government, Mr. Disraeli explained the outbreak of the war by the observation that " Austria is a power which tskes no account of public opinion." This remark is daily receiving some new justifica tion. It was only the other day that we reported the el:aimless resolution of the Austrian government not to accept coupons of the national loan in payment of taxes in the Venetian provinces. This morning we have news of a more outrageous measure, the creation of paper money to the amount of 50,000,000 florins, with a forced currency, in the Lom bardo-Venetian kingdom. Of course it is impossible to place so much paper is cir culation in the territory held by the Aus trian armies. Its creation is designed for no other purpose than to lend the appearance of commercial transactions to the enormous rob beries which the goverment is proposing to perpetrate. In a letter to Lord Malmesbury, Sir James Hudson thus described, is January last, the condition of the people upon whom the double headed eagle is preying " Seven years ofbed wine crops, silk crops, and corn crops, with heavy taxa tion, have reduced the Northern Italians to skin and bone. Any traveller must have remarked the rugs of the peasant, the worn-out honors and carts, and the absence of gentlemen's equipages at the Corms of Milan, Breecis, Verona, and nologna. And the Sardinian government know as' *ell as I do that tf they ernes the Ticino they will find empty tree sunes, a famished people, and, comparatively speak ing, few resources." THE NEW MINISTRY.

All the oorrespondence from Germany points in that direction. A Berlin letter asserts that the Prussian General Badowitz stated to the Frankfort Diet that the line of the Mincio was necessary for the security of Germany, and that the Prussian govern ment has accordingly resolved to make a proposition simultaneously to France and Aastria.for a settle ment upon the basis of the Mincio being regarded as the Austrian frontier. France will certainly not listen to any each proposal ; and then the great ques tion is—what will Prussia do ? The Patrie anticipates that the conduct of Ba varia in allowing Austrian troops to cross her terri tory will give rise to very serious remonstrances on the part of France. General Espinosae was buried at Bordeaux on Friday. The funeral was conducted with great pomp. The father-in-law of the deceased was the chief mourner. The pall-bearers were the Prefect of the Gironde, General de Tartu, the military intendant; M.

The question of the hour in India was the dis content of the East India Company's European troops ►t being transfened, without re-enlistment, to the Queen's service. Lord Clyde left the bills upon the first intimation of the state of matters at Meerut, related in the last advioes, and immediately upon his snivel in the plains issued the following general order: The Commander-la-Chief has received a fall report of the disquiet that tae lately paraded the minds of some of the mm belonging to the Bengal Artillery and 2nd European Cavalry at Meerut. Hie Broelleney le happy to observe that the demeanour of the men towards their officers has been properly respectful. If a soldier has a complaint to make, or considers himself in any manner aggrieved, it la his right to make a proper and respectful repreeeetation through the usual channels to supe rior authority, and to ask for redress. But when this repre metation has been made, the soldier anodise at his duty, and he must wait with due deference, patience, and obedience, for the ultimata decision.

" There seems to be but one opinion," says the Bombay Times, " upon the order, which is regarded as judicious in the extreme. It is known that at Owalior, Berhampore, Allahabad, and Lahore, un mistakable symptoms of disaffection have appeared. Having lost their native army, it seems that the East India Company's reputation is to sustain it. last blow by the mutiny of their European one. the matter ought never to have been allowed to reach its present stage. The fact that it was thought necessary to take a legal opinion upon the validity of the transfer should have been sufficient reason to bare given way to the demand of the men to he re•enliated. Their pride was offended at the same time that they were deprived of the new bounty, to which they believed themselves entitled; and the wisdom of risking a mutiny in the army for the sake of five or ten lakhs of mew, may well be doubted. The last news we have is to the effect that Colonel Johnson, Assistant-Adjutant-General of Artillery, has been sent down from Meerut to Calcutta, to consult with the Governor• General, to advise, as we trust, the concession of the demand made by the men. A rumour prevails that her Majesty's 76th Regiment, sympathising with the grievance of the company's troor, intimated that they would not act against them ; and if the rumour be well founded, the go vernment must submit, for it has no alternative. We should be sorry, indeed, to see a trigger pulled in such a cause, and the wisest thing we can do is to offer a free discharge to every man who chooses to claim it." The Bombay Ga:ette says that insubordinate demonstrations have been made at Allahabed, Bey hampore, Lahore, and °wilier, the cavalry at the first-namcd station having gone so far as to fire in the air in the pretence of their otfioers. Hitherto no violence has been attempted by the malcontents, nor has it become necessary to employ forte for their ooercioo, and from the example of Meerut and of Lahore, where the failure of discipline was but mo mentary, it was believed that these dissatisfied men would give way to reason and return to their duty.

The little rebellion of the Rana of Nuggur Parkin, in the east of Sind, the origin of which is still very obscure— one report brings women into the case—has been suppressed with little trouble. Strongly posted on the hills behind the town and in the town itaelf, the " Coolies " made a spirited resistance for some time, till several of our men were wounds! —one of them mortally. They then broke and fled into the edjeoent ravines, which afforded ready but only temporary shelter. They were driven out of the hills by a com bined movement on the 4th instant, but the ar. reogement for the capture of their chiefs failed through a misapprehension of order.. Their camp was found prepared fora prolonged rteistanoe ; end it is believed that the inaurgent Rana had objects in view beyond the redress of local or individual grievances, though what they were even rumour does not venture to say. According to the latest ac counts, telegraphed by Colonel Evans, in command of the force, to the 12th inst., the district wee quite quiet, and the fugitive population returning to their homes. The leaders bad fled without followers, and are said to have crossed the Rahn of Cutch, and taken refuge in the Joudbpoor district of Nyur. Colonel Erase wee engaged in a strict inquiry into the mass of the revolt. H.M.'s 78th Highlanders has embarked for Eng land. The 61st Foot and the 14th Dragoons— which is to have a library from the European inha bitants of Bombay instead of a dinner—go to Poona and Kirkee respectively. The 84th Foot have already proceeded to Kurrachee. The Nawab of Furrackabad had been sentenced to be hanged, but it came out on the trial that before his surrender a letter had been written to him by Major Barrow, the special commissioner with the c►mp of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, in which he was invited to surrender, and that in this letter he was told that pardon had been ex. tended to all who had not personally committed the murder of British subjects, and that if he had not personally committed the murder of British subjects, he might surrender without apprehension. Oa the receipt of this letter he immediately surrendered. He now claims the fulfilment of the promise of pardon, being found guilty, not of having personally committed the murder of English subjects, but of having been an accessory before the fact. The Governor-General in Council entirely condemns and disavows the act of Major Barrow, in making a promise contrary to the royal proclamation, and con trary to the express order of the government, except. Wig the prisoner from all benefit of pardon. " But," says an order in council, His Excellency in Council will not miler it to be said that the prisoner, having been induced to our render on the promise of • British officer in Major Barrow's position, has, in consequence of that we reader bean put to death for a crime of lees degree than that which was designated by the offieer as •lane Tendering him liable to punishment. The Governor- General in Council has, therefore, resolved to for bear from carrying out the sentence of the coast on Tufo:nil Hosein, on the condition that he shall immediately quit the Stith& territory for ever. If he accepts this condition, he will be conveyed to the frontier as • convict under a military guard, and there set at liberty. If be refuse the condition, or if having accepted it, be doll break it, or attempt to break it, now, or at any future time, the capital sentence prompt:mood upon him will be carried out."
