T/IE question of absolute neutrality sr dynastic interfcrcuce abroad is a question of taxes or reforms at home. livervention means cumulated taxes and arrested reforms ; neutrality means national wealth augmented, and national self-development unchecked. The cricket of the British Gnernment is the midst of European emergencies is no speculative or senti mental concern of sectional partisanships or fancy sympath:cs. It is a question which every housewife in the kingdom can discern as nicely as the freest and most independent elector in the land. It comes home to every cupboard and every till is town and country—from the counting-house is the City to the general shop in the village—from the merchant on 'Change to the salesman and the jobber in the local market. The most incompetent candi date for the honours of middle class examinations is just as capable as the hoariest Cabinet minister of forming an opinion opon the merits of • policy rigidly deft naive, and the risks of a policy fretfully and family meddlesome, neither taking sides nor stand ing honestly aloof. We al: know what to expect' from our numerous poor relations "of kindred " origin," who, without precisely glorying in the honour of Great Britain, u poor old GEORGE the THIRD did, are perfectly ready to confide in the proverbial fecundity and facility of the British Excheqmer. We all know how bravely acd cheerfully patriotic German statesmen and leading German families will take oar money to fight for the safety of the fine old monarchical prin ciple, end for the security of their own frontiers and estate,. Every man, women, and child in these fortunate islands knows the privilege of powerful armies awl the luxury of "commanding fleets." It won't be the fault of oar betters if we inns favoura ble opportunity of exemplifying on a gigantic scale the proverbial danger of playing with edged tools. As a pugnacioas people we are proud to hear, on high authority, that we hare, or are to have, squadrons careering up and down the southern sea, and pendants fiyieg in every port. 'Tie a great advan tage no doubt to have a giant's strength, but • , greater to hold it in beneficent reserve, not to waste it is idle demonstrations and enticing panes, on what is worse, to prostitute it to the good plenum of decrepit dynasties and exhausted "yams. It is one thing to be ready to defend ourselves, and another he ras► between ►ostile combatants sad to insist es reeenhig the largest share of the blows. l'ablie feeling is this anstry is lapsing into one of those periodical fever of simulated panic which are too apt to result real calamities. Not one seam in a thousand really believes is an invasion of England —net on is a hundred in • French attack upon Egypt—set use in tiny in a Russian romp dr arenas at Ceeeteetieerle—not one in twenty in • NArotioxlc dash et the Rhine. But as everything which cannot be proved impos sible may be renounced a potaibility, all and each of these tremendous eventualities are thrown into the cauldron of popular clap-trap, and worked up into awful incantation by intriguers la high place", and by their privileged confederate'. The brining shepherds cry Wolf, and the poor simple muttons bleat • piteous demand to be shorn. The polite publicists of good society who occasio-ally dented into the vulgar arena, se the representatives So! 91 much of the most heavily burdened elan of tax-payers, as of the class most ab le to bear the burden, already demand, by way of conforming to the niacin of their sanatory, that we should return to the cheap and easy plan of subsidies, and accommodate - • Austria, famishing on inconvertible paper, with a mil ion or two of herniated English gold. Rut lest this admirable tmgrstion should fad to arouse en thuidasie, a greet init;al poet, with &signature which may mean either Tweedledurn or Tweedledee—a Trvx ?soar with Court laurels on his brow, or the TCPPIII Of a hundred tea-tables—is invoked to sweep the chords of a careless lyre, and to mud the challenge as of a child screaming in the dark. We cannot find it in our hearts to criticise thermos of a poet who is charged with the prosaic office of neon:mending the i.oitponentent of a Reform Bill. TVRTAVA himself could have made nothing of so stale a dodge. •• Only," as the poet himself observe*, " the Devil knows what he means." bu•, we appreheud, tf ha means anything, it is something worse than neutrality abroad, and something lees than reform at home. *. Riflemen, lltdieratn, ft,fiemen form," heing inter preted. is tilts!e income t►x and rotten boroughs for ever. The dogrel may be harmless enough, but the spirit and the sentiment betray a lefty origin. The misfortune is that the bellicosity of an amiable lyrist, who probably never brandished any weapon more formidable than his fire-irons, arouses