ACCORDING to the Times, our new Govern- meat is so little mindful of the honour of Eng land, that it chooses the very moment of increas ing danger to diminish the preparations fur national defence, and inaugurate a system of ill-timed economy. Oar insurance against invasion is to be allowed to drop, ns al expenditure is to be retrenched, the courts made to raise up • fleet sufficient for the defence of our shores are to cease. 'lhis ia the doing of the Cti sxcELLOR of the Excitant' us. Mr. GI.AD *TONE does not believe in the possibility of • war; he will not encounter the odium of necessary taxation ; he has no sympathy with the manly instincts of the country ; and in • great crisis he condemns us to weakness and obseutity. Stich iethe story, which, we will undertake to say, surprised alt who read it yesterday. No one, we are sure, was prepared to learn that Mr.GLADSTONE was so powerful as to overrule the whole Cabinet in a matter engrave as the defence of the country. Lord sad Lard JOIIN RteSELL know that if you tough the navy you touch the apple of the Englishman's eye, and is it likely that they would commence their administration by asking Mr. GLAD• ATONI how much safety tie could stf.ird to let the nation enjoy ? Then there are able administrators in the Gbivernment—the Duke of Soneasrr at the Admiralty, sad Mr. SIDNRY Hausa:at at the War office, and we aze invited to suppose that they, too, are ready to acquiesce in the discontinuance of our naval preparations. Whit is the ground of there disquieting state ments ? They have no ground whatever. The single tangible fact alleged—" the diminished sell ? city in the Dockyardv," by which, we presume, is meant the discontinuance of the practice of working over-hoar, commenced a few months since—has taken place in consequence of orders issued by the great " reconstructor " of the British nary, Sir 'mix Whether io the prospect of seeing his administration overhauled by unfriendly hands the late First Lord began toaet his house in order we can- not sty, but one of his lost acts was to diminish the activity in our dockyard., which he would hardly hare done bad he not beta satisfied that a portion of it well unnecessary and excessive. let the late Board of Admiralty, however, answer for itself. The fact moat material, now that the question is whether we have an Administration likely to look to the defences of the country, is that the present Govern ment has neither ordered nor suggested reductions of any kind in the establishments connected with the defame* of the country. A very little inquiry, which it wee surely worth while to make, would have sufficed to save our contemporary from mislead ing the vast public which places implicit confidence in its statements. The new Board of Admiralty has not got into full work yet; indeed, it is not yet com. pletely constituted. Wbeo, however, it is fairly in operation we shall not be at all surprised, eonsi. deriog the lavish manner in which business has been done of late in Whitehall, a it find many things to modify in the arrangements of its predecessors. Eagrr and enormous expenditure does not always imply coere•pondiag efficiency, and a wise liberality in one direction may be met by equally wise curtail meat in another. It is nor, linweeer, by com pering petty and partial details, but by watching results, that we shall form • right estimate of the merits of the new naval administra tion. If it gives us good ships and plenty of them —if it makes the service attractive to seamen, and entrusts the Meet to good officers, the public will leave it to take its own way of going about the business. The new Administration, like all that hare gone before it, has its weak side ; but neither its general composition , ace the character of its chiefs can be said to encourage the charge that it is about to direst the country of necessary means of defence. Lord PALmettsrox is not the man to permit England to descend to no level of Spain or Naples; and Lord Jong Russet'. tell, the City that the nonentity of England which he will maintain must be honourable." We may be certain, without the superadded assurances of Mr. GLAbsTON L, that when these statesmen moire to attain the ends they will not neglect the means. To a future generation of Englishmen it will seem inconceivable that, much an we sympathised, se a people, with the great Italian cause, we did not more deeply appreciate the mighty mo ments in which we now live. We have still to learn whether the war, which is now Italian only, is destined to stretch throughout Central Europe. Prussia has oracularly threatened to lead the Gerugn,.... Confederation into war, and Russia has likewi,oe threatened to lead her &Myosins* races against Germany. Civilis►tioe, at any rate, has brought us to this. that wars, actual or impending, which used to be dynastic, have now become national. Ten years ago all our European confederacies were confederacies of kings against peoples—now they are coutederaci-s of nations rising in defence of nations. This at a,l eschis is a great fact in the general growth of popular freedom, and in the general retrogression of kingly power. Hut with regard to the Prussian Court, we believe that that Government is nue a hat it has shown itself in every crisis since the sr of the Great 1 . 