FRANCE. 30th of April. -- -fln that date the Austrian head= ,quarters were at Garlaseo, a town midway between Pavia and Mortara. The Vienna public accuses Count Gyulai of having unnecessarily delayed the passage of the army across the Ticino, but it wrongs him, and that grievously. The Austrian force were to have entered Sardinia during . the night between the 26th and 27th of April, but at the very last moment the British Government made a proposition, which was readily accepted by Austria and scornfully rejected by France. This Government promised not to begin hostilities against Sardinia . before the British Cabinet had received the reply of France to its proposal, and telegraphic instructions were therefore forwarded to Count Gyulai not to cross the Ticino until he received orders from Vienna to do - so: The military authorities complained bitterly of the " senseless meddling" of tbe.diploma fists, and irefully declared that the two or three days gained by France and Sardinia would cost Austria thousands of men and millions' of florins. As it is positively known here that the Russian Government means mischief, certain battalions have received orders to return to, Gallicia, and a corps- of observation will soon be posted in the neighbour-. hood 'of Cracow. The news of the allianee between RuSsia and France is said to havo 'produced an. _exceedingly painful impression on the Emperor Francis Joseph, and the report is, probably, correct for yesterday his majesty looked very ill and de pressed. On the Ist instant he dined in the so-called KaiSer-Garten, -in the Prater, and personS'Who saw: him as he was driving home in the eyening,.were Much struck by the change in ,his personal appear ance, The Emperor and Empress . mere loudly cheered by, the people, and: such an unusual sign of kindly feeling appeared to produce an, Agreeable impression on the former. The Vie__ goodnatured race, now iriainfain that it is entirely the fault of the." entourage" of the Sovereign that the internal affairs of the Empire are in such an unsatisfactory state. From the Polish. frontiers we learn that Russian troops are now marching to wards Galicia, and at Warsaw it is related that two corps are to be placed on the.south-west frontiers of Russia. - Each of them will consist—on paper—of about 60,000 men, and the one will be placed on the Galician, and the other on the Bessarabian frontier. The order. for -raising recruits in the kingdom of Poland has not yet been issued, but the lists of this year's conscripts have been made out. A Pole writes to a friend in this city, that Russia will 'be able to effect her purpose witlout any great exer tion. " She will wait," says he, until the , whole world is at loggerheads, and there .is a general insurrection in - European Turkey, and then she will renew her quarrel with the Porte." It appears as if France has accepted the offer which England some years -ago declii.ed, and that the divison of Turkey is about to take place.. Common prudence requires that a very—watchful ere should ,be kept on the movements of the Russians in-- -Turkey in Europe, and of those of the French in Egypt and. Syria. The Vienna papers the day. before yes terday announced' toe departure of M. de Banne ville, the - French Charge d'Affaires ; but it was not until yesterday evening that he quitted Vienna. 'M. Decaire, the Chancellier of the Embassy, is still here, but he is a naturalized Austrian subject, and, as such, at liberty to remain. .At the very last moment, M. de Banneville sent the archives of the Embassy to the Spanish Legation, and placed the French 'residing in Austria under the protection of M. Torre d'Ayllon, the representative of Spain at this court. The Austrians do not appear to feel any apprehension that the Spanish Cabinet will aid Louis Napoleon in the effort which lie is now making to establish what the Germans call a secundogenz here in Italy. Will Central Italy be better governed by a Prince Napoleon, or Naples by a Prince Murat, than Tuscany has been by a member of the house of Hapsburg-Lorraine ? The memory of the great publiC is retharkably short, and it may, therefore, be well to recapitulate the principal Idees Napoleoniennes. They are —the overthrow of the things that be, by preaching the independence of Italy and Piedmont ; by agitating in favour of a union between Sardinia, Parma, Modena, and Tus cany ; by undermining the authority of the Bourbons in Parma and Naples ; by encouraginc , Montenegro, Servia, &c., to rise against the Porte ; . by reminding the Poles of the flagrant wrong done to their native country, and by talking to the Danes of the en croachments .of the Germans: The Belgians are alternately cajoled and menaced by the Emperor of the. French, and the : . Germans are continually assured by him that he entertains no hostile intentions towards them. English travellers assure me that there are still people in Great Britain who trust Louis Napoleon, but the confidence of the Germans in his sincerity is entirely destroyed. The South Germans are half beside themselves with mingled fear and rage . , and the Prussians feel. that it will not be safe.. to temporize much longer. Prussia, as you' must have learnt by electric • tele