an echo in thousands of simple hearts, and the affected fresh ness of disdain for borough politics is forgotten in the brilliant appeal to civic arms. We needed uninspired alarmist to recommend the formed°n of volunteer legions, or to raise the military spirit of Eng lishmen in defence of their hearths and home.; it was the next Reform Hill, poor still-born Tory bantling, that wanted an epitaph. In the public meetings which are being held on the war, it is too e‘ident that the speakers and the sodded:es are eager to march with the lyrical poet to the rescue of the TOT - jet, and to march wi.h all the blind and touching cothdenco of regular troops. Not con tent to isaist on the they and necessity of national vigilance, and readiness for all contin gencies, and with an exaltation of meanness which will be appreciated in high quarters, they earnestly profess no sympathy for the suffering cause—the cause of national independence, the cause of Italy rising with one mind and one arm against her Aus trian oppressor. Now, this may be the cue of Court poets ; it is not, we take leave to aura, the expres sion of the heart and soul of liberal England. It is not among the ft iends of Italy, bet among the spoke gists of Austria, that intrigue against the aSsoluts neutrality of England are sidled iste song. Captain B. D.

A telegram from Raguu, dated the 10th (received by Mr. Renter), states that the Austrian war brig Triton has blown op. The commander of the brig wu on ►hore when the accident happened. The dead, wounded, and missing, are about eighty in number. The following telegrams have been received : BERNE WIDNEBDAY. It is userted that the Austrians will roman the Ticino. Fire hundred Austrians have occupied Nandens (?), on the frontiers of the Grimm Tyro lese Chassears occupy Stelvi, on the frontiers of the Canton Tessin. Numerous bodies of refugees from Lombardy are arriving in Switzerland. TURIN, WEDNESDAY. On reaching Veroelli, the Austrians ceased their retrograde movements. The Austrians to-day made excursions towards Desalts. Yesterday two batteries and 30 carts with sick and wounded returned to Pavia by °mellows. Count Cavour leaves to-day for Genoa to meet the Emperor Napoleon at that town. The following aro further particulars taken from the 19. h and 20th official bulletins, imperfectly transmitted by telegraph : On the evening of tie 7th • corps cf about 3,000 Ai:stria= starched throurh Quint° with half a battery of artiltary, and took the direction of Barony).

Testate, they arrived at Sannizare, 16,000 strong, on their way to Valast by Neva dcl Cairo; 4,000 of these arrived at soot at Itessan abitelt. Tho Austrians have blown up the two first weir of the Valiant bridge on the left honk. Besides the official bulle , ing published at Turin, there are also the bulletins of the war, coming direct from the King's head-quarters at San Salvatore, be tween Casale and Aleggindria. ORDER OF THE DAY OF MARSHAL CANROBERT. The following order of the day has been addressed by Marshal Canrobert to the troops under his c m mend. It is dated from his head-quarters at Alexandria: Soldiers of the 3rd Corps d'Arma of 'he Army of the Alps,—Called together in all haste trr no the different parts of Prance, to give your powerful mid to a brave and friendly iniquitously Invaded by Mehl% you boos assembled here could the chiefs chosen by the Emperor to direct you.

The great Fres& army will soon tied itelf opposite the Austrian army; they era old acquaintances.; both have seen each other at Lodi, at Areal), et Mango, and at Werrrem— Illustrious mama which you will soon emus to be fAlowc I by others equally glorious. AUSTRIAN BARBARITIES. The depredations committed by Austria in Pied mont are now (says the Pays) explained. They are earxiss executed, not for the immediate wants of the army, but in order to fill the storehouses in Lom bardy. Every day long files of waggons laden with hay, vegetables, grain, and provisions of ell kinds, are seen pacing by Novara and Vigeveno fee the left bank of the Ticino. The Austrians lite rally strip the Piedmontsee provinces, and carry off their booty to a place of safety. This manner of making war is that of the ancient barbarians, or rather it is that of en army without money. The Austrians cannot pay for what they take. If they were to plunder in Lombardy they would ran the risk of an insurrection of the peasantry. They therefore go into Piedmont, and make a clean sweep of everything they can Rod. They do this with a rigour and a cruelty which has created a melan choly and profound sensation in Europe. The following has been published as the text of a proclamation addressed by General Gyalai to the inhabitants of Piacenzi : A prowoot-manlara court is organised, and oaly applies ape yoalobroast—that of daub.

