WI fear it will he poor consolation to the mer ebsura who have been broken and the fsmilise who basekeen beggared by the panic which has raged since Wednesday morning to learn that they have beta the victims of a stupendous imposture, and that after all there was no reason why they should be ruined. If terrifying ink-statements are to supply the p:ace of reason in the formation of public opinion, and men's estates are to be knocked down by the thousand, merely to prove that one despot is cle►ner handed than another, we can only stet piously protest against such a mode of political cuitroversy. No such treaties exist as the Tinits described yea torte!. It is sot trop that " Ramis his bound her •• self in the ssent of France being at war with Austria, to assist France by the co-operation of her f.eta in the Baltic and the Nlediterransins r it is not true that any treaty wares " that, in are •• Austria should iovade Sardinia, Russia shall • &dare war @gaunt her "Ride fifteen days of her violation of the Puralmontees sod."

O• the Po. Many Foglishmen, we suspect, would bear with intense esti/faction that •• Ramis had engaged to daa.ars war against Austria within fifteen days of • her ,iolatioo of the Piedmontex soil ;" but, unfor tcnately. it I. Dot true. The execution or agreement to coaclade a treaty, lost signed between France and Russia, below' to the same elms of diplomatic document' as that which Ragland signed with Austria at an early period of the Crimean war. That compact, it may be remembered, teak effect, became Austria at no time tee gniied that the conditions upon which it was to become operative had come into existence. The contingency epos which the present agreement is calc•ilated i■ remote. It is not directed against F.oglaad. bat is kneaded to ensure the axtrality of the rest of lierepta while Frame and Austria fight is Italy. Its aim is to circumscribe like horrors and calamities of war by confining hostilities to their origleal theatre, between the Alps and the Mediterranean. The eiredwietances out of which this convention baa green are so notorious that we need only briefly retell them to show that its conclusion we. what every intelligent observer might and did eared, after the language which Lard Cabinet has held on diplomatic inter- IMMO and in Parliament for the lest six months. When Lord MALXP,TIVRY and his colleagues, for reasons beat known to themselves, but certainly neither sought nor found in the public opinion of the Country, determined to depart from thins prin ciples of Italian policy which were asserted in the name of England at the Congress of Paris, the only course they could decently follow was one of strict neutrality. Instead of taking that course they affected to approach the grave difficulties of the Italian question, when they revived last January, with a par.. offsets air, and to " bold the balance between "Sardinia and Austria," as they termed it, with philosophical indifference, as if England had never had an Italian policy. This mock impartiality, the thin veil of a riculade, deceived none of the partie s interested. Although the thoroughly Austrian sym pathies of the Government became known to the people of this country ooly at the close of the session, and have since had justice done them upon every basun r , they were known to our neighbours months ago. In February last an overture made by Lord MALMISbCII,Y to the Court of Petards was disclosed, perhaps imprudently, to that of Ramis, and by it to the French EMPEROR, and became the exciting Cl4/41 of the Convention now everywhere talked of. The Emperor of the FRENCH saw the forces of Ger many mustering in his front, and he knew that in this Italian affair he could not reckon upon the cen trality of the DICIIBT Government, so he sought a counterpoise elsewhere. It was well known that we should not join in a war for the libera tion of Italy; it was not known that under sonic pretence of preserving the balance of power the English people would not be juggied into interference on the other side. This ids the cause of the Convention between Ramis end Franoe—the misrepresentation of English senti ment and the misdirection of English 'newer by the Ministers of the Crown- Lord MALMEABCILT is as mach the author of the Convention as if his name had been affixed to the test of the document. Lot although Ministers have much to answer for in urging the two greatest lowers of the Continent into an alliance. we seed not exaggerate the import of the went. Ramis has undertaken to place an army of observation en the frontiers of Austria and Ger many. She is willing to remain a stranger to the war between France and Austria, provided other Power will do the same ; but she will not permit it to be settled either by diplomatic or military inter vention of third Powers without having a voice in the matter. This is how she vindicates her own politicos ; this was why she proposed a Coverer; this is why she now signs a Convention. we see nothing to appland —still lees for us in our position to imitate-1a ►ee mum, but nevertheless she only