Austria tam declared war. This ultimatum—te speak of it fora moment as if it were a bona fide diplomatic demand, intended far serious oomidrn►- tioa—ia a monstrous proposal to extend to Piedmont the same infamous policy which has reduced all the other States in Italy to subjection to Austria. It is a demand that the one Constitutional State, which is the hope and joy of every Italian patriot, shall strip naked, and prostrate herself at the feet of the great oppressor of Central and Southern Europe. We will not insult the Kix° of the noble Twenty- Ire Thousand who fought at our side in the Crimea —we will not insult our readen—by discussing this meek proposition.

Count Girt-it's declaration of war follows hard upon Comet BCoL's recent exposition of Austrian policy in Italy as pursued for nearly half a century, and is Its rational consequence. Is the despatch of the Austrian Foreign Minister, dated February 26, it is solemnly declared that Italy can never have fres institutions, but mast always be governed by the bayonet—that the Princes of Italy have a legitimate right to deliver their territory to the military peeps& sion and their subjects to the stripes of Austria, end that to contest this is to deny their indepea. dente—that the Papal Government needs reform in its army, and that if other reforms are needed in Italy, noes can be undertaken while Piedmont retains her s!steen.

We may discern a spark of hope, tberefoce, that Louis Napoleon m■y not make a hasty rush to take up the glove that is now so rashly thrown down; sad that time may yet enable Eoglsnd to prevail upon Aueltia to retract it. There is still a faint chance that we may induce Austria not to precipitate a war just at the time when matters have taken such a torn that there was some real hope of an accommodation. It would sot be right, however, to hang much weight upon this slenakr thread. It is not a very promising prospect to hops to dump the purpose of a stubborn power, exulting in her military superiority, by diplorastieing her through the talegvaph• (Pion the Rut.)

For various meow this state had grown us popular with the public in massy parts of Europe, and its conduct during the Crimean struggle rendered the greatest Gentles mammy.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AUSTRIA AND PIEDMONT. The following intelligens% received yesterday by telegraph from Turin, agrees with a despatch which has reached the English Government: " General Gyulai has been ordered to present an ultimatum requiring dissxmaroent, and the sending away of volunteers. It these terms are refused, war is to be declared in three days. Two mere divisions of the Austrian army of 80,000 men have been ordered to the Ticino. The English proposal for a Congress upon the same conditions as that at I Laybach has been refused." A telegram received by Mr. Renter gives an abstract of a statement in the Dresden Journal of yesterday, oorroberatory of the foregoing intelli gence, so far as regards the extent of time said to be given to Sardinia for reflection. According to the Dresden paper, a communication had been sent by Austria to Turin, the terms of which we do not learn from the present source of information. AND BRITLIII Tu.sowir.) VIM 001 ow PARIS, FaIDLT Mowing°. The Noxitsur states that Austria has refused to adhere to the proposition made by England, and acoeptod by France, Prussia, and Russia, and more over that the cabinet of Vienna had resolved to address a communication direct to Turin to obtain the disarmament of Sardinia. In presence of these fast., the Emperor has ordered the concentration of several divisions of the army on the Piedmonteee frontier. FRANCE AND SARDINIA. We read in the Constiktionnel of yesterday : „ The Bonne was greatly agitated to-day. It was con sidered probable that Austria would refuse to accede to the last propositions of the English government, published in the Moniteur, and it was announced that in consequence several regiments of the garri son of Paris have left this morning for the south. We have, in point of fact, reason to know that a part of the army of Paris has received orders to hold itself in readiness to march. The following, if we are rightly informed, are the arrangements made for the execution of this movement :—The let and 4th infantry divisions of the army of Paris are under orders to proceed to Toulon by railway. The Ist division, commanded by Genteel Forey, having under his orders Generals Beuret and Blanchard, will commence the movement. This division is PAST. composed of the 17th battalion of foot chawseure and the 74th, 84th, 91st, and 98th regiments of the line. These corps, unless countermanded, will leave Paris to-morrow evening They will be followed by the 4th division, commanded by General Vinoy, with Generals Martimprey and be la Cheerier* under him. This division is composed of the 6th batta lion of foot chameurs and the 62nd, 73rd, 85th, and 88th line regiments." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ("oil ova owl' PARIS, TIIVILDDAT The pacific news given by the Pays last night in a positive form, turns out to be altogether unfounded. The Moniteur, as you will have seen, publishes a proposition from England (being doubtless the Ode _ . . referred to by Lord Malmesbury in his speech) and, at the same time, announces that the proposition has been aooepted by France, Russia, and Prussic The farm of the announcement is very ominous. If it had not been known to a certainty that Austria would refuse, the Nonitersr, in accordance with pre cedent, would have stated that the answer of Austria had not yet been officially received. Bat it is further to be remarked that the new English proposal differs essentially from the French one contained in the Moniteur only the day before yesterday, and which must be presumed to be now out of the question. The great difference consists in this—that according to the French suggestion Piedmont was to be ad mitted to the congress on the same footing ss the five great powers. That point is certainly not doubtful, although according to the interpretation of the Petrie, the other Italian Slates mentioned in the same breath were to appear before the congress in a subordinate capacity. But from this change there follows the important coneequenoe that Piedmont is net bound to adhere to a promise to disarm which was made on the assumption that she would sit in the congress on spar with the great powers. In all probability France and Russia only assented to the English proposal when they were well assured that it would be rejected by Austria and Sardinia. The general tenor of the news to-day is most alarming. I am assured, at a late hour this evening, that an evaaive answer—which the French government con- shoes u a refusal—has been received from Austria, It is, hewer, an extraordinary fact that the Vienna Metallic' come 2 per ant. higher to-day, and I have seen a despatch which says that the " tendencies are favourable." Among the alarming rumours that have circulated in Paris to-day, there is one which I believe is traceable to a premature dispatch in a London journal—via., that the Austrian troops had already entered the Piecimontese territory. The only truth is this news appears to be, according to a despatch received by the French government from General Lamarmors, that the Austrian army has made a " significant" movement upon the Ticino, and that an " attack was feared from one moment to another." It was announoed only a few days since, that the railway from Marseilles to Toulon would be ready for traffic on May 2, but I am in that the government has eked the company to use every effort to transport troops upon it immediately. An extraordinary Council of Ministers wu held at the Tuileries to-day, the Emperor presiding.