The Archduke John died yesterday in Gratz of discus of the langs. THE ATTITUDE OF PRUSSIA. The attitude of Prussia appears to be clearly de fined in the report of the parliamentary com mission entrusted with the examination of the exceptional laws; and in the explanation which the ministers have given to the oommission as to the intentions of the government. Prossio, it is now clearly seen, refuses to enter into any war against France, " and, perhape," the report says " expose herself to yet farther dan gers," in order to defend the position of Austria in Italy—a position which has been compro mised through Austria's own fault, and in spite of pressing warnings. The Minister of Foreign Affairs declared verbally before the commission that in the present war Prussia recognises no other duty I than that of watching over the safety of Germany and the national interests; and even if it should happen that the efforts of the Italians to ob tain a better administration should degenerate into revolutionary movements, Prussia, nevertheless, would see no reason for giving armed assistance to Austria. • The report of the commission contains these remarkable words :—" The stronger Prussia becomes by the harmony between the King and the people, the lees can she interfere by arms in countries where inch harmony does not ezi.t." M. de Schleinitz reminded the commission that England also would remain neutral as long u her interests were unaffected, and that Russia simply reserved to herself the right of quitting her watchful attitude the day on which other powers interfered in this war. The Prussian government, strong in the confidence of the nation, was able to defend the interests of Germany against any attack. The Nord of to-day states that the Prussian cabinel in a circular dated the 29th alt., urges the Confe derated States to avoid precipitation and being betrayed into a course in which Prussia could not follow them. General Wallas has arrived at Vienna, charged with a mission relative to the military affairs of the _ _ THE EMPEROR'S DEPARTURE FOR GENOA. The Emperor Napoleon arrived at Marseilles yes terday at mid-day, and immediately embarked Oa board the Rein* Hortense, where be received the au thorities of the city. At 2 p.m. the steamer left the harbour. The weather was splendid and the wind [avowable. The Reins Hortense proceeded at once to Genoa, escorted by the steam frigate Magellan. She would perform the passage in about twenty-four hours, the distanos being 242 miles. The Emperor, on landing at Genoa, will proceed to the Doria Palace. The ordinary population of the city is 120,000, bet it is ex pected that the number will be doubled when the Reins Hortense enters the port. His Majesty will at once proceed to Alessandris, and assume the com mand-in-chief of the French troops. The Minister of Public Worship has addressed the following circular to the archbishops and bishops of the empire : Paris, May 10. Monseigncur,—The Emperor is abut to plans himself at the head of the army of Italy. Ala Mrdeety desires that public peeves elusll be ordered in all the churches of the empire, beseeching the Almighty to Towheads the aureate of our arms and to probrot France.

(MOM ♦ COMESPONDENT.) PISA, MAT 6. When the Grand Duke left Florence great wu the joy of the Toscana; and down by the next train from every city came immense banners which were erected lama bridge, church, or tower, according to choice. Here in Pies the tri•mlour is hoisted In the middle of t►e bridge, and everyone goes about with tri•coloute all over them. The Plans actually woke up—poor people—when the news arrived that the flag was coming down. They waited, end welted on the burning bridge—in the flaming sun, with many false alarms and mach patine., till on the aril rail way they law the train streaming down with the great tri colour flag waving lu the wind. Then they began dancing with inthatienee on the platform ; and thew, with a shout, took the banner and rushed on to the middle of the bridge with it. Then, such a shout!

