There is no doubt a certain inherent difficulty in the sitastion of a looker-on, front ever so safe • distance,at a duel between two of the principal European Powers; a duel which brings one-half the forces of the Continent ioto the field, and the other half to the frontiers—a duel momentous in its imme diate issues. fraught with incalculable contingencies and illimitable eventualities. When the looker-on happens to be equally powerful and pugnacious, disgusted at the disturbance of peace, yet perfectly ready, and almost eager, to rush into the fray for the run of the thing, and perhaps stung with an anemy sense of having been baulked in the last trial of na tional strength, the difficulty becomes infinitely greater, and we must in common fairness acquit any government of being the sole responsible author of the critical arid menacing conditions under which such a neutrality is still out ward ly and visibly preserved. At the same time we cannot be wilfully blind to what is passing before the eyes of all men, or deaf to what all the world avow,. It was bed enough tint the country should be left without • Parliament at such a time ; but it is far wore, that a Government vir tually condemned by the country, and only awaiting a formal sentence of dismissal, should be conspiring, under the auspices of covert and irresponsible patron., and through the agency of one Minister's mischievous temerity and another', equally mi.- ehievoas indecision mid imbecility, to commit the fortunes of England to some disastrous and irrepar able coons of policy. from which it would be impos sible for their suceemons, hiwever prudent or well advised, to retreat without dishassur. People most indeed be " wax to receive," who are content to re pos.. under the shadow of • Royal Proclamation. All our sdvicee from Germany and the South of Europe concur in bearing whams to the malignant hiss of oar Tory policy and to the partial and un equal spirit which dictate. all the clumsy trick, of oar diplonmey sad every •isitatioo of our ships of war in Mediterranean port.. When we have ex pressed our seknowledgmeota of the seal and energy with which the Admiralty is mimed in replacing the Channel fleet and in lining our coasts with floating bulwark., we have discharged the only pleasant part of our task. The rest is doubt, suspi cion, and alarm. The same spirit which at home is afraid to trust the nation with arms in its hands. and shrinks from encouraging a military spirit out of the ranks of • standing army, ia busy in raking up the embers of smouldering animosities abroad. The spirit which intrigues for the good graces of the parvenu of the Pore on the bust inp, is busy in supporting openly where it ctn, sirretly where it most, the Papal interests in Tuscany and at Vienne. Not an order to an admiral, not an instruction to au ambassador, not an article is a ministeriel "organ," but exposes or suggests a fretful impatience of preserving even the decencies of neatrality. It is not that any plain and positive threat of intervention is hurled into the midst of the contending armies, for that we should know how to deal with ; it is that a systematic war fare of petty provocations, vexations impertinences, and officious meddling. is parsed wherever so mach as a chargé d'affaires is at band to talk bad French, or a ship can be sent to stop the way. Our cor respondent at Malta, in reference to the recent visit of her Mcitsrit's ship Orion to Genos, significantly say., " mistrals arc never very welcome, and are generally looked upon as spies." Now, we have no doubt that this sensible remark expresses the feelings of the gallant officers of that splendid ship at the obnoxious position they were forced to take up in the presence of their old Crimean allies. It was not, we dare say, the fault of the Orion that she lay at the securest anchorage she could find, and in deep water; bat it was inexcusable in Lord MstlerSatlllr (for these "detailed" ship, take their orders from the Foreign Minister), gratuitously, wantonly, and foe so conceivable purpose, to place British officers in a false, invidious, and offensive position in a friendly harbour, and to expose them to the reception to which Austrian officers are con demned at Milan. It is the happy privilege and pride of our gallant countrymen serving in the Navy to take no tart in politic*, and to know no motive but duty, no principle but the honour of the British flag; and therefore we insist it is unpardonable it the Foreign-office to compromise their independence and their comfort for the sake of doing a little mis chief with impunity. One only feeling appears to be domisaat in the councils of a Tory Ministry, and that is—fear of the soccer of the Allies. Abject incapacity for dealing with present emergencies is only iqualitd by en utter want of any large, gene rous, clearsightid, and calm forecast of coining events, and the result is a sort of feverish inconti mace, instead of the modest and wise reserve of oesseionsstreegth.