1410Ei:11 C. DUO.. city, faint-beartedners, and irresolution have invari ably narked its Filmy in important junctures. beyond proportion to the natural weight of ita councils in the government of Europe. It is quite sufficient to revert to the great French war, in order to appreciate the inherent preponderance of French over Austrian sympashiee at Berlin. There never was a danger surrounding Austria to which Pruseia cLd not :vok for tLe acquisition of political capital. Uniting with Russia and Austria in 1792, under the ' Treaty of Pilnitz, Prussia fell away three years afterwards from the cause of the Corservative Power., and seceded to the French alliance under the Treaty of Bade, in 1795. Thenceforth a neutral Power, she calmly taw Austria rained sucomeively in the peace of Campo Formic) in 1797, in the peace of Luneville in 1801, and in the peace of Freiburg in 1805. In many respects the present moment strikingly reminds as of the interval between the fall of Ulm and the battle of Austerlitz, which ter minated in the above -mentioned peace of 1806. Ulm was the Magenta of the First NtroteoN, and the long march which 'dirtied him from the source of the Danube to the :tustrian capital and the plains of Moravia has now in some respects its parallel in the march of. the Allies from Milan to the frontier of Veneti a . During the march that succeeded the fall of IL lm, Prussia was as active in vacillating demon atrationa as she is now. She sent II ‘euet rrz, on the eve of Austerlitz, to the camp of both armies. The story is variously told ; but it is acknowledged that the mission of the Prussian Minister was in substance to congratulate the victor- As if to complete the parallel, a mysterious duality now hangs over the person of the present Prussian ambassador at Vienna. It was first asserted that the envoy of Prussia at that Court had left the Austrian capital with Count RECIMERG fur Verona. We were then informed by a telegram, in a de signedly circumstantial contradiction of the rumour, that Count PotarCLES was about to arrive in Paris. As it happened that the Cunt was the Prus sian representative at Paris, Baron Wasters hold ing the tame post at Vienna, the original statement remained unessailed ; and between the two puppets, PM:REALES and WE ETHER, Prussia may be playing over again the old game of ILteowliz. Let either party be decisively beaten, and then no doubt Prussian policy will be restored to its former inno cence, and lose all its ambiguity. While, however, the alleged anti•Galliciem of Germany, if it be general, is far from being unani mous, the intelligence of almost every day lessens public sympathy even in that country foe Austria. Daily some fresh atrocity, emanating more or less directly from the Austrians, is brought to light. It wee but just now that we read with indignation of the barbarous murder of an Italian peasant by an Aus trian Field Marshal, in the circular of M. DE CA VOCE. We now find that the Seim Guards, which had left Itome and had reached Perugia, have copied the example of Marshal URBAN, and have there butchered men, women, and children with izdiscrinsinate bar barity. This diabolical inspiration seems to be the mantle which most naturally falls upon the Oilmen guards of Catholic and Apostolic thrones. From all that we learn, there appears to have been no prove cition for this fresh massacre; nothing but an inherent instinct of the devilish, and an innate lust of murder. These things all hasten the end ; and even the blood shed in assassination, as well as the blood nobly poured out in battle, tends to the emanci pation of Italy. No doubt some of thesestatemento are read with incredulity to the north of the Alpe• Aestrian officer., who are gentlemen at Vienna and at Prague, are assassins at Milan and Verona. This dual existence strikes one, at first sight, as eons► what strange; but the evidence of the facts is in contestable. Unless we are greatly mistaken, Ger many is beginning to see through the veil which its rulers have so indiudrionsly woven. The German press, in spite of the censorship. under which it languishes, has lately adopted a course which in dicates it.s conviction that sympathy with a war of I liberation must be universal. Public opinion there manifests every desire to terminate a vicious system of Italian government, compounded of all the cruel ties of military domination, and of all the artifices of s piritual tyranny. Austria may retain her own military foram, and use them in undiminished num. bers ; bat this growing conviction, which appears to be now stealing even over Germany, tends directly to cat away all the sympathies which constitute her moral support in Europe.

