People are beginning to wonder at the continued inaction of the French army, and to, feel surprised that the evident ambition of the Emperor Napoleon to follow so closely in the footsteps of his uncle should be confined to such puerilities as to use the same bed, the same washhand basin, and to pitch his - tent upon the same spots. A little of that activity which made Melas doubt whether he stood on his head or his heels, diove Beaulieu and Alvinzi out of their senses, and the Austrians out of Italy, would not be amiss. Here are four days since both armies have taken an opportunity of showing the world and their commanders what stuff they were made of, but neither Marshal Gyulai nor the Emperor seem to take the hints. This inaction may be good generalship—pru dence is always respectable—but it is a virtue the French do not appreciate, and it is not surprising that there should be grumbling both in the camp, where the soldiers' spirit s are damped by inaction, while his body is drenched by the rain, and in the faubourgs here, where the simple-minded ouvriers won't understand that one Emperor should be unlike another. The lioniteur to-day also furnishes a topic for the ill-natured to comment upon. It is gratifying to know that the Emperor continues well, and that the weather is improving, but the relatives and friends of the officers belonging to the regiments engaged, are anxious to know whether a son, a brother, or a husband may not be among the killed and wounded. Such details might without any danger have been sent by telegraph, and would have been gratefully accepted. The Patric this evening gives a few details, which I should be very sorry to vouch for. I lay them before you as I find them :--- The Austrians commenced the attack at eleven a.m., and fighting continued uninterrupted for six hours. The Austrian force was the elite of General Gyulai's army—picked Croatian infantry and Tyrolean Chasseurs: Here is a curious detail : The Emperor of Austria arrived at Milan on the 19th ; he was at Pavia on the night which preceded the. battle. The Emperor Francis Joseph only waited for a success to take the command of, his army. The official de'spatch . from Vienna, which we published yesterday, states, by way of accounting for the tetirement of the Austrian forces behind the Po, that the French had an overwhelming numerical superiority. We are in a position to state that only 5,000 French and one regiment of cavalry were engaged. Prince Napoleon left Genoa last night on hoard the Reine Hortense, for Leghorn. Before his departure,' the Patrie . informs us that on hearing of the combat at Montebello he immediately detached ten surgeons from his corps and - sent them on to head-quarters. The Government have sent a communique to the And de la Religion, - contradicting the statement of that paper that the Bavarian Minister had received orders to hold himself in readiness to leave Paris. BATTLE OF MONTEBELLO. TURIN, May 21.—At last there has been a fight. You have, doubtless, already received the bulletins of the affair. Montebello, which seems to have been the principal scene of this combat, is a small village, situate about, six miles to the north-east of Voghera. It was there (and between it and easteggio) that Launes won his glorious, but gallantly contested,. victory over the Austrians, on the 9th of June, 1800 klthough the _bulletin is niggardly in details, we may infer from it various things which it does not explicitly state. The combat is described as " furious ;" but, considering that, besides the Sardinian cavalry, a French division was -engaged,. and that the: ime the fighting lasted is stated at six hours, we are hardly justified in believing the engagement to have been of a very desperate nature when we find the casualties of the allies limited to about 500 killed and wounded. . The Austrians appear, in the first, instance, Jo- have taken Montebello from the Sardinians, and to have been afterwards expelled from the village by the French, and it was probably among its lanes and houses that the two hundred prisoners were made by the latter. The bulletin wisely abStains from guessing at the amount of the ' Austrian loss, and limits itself to stating it as very conside rable (notevolissime), au expresSiOn which means nothing because an army almost invariably. believes • its op ponent to have suffered more than itself, and the bulletin of the trifling skirmish at Frassinetto assured us that the Austrians had there suffered greatly, , whereas we - have since learned that their total loss was nine killed and wounded, or. , about one-half, of .that of the Piedmontese. - The number of field .officers killed and wounded yesterday on the sidenf the Frentlyand Sardinians is 'nine, including a general killed. This seems a large, proportion out , of a total of 500 casualties ; but ilsome of the Tyrolean jaspers were there it,would - easily be accounted' for by the well known deadly accuracy of their-fire. I have no knOwledge of the composition of General Forey's diviSion';' -but the name of one of the colonels wounded, De Bellefonds, is that of a lieutenant-colonel, of the Zouaves 'of the Guard, who. was at Chalons camp in 1857. The object of the Austrians