It was issued on Wednesday, and states, that the Emperor visited the King on th e previous day, at OcCimiaino, that the Austrians occupy the right bank of the Po, as far as Castel Sam Giovani, and that their force is 12,000 strong. The fOrtifications of the Bridge of Stella, for the purpose of protecting the retreat of, the Austrians, still continue. It acids, that an order of the King has been issued, mentioning the names of those who signalised themselves in the first military operations. The Times has received and published another letter, from its special correspondent at the head-quarters of the Austrian army, which is reported to be in a high state of discipline. General Benedek had ordered two men to be shot, for stealing property worth only a few francs.. Good feeling exists between the soldiery and the Pied montese peasantry_ Two or three small gangs of marauders had put on imitations of the Austrian uniform, and then commenced plundering. The spirits of the Austrian army are said to be excellent. The start which British diplomacy secured for Franco,- together with the inundations, rendered a dash at Turin utterly impracticable. The battle field will probably be near Mortara, or, at all events, between the Sesia and the Ticino. The Vienna letter of the Times says the Austrians are not likely to make any movement of importance. till the Emperor and Baron Hess reach the camp. The Turin letter of the Macs says, as the Austrians_ do not mean to attack, the allies have no motive to assume the offensive till their preparations are complete. The Weiner Zeitunq publishes an official statement, which says It s Imperial Majesty, by a letter addressed to c ount isuoi and in com pliance to the Count's request, has graciously relieved that minister from the duties of the eoffieehitherto held by him, with the fullest acknowledg ment of his services rendered as Minister oc o hber g) is State. The President of the Federal Diet (it appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs and for the Imperial Household, in place of Count Buol. The Paris Moniteur of yesterday contains a telegram from the Emperor Napoleon, from head-quarter s at Alessandria, in which he states that he went on Monday to yalerma, to visit the position o f the French vanguard and the courses of the Po. The weather had become better. Orders have been sent to Baron Gros, the French Ambassador in China, instructing him to return to France. The French Government have received information that four Russian corps de armee have moved towards the Austrian frontier. The .Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company's steamer City of Washington arrived at 'Queenstown, at half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, and after landing • 120 : passen gers, proceeded onto this port, where she will arrive this morning.

One writer at Washington, remarks It is . certain English statesmen are greatly alarmed, and the wisest are unable to. see to. what terrible issues the present complications are to lead." In business matters there had been no material change. The Cotton Market was quiet at New York, and at New Orleans operations were suspended, under the influence of the last European. news. • • • At the County Court, y es t er d ay , an ac ti on was tr i e d arising out of the " scramble " for coats and other clothing, which took place at St. George's Hall, in January last, on the occasion of the Burns Centenary.

In addition to other and more immediate causes of apprehension, the attitude of Germany is beginning to be.. a source of. anxiety. ,tr Cqmmerce," says'a German letter ‘i ha's already begun to suffer by the approach of war ; and manufacturers,, not being able to sell their productions, have had to dismiss part of their workmen. The works of the railway on the left bank of the Rhine are continuing, ;but the fate'of the Rhine-Nahe line is doubtful, the Chamber of Nobles having refused to sanction the loan voted by the Chamber of Deputies." And we must expect similar accounts to this from various other quarterS: = The attitude of Germany, in particular, - May well create anxiety ; ' for with all the desire which it is known that Prussia has to preserve not only her own but a German neutrality, it is becom ing evident that there will be the greatest difficulty in doing so. From the Prince Regent of Prussia's address to the Diet; at the close of its: session few days since, it would seem next to impossible that Germany -can long remain Inactive. Not only did the Regent intimate that " the serious position of affairs demanded the placing of the army on a war footing, which measure it was also found necessary to extend to the marine service;" but, he proceeded to declare, "Prussia is determin.ed to .maintain the basis of European public right and the balance of power in Europe. It is Prussia's right and duty to stand up for the security, the protection, and the national interests of Germany, and she will not resign the assertion of these her prerogatives. Prussia expects that all the German confederate' Powers will stand firmly by her side in the its I fulfilment of .that mission, and trusts that her readiness to def ltherland will merit their confidence cow this does not look like the continuance of German neutrality It would be next .to impossible for Prussia to " maintain-the basis of European public right and the balance of power in Europe," and for Germany to " stand firmly by her side in the fulfilment of that mission," and yet remain at