does what or expects of a great Continental Power. Bo•, as tar as we are concerned, the nerimose pubic valor which has overtakes the Government in its inure, and enjoined on it the Witten an trality, has takaw away the ',pliability of the Convention. The foolish little States st Southern Germany—winh, lens wise than Prune, gather IkttUrd Aastrin lad swell ►et vanity—may tate warning 110 glad their own business, sto. enjoying . their elm nationality, let the Italians ban 'chance of wi:iabg theirs. But wv, bound to nentriffty, are 1 1 not osinemmed in its provisions. We are told that this compact is directed against us. But it is impossible to suppirse thai Amnia and France would choose to attack our interests at a time whin they had all the forces of Austria, and, under or main contingencies, those of Germany also, to dial with. As long as we understand our interests, theme continental wars are an additional guarantee that our interests will be respected. There is no power so great, no anion of powers so mighty, as not to dread our active enmity. Every State will try to secure our good-will while we remain strong and neutral. Every friend will repay us with grati tude ala EduWASZENBERG, and every enemy with hatred if we go to war. This Franco-Hessian alliance is at present partial and imperfect. What it will beoon.e for us lies mainly in ourselves to choose. We may attenuate and limit, or we may consolidate and enlarge it without bound, until it becomes a veritable danger. This is what some among us are doing ; provoking us to quarrel with France, and offer a spectacle which would severely tempt the most virtuous Russian sovereign. Austria, baffled on the Ticino, is in our midst, with her old arty, to cheat, confuse and madden the unsuspecting. Surely she may be satisfied with her triumph. The illusions of which so many of os have been for forty-eight hours the dupes are worth more to her than a battle won in Piedmont. The poisonous venom which she has poured into the English mind will work long after her falsehoods have been exposed and her schemes laid bars. :De Court. WINDSOR, Aran. 28.

THE IMES'S, FRIDAY EVEN 139, APRIL 29, LATEST INTIILLIGENCE. 41 ALLEGED INVASION OP PIEbMO] The doubts which we enplaned yesterday evening as to the correctness of the statemeat that the Ticino had teen crossed by the Austrians. were well founded. We learn by a telegram from Turin that up to last evening no such movement bad taken place. THE MEDIATION OF ENGLAND. The Conatitutionnel of to-day (as we learn by a telegram from Mr. Renter) publishes a note signed by its principal editor, A. Renee, which speaks of the proposed mediation of England, and says:— "We know not whether the assertion of the Times that France has refused this mediation be correct. It will be observed, that the mediation ocsoerns • great many powers, that it would be somewhat irregular, and that, being made by England aloe., it would be a species of affront to Prumia and Russia. The question of the day is of too stormy a nature to be treated effec tually by • semi-official plenipotentiary and an Austrian miaister." THE ALLEGED TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND FRANCE. The following are the exact terms in which the Gazette Nationale of Berlin announced the conclu sion of a treaty between Russia and Franoe : The position of Russia in the existing complica tions becomes more and more defined. The news is eonfirmed from various quarters that a treaty of alli ance offensive and defensive has been concluded be tween Russia and France. We have every reason to believe that this intelligence is perfectly correct, and we learn that this alliance was contained on Friday the 22nd. Russia, in consequence, will at once 'mobilise four corp., crarmee, two of which will be sent to the Austrian frontier, and the others towards the frontiers of Prussia." The IndApe:donee Belge publishes particulars of the alleged " treaty" Agreeing with these which we have received, and which are contained in our lead ing article columns. The Horsing Herald has reason to know that the Russian Prime Minister has given our government the strongest assurances " that no agreement has been entered into that can in any way affect the interests of this oountry." The same journal, how ever, has received a telegraphic despatch " from Turkey," to the effect that a Russian army of 60,000 men have creased the Dneiper, " thereby threaten ing the Gallician frontier of Austria." The Post says.