IIXPRESB FROM FARM (MOM 0111 OWN PARIS, nuns: Immo. The Moniteur at length gives an official form to the assertion, already sedulously propagated by all the semi-official organs, that the dictatorship of various Italian states offered to, and accepted by, the King of Sardinia is merely temporary, and entirely without prejudice to the ultimate destination of those provinces. This paragraph is no doubt pub 'idled in pursuance of the resolution of the French government, which was ventilated in London two days ago in that anomalous language upon which I have before remarked, which, assuming it to be possible that a question may be partially resolved, and at the same time wholly reserved, said it was " decided that Tuscany should not be annexed to Piedmont," and yet that no decision would be come to about the settlement of Italy before the war was over. It is necessary for the sake of historical accuracy to repeat that this is not the view which has hitherto been taken in Piedmont. The King of Sardinia has both by acts and words accepted not the provisional dictatorship but the absolute sovereignty of Lombardy. This acceptance has been repeatedly recorded in the official organ of Turin, and the Piedmontese journals, anticipating the ob jection that half.a-dosen municipal councillors of Milan (elected, by the way, under the tolerance of the Emperor of Austria) were incompetent to change the sovereignty of the country, fall back upon the plebiscite of 1848 for that sanction of the Milanese people which would be otherwise wanting to the arrangement. Nevertheless it will be difficult now for the Turin newspapers to oontradiot the Moniteur. It is very possible that the King of Sardinia, pressed by diplomatic considerations, may have been a consenting party to the insertion of the paragraph which appears to-day. Indeed, it seems probable enough that the " decision" awkwardly alluded to in the London telegr►m, alluded to the termination of a conflict which had been going on for some time between the allied sovereigns. The Freese, noticing a new version of the bases of a proposal for peace attributed to Prussia— namely, that Lombardy should be annexed to Pied mont, Venice declared a free state, Modena, Parma, and Tuscany restored to their legitimate sovereigns, and that the quadrangle of fortresses, instead of belonging exclusively to Austria, should form part of the confederated states of Germany, says that this scheme is not more acceptable than the one suggested yesterday, because it is still inconsistent with the French programme that "Italy was to be freed to the Adriatic." I cannot agree with the Press.. There would, I submit, be nothing inconsistent with the Emperor's programme in accepting such a proposal. The Press. asks whether the Italians living in the quadri . lateral are not as much billions as those in other parts of Italy ? Assuming that they are, it does not follow that they might not be essentially as free, as members of the Germanic confederation, es they could reasonably expect to be under any other combination that could be devised. For my own part, I should like to see Victor Emmenuel king of the whole of Northern Italy; but since the difficul ties in the way of this seem to be so great that his intimate ally, the French Emperor, is constrained to frown upon the plan—since Italian unity is by almost common consent looked upon as impractica ble, it would surely be a pity, if the peace of the world depended upon it, that any too obstinate adherence to the rigid letter of a picturesque programme of the war should stand in the way of a settlement which would effectually deliver the whole of Italy from Austrian domination, and give her people immense chances of renovation. I cannot think that the French Emperor would be held justified in refining such propositions; but I greatly doubt the correct ness of the indepersdaere's information when it states that Prussia is prepared to bring them forward. Aus tria is, I fear, not yet sufficiently humiliated to accede to them. And yet if she were well-advised, she must see that she could not do better. To tarn her out of Lombardy is only a work of time, and the French and Sardinian armies will surely do it before long. It is shocking to think that thousands of human lives must be thrown away merely to prove that Austria will not give anything up without fighting. News from Algeria, given by the Patrie, states that troops are fast quitting the colony, and that a corps d'armee of 40,000 men, composed in part of regiments now in Africa, is shortly expected in the ; Adriatic. The Bourse opened with considerable animation, on the strength of the note in the Moniteur explana tory of King Victor