graph, is placing all her nine corps irarintse in prepa ration for war, and a person who well, knows what is passing in Berlin states that orders have been issued to supply all the . fortresses with provisions, ammunition, &c. A German army of 250;000 men thrown boldly into France would, doubtless, bring the French to their senses at once, but, unfortu nately, Prussia is by no means likely to take the field, unless Austria should be- signally defeated by the French. Hanover yesterday pro posed to the Bund to act in accordance with direc tions contained in Article 47 of the Act of Confede ration, but the matter was probably— at the request of Prussia—referred to the committee. The pith of the article in question is, that if the committee of . the Bund decides by a majority of votes that an attack on the non-Federal possessions of a mem ber of the Confederation is attended with danger. to the Federal territory, the Bund is bound to take proper measures for, its defence. It is still related in the German papers that the Prince Regent of Prussia is to take the supreme command of all the Federal armies, but I am inclined to doubt the cor rectness of the report. !nnese, who are A ItISA Thursday.—The continued dearth of news fr °ln . the seat of war puzzles us all extremely. We do not know what to think of it, or how to explain the inaction of the, Austrians. Before war was for -• that Y eclared• it entered into the calculations here at the Austrians would,.when they had crossed the di • 'n° and the Po, concentrate and fall on the. Sar dis. -.la n , - • with overwhelming force ; why they have not ' was the difficulty. It is known, however, that 4 certain parts the Austrians have been obliged to rep ress the Po in consequence of the artificial inun u▪ atio I us, greatly aided by the heavy falls of rain. ° Paris th e move ment' of troops seems to have ,3 oi absi ded• The carabineers, who had been counter :4lll°d, quit Versailles for their original destination , as also the cuirassiers ; and of eighteen batteries of arti llery fifteen have left for the theatre of the war. It is again stated that Marshal VaiLlant quits the W ar Office for the reason alluded to yesterday— Ilai nelY, the non-completion of arrangements in his d epartment. It is pleaded as a reason for the defi tiency—if deficiency there be— that up to the last koment no positive information could be obtained 13 3 r the Minister whether France was really going to Aar or not. Two aides-de-camp of the Marshal are t 0 be m ees.. promoted, an indication that the Minister Delangle's fate still hangs in the balance. l ie has the misfortune not to stand high in the a lir of their Imperial Highnesses , Princes cron ie and Napoleon, who will not have him re main at during the head of the internal administration n g the Emperoes•absence. How it will end I do not not know, but M. Delangle appears under such tire••', • instances resolved on resigning. The same persons as before are spoken of as his successor, ex cept, however, M. de Morny, who seems definitively kept out. M. de Morny is reported to have a strong dislike to the Minister of Public Works, and virould 1 „... not enter a cabinet where he sits, and the 1 n ister of public works appears to have some equally good cause to return the compliment to M. ue m °rny, and will not on any account sit with him. i f e n again M. Fould was said to be menaced, i no t with total removal, at . all events a i ` o "translation" to the Finance Department. 'Would arl!ngement by no means suited him, as it make him a mere Minister of Affairs from 1 4 a political one. M. Fould is perhaps the only t nister who possesses real power at court and in t ou I leit The hostility 'of one or two powerful °f e uds has been neutralised by the superior influence 8 0 more powerful personage, and, therefore, it is 'u , he is safe. M. de Persigny was spoken of as th e successor of M. Fould—this I doubt. in this Massacre des Innoeens, heavy blows were a bedl, at M. Walewski. M. Walewski , however , as stood the brunt, and, after all, may come out t l a thless. M. Thouvenel was given to him as sue ss°r -that is by public report. It is very doubtful ' ol( '' whether he will be disturbed. His Majesty, who ta kes Napoleon I. as his model in many thing , does do t i„erget that Prince Talleyrand often accompanied 4 1 3 itaperial master on journeys like the present. Ze modern Talleyrand may do the same, and M. alevvski will in that case have the advantage of itnessing the campaigns of Piedmont and Lora •tia;(lY, and the honour of countersigning decrees from iMperial head-quarters at Milan. But even if he es not accompany the Emperor, I think his retire lent Would be detrimental to his Majesty's service. a change be made in the Foreign-office, it would ti n ei le appropriately be when the time comes for nego -4111g7 and when a new man , who has not been T o ißed to hurt the pride, or even the vanity , of t jeign sovereigns in official circulars, may be cour ' • 1;v9 11 ,s without being inconsistent. Moreover , M . alewski, who has been an eye and ear witness, if not a participator, in the incidents t hat have led u tb - the war, must know, so far a s the y can be known, - s e Emperor's intentions and