' El)t> TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1859, THE DAY'S -NEWS The news about the War is just as indefinite as it well could be. That contained in our columns this morning comprises mere reports of movements and counter-movements of troops, with here and there a new rumour, as if just by way of giving variety to Probably the most important the telegrams announcement receivnd since our last, is the one made by Le Nord, which is to the effect, that, - in consequence of the declaration of Russia and the explanations of France, England and Prussia have I both resolved to maintain a strict neutrality, with the object of localising the theatre of the conflict The announcement that the Emperor Napoleon will leave Paris for Genoa, this day, is confirmed, and it is added that Prince Napoleon will accompany him. M. de Persigney will leave on the same day, to assume his position, as also does Marshall Valliant, who was lately Minister of War, and now Major-General of the army in According to the latest account, the Imperial Guard has arrived at entire of the with the exception of the artillery Times correspondent at Paris, apprehends even now the Pope would much sooner be at French General, and doubts whether his Holiness is quite free at this moment, whether if he wished to quit. Rome, the French would allow him to do so. The Paris correspondent of the Globe asserts that a beginning has been made by Austria of a church confiscation for war purposes The wealth of the rich monasteries being the only resource left, and that prevent such an act being denounced in that quarte An English man-of-war (the Orion) was in the port of Genoa ou the 4th instant, The Austrians have formed flying brigades in Lombardy to put down popular insurrections. General Ulloa, who was appointed by the Provisional Government to the command-in-chief of the Tuscan army, has issued an address, in 'which he says, " Tuscan soldiers, you cannot remain idle when th cannon, perhaps, already thunders in Italy against the Austrians Hasten then to swell the army of the most valiant and loyal Victor Emanuel, which is no longer only a Piedmontese arms Let us but an Italian arinv. unite ourselves all from the Alps to the two seas A. Turin letter, in the Independance, states that, on the night of the 4th the Austrians'at Vercella were surprised by Garibaldi, who made 400 of them prisoners, The Italian Volunteers and, their chief were assisted by the Cialdini division In France, now that war is declared, merchant land manufacturers have accepted the new position Isome trades will even profit, by the way. A rise in I the price of corn and flour in the Paris market was not maintained at the close of the week. There is a prospect of an abundant harvest. The declaration of war has caused a considesable fall in the price of raw silk. The correspondent of the Times says that, the French ;overnment has concluded a con- tract with a house at Dublin, for the supply of a large quantity of provisions We -have received four day's later news from the esterdu y The Sickles trial had concluded with a verdict of ! acquittal.

Utah point to a general disruption of the territory, as our report says, "the ill-feeling between the Mormons on the one side, and the army and the 4 Gentiles' on the other, has reached a point at which it seems impossible to prevent a serious collision.' 1•A steamer had exploded on the Mississippi, killing some fifty or sixty persons remained quiet. Cotton had declined lc. per lb., and Commercial affairs breadstuffs were but slightly dealt in 1 -.... , 4P.-.-- FRANCE AND ITALY, THERE is no doubt it is his aggrandisern Italy, that is. the .object of Louis NAPOLEON'S participation in the war. He pretends that he - to rescue Italy .from the despotism of Austria! But if he were sincere in such a feeling as this—if he really sympathised with the Italians under their oppression,—why, as an absolute Monarch himself, nt in does he not rescue his own subjects from their Is it possible to believe that one who to his own people free institutions, is really rnest w en he professes to invade the terri- )f other States 9 obtain, even at the cannon's ons into Italy for another and a less disinterested object. He goes there, as his Imperial and imperious Uncle did, to