peace. Gerthany, Austria; Sardinia, France, Italy, all engaged in war together, undoubtedly the -quite the reverse. Sinews of war" must become more and more valuable, because more and more unattainable, • English money, the re f ore , if it s possessors are wise, —to say nothing about their being patriotic,- 7 will be kept _at home, to be ready for home use, which may be the safest, as well as most propet use for it, and not locked up in foreign loans, 'which may not only-be-applied to most undesirable objects, but may perhaps never have the chance of -being repaid at all. the Palmerstonian stamp, to direct against him, as we know that they spring from a foregone con clusion.' The object of these men is to enthrone their master in the - supremacy on some question of foreign policy, because they are aware that his pretensions as a Reformer are so equivocal that there is no possibility of transferring the sceptre into his hands on that issue." Lord PALMERSTON, then, is the " coming man." He is to be the pilot to weather the storm,—taking it for granted,: of course, that a storm there is to be. But the organ of the advanced Liberals sincerely hopes they " will not lend themselves to solitiful and suicidal a juggle as this." Poi-, in the first place, the immediate effect of it would be, to Shelve Reform ; while, in the nest place, observes our out spoken contemporary, "we should like to know, before abandoning in this cowardly and , ignoble fashion the 'hopes which the country has so long cherished, what are we to gain in the direction of our foreign policy by so good- a sacrifice in our domestic policy." And then it was shown, that we should gain, in that yespect, nothing but a loss, — and the notion that was being so adroitly put forth in certain quarters, that had Lord PALMERSTON only been in power there would have been no war, wasniost successfully exposed, by pointing :out how plainly the antecedents of the noble ex-Premier render such a conclusion most improbable,—the amusing tactic of the admirers of the noble lord being at the same time happily remarked upon, as that of those " who have been accustomed most loudly to crack him up as emphatically the war minister, finding that the tide of public opinioll is at present setting in strongly against war, turn round, and with the coolest audacity assure us, that hi special merits are. those of a peace minister !" No British Minister, it was shown; has done so much for war, during the last •giutrter of a, c'entury, as this very Lord PALMERSTON. And a long extract was given from a speech of Mr ROEBUCK'S, some Sixteen years ago, in which he wound up by declaring., that since so ninch hostile interference in foreign affairs had been practised by him, and such disastrous wars,, in various quarters, had followed, he "looked with suspicion upon every argument and every fact' that Might be adduced by the noble lord and those around him, in vindication of the mis chievous activity which he _ has , displayed in perplexing and distracting our foreign relations." Damning proof this, most assuredly, of the unfitness of such a statesman for the helm of such a State as England, at- so fearful a- moment as the present. " This," said the Star, " was spoken in .1843; and the singularity of the case is, that it might have been spoken again with Urmost .equal accuracy it 1807 ;:for .in the interval between'tliose two . dates !the noble lord, with rare ingenuity, had actually contrived to travel over, a second time, nearly the whole of the above circle of mischief. It is for the country to say," our contemporary concluded by observing ; " whether a statesman, of whom such a portraiture is a perfectly accurate and faithful likeness, is the man to be entrusted with the fate of England at such a crisis as this. Shall we put the lucifer match' at the Foreign-Office, at the moment when the whole atmosphere of Europe is deeply charged with electricity ?" We think that among the sober-minded people of England, be they of what party they may, there 'can be but one answer to such a question. MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES THE Government of. the United States is often taunted with its covetous -desires for " annexation." And it cannot be denied, that it has sometimes given occasion for such a ` reproach. Its recent' conduct, and its present policy, as respects Cuba, cannot but idea, that. it seeks,to obtain acquisitions of territory in an inordinate spirit. The slight pains, too, it has taken, at any time, to repress effectually filibustering expeditions into distant portions of the American Continent, taking advantage of the distraction and weakness of the respectiVe Govern ments, is another apparent ground of such an impuz tation. But as respects Mexico, from which courittv favour the its most extensive and important acquisitions of territory have been got, one really-dannot much wonder that it should have been deprived:of such enormous portions of its land, and thereby so immensely crippled in its resources, when 111 the circumstances are considered, not only of its people's utter unworthiness to be the possessors of so rich a countr provisional authority; and in a short time that body concluded a treaty of peace with the Government of the United States. By this war New Mexico and California became settled- and recognised territories of the United States. But this work of acquisition in. Mexico is appar ently not yet completed. The Mexicans are becoming almost more troublesome neighbours