thoughts ; whereas a t t ranger would be quite at sea. Indeed the incon euience of pirting with, him at this m oment is %0. obvious that people deem it absurd. But because Th is absurd, I should not be surprised if his retire i,ekt. appeared in the Moniteur on an early day. 1 . - I ,_"'""ng of the Moniteur, I may observe, en passant, t hat some people find it strange that Mr. Disraeli, his sp eec h to his constituents, did n ot ex p lain ailY the llioniteur, the official organ of the French everiunent, has maintained unbroken silence on t, i t le subject of the " secret engagement" between i t il ssia and France. •Every one seems to have de nied e cept those who must best know whether it exi sts Or not. The French Government are said to be occupied 4t this mo men t with trying to secure the neutrality ofll russia ; to have promised not to form an army of o b servation on the Rhine ; and also that the war shall be circumscribed to Italy. It is not said whe (4er the se nego ti a tions are likely to succeed. 4( The Patric publishes the following postscript : "e are as sure d, ac cording to private information , that •l the Au s t r ians have been forced by the inunda tions to recross the Po." • 11 0 lett ers or pa pers were received at Paris to - day from Italy. • AUSTRIA, froITEN,NA, May. 3.—The only news received here lcm,,,te seat of war is, that the whole army.fol 'l' the advanced guard across the Ticino on the 700 persons are working on a height which reci•- man ds the fortress called Monte Pulito. The Austrian work in an entrenched camp and in the immediate neighbourhood. They have taken possessicn of the casino of Cardinal Ferretti, villas, and various fabriques. They are making a covered road, are re-constructing the Lunette, fortifying the placing a battery at the Cappucini, and all around, strengthening it with cannon towards both sea andland, especially towards the land. The city has the appearance of being iu a state of siege ; in a - few days it will be ready for defence. The Papal banners are still unfolded : but . as if in mockery. The Austrians dispose of everything as usual. The few, cannoneers - belonging to the Pope that remained, were to have been sent - away on the 28th ; their barracks had been already taken from them. The Gonfaloniere protests strongly against these acts, and refuses everything.. The . Delegate is embarrassed, not having received preciSe orders from Rome. The telegraph from Ancona . to Bologna is in the hands of the Austrians ; that to Rome is open to. the public an hour or so in the day. There was talk in Ancona of preparations - to resist a blockade on the part of-France, and to give support to a body of 30,000 Neapolitans who were said to have crossed the Tronto and joined_ the. Austrians. Such is. the information which I receive through letters from Ancona. As a positive fact I know that the Pope has again protested most strongly against his: States being made battle-field, and against this sudden ,invasion of the Austrians in spite of remonstrances and - protests. News has reached us this afternoon that General • Ulloa, so : well known for his defence of :Venice, and who, is, now in the. service •of the King -Of Sardinia ' is ,marching - southwards towards Rieta, with- a de tachinetit - .of • Tuscans.. We • cannot make ,out what their : object is: .I told you -in my • morning letter -that some -of the French troops now in!. Rome were ordered-off to .Rieta ; but I 'must suspend the - statement —nothing . positive is • known or can be .affirmed ;. indeed, officers , themselves do not know their destination. A envious incident took place this morning, I hear. The Papal dragoons were reviewed on the Pinelo, and at the conclusion, the command ing officer is said to have addressed them, and cried out, " Viva _Pie -None, e it Re delle Due Sicilie 1" The cry was, however, received in dead Silence: The Roman youth are burning .with imp atienee to start,. and 1,000 are now ready at a • moment's notice. To-day, the great nobility will be called upon to subscribe—indeed, throughout the higher circles -of society, the greatest entlinsiasm 'prevails for the Italian cause. A telegraphio despatch arrived yesterday directing the 'Prince of Wales to leave Rome. The day. fixed upon originally for his departure was the 9th of May; this date will be anticipated by ..a week, as he will now leave on Monday,. the 2nd of May. He is going on. a yachting eXpedition, which is to include the coast of Spain and .cdbraltar. He will leave in the Scourge, commanded by Prince Hohenlohe, a .cousin of Her Majesty. • .

THE ELECTIONS. - There are only about 70 members required to complete the House of Commons. The Times estimates the Ministerial gain at 15. — the Herald at 28. The Post says, the total number of Liberals at present is 319, tho Conservatives 261, giving a majority of 58 to opposition. The Star remarks that, on the whole, the Tories have certainly gained by the general election, bnt this circum stance is likely to increase the zeal of the Liberal party for a new Reform Bill. The Bombay mails arrived at Dover at half-past five this morning. . The Post says it is almost certain M. De Persigny will be appointed French Ambassador in London. .