Emmannel's dictatorship in the Italian States. The Rent. rose to 62fr. 25c. for cash and account, but at half-past 2 very large sales made by the parquet brought it down to 61fr. 00c. and 61fr. 76c., being a rise of 10c. for money, and exactly yesterday's price for time. Mobilier rose 3fr. 73e. Railways left off almost without change. The important prosecution againt the coutissiers of the Bourse was brought to a close to-day. They were every one of them sentenced to the minimum of the title fixed by law for doing broker's business without belonging to the body—viz., 10,600 fr. There was, I apprehend, no doubt about the law which the Court of Correctional Polioe was called upon to administer. It is a case of dura lex red lee. Many of the traverser,, respectable and wealthy men, have done openly and with impunity, for the last quarter of a centuty, the very thing for which they are now prosecuted. It was abundantly proved at the trial that they had habitually acted u agents for the licensed brokeri who moved the public pro- secutor against them. They appeal, as a matter of course, and they continue their affairs at the Bonne as if nothing had happened. It is quite plain that some administrative or legislative change must be made, for the regular corporation of stockbrokers is confessedly too limited to transact the public busi , nese. The general opinion is that they have been foolishly making war upon their best customers, who will now be driven to destroy their monopoly. THE PAPAL STATES. Cardinal Mileu has lamed the following protest from Ferran: The Bologna Gaulle of the 12th, No. 132, in relating the deplorable events who, h took pace there on that day against the legitimate government of the Holy Father, omits sub 'tutted facts which it is my duty to slate. The Cardinal Legate was not induced to leave, being suddenly depnv.d of a rudiciant garrison, by the mere taking down of the Pontifical mime, nor by his being indirectly 'equated to take his departure, so may be proved by a docu ment he preserves ; tut, on the corm-sty, be ineieted upon hewing from the originators of the new cider of things what was the nature of the movement. And It wan only la consequence of this demand that a commiesioo of three Bolognese presented neat to tell hint (oven before the Municipal Council wee convoked to del Lents) that the people wanted the d elatorehip of King Victor Emmanuel, and wished to join in the war. Such pretenrions are evi- dently az.d dierunricalli incempetible with the rights of sovereignty of any independent prince, end much more with those of the Supreme Pontiff, end in the present case they are also cutlery to the neutrality of the Sovereign Pontiff in the present war—a neurality declared sod accepted. Hence the Cardinal Legate solemnly protested against such violence in arm and eerious terms, and with the moat ample declare- Sone fur securing the tamed rights of the Holy See, as the respectable persons invited to ►e present may attest.

PION ODE lIPECILL 0011118PONDIET.) REZZATO, ON THE ROAD TO DINZEIII4O, Babudgy, Tom 18. I am now on that beautiful road which runs from Brescia towards the enchanted lake of Garda, at the south extremity of which rises the promontory of Sermione. A little to the north, the Roman ruins which have long passed as the " Villa of Catollus," may be seen on the far horizon. Farther to the south of the little island is the castle of Sermione. Sermione and the smiling burg of Desenzano are distinctly seen on the rise of a promontory neer Rezzato, together with the whole of the picturesque borders of the lake, commonly called the Riviera of Garda; Gerdone and the VillaLeochi on the left bank; Bardolino is on the opposite aide, with the strong square castle of Rive at the extreme end of the lake. It is such an entrancing view u one can only see in this magnifica:it country. The day before yester day, scarcely five miles from the village of Rezzato, on the very road which from Brescia leads to Looato, General Garibaldi had to sustain a rather serious engagement with the enemy. Without the energy which distinguishes his character, and without the courage of his Coo ciatori delle Alpi, the gallant general would have incurred a really serious danger. You may judge by the simple narrative of the facts I am going to relate. On the evening of Wednesday last General Cialdini's division had encamped at a little village four miles from Reticle, on the read which leads to Bergamo. On the same evening Garibaldi received orders to move carefully from Santa Eufemia in the direction of Deeenzano, as soon asthe day was dawn ing. He started at three o'clock a.m. to exe cute the movement according to the instruc tions he had received. The