The matter came on se ea appeal motion from the Vice-Chancellor before this court on Bth February last, when it wee wronged that the whole question In dispute should hi heard on the motion for a decree in the cause. The arguments were com menced on Wednesday, and were continued to-day. The plaintiff+, by their bill as amended, payed that the defend snot and their myna may be restrained from using so much of th e railway of the plaintiffs at is minuted between the point of intake with that railway at Havant of the Ports mouth Railway and the point at ass neer Hite' ea Redoubt, where the railway of the plaintiffs unites with the line to Portsmouth belonging to the plaintiffs and the London and South Western Company ; and from tilting the station of the plaintiffs at Havant ; and from oda( thoint station at Landport of the plaintiffs sad the South Western Com pany for the transit of passengers or goods destined fur or coming from the Portsmouth Railway or any pert thereof, except only so far as relates to the tratmeareion of teethc conveyed in the public service to or from the line belonging to the crown lealling to the dockyard or other naval or military oftments at Portant or Portsmouth ; that an aetesat may be taken ef all traffic carried by the South Western Railway on the Portsmouth Railway to or from the Undyed station, dislingolehing traffic brought from or conveyed to any place north of Godalmiog from traffic conveyed to sr from any place south of Goddmiug and that the defendants may be decreed to pay full compen sation for the me of the joint lira and station at Landport.

The Lica of the cam are sa follows :—By the Brighton and Chichester (Portsmouth Extension) and Lon don and South Western Railway Aat, 1847, it was enacted that the Brighton and Chichester Comp y might sell, and the London, Brighton, sett !oath Coast Company and the London and South Waken Company might pa:chase, each part IPA should be agreed upon of the Portsmouth Extension of the Brighton and Chichester Railway Company as was westward of the Mellon near Meant. This junction was to be famed and be worked sea joint line by the London and South Waders and the London, Brighten, and South Coast Companies, subject to the antral of a joint committee of the two companies, it Wog enacted by seed= 13 of the act that, subject to such control and ma , napesset, sad the previsions of any sad every act of pada , owe gee the time Wog relating to the joist line or the two steekales, each of the two companies might at all times themefetr use the joint line fur the purpose of conveying pas emirs, animals, and things upon the same, and for all such purposes as should be necessary for the traffic or business I thereon of the respective torrip.neto. Articles of contract in I pursuance of the act of 1847 were roads on the Rh October, 1848, between the three companies, for the purpose of arrang ing the terms upon which the joint line was to be worked, and electing the conveyance to the South Western sod Brighton and South Coast Companies. Fur ther terms of agreement between ths two com =ors arranged in hugest, nee. By th e th Railway Act, 1863, the Portsmouth Railway Oennpany was Incorporated with power to make a line from 'Want to thiamin, to white place a breach of the South Weirs lialks, from Guildford extended, the line of the Potinsudt Company when completed, joining the South Coed line at a short distance from Havant and the joint line. In Jamey, 1858, another agreement was entered into between** Bright on and South Coast sad th e South Women Comp* ea soppleaseatil to the ex meats of 1848 1852. By the POVONII011111 M 12:74 Allifildmeog Act, 1868, section 36, that oompany and eel ether companies lawlully using the Portemouth Railway were authorised to t over sad use tie joint line, snd that jportion of the Bri ghton end Booth Coast attained between its unction with the mtementh sad its emetics with the joint line ; such powers et perege and we to be exercised on such tams and conditioner, falling an sgesement betwoe n the comprise, should be settled in certain specified mode, with a proem that, except m hatelastter provided, nothiog is the ad awl& 01111011 r en the company or on any other sr pews wryer of ping the joint station at Palma, fit ery purpose ether than the tramme d= upon th e lines kid down in the station of the traffic stenemed In the pale malice. It was also provided by erec tion 98 that the company and owners for the time being of the joint station at Landport might agree for the use by the Portsmouth Company, or my:other company, of the joint stalk* for the general traffic ut the company, on such terms as ndght be mutually agreed upon between them, provided that it co such seen meet could to come to, then the Portsmouth Company should, before the year from passing the act, purchase so much of the lands authorised to be purchased at Pottsea as should he necessary for the construction of an independent scion, and construct such batons as might be required for the accommodation of the truffle. The Poetemouttt Railway Company had re quired the plaintiffs (the flashgun and South Coast Com piny) to come to an arrangement for the use by them of the &nth Coast hoe between the two points of junction, and of' ' the pkintilf: station at Ramat. The companies not hay- fag been able to egret upon the terms on which the line and nation in question should be used, the matter had been referred, under the powers of the act, to arbitration. The South Western Company, esalleged by the bill of the plain tier, bed entered into agreement with the Portsmouth Com pany for waking their lino and for the conveyance of Mello thereon, but such agreement had been entered on without the sanction and concurrence of the plaintiffs. In December last the plaintiffs received notice of the arrangements proposed by the South Watson Com pany for working the traffic of the Portsmouth Railway and using the plaintiffs line between the two points of junction. The ;lent& thereupon objected to the use of the_joint station at Landport Lathe Portsmouth Railway traffic. Up= the South Western Company inanition on their right, In tithe of their joint ownership of the joint line and station, to nee them foe all the purposes of their company, not ex cepting the traffic which might have passed from, or which might be shout to pees to the Portsmouth Railway, the plaintiffs filed their bill, and moved for the injunction on the terms above mentioned. In support of the motion it was contended that the South Western Comi say was acting ille gally, and he violation of meth* 13 of the act of 1847, which meet be wafted strictly to the two companies, and mold not enable the traffic of a third company to be in troduced over the joint lion whether such traffic had or igi sally travelled over the South Western line proper, or was merely traffic of the Portsmouth Railway. The South Wes tern Company, by, working the Portsmouth Railway, most be taken as representing that oomps u ay if welch was expressly peohtbtted by the act of 1858 from the joint statiou at Lthdport, except by agreement. On e other hand, it won contended that there was nothing In the sets to prohibit the South Wasters Company from using she joint station for ell purposes, including the working by them of the Portareouth Railway and the conveyance of traffic over that line, whether I etween Portsmouth and London or between Portsmouth and Godahoing only. It was impositibie to pre vent psseengers from taking tee direct line now open to Oadelming, saving about 25 miles, Instead of the circuitous route by Basingstoke, and so long as passengers or traffic were conveyed over any portion of the South Western line—the joint line being a portion of their lin , the traffic became South Western traffic, and sa such entitled to the use of the joint station.