in throwing forward these 12,000 men and. engaging in combat, must probably remain matter of conjecture, until elucidated by your correspondent at their head 'quarters. It may haVe been intended merely to engage the attention of the Allies, while certain movements in retreat. were effected by the bulk of the army. Or it may have been meant to give a serious check 'tothe corps 'of Marshal . Baraguay d'lfilliers in its advance towards the Austrian left and in the direction of Piacenza ; but' for the attainment of this latter object • the force employed seems rather small. On these matters you will probably be enlightened sooner than we'shall be in Tnrin, where no 'reliable: inforrnation can be obtained respecting the proceedings of the. Austrians. The report in town this afternoon is that fighting is going on to-day. •It is said' that an advance of our 'whole line has taken place. Late to-night, or to-morrow morning: we shall probably know what_ is really taking place, and any important events will reach you by,telegraph. I have laid down a rule against accepting or writing to you rumours of which I have no authentic confirmation. Yesterday's affair is mag,nified here into an important battle, and, in the excitement thus produced, exaggerations and imagina tive histories are likely to ,be unusually current. It does not appear, hoWever, at all improbable that the combat of Montebello may prove to have been but the prelude to a serious engagement. Lord Stratford de Redelfffe arrived here yesterday. This afternoon's Gazette contains the following notice or proclamation The Government of :his Majesty the King,of Sardinia has already publicly declared that, in the conduct of the present war, it wouldle guided - by those principles of moderation , and huipanity which do honour to modern -times, although the violence and rapine of all kinds committed by the Austrian army in our territory may give it the right to use • reprisals. The King's Government, which contributed fo the decla ration of maritime right, made by the Congress of Paris, the 16th of April, 1856, has also manifested its intention of scrupulously observing its prescriptions. Desiring now, in the interest of nations and of trade, to renew those- aasurances in a more explicit manner, it declares that Austrian:subjects now in the Royal States may continue their residence there as long as their conduct gives no grounds for • offence. 2. The entrance into the Royal States shall be conceded to those Austrian subjects who shall obtain special and previous authorisation from - the Kint,r's Government. • 3. Privateering is interdicted. 4. The neutral flag covers the enemy's merchandise, except contraband of war. • 5. The merchandise of neut rals shall.not be captured under the enemy's flag, except contraband of war. 6. Blockades must be effective. • Finally, the King's Government, having intelligence that the. Austrian frigate Novara has undertaken a voyage of . circumnavigation in the interests of science, declares that she shall be exempted from the law of capture during her voyage, and that the proper instructions to this effect have already been given to the royal navy. As to the capture of the Austrian ships on which an embargo was laid; his Majesty's c4Mllllllent -has declared THE NORTHERN TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25 1859 that it re.erv6,s its decision , which will hereafter be made known. Public functionaries who had left Vercelli in consequence of the Austrian invasion, are recalled to their posts.' The service of the railway and telegraph between Turin and Vercelli is resumed on its former footing. NON-INTERVENTION MEETING, AT MANCHESTER ADDRESS OF M. LOUIS KOSSUTH Last (Tuesday) evening, a Non-intervention meetiog - was held in' the large room of the Free Trade-hall, Manchester. Every part of the building, with the exception of the gallery (for admission to which is was charged), was crowded to excess. The chair was occupied by G. Wilson., Esq., and a great many of the leading men of Manchester and the district were on the platform. The Chairman having made a brief speech he introduced M. Kossuth, who was loudly cheered. After the cheering had subsided, M; Kossuth said: We . lived in stirring times, and he (M. Kossuth) believed that he had arrived at a period of his life which might call on him very soon to fulfil great duties in his own country (hear, hear, and cheers), for his country must soon unfurl her banner. Francis Joseph of Austria, had now got a great war on hand, which bad commenced in Italy, but it would extend itself through other portions of the Austrian country. This war was one for which he had long addressed his prayers to the Father of Mankind, inasmuch as he believed it would result in the emancipatron of his own dear nation, as well as other oppressed nationalities. He had heard it said that he (M. Kossuth) should not interfere in this matter of non intervention by England, because it was a domestic question. He defied any man to say . that he had ever, since his residence in this country, interfered with its domestic affairs. And with regard to the non-intervention of England in thii war, he appealed to the people of England whether it