than ever, while their Government seems quite incapable of restraining them. There is still a rather power ful party in the country violently adverse to the republic, which has never, in fact, been brought into any condition of established order and 'stability. The Church," as the Roman-Spanish oligarchy there is called, leads on the opposition to republican rule. And by the last American mail we learn, that " the fury of the Church of Mexico has been let loose, and the horrors of the Inquisition and the merciless war of the Colonial Generals against the first patriots of the Mexican revolution are hourly re-enacted." This,, it must be admitted, is the language of excitement and alarm. But it would really seem that - there was only too much cause for it. "We all (that is foreigners)," says a letter from the city of Mexico, "live in fear, for *no one can say when 'his hour of assassination may not come. We have seen in the past few days such scenes of barbarous assassination that we tremble to hear who shall be the next victim of fiendish fanaticism. The natural sensibilities of the human beings have been stultified by the barbarities of the Church and Army clique of this capital. They have shot in cold blood, without judge, jury, or even a drum head court-martial, over seventy-five persons (some say over one hundred), most of whom were quiet and inoffensive citizens : and foreign':residents in Mexico. Our alarm is intensified th. that the French Minister encourages these bloodthirsty - acts, and the British Minister, over ruled by his Spanish wife, does not rai .1 the voic of a civilized nation, which he represents, against these attrocities, unequalled by • the Sepoys." We shall not now go into the . case as respects these representatives of our own Government and that of France. If their conduct be as it is described, in several different accounts of the transaction, all we can say is, that they are utterly unworthy of their posts, and will no doubt be immediately recalled. But our present object is simply to glance for a moment at the position of Mexico in relation to the United States. This dreadful commotion in Mexico is a state of civil . war of the, -most furious and sanguinary character. The two enraged factions that, are pitted against each other, are the Centralists and the Fecteralists,—the former basing . thernsOli7es On the old and oppressive system of Mexican absolutism, and including in their ranks, not unnaturally, the priesthood, or, as they call it, the church ; the other composed of those who are of liberal principles, and seek for a federal union. The latter are sustained by public opinion ; and they of course have the sympathy of the United. States, the Government of which, indeed, have gone so far as to recognise the Government of the federal chieftain, JUAREZ, which is styled the Constitutional Government. Thus " two authorities are up, neither supreme." And the consequence is, as one of the American papers but too frilly describes it—" the civil war in that republic is rapidly degenerating into a war of anarchy and mutual butchery that is a disgrace to the age. The slaughter of prisoners and innocent victims by the Centralists at Tacubaya is the most disgusting narrative it has been our duty to publish for a long time, and the murder of the surgeons, whose only mission in war is to mitigate the suffer ings of its victims, gives to the picture a peculiarly Spanish air of barbarity." Another American journal, after attributing the recent defeat of the Federalists to collusion and treachery, says of it— " This business despatched, a second and gratuitous tragedy succeeded. The,victorious army, stimulated by the priests, commenced an indiscriminate slaughter of .non-combatants, physicians in attendance upon the wounded, and foreigners, wherever they were found in the valley of Mexico, and only ceased the massacre for the lack of further victims. Such is Mexican warfare, and such its triumphs. A specthcle of blacker treason and corruption on the one side, and of more heartless truculence on the other, is not to be found in history. It may reasonably strengthen whether a people so demoralised deserves to be longer trusted with the faculty of self-governmerit." This, then, is the question. That they do not deserve to be trusted with any power whatever, is too plain to be disputed. And as there were the dou American citizens among the recent victims of Mexican vengeance, and American property, as well as life, has been sacrificed, there is evidently occasion arising for an interference on the part of the United States which may not improbably lead to the further extension of their territory, from the Rio Grande to the shores of the Gulf, on the one hand, and those of the Pacific on the other. The Globe states that Mr. Charles Greville has resigned the office of Clerk to the Council, and that Lord Rober Cecil, M.P. for Stamford, is to succeed him, and the vacancy of Stamford is to be filled by Mr. James Stuart Wortley, It has been arranged that each corps d' armee shall be composed of three French divisions and, a Sardinia n division, under th e comman d o f a Marshall of France, in order to give unity to the operations. In the Spanish Cortes, the debates exhibit ardent sympathy for the Italian cause. Admiral Thornton, one of the directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, who had been out to Alexandria in the Ripon for a trip, was suddenly missed, having no doubt accidentally fallen overboard.