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 2 THE WAR. The Mo Niteur of this morning (we learn from Mr. Reuter) publishes the following telegram : "ALESSANDRIA, FILIDAT EvvnNo, MAT 20. "The Emperor went this morning to Casale, where the King of Sardinia was awaiting him. The two sovereigns then inspected together the fortifica tions and position of the vanguard. The Emperor then returned to Alessandria, and went this after noon to visit the battlefield of Marengo. His Majesty enjoys good health, and the sanitary condi tion of the army is all that can be desired." TURIN, Puma?. The official bulletin published to-day is u fol lows: " 12,000 Austrians advanced to-day from Stra della towards Caateggio, where the streets had been barricaded since Wednesday, and three unimportant attacks repulsed. Two strong columns of our troops marched to-day to meet the Austrians. Austrian prisoners have been already brought to Voghera, but all details of a light are as yet wanting. " It is asserted thst the Emperor of Austria arrived yesterday at Milan, and that he departed directly for Paris, accompanied by General Mesa." TUSCANY. The following telegram from Leghorn, dated yesterday, has been received by Mr. Reuter: " the Sam! has arrived here this morning with 350 men of the brigade contlaiiires and of the 6th corps d'arrnee on board. The general with his troops disembarked amidst thousands of plaudits expressive of the sympathy of the populace. The whole town was hung with Bags. Other vessels with troops are expected. The troops who have disembarked are quartered in the barracks of the fort Poeta Murals. (?) „ . . ” Prince Napoleon w i ll arrive here on Sunday next." SWITZERLAND. BERNE, FRIDAY. The Federal Diet has resolved on prohibiting the exportation of arms to and the collecting of arms by the inhabitants at those places in the immediate vicinity of tho Italian frontier, and also the pur chase of arms from deserters. Fugitives (old men, women, and sick excepted), and deserters able to bear arms, are to be forbidden to pass from the terri tories of one belligerent power into the territories of another. The number of fugitives in the Canton of Ticino is increasing. GERMANY. DRESDEN, FRTDAT. A fortnightly transport of Austrian troops to the federal fortresses begins on Sunday next with the Ent despatch of 31,000 infantry, four regiments of cavalry, 3,900 hones, and 80 pieces of cannon. The Commercial Gaulle of Berlin says:—" We know upon good authority that the Prince Regent has ordered circulars to be addressed to the local authorities to secure hones for the army, in cue it should be mobilised. The horses are to be selected and marked at once, but returned to their owners, who will keep them till they are wasted, bat may not sell them under penalty of 100 thalers. All persons having horses are obliged to bring them to the committee appointed to make the choice." The Swabian Mercury states that the Austrian port of Pola is completely deserted. It is considered the beet military port in Austria, and the general opinion was that the Austrian navy and Lloyd's steamers would be placed in safety there. It ap prars that Pola was abandoned because the fortiflca fions were constructed by a French engineer, and it was - feared that the French government might possess accurate information as to all the defences of tho port. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (711,011 ova OWN PARIS, FItIDAT Eilt/IVXO. . -- There is •vague tumour of an engagement having taken place between the Austrians and a corps of French cavalry. The general opinion is, however, that in the present state of the weather no important military operations can be effected. It is . anaerstood that the mission in Italy of M. Pietri, the ex-prefect of police, is to organise the civil administration of every towa that may be taken by the allied armies. The impress will probably leave the Tuileries for Bt. Media a day or two. Preparations are making there for the reception of several august personagee, who, it is said, propose to visit the court of France in the course of the summer." The Prince and Princess George of Mecklem bourg (the prinoess; is the Grand Duchess Catherine of Russia) have honoured the Opera with their pre sence, to witness the ballet of SaeouNtala. The Pavillon Marsan, at the north-west angle of the Tuileries, which the Empreu has assigned to the prince and princess for their residence, now attracts the observation of the passers-by