VIENNA, April 29.—The subjoined manifesto, which was published in the Wi net: Zeitung. of this morning, is posted at the corners of 'the_principal streets of the city IMPERIAL MANIFESTO.—TO, MY PEOPLE. I have ordered my faithful and gallant army to put a stop to the inimical acts which for a series of years'-have been committed by the neighbouring State of Sardinia - against the indisputable rights of my . crown; and • the integrity of the realm placed by God under my care, which acts have lately attained the very highest point. By . so doing I have fulfilled the painful but unavoidable duty 'of a sovereign. My conscience being at rest, I can look up to an omnipotent God, and . patiently await his award. With confidence I, leave my decision to the impartial judg ment, of contemporaneous and future generations. Of the approbation of my faithful subjects lam sure. More than -ten years ago the same enemy—violating international law and the usuages of war, and without any offence being 'given---entered the Lombardo-Venetian territOry_with. the Intent to acquire possession of it. Although the enemy was -twice defeated by my gallant army, and at the mercy °tithe victor, I behaved-generously, and proposed a - reconciliation. did not appropriate to myself one inch of hiS territory, I encroached on no right which belongs to the crown of Sar 'dinia, as one of thd members of the European family of - nations. • -I insisted on up guarantees against the recurtunee of similar events. The hand of peace which I in allsincerity extended, and- whicfi was taken, appeareu . to be a sufficient guarantee. The blood Which my army shed for the honour and right - of Austria I sacrificed on the altar.of peace. The reward for such unexampled 'forbearance was immediate continuation of enmity, which increased .from : year to year, and perfidious agitation against the peace and -welfare of niy Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. - Well know ing what a precious boon peace was for my people and for Europe, I patiently bore with those new hostilities. patience was not exhausted when the more extepsive measures -which was forced to take, in consequence of the -revolutionary agitation on the frontierS of my Italian provinces and within the same, were made an excuse for a higher - deg,ree of hostility. Willingly accepting the well meant mediation of friendly-Powers for the maintenance -of peace, I consented to become a party - to a congress of the five great Powers. The four points, proposed by the royal government of Great -Britain as 'a basis for 'the deliberations of the Congress, - were forwarded to my - Cabinet, and I accepted them with the cOnditions which were calculated to bring about a true, sincere, and durable peace. In_the consciousness that no step on the part of my Government could, even in the most remote degree, lead'to a disturbance of the peace, I demanded that the Power. which was the cause of the complication and had brought about *-the danger of war should, as a preliminary measure, disarm. - Being pressed thereto by friendly Powers, I at length accepted -the proposal 'for a general disarmament. The 'mediation failed in consequence of the •unacceptableness of the conditions on which Sardinia made her consent dependent. Only one means of maintaining peace remained. I addressed -myself directly to the Sardinian Government, and summoned it to place its army on a peace footing and to disband the free corps. As Sardinia did not accede to my demand the moment for deciding the matter by an appeal to arms has arrived. I have ordered my army to enter Sardinia. I am aware of the vast ituportance of the measure, and if ever my duties as a Monarch weighed heavily on me it is at this moment. War is the scourge of mankind. I see with sorrow that the lives and property of thousands of my subjects are imperilled, and deeply feel what a severe trial war is for my realm, which, being occupied with its internal development, greatly requires the continuance of peace. But the heart of the Monarch must be silent at the com mand of honour and duty. On the frontiers is an armed enemy who, in alliance with the revolutionary party, openly .announces his intention to obtain possession of the depen dencies of Austria and Italy. To 'support him, the ruler : over France, who under futile pretexts, interferes in the legallyestablished relations of the Italian peninsula,—has set his troops in movement. Detachments of have already crossed the frontiers of Sardinia. The Crown which I received without spot or blemish from my forefathers has already seen trying times. The glorious history of our country gives evidence that Providence, when there is a foreshadowing that the greatest good of humanity is in in danger of being -overthrown in Europe, has frequently used the sword of Austria in order to dispel that shadow. -We are again on the eve of such a period. The overthrow of the things that be is not. only aimed at by factions, but by Thrones. The sword which I have been forced to - draw is sanctified, inasmuch as it is a defence for the honour and _rights of all peoples and States, land for all that is held most dear by humanity. To you, my people, whose - devotion to the hereditary reigning family may serve as a model for all the nations of the earth, I now addresi myself. In the - conflict which has commenced you will stand by me with your oft-proved fidelity and devotion. To your sons, whom I have taken into the ranks of the army, I, their commander, send my martial greeting. With pride you may regard them, for the eagle of 'Austria will, with their support, soar high. Our struggle is a just one, and we begin it with courage and confidence. We hope, however, that we shall not stand alone in it. The soil on which we have to do battle was made fruitful by the blood lost by our Geiman brethren when they won those bulwarks which they have maintained up to the present day. There the crafty enemies of Germany 'have generally begun their game when they have wished to break her internal power. The feeling that such a danger is now imminent prevails in all parts of Germany, from the hul to the throne, from one frontier to the .other. I speak as E Sovereign member of the German Cofederation when I cal: attention to the common danger, and recall to memory the glorious times in - which Europe had to - thank the and fervent enthusiasth of Germany for its liberation For God and fatherland FRANCE. t ik , l ar im it , lB, - Sunday.—l do not perceive that the circu alte ol . - L e addressed by M.