The F r i ti Government, instead of allowing the decree to rim ull .„,•eat g latter part of this year, has suddenly ordered it to ter.: es ceo on the Ist proximo, and it is expected that, in conse ( l l ',. the United States contract packets must rendeziTs''o4 Southampton instead of at Havre, and French g° ° " o ptol l passengers be conveyed to and from Havre and South 3 f tbi g in the small Southampton steamers.

Sardinia has had to borrow before her armaments could be provided ; and it is expected that more money will have to be raised immediately, if the war goes on. And France also has to borrow as much as twenty millions sterling, which there has been no difliculty whatever in doing. As we see it remarked, " the spectacle which the capital of that country has presented within the last few days is probably unexampled in the history of States The Govern• ment announced a loan of twenty milliong sterling, and appealed to the people at large to furnish 'the same, intimating its willingness to take amounts as as ten francs. The loan was hardly opened when the offices were besieged with subscribers ; and in less than a week we learn that the subscriptions amounted to three times the sum required." This is certainly characteristic of France. We very much question if, at the present moment, anything but a war could have had the effect of producing so instan taneous a practical response to an appeal for so large a sum of money in that country, pretty well drained as it was already, for various public purposes. Then there are neighbouring and neutral Powers, driven by the force of this war to have recourse also to the borrowing system. They require to be pre pared to stand on the defensive; and to do this, they must have the sinews of war The necessary strength and compactness cannot be given to the precautions nsable for their protection and defence, with- indispe out there are the sinews Prussia has found. herself under the nece ssity of applying to the Chambers for authority to contract 6. new loan—which has been readily granted. " The money supplies demanded by the Government," said the account, " were unani mously voted with many expressions -of confidence and' all the speakers were anti-Napoleonic, and in favour of German nationalit —of which German nationality, more anon. Then there is Russia, too, driven to the expedient of borrowing, —apply _ a loan of twelve millions sterling, which, however, she is so far unable to obtain. Now all this shows ho* much the monied classes —how much, indeed, the people generc in their power to put a stop to war, and warlike preparations, if they would only resolve to withhold the means. If the belligerent Powers who have plunged Europe, on this occasion, into all the horrors of war, had found that they could not raise the funds that were required for it—that the sinews of war were not to be obtained they would, in all probability, have desisted from their criminal purpose. -have it England is a proud exception to this general borrowing for the purposes of war, and war-like precautions. There is no idea of our Government being obliged to come into the market for a loan. Our regular revenue, augmented, of course,. to meet the emergency, will be sufficient to answer all that may be demanded for putting this country into a complete state of defence,—and nothing more than this is apprehended." "We cannot hold out to Our monied men," said a London contemporary, a day or two since, "the hope that our Government will descend into the field and compete with their neighbours on the Continent for a loan. But this is certain, that the demand for money, which the all devouring maw of war creates, will have a corre sponding effect upon securities of all kinds whatever. Our own stocks and railway shares, the market for our colonial securities, cannot remain tranquil, while all the money markets on the Continent are in boiling excitement. There will be plenty of demand for gold in England, and at remunerative rates. We put it, therefore, to our men of capital, whether it would be wise to trust their money in the hands of those foreign Governments who, tinder the pressure of war, are making such convulsive efforts to clutch it, when they can more usefully and safely employ it at home." One might hope, surely, that a patriotic feeling would restrain our monied men from lending their capital for such criminal objects, at so critical a conjuncture as the present. Self-interest ought to do it, if public spirit will not, Not only will there, we are persuaded, be plenty of opportunity ere long of profitably employing all their money at home, but their own security in other respects may perchance depend upon its being forthcoming, The prospects of Europe are already somewhat alarming, even in a Aaancial and commercial poi& THE PROSPECTIVE MINISTRY, THE results of the General Election appear to be by no means such as to render the return of a Liberal Ministry to office either very improbable or very distant. The country, it is considered, in. the Councils of the great Liberal party, has certainly not pronounced against those popular principles which have been so decidedly in the ascendant in several successive Parliament% The balance of the gains, it is true, is somewhat on the other side—that of the losses is on theirs. But this has not excluded any of their leaders from the new House of Commons. RUSSELL. and PALMERSTON, BRIGHT and COBDEN, GREY and WOOD, GRAHAM and CARDWELL, HALL and ROEBUCK—these, and such as these—all the foremost men, indeed, of the Liberal ranks, will again be there to call the present Ministry to account ; and with what decisive effect, we shall no doubt soon