—" There is still, we rejoice to way, a hope of peace. And our joy is the mon sincere because, if that hope be realised, it will be only on such terms as are likely to secure the pro gram and prosperity of Italy. The last Eoglish offer of mediation is under the serious consideration of the Emperor of the French ; and if the Austrians refrain from advancing, we are informed that a pacific settlement may yet be made." SARDINIAN. REPLY TO THE AUSTRIAN ULTIMATUM. The following is a mammary of the reply made by Coast Cavour to the ultimatum presented by Count Bea : " The Austrian government is not ignorant of the fact that the negotiations led to a proposition of • general disarmament, drawn up by England, and accepted by France, Rugs, and Prima'. Sardinia, actuated by a spirit of conciliation, adhered to this proposition unreservedly, and without arriere and Austria can neither be ignorant of the propo sition of England, await. acceptance by Sardinia. " The Sardinian government has nothing to add, in order to make knows its intentions as regards the difficulties which oppose the meeting of a con gress. The conduct of Sardinia in this matter has been appreciated by all Europe. " Whatever may be the future consequences the entire responsibility will fall upon Austria, who was the first to arm—who has rejected a proposition accepted by all the powers—and substituted for it a menacing summons." THE REVOLUTION LN TUSCANY AND THE DUCHIEt3. Mr. Renter hes received the followitig telegram : PARIS, FRIDAY, Aram 29. The Montleur of this morning contains the fol lowing telegrams: " FLORENCE, Aran. 27. - - " The Grand Duke of Tuscany relied together the Diplomatic Corps to-day, and announced to them that having charged the Marquis Lajatioci with the form►tion of a new Cabinet, that nobleman and his friends bad demanded the Duke's abdication, and that not wishing to abdicate, and being deserted by his troop., he had resolved upon quitting Tuscany with his family. During the whole day the soldiers and the populace have been running about the town, singing patriotic airs and shouting, Viva !" Viva Francis!' bat public order has not been disturbed. This even , lag, at 6 o'clock, the Grand Duke left for Bologna, attended by an escort of honour. The provisional government is temporarily composed of MM. Per massi, Sanzini, and Malenchini. General Ullos, who will take command of the troops, is expected 1 to-morrow. "GENOA. Aran. 27, "News from Sprzzia states that disasters have broken out in the Duchies. At Maass the political prisoners have been set free. Telegraphic com munication is interrupted between Carrara and Mo dena." AUSTRIA. The following telegram was received at Mr. Reuter's office this morning : VI ENNA, FRIDAY, 9 s.s. The official Oestereichische Correepowaswe of this day publishes an article detailing all the fact. by which the " machinations" of the Piedmont... governmetit, supported by France, have been unveiled. The Correspondenz then goes on to com municate the fact of the departure of the Grand Doke of Tuscany for Bologna, his army laving fra ternMed with the revolutionists. The article also states that the population of Musa and Curare has revolted and established a provisional government. In conclusion the article rye, that Austria must therefore draw the sword in order to maintain Earo pean order. TILE BOMBAY MAILS. (sir user= 711.ZOIRAPN.)

Renter's Ace : Bilt:.lN, TIEVIISDIT. Aram 28. In the sitting of tie ChoiMber of Deputies to-dsy the Minister for Foreign Affairs made a statement on the subject of the present political crisis. The following is a summary : " Resent are very threatening. The differences between Arabia on the one aide, and Sar dinia and France on the other, have reached a point at which the outbreak of war may be momen tarily expected. England has made the last endeavour at mediation, but the hope of her success is extremely small. In this politica of uncertainty no communication of any inter mediate measures, which either of the opposing parties may have taken, has come to the knowledge of government. The placing of three corps dared* of the Prussian army on a war footing and in readi ness for war has also been resolved upon by the Federal That. Besides our own safety, we must keep in view the safety of Germany, the more so bestow another great German power is on the brink of war. But the present condition of warlike pre paration, which the Federal Diet has instituted, is purely of the same nature as the confederation itself, that is to say essentially defensive, and with this object Primal', in concert with her German federal associates, is armed on all sides. Above all things, she adheres to the principle that the interest of Ger many is also the interest of Prussia." WAR MOVEMENTS. The deputure of the Emperor Napoleon, which had been spoken of for yesterday, has, it appears, been postponed, and, it is probable, will not take place for some days. His Majesty will, it is said, first proceed to Lyons, and will not definitively join the army until about the end of the first week in May. The Empress, it is believed, will accompany the Emperor as far as Lyons, and on her return will take up her residence, with the Prince Imperial, at Sr. Cloud. The Voßigours of the Guard left Paris yesterday morning. The regiment on marching through the Rue de Riveli, accompanied by a consider able crowd, halted before the Tuileries, where the Emperor, surrounded by several of the members of his household, stood at one of the windows on the ground floor of the Pa villon Marean. The flag of the regiment was held up to his Majesty, who kissed it amidst the loud and enthusiastic shouts of Viva l'Empereur !" " Vive Vitali. ! " from the troops and the large crowd of spectators. The same cries were repeated as the regiment marched on, the Emperor saying to the soldiers, As remit-, et a bientot. At a later hour, about half-pest twelve, the Empress and Prince Imperial, Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde, joined his Majesty at the window, and were loudly cheered by the crowd. Her Majesty wore a plain helmet and shawl and was seen," says a Paris cotemporary, several times putting her handker chief to her eyes." The three active battalions of the gth regiment arrived in Paris on Wednesday from Rennes, and left for the forts of Ronny and Noisy. The 4th squadron of the baggage train, which was at Vin cennes, also entered Paris on Wednesday. The Marseilles journals give notice that the open ing to the public of the railway to Toulon, which had been Axed for the 3rd of May, has been postponed. The journals add that under existing circumstances it is natural that the railway should be reserved for the use of the state. The .Ifoneteur of this morning also says :—" A council was held yesterday, under the presidency of the Emperor, at which the Empress, the Princes Jerome and Napoleon, the Ministers and the Praia. dente of the Senate, the Corps Legislatif, and the Council of State were present." A Trieste telegram received this morning by Mr. Renter says :—" An announcement of the managers of the Southern Railway states that the stoppage of goods traffic still continues, and especially that the carriage of goods from the north southwards will not for a considerable time be undertaken. A pro hibition against the exportation of corn is im.. minent." A telegraphic despatch from a high personage at Turin states that on Wednesday afternoon 8,000 French troops had arrived at Aleseandria, and that a portion of them was expected to go of immedi ately to Turin. The Imedipendente of Turin states that 4,000 Austrians have arrived at Ancona, to reinforce the garrison, which wee 4,000 strong. " Since the return of the Archduke Albert; says a Vienna letter of the 24th, in the Cologne (butte, " sittings of the council of war have been held daily, the Emperor presiding. It is said that the eventual formation of the army of the Rhine, of which the Archduke Albert would take the command, is the principal object of the deliberations of the council. This army would, report says, be composed of from 80,000 to 100,000 men, the wart being ander Count Clam Galles, and the infantry under Baron de llegenfeld." A letter from Genoa of the 24th, written before the arrival of the French troops, aye : The military measures adopted loaf evening by our govern ment prove that it intends to meet the enemy, The last core of riflemen stationed at St. Pietro d'Arena and the 7th awl Bth Regiments have received orde.• to leave. The Rifle men of the Alpe also have two Doneness ready to enter 04 a campaign.

(11011 °US OWN PAM, TIIVISDAT Evimmo._ False news is flying aboat likewildfre, and it is dif knit indeed to know what to believe. It is univer sally admitted this evening thatthe news telegraphed from Berne with so much particularity of the Aus trian army having crossed the Ticino in great num bers 11113 untrue. The only foundation for the story appears to be that a few picquets did cross in order to surrey the ground, and that some of them passed a night at Oarless. On the other hand the news of the revolution in Tawny, though coming likewise in the first instance front Berne, is said to be confirmed, and is sooepted by the evening papers as true. Now as to the aooeptation both by France and Austria of the list English project of mediation which is at this mo ment making • tremendous sensation here, you will doubtless have had mach telegraphic infor mation before this letter reaches you. It is im portant to observe that the most favourable despatch from Austria only says that she has consented to postpone the declaration of war for a day or two. This, alone, is undoubtedly a highly important fact, for every hour lost by Austria diminishes her chance of a first success, and gives time for the French legions to poor into Piedmont. But with regard to the acceptance of France, I am thoroughly persuaded that it will turn out to be a delusion. I learn from a very good source that France having at beat bat promised to take the Maseion-house proposal " into consideration," suggests two sine gee non conditions for her consent :—l. That Baron Kellerberg, who took the Austrian ultimatum to Turin, shall be sent to that city to withdraw it; and, 2. That England shall undertake by force of arms if necessary to compel Austria to accept Lord Malmesbury's four points, I have, I think, stated enough to show that the acceptance ander these conditions amounts to nothing. The first condition will in all probability be rejected by Austria, but the second condition would drag England into the war, and that would be a consummation so opposed to public opinion that I am sure the English ministry cannot countenance the idea for a moment. I subjoin—by way of preg