A circular of Count Walewski, dated April 27, i.: published in the Moizz'teur. - The circular recalls the efforts towards peace made by England, RusSia, and Prussia, and facilitated by France, and then mentions the Austrian summons to Piedmont, and the protest of - the three Powers. It then explains why France has been obliged to take a more decided part. France, since half a century, has never pretended to exercise an interested influence in Italy, and it is not she, assuredly, who can be accused of having attempted to arouse the remembrance of ancient struggles and historical rivali ties. All that sbe,has hitherto asked for, and treaties agree with her wishes, is that the states of the (Italian) Peninsula should live for themselves, and manage their own affairs at home as well as in their foreign relations. lam not aware that a different view is taken at Loudon, Berlin, or St. Petersburgh than at Paris; however, it may be, circum stances have placed Austria towards the various Powers of -.).

TURIN, April 30.—A proclamation, of which the following is a full analysis, has been pladarded throughout the whole kingdom: Austria, while making proks:iions of a love of peace, at tack's us, and refuses the jurisdiction of an European Congress. She violates her promises made to England ; she asks us to reduce our army, and to abandon the brave volunteers who flocked from all parts of Italy to defend the sacred flag of Italian independence. I confile the government to my well-beloved cousin, and I resume my sword. The valiant troops of the Emperor Napoleon, my generous ally, will fight for liberty and justice, side by side with us _peoples of Italy. AnStriCaltacks - Piedmont for:having defended the cause -of our common country in the councils of Europe, and because she has not heel; deaf to your cries of conquest. Austria now openly tears up those treaties which she has never herself observed. The Italian nation is this day already free in point of right, and I may now conscientiously accomplish the vow I made upon the tomb of my august Father. Let us confide in Providence ! in our Union ! in the valour of Italian soldiers ! and in the Alliance of the noble rench nation ! Let us rely upon the justice of public opinion ! I have no other ambition than that of being the first oldier of Italian independence. Viva Be (Signed) 'VICTOR EMMANUEL. ITIE MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. The following is the manifesto of the Emperor of Austria to his army : ' - - I have given.orders .to my brave and faithful army to put an end to the attacks which a neighbouring state (Sardinia) has been, for several years past, in the habit of making upon the undoubted rights of my crown and the integrity of the empire confided to me by Divine PioOdence. The Emperor goes on to speak of the horrors of war, but says that the monarch must repress the impulses of his heart when honour and duty call upon Lim to march, when an armed enemy is upon his frontiers, united with all those sub versive parties whose object is to appropriate the Austrian states of Italy to themselves; and when the Sovereign of France, meddling ,under a . frivolous pretext with the affairs of the Italian peninsula, is sending troops to the succour of our enemies After an impassioned appeal to the patriotism of Austria, the manifesto concludes in these words : We hope not to remain isolated in this contest. The t . re about to fight is steeped in the blood That country was conquered and has been maintained as such to soil on wino NI of our brothers of Germany as a German rampart this day. It is arrays upon that ground that the most dangerous enemies of Germany commence their attempts to destroy its internal power.

AMERICA Owing to the late hour at which the Canada's mails were delivered, we were unable to publish the following in our first edition yesterday . morning : . Puerto Cabello advices of the 2nd ultimo are received. The country was in a state of revolution. General Garvaez had. been routed by Pinto, and some negroes killed. General Garvaez had a force of 500 men, but was short of arms.. Gen. Zamora had plundered San Filipe of $lOO,OOO worth of . property.. Puerto Cabello was in arms, and the stores closed half of the time. Troops were landing frontthe east. By the arrival at New York of the schooner F. Taft, Captain Bunker, from Savannah la Mar., Jam., which port she left March 27th, we learn that the insurrection among the negroes had been put down.

No testimony for the defence was offered, nor any cross-examination of witnesses for Government. It was proved by the testimony of Lieut. Carpenter, Coxswain Monaghan, and Captain Marfitt, of the U.S. brig Dolphin, and by other parties, that the negroes on board the Echo were founsd in a very distressed and suffering con dition) that,Capt. Townsend was a native of New port, R.I. ; that the condition of the• vessel, when captured, was extremely filthy, and that the charts found in possession of the Captain had marked upon them, in pencil, a continuous line from the coast of Africa to the point of her capture.