H. V. D. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. CIIPAY ors owx PARIS. WED:MOAT EVINIIIO. The Emperor arrived at Marseilles at noon to day. The telegrams speak of a magnitiJent recep tion by an immense crowd. His Majesty is ex pected to embark in the Heine Hortense this even ing. Some journalists have been selected to accom pany the Emperor, andtmong them M. Perron, of the Handcar, and M. Dteolle, of the Constatt- Simms!. Measures have been taken for sending se veral official despatches to Paris every day. The rays states that Rear-Admiral Julien de La gravidre has left Genoa in the Algeciras for the Adriatic to give notice to the military authorities that the ports of the Austrian coasts are in a state of blockade. The bourse was much firmer to-day. The news of the thorough success of the loan, and the enthu siastic greetings lavished upon the Emperor on his departure, produced a favourable effect. The Rents rose 55c. for cash and 63c. for account, closing at 61fr. 33c. in each cue. Nlobilier rose 37k. 50e. The railways improved considerably; Orleans rase 33fr.; Northern, 32fr. 30c. ; Esstern, 20k. ; Lyons, 22fr. 60:., and Southern, 23fr. 75c. Vestern was without change. M. Paulin Limayrac writes in this evening's Parris : The Emperor ie gone. He left amidst the most peruke:tate enthusWenx whichever greeted the progress of a sovereign. The crowd was Immense, and la all that crowd there *es bat one voice and one soul. The Emperor had scarcely emerged from the Tuileries before the official character of the solemnity entirely disappeared. The roverelgn was loot among his people. His tentage was • triumphal car, This was only the departure for the war, but history will certainly perpetuate the ramie:K.6'4one* of the moving spec tacle. The explanation of the enth•.isam is that there lees deep In the heart of our tumefy a love of truth, justice, and grandeur. There sontiumuts may indeed sometimes lie dormant. Happy the eovererge who awakens them I The bog and vast, aeclame•iun which echoed yester day from she Tuileries to the Lyons railway station is • magnificent proof of the acoaray of the Emperor's Mews of the Italian question, and ahows how well warranted he wee to reckon upon the iatelligeat and generous sympa thies of Fl end. His reception of yesterday is the best answer to those who thought and mid, at the reounancement of the twLir, that Itay Irus a tan wry off, and that sn op pressed nationality, however integrating, was sot • thing of sufficient importance to be allowed to Minters with the ordinary course of our own affeire. The French satiate, we were told a little while see, Is entering on a mew phase of *Matinee, and Its motto should be the well-known one : " Every one at home, end every one foe himself." The most obstinate devolves of this doctrine will know what to think of it, after the event of yemerday. And if any of the foreign ambassadors resident fe Paris shalt I have cheered to see the deportees of the Emperor they will have written to their government., The Frames of to-day is the sane France so the was of old time; and in this country there is now but one party, the perry of p 'bio ta/CIL" We repeat that the epecteclo was most touching ; and east added to the univerialemo ion was the deep feeling lee ibloia the features of the Empress. Nothing coo completely console • wife and a mother at such • farewell moment, not even the reepeot and love of an entire people. An elms. Ilion of anehaken faith beamed upon the countenance of the Emperor. This coned, nor on the tart of the sovereign, and the explosion of unanimous s utbmiastu which acoomi &pied his departure, are presages of those victories, the bulletins of which will n•d fill to reward our expectation. The Petrie regrets the revival of the sliding tulle even fee a single year, and hold. that the alleged excuse—the war—is insufficient. The present upward movement, which is, in fact, but the natural consequence of the outbreak of hostilities, will, if it continues, be laid hold of by the protectionists as evidence of the benefits of the sliding scale. Bat, the Pat.', observes, if there should be an abundant hareedr, as there is good reason to hope, this new trial of the old tariff will perhaps have the good effect of dissipating the illusions still cherished by certain persons as to the efficiency of variable duties in securing a remunerating price. The Journal des Vines et Campayoses, a paper of forty years' standing, hes rewired a warning signed " Arrigbi de Padour," for an article in the number of May 4,• which is described as being written "with the manifest intention to being the army into disrepute, and to mislead public opinion as to the true object of the war which France has under taken for the emancipation of Italy."