general had not proceeded far when he found the Austrians had destroyed the bridge of San Marco, which crosses the Chime, near Ciliverghe. He was there fore obliged to send Colonel Medici's regiment, a battalion of Genoese sharpshooters, and a field bat tery, to Tre Ponti in order to protect his pioneers, who were directed to repair the bridge. At the same time he sent his 3rd regiment to Ciliverghe and the first one to Virle, a small hamlet on the Naviglio. On the , preceding evening two Austrian divisions had occupied Caetanedols, and as soon as they were made aware of Garibaldi's move they left the village with the intention of attacking him on the road which leads from the last-mentioned place to Ciliverghe and Tre Ponti. The ground the Austrians had to march over is covered with shrubs and hedges, intersected here and there by canals and ditches which can easily screen the movements of an assaulting army. Protected by the nature of the ground, the enemy was able to open its fire on our advanced posts of Virle at a distance of 20 paces. The attack of the Austrians was so sudden that Colonel Cum had scarcely the time to deploy the whole of his regiment, and to charge the enemy at once. This charge was so im petuous that the first columns of the Austrians were soon compelled to fall back on Castanedola. Whilst the fight was going on General Garibaldi, seeing the battery placed near the bridge of San Marco was in danger, sends the second bat titian of the 3rd Regiment, which happily succeeded in averting the imminent danger. The assaulting columns of the enemy, thus repulsed, instead of re treating towards Castanedola, bent a little to the right, with the object of surrounding a battalion of the Ist Regiment which was under the command el Major Lipari, and which they thought had advanced too far to be helped. Help, however, was near, for Captain Croce, seeing the danger of his com rade, had moved quickly from Ciliverghe with three companies of the 3rd Regiment, and turning the enemy's left wing, succeeded in forcing it to retire. Two of the enemy's brigades were, however, hasteniug to the scene of action ; and Lipari's and Croce 's men were thus in great danger of being sur rounded. Nevertheless they still held their ground against superior force, and after repulsing six times the enemy's attacks they succeeded in routing the Austrians, taking one after another the positions of Ca di Monte, Contuda di Mezzo, Rezzato, and bluing'. Whilst the gallant Caccia tori del le Alpi were rejoicing at their suc cess, the whole of the enemy's reserve, screened by the hedges, fell upon them and surrounded the last-conquered position of !slicing. They would have been certainly lost had not Colo nel Cceenz harangued his men, telling them that only the bayonet could clear the way. This was soon done • and after a fierce hand-to hand straggle the ro ad was opened, and they , were able to concentrate on Rezzato. Of course it was not a victory ; bat it was an able retreat when one considers that the whole of Garibaldi's forces con sisted only of eleven companies, with a field battery, and that they were obliged to oppose about 14,000 Austrians for a period of eight hours. There is no doubt that Captain Crone's able movement on the enemy's left wing compelled the Aus trians to bend in that direction, and leave room for the retreat of Garibaldi's first regi ment. The concentrating movement of our Cacciatori delle Alpi had just been accomplished, when General Cialdini came from Santa Eufemia to their support. The Austrians, however, did not choose to resume the offensive, but retired in good order to Castanedola. On the following night, how ever, they abandoned not only this last-named vil lage, but also Montechiaro and Castiglione, and fell back on Guidizzuolo and Cerlonzo, in order to reach their strong positions of the Mincio at Goito and Valleggio. The losses sustained by Garibaldi's division were rather heavy: He had 200 men put hors de combat, amongst whom were seven officers. Major Brouzetti, from Mantas, and Count Grode. nigo, the representative of the illustrious Ve netian family , of this name, lost their lives whilst leading their men to the assault. One of Garibaldi's aides-de-camp had his horse killed while he was speaking with the general. The King's head-quarters are still at Brescia, but I have reason to believe they will be removed here, or further to the front, by to-morrow. Yon see by that how we are gaining ground every day ; and I doubt much if the Austrians will seriously oppose our march till we arrive on the Mincio. This, I hope, will be done by Tuesday or Wednesday next, when you will be carefully informed by me of what has happened.