nant confirmation of the correctness of my informa tion that the French acceptance of the mediation is hampered with insoseptable conditions—extracts from the French papers of this evening, the unanimous tone of which shows very clearly that more is sought to be exacted from England than her minis ters would dare to accord, even if they were so in clined. The news of the evening is thus an nounced by the Patric: At the moment of going to press we learn a fact et the highest importaace. If the Ansi/len army, which bad evidently commenced its offensive movement, has not followed up ins Opals upon the Piedmonts', territory, the reason is that Austria has accepted the mediaiion of England, 'tad ore are et the sere Us; mound that the offer ha; been " takes iMe eesekkradas" by the Emperor Nopoises. If this latter news should be tree, Frigate may be well armored that this new proof of moderation will sot be sirda without resawleg all the guarantees called for by the present eltuation. In au article under another signature the Patrie talks repeatedly of " serioas guarantee'," says that the mediation now offered by England at the last extremity is not "an ordinary mediation," that Eng- 1 land mast " neoessarily engage her responsibility," that her " mere good offices," " hitherto so sterile," are now out of place, and, in short, that" England mast undertake to waist us in case of the failare of her mediation." There is no mistake about this, and if it were nemesary, which I am sure it cannot be, I could not too strongly protest against the notion of England joining Francs in a war in Italy. The same ides, however, peeps forth in the following paragraph of the Pays: . . ' We do not know is what form or on what conditions Aus tria has accepted the English mediation ; ell that we rut my Is that it seems to us very doubtful, ander existing circum stances, whether it ma teed to any satisfactory so lution. Austria, in roughly breaking off the ne gotiations, gave the roams of the oonlidenos which she merits.

WW Lord Derby Maude venters to be bail for Austria? We do net believe he will, and therefore we expect but liras fume this last attempt at mediation. _ The Courrier de Paris considers the new con ciliatory attempt made by the English cabinet as nothing else than a diplomatic mauccuvre, under taken with the view of turning the tables in favour of Austria: To plum Fromm nadir the necessity of Wolin soca lardy °statures, is it not to attempt ti tia upon her that re sponsibility fee the war which belongs altogether to Lashio ? By his patience and modiasttoo the Emperor Napoleon has Tonged all Munro as hie aids. It fa wished to try a test siert is order to des'roy the prestige by which he is stir rounded.

The MoroiGoer, in an indirect way, not very flat tering to Prince Napoleon, conveys a contradiction of the report several times repeated by the semi official journal that he was to have com mand of the Guard. It says that the corps which he is to command will shortly be ready for hint at Toulon, and that General Keg moult de St. Jean d'Aogely " remains at the head of the Guards." Some people think the Prince will take offence, and not go to the war at all. It is rumoured, however, that he takes his wife with him to Sardinia. There has been great flactuation at the Bourse. The news that Austria had not crossed the Ticino, and that she had accepted the English mediation, caused • great many purchases, but the tremend ous fall in Con.ols checked the upward move ment. The Rents oscillated between the ex treme prices of 62fr. 80c. and 61fr. 95c., closing at 62fr. 65c., with a rise of 650. For cash the last price was 62fr. 70c., with a rise of 70c. Mobilier rose llfr. 2k. The Orleans Railway rose 17k. 50e., Lyons 15fr., and Western Oh% 25c.; in the other has. there was little alteration. It is positively stated in various semi-official or gans, that the Emperor, when he goes to the wars. will not be attended by so much as a single member of his civil household. His companions will be military men alone. It is supposed that documents requiring the Emperor's signature will be sent to him frequently by the bands of muters of reqcosts and auditors in the Council of State, according to the practice in the time of the first Empire. Na poleon I. frequently sent for different ministers *hen he was on a campaign, and M. Duo, Minister of State, accompanied him to Moscow. Amoog the paragraphs furnished to the eountry papers in order to foment the war feeling, I remark the following : It is a singular coincidence that daring the Beat campaign of the empire in 1806, that in which the French army ob tained the appellation of "la Graaf Irma* ' " there was three sovereigns in the Aalti—the &apnea Napalm., the Norm of Ansa* sal the Empator of Bala& Oa this Gaut Go, bsds of Aastertitz woe leptieed, poison 111., the Emperor of Anstris, and the King of Sir dint* are espe:terl to Sght at the head of their respective srmier, and their fiat grand engagement will be probably he called, The Bettie of the Three &monism" "The Bettie of the Three Esaperore."