see. The Liberal majority in the new House is still estimated at upwards of fifty—kceping the Liberal calculation quite within bounds. ' So th may take that whenever a trial of party streng —as take place it must very soon after the House gets fairly to work—there can scarcely avoid, one could think, being a Liberal triumph. But the worst of it is, for the interests of the com bined Liberal majority, that there are variances, not so much with respect to the mode of proceeding, as with regard to the chieftain under whose Ministerial banner they are subsequently to be ranged. All are agreed, we believe, that the war is to be carried at once into the enemy's calq, Nor is there to lie any nervous diffidence or timidity about it. There is no disputing as ,to who is t0.," - bell the cat." Half a hundred valiant combatants are quite ready to stand forth, and risk all the danger. There is no difficulty at all, we belieire, on that score. The Ministry is to be overthrown—that is quite settled. Bui it is not settled, we repeat, who is to be the conquering hero that is to push Lord DERBY from his stool, and, triumphantly seat himself th ereon i n th e deposed Premier's stead The formidable difficulties, and the deplorable dissensions, which are already foreseen to prevail upon ti its most important practical , question, were very forcibly pointed Out, a clay or two since, by our able and independent metropolitan contemporary, the Star. " We think there can be little doubt," it was observed, " that there are intrigues on foot, having for their object the installation of Lord PALMERSTON, first as leader of the Liberal party, and then as the Prime Minister of a so-called Liberal Government. It is not improbable that when Par liament meets the noble lord will try to forestall Lord JOHN RUBS LL, and make a dash at the leader ship by an early notice of motion on some point of foreign policy, designed to test the strength of parties in the House. And if he should succeed by such means in overturning the present Ministers, it is expected that, according to the ordinary rules of etiquette followed on such occasions, he will ha'OeCto be sent for, and so the destinies of England be placed at this perilous crisis in his hands. There is an obvious preparation on the part of the small . but active clique who follow his fortunes for some coup d'etat of this sort." Now, of course, this comes from a quarter that is Liberal in the foremost degree. The journal is one that is a special organ of, the advanced Liberals— enjoys the ' confidence of their leaders, and is entrusted with the advocacy of their interests. We do not think that Mr. BRIGHT him self could be a better authority on such a matter as this. And see how the modus operandi is already being set in motion. " A dead set," our fearless contem porary continued, " is made in a marked and especial manner against Lord MALMESBURY, and intimations thrown out that, if another great and experienced diplomatist had been at the helm of affairs, Europe would have been safely piloted out of its recent perils without the calamity of war. It is not for us to undertake a vindication of the present occupant of the Foreign Office; but we must candidly avow that we are no way moved by the violent tirades svbick it is the fashion, on the part of politicians of but of their insufferable mis- chievousness and cruelty as neighbours And the evil has groWn worse; since their revolt from Spain. Ever since the establishment of republican govern ment iri Mexico, in 1824, it 'haS certainly been a . most unjust and injurious confine to the United States. Impoverished by civil wars, she did not hesitate to replenish her treasury by even plundering American vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, or by confiscating the property of American merchants within its borders. It was, hi vain that the United States Government remonstrated, until, in 1831, a treaty was formed, and promises of redress were obtained. This, however, was of little real avail. Aggression still continued to be made ; ' and in 1840, the American claims for losses sustained by citizens of the United `States, through the acts of outrage and injustice committed by the Mexicans, amounted, it was computed, to upwards of six millions of dollars, or nearly a million and a-quarter of pounds sterling. One of the first eventual results of this state of things, was the annexation of Texas. The Mexican war of 1845 followed, provoked by the hostile attitude which Mexico had assumed, and the injuries and annoyances the Mexicans were commit ting on the frontiers. The issue of this war was the conquest of Northern Mexico, and the further and still more valuable acquisition of California. Hostil ities, however, did not yet cease. The Mexican authorities having scorned all overtures for peace offered by the Government of the United States, the latter determined on, making an effort to conquer the whole country. To this end they opened the war of 1846-7—General Scott directing his march at I once for the Mexican capital. Vera Cruz was soon taken on the way, and the near neighbourhood of the capital, after several minor conquests, was reached, when SANTA ANNA gave them battle near Churubusco, which ended, after a fearful conflict, in the discomfiture of the Mexicans ; and after several other contests, in which the United States forces had decidedly the advantage, the capital fell into their hands, and they there took formal possession of the Mexican empire. SANTA ANNA was stripped by his own Government of every commission. The Presi dent of the Mexican Congress was allowed to assume LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