was not his own domestic question. (Cheers.) The only fear that he (M. Kossuth) had was that England would interfere with his (Hungary's) domestic affairs-by taking the part of Austria. (Cheers.) There was no doubt in his mind that at the present moment there were influences at work for the purpose of entangling Enc.d, in the present war, which had just commenced. He said this because he had never heard it said that France had any claim upon the sympathies of England, but he had heard it said, and even by a member of the government in the House of Parliament, that Austria had strong claims upon • A- a- rie +ha Vrariph England. (Cheers.) As to tne ranperur ut ttte 1: exicti attacking England, he (M. Kossuth) repudiated the idea of any such thing. Ile (the Ernperor)•had lived long enough in this island to know that England with her inexhaustible purse and resources was not to oe trinea with. (Cheers.) He (the Emperor) also knew, that if he attacked England, he would not only have to do with an army, but a whole and united nation,—(cheers) --every man of which would rise and proclaim every inch of him a hero. (Renewed applause). .:England never did and never should be humbled at the proud foot of any country in the world. (Immense cheering.) She was not attacked when her fleet and her army was called to India to quell the great mutiny there. True, they. were away from her, but her people were at home: (Cheers.) And now he (M. Kossuth) did not hesitate to say that England would not be attacked'nnlesishe herself chose to plunge headlong into the war. His prayer was that she would not interfere in any way, and, especially, that she should not lend her aid to despotic, priest-ridden, and bankrupt Austria. (Cheers.) After alluding to the fact of Admirals having been sent to the Mediterranean. with sealed orders,--to the refusal of H.M.S. Orion refuiing to move out of the way of the French army being landed at Genoa, to another of H.M.S. ships refusing to salute the flag of Tuscany, and to a desire on the part of the English. government that the shores of Dalmatia should be considered neutral ground,—he (M. Kossuth) said all this showed symptoms of a wish to favour 'Austria, to say the least, if not something more. Indeed, Fn crin nri* intorfprAnne rAsneetinf_ , Dalmatia had already, it was said, led to an angry correspondence between her Majesty's government and that of the French, and without great care it might lead her further. It might lead her 1 A.l A. • • r“,•1 ant 1 fnr 1•1113 Into a •tri4nuol. uillt LIIi/L - wicked object of saving the house of Austria. He believed that the people of England abhorred the idea of lending their hands to such an object as this,—(ebeers) therefore, it was her people's duty to raise their united voice against it. (Oheem.)• -There was not, however, any fear of England interfering, so long as the war was confined to Italy. He hoped, also, that - she would not interfere if it extended, as he (K. Kossuth) believed it would, to Hungary ; she did not want England to fight for her. All that Hungary wanted was, that England should ,not be her enemy. (Loud cheers.) He then alluded to. what had been said with respect to , Louis Napoleon's intentions of freeing Italy, while he was a despotic ruler in his • own country, and said that, under any circumstances, the despotie• rule of Austria was so bad, that of France in Italy could be no Worse.

VIENNA, May 21.—The Austrian head-quarters have been removed from Mortara to Garlasco, and the news that a retro grade movement has been made, induces the public to believe that the army is about to return to Lombardy. As the resources of the western part of Sardinia are almost ex hausted, it is by no means .improbable that Count Gyulai will soon recross the Ticino, but for the moment he is likely to remain on the right bank of the river. A day or two ago a reconnaissance was made with five brigades in the direction of Basignana and Sale, and the Austrian commander acquired the certainty that the gros of the French army had quitted its positions at Alessandri, Novi, and Tortona, and was mov ing, by way of Bobbio, on the Tiebbia, in the direction of Piacenza. Large bodies of Austrian troops were imme diately sent across the Po to Stradella and Castel St. Giovanni, which towns are on the high road from Voghera to Piocenza,, and it is here fully expected that a battle will be fought on the right bank of the river, pro bably in the neighbourhood of St. Giulietta, within a day or two. By the foreign papers I see that people are ,of opinion the French will march " straight" into Parma, but the thing is much more easily said than done. The country between Voghera in the west, Stradella in the north, and and the Tidore in the east, is extremely mountainous, and the only good road (high road) leading from Sardinia to Parma is that which passes through Stradella, Castel St. Giovanni, and Piacenza. A short time ago General M'Mahon might perhaps had effected something if he had advanced against Piacenza, but, as matters now stand, a flank movement would be attended with great danger. The Austrians are now in force on the line of the Po between Pavia and Piacenza, and would hardly fail to give their