in the Rue Rivoli, by the brilliant lights which shine on an evening, from every one of its windows. A correspondent of the Nord, speaking by anti cipation of the transfer of the press depaament of the Ministry of the Interior to a separate direction, to he presided over by M. de la Guerronniere , which is announced in the Mositeur thi s morning, says that the change is made iu execution of orders left by the Emperor on his departure, that the regu lations which govern the press should be made more "intellectually political." The Duke de I'sdoue, the new minister, sharing the views of the Emperor, is raid to disapprove of the ex isting organisation. Time alone can show what the real and practical nature of the innovation is to be. The I'Verd corresoondeot in sista much upon the fact that the press is now to be entiiely dissociated from the odious words " police " and "public safety," the contact with which was degrading to writers, and predicates the commence ment of a new era fur products of the mind. One cannot too sincerely hope that inch cheering antici pations may he speedily realised. Hitherto the Duke de l'sdoue's administration has been distin guished by a jealousy of the press, exhibited prin cipally by frequent and wholesale seizures of foreign journals greater than has been shown for loins time. This, however, may be a fortuitous coincidence, re sulting from the war, and it is even possible that the duke, looking to a new regime, may have abstained from any personal interference with the press de partment of hie 'ministry. I frankly own that the appointment of Viscount de La Guerroniere to his new office is viewed with pleasure and hope in newspaper circles. He is an amiable man, personally liked, and whatever his real opinion may be at present, it is pertain that he entertained at one period of his life very liberal ideas. It is scarcely possible that the atmosphere of a court OW have obliterated all sympathy for the press from the mind of the old collohorateur of Lamartine in the Pays, and Emile de Oirardin in the Prune. The Bourse wu rather fires at the opening. The, tint quotation of the Recta was 81fr. 6c., being 10e. higher than yesterday; it went down to 60fr. 80c., and afterwards roes to the opening price on a ru mour of a victory in Piedmont. The closing quota- Cons were 61fr. 10c. and 61fr. 6c., with a rise of 10c. and 6c. Mobilier rose 3fr. 76c. The Orleans Rail way rose 6fr., Northern 10fr., and the other lines left off with scarcely any change. A notice has been posted up in the museums of the Louvre, informing artists that the Grand Gal lery and the Square Room will be closed for three weeks from the 26th inst. The Empress, accompanied by two of her ladies of honour, left the Tuileries the afternoon before last in an open carriage with postilions, and visited the asylum for young female °splint's, founded by her Majesty, in the Foul iurg St. Antoine. The Empress remained about two hours inspecting the establishment, and returned to the Tuileries at seven o'clock. ITALY. -•-- SARDINIA. mole OUR OWN coaazerosinxT.) TURIN, NAT 17. . _ Last night's bulletin runs as follows: • Turin, May 16, Evening.—Near Voghers, a troop of our aviary met some Austrian Hupare. Ons of their corponds has been taken primer, and a few soldier, wounded. The Autrians retired to Cmtestrio, relearning the mayor of Brook NoUtiag new from Vercelli. The reason of the laconic snd rather obscure style of these bulletins is obvious. Specific and important information would find its way early to General Gyulai's camp through Switzerland. Genoa is still resounding with warlike bustle Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard with their camber some costume, and Zouaves with their picturesque Oriental dress and truculent aspect, have left, but Prince Napoleon is busy organising the 6th corps d'armee, which is swelling every day. His Imperial Highness has addressed to the soldiers under his com mand a spirited ordre de jour, which ends with the sacred words, Viva llndipendensa lealiana. He is now the pet of fair Genoese ladies, and of the sun burned condi of that proud city. The Prince hopes to join the active army at the end of this week. If one may credit all the rumours of oath and drawing rooms, Austrian agents are very busy and active. Yesterday evening a poor fellow from Udine, Gio vanni Zai, was quietly sipping his coffee at Fiorio, when two gendarmes invited him to follow their steps. The word, "Spy, spy," was soon uttered, and a very exciting scene was witnessed. After s ome few hours Zai again made his appearance, as it was ascertained that he had been calumniated by a man of his native town named Madras:. The in former was arrested instead, and Zai was carried in triumph by his friends amidst the acclamations of the crowd. Two spies have been caught by Gari baldi at San Germano, where his small bat brave band is encamped. He has got forty young and active fellows, almost all belonging to the nobility of Milan, who act as guides. Amongst these rich volunteers—who, by-the-bye, are not paid by the government—you may find plenty of counts and marquises, bankers and artiste i generous fellows such as the Buenos, the Csrissimis, and the Little , the fide of Lombard and Venetian society. It is pleasing to see Italians of all classes, and from all parts of the world, joining with their beet efforts in the work of their national emancipation.' , Mr. A. Gallengs, long a resident in Great Britain, and known as the author of a history of Piedmont, has just arrived from England, bringing to his country the welcome present of forty English rifles, destined to arm a few of the bravest volunteers of the Garibaldi legion. The same gentleman had made equal efforts in forwarding the volunteer movement at Rome and in Tuscany. (110 K 001 OWI TURIN, MAY 17. Expecting from day to day, and almost from hour to hour, to receive some astounding bulletin from the "army of Italy," permit me, sir, to give a glance at other parts of the Peninsula, all of which are at present worthy of interest. - - Italian minds have been chiefly occupied for ages with two things : the expulsion of foreigners and the abolition of the temporal power of the Popes. These two objects are closely allied, but the second is more difficult than the first. For artillery does not and cannot destroy ideas, and there aro still vast numbers of people in Europe who live in the error of believing that the papal religion cannot exist without temporal sovereignty. For my own part, I have no doubt at all that the sovereignty will burn itself out by degrees, and that they strangely deceive themselves who hope to save it, as do others who expect to see it annihilated in a day. Undoubtedly, the emancipation of Italy would rapid ty hasten its fall; and because the Roman See would accept a dozen fresh heresies rather than Italy's freedom. Bat the Roman See, all famous as it is for expfidients and wary shifts, has its passions, and is beginning to show a want of foresight. Of late there is nothing it has feared and detested more than a diplomatic congress; because it knew that with the exception of Austria the great powers had all agreed to proclaim to the whole world the wretched administration of the Pontiff, and the necessity of its reform to some slight extent. I do not know whether the Pope and Antonelli have preferred war, canvassing the military party at Vienna, and in triguing with them to that end ; but I know the most fanatical of the clergy have done so. It is they who have just ousted Count Buol from his place, he being too moderate a man for them. In the meantime Napoleon 111. transmits to Pio Nano the amplest assurances, but they are received with diffidence. The politicians of Monte Cavallo are most decidedly of opinion that after the winning of a few battles and the expulsion of the Austaisas, the temporal power of the Pope will remain at the discretion of the French and Italians, and that Europe, for the sake cf defending it, will be unwilling to encounter the dangers of a general war. I re member to have once written to you that since the days of Pepin and his son, I knew of no prince in Europe who understood better the art of cajoling the priests and making them his• instrument■ than the present Emperor of the French. They see it all now, and are very indignant indeed—but, I fancy, too late. In any ease, the best thing they can do is to dissemble. Accordingly, Cardinal Antonelli has despatched to all the legates and delegates of the provinces a circular, in which he displays deep faith in the assursoces of France, and above all in the official answer sent by the Imperial government to the Holy See to acknowledge and fully to respect the neutrality just declared by the Pontifical govern_ anent. Permit me to add, that Piedmontese diplomacy maintains in this respect also its habitual loyalty and frankness. 