adversaries a lesson which would make them, less enterprising for the future. The foregoing information will enable you to understand why, Count Gyulai so suddenly removed his head-quarters to Garlasco, which and consequently nearer the expected scene of action. The Sardinian telegram relative to the destruction of the bridge over the Sesia is to the south of, ',Mortara correct as is the statement that the . Austrians have evacu ated Vercelli. It has rained very heavily during the last day or two in Sardinia and Lombardy, but on the whole the health of the troops is good. The Austrian soldiers are delighted with the new thorn gun, which is said to be an extremely effective weapon. As the French and Sardinian papers are not likely to make mention of such matters, it may be well to mark that twc Sardinian officers of rank were killed a few days ago, on ; the right bank of the Sesia, The poor fellows, who were at the head of their men, were picked off by two men belonging to the Kaiser-Jager. On the lab instant, a man, whO had been near Vex:eelli condemned to death for attempting to debauch , the Austrian treeps; was pardoned when at the place of execution.' To the great disgust •of the Italian refugees in the Canton Tessin, Colonel Bontoms has prevented their making an attempt to revolutionise the people on this side of the frontier of Lombardy. The • commander of the Federal troops has also seized sundry chests of guns and barrels of powder, which were to have been smuggled across the frontier The Swiss Federal Council has given orders to construct fortifications at Gondo, for the defence of the Sim plon. The Swiss Government desired that the Lago Mag giore should be declared neutral, but the Austrian Govern ment declined to accept the proposition. We learn from Berne that the new Tuscan Government has refused to Hermit Swiss recruits to go through the' Grand Duchy to Naples General Von Alemann has made known to the inhabitants of Venice, that twelve shots fired at Fort St. George will be the signal that "some important military event" is about to take plan M soon as the signal is. given, all civilians are to retire to their houses. In 1848 i the Sardinians sent an officer to Venice to inform the authorities that the port of Venice was in a ,state of blockade ; but, up to the present moment., the commander of the French squadron has had.no communication with General Alemann. On the 16th inst., the Austrian war steamer Jupiter was sent out to reconnoitre, and it saw the French squadron coming up the Adriatic, without any colours flying. The sight of the black -yellow- bunting, ''however, roused* the bile of the French, for, in the twinkling of an eye the French flag was hoiSted, and a shot fired. Before the Jupiter returned to poit it had the pleasure of seeing the Napoleon give chase to and capture a. Small Austrian vessel, which is. known under the name of Trabakel According to adviceS from Venice, vessels, containing large stories, have been sunk in the entrances to the Lido, INfilamoCcO, and Chioggia. During the night of the 15th an accident, happened on the railroad between.Coceaglio and Brescia. Two trains carrying' troops , met, and 25 men were more or less seriously injured. One-man was killed. The particulars relative to the ' explosion on board the Triton - have lbeen, received from Ragusa. 'The whole crew excepting eight men, one of 'whom. was: the captair + was on board. PRUSSIA. The follOwirvg is the text of the declaration made to .he Federal Diet by M. d'Usedoni, relative to the proposition of Hanover to place an army on the Rhine : Already in the sitting in which. the proposition of the Hanoverian government was made, the Prussian Envoy, by order of his government; protested energetically against it, and he still maintains. that protest. But his government sees no formal objection. to its:being brought in due course before the military committee, Prussia having. repeatedly given a positive assurance .to- her German confederates while making considerable armaments, that in case of need she would put out her whole strength, and go far beyond her federal obligations to defend the safety and independence of Germany, the Prussian government with a special con sideration.to the peculiar position in which another great German Power is placed in consequence o the war in Italy, has a right to expect that its other Garman confederates will leave to it the initiative of adopting such military measure as may he required. This is the only means for maintaining the necessary unity to deal with the question successfully. The Prussian government cannot give its approval to any proposition which anticipates events, and exceeds the limits of the federal right, and, to• its great regret, it will, find itself obliged always to protest with the same energy against propositions of such a nature. -----~-- SWITZERLAND. BEuNn, May 21.—The Swiss Federal Council, anxious that the war in Italy,should not infringe upon the neutrality of Switzerland, has issued the following orders : 1. The export of arms and of any munition of war over the Swiss-Italian frontier is interdicted.. The accumulation of such articles near the Italian frontier is likewise prohi bited.