'foethe official declaration of neu trality recently forwarded here by Cardinal Anto nelli, the Sardinian government has replied by two despatches, one on the 6th and the ether on tie 11th of this womb. In both, the intimation is conveyed that the government nt his Majesty the Kiug Vittorio Etumanuele feels itselt compelled to fight sgeinst the armed and formidable enemies of Italian independence wherever they are to be found ; and aim* these are in Ancona, Bologna, and Ferrara, it will not be de terred (if able, and the chances of war permitting) from fighting them in each of these place.. But u for the city of Ferrari, the Sardinian government recollects with pleasure the energetic protest of his Holiness in the year 1849, and hopes that the Italian arm will rid for ever that illustrious city from the ~ 1859. presence of foreign troops. In fine, no government could be more a friend to order and discipline than the Piedmontese, and no better proof of this could be desired than the fact of its conducting this pre sent war of independence without the assistance of sects and revolutions. These last words in the two despatches are intended as • hint that when the Pontifical government becomes in capable of maintaining its power in the provinces, King Victor Emmanuel is resolved that they shall not fall into the hands of the Austrians or the dangers of anarchy ; that he will behave to wards them as he has done in Tuscany, where he has assumed a simple protectorate during the war, but refused the dictatorship. Now all this has thrown the policy and cleverness of Cardinal Antonelli into a state of extreme confusion, so that his sole hope is concentrated on the Austrian garrisons. Hence he has allowed the one at Anoona to increase to seven thousand men, the normal strength being only two thousand ; and he allows the fortifications to go on and provisions to be laid in u abundantly as if the place would have to sustain a long siege. By way of proving his impartiality and his wish to maintain equal neutrality towards both parties he has protested against the state of siege decreed by the Austrian general. IThe state of siege will be raised, without much injury to the preponderance of the military element, for in the Pontifical provinces the local government I and police have such elastic properties that the difference will be small whether there is a state of siege or not. In the meantime, from the Romagnas, the Marches, and Rome itself, the stream of volun teers continues for Piedmont or Tuscany, in which latter country three depots have been formed on the frontiers to receive and train them ; one at Maraddi, near Forli; the second at Mezzo, whose territory joins Umbria and other provinces; and the third at Siena, which stands in more direct communication with Rome on the side of the Maremme. It really is marvellous to see how the national senti ment has now penetrated the most sequestered and ignorant regions that are bounded by the desert in the midst of which Rome stands. Let me instance the province of Marillima and Campagna, one of the poorest and most abject in the whole State. The commissioners of the government arc there, enlisting for the Pontifical army, giving • bounty of 130 francs per man. Well, the young men there prefer to lead a military life in Piedmont or Tuscany, and all they ask in the way of bounty is just enough to enable them to elude the vigilance and severity of their own police. Astor the Papal troops—l do not mean the Swiss, but the natives—they are coming in such num bers, that desertion is all the rage. Daring the night of the 7th inst. no less than 70 dragoons left Rome, having been ordered to Sinigallia. Bat on reaching Fuligno they changed their route, and, passing through Perugia, came on to Tuscany, where they were received by the military band and shouts of joy. Pesquin was not so far wrong, then, when he told Marfonio all about his journey in a balloon. "I saw the English," said he, "at sea; the French on land ; and the Pontifical Government in air." The tribulations of the last will increase before many days elapse, for the French Beet has already entered the Adriatic for the purpose of blockading the Austrian ports, including even that of Ancona, where the Austrians do not abstain from making military preparations. I think that when they have lost a battle or two on the Po, they will hardly be able to keep their ground at Bologna and Ferrara. In these two cities, and in the rest of the Romagna, when the Austrians are gone, the inhabitants will solicit the dictatorship of the King Victor Emmanuel. Respecting the events of the war, they who pretend to be well informed persist in Irving that the delay is tedious but neces sary, as it is intended before long to assault with each vigour as to decide the great fact within a brief period, and so baffle the intrigues of diplomacy, which never gives in, never confesses that it is beaten. The Hungarian General Klapka arrived lure yesterday; he and some few other officers, countrymen of his, form part of Napoleon's train. You begin now to see unfolded that eloquent banner I talked of some time back ; but you will understand that on this subject I must be very reserved. In my next I shall continue the short notices 1 have here commenced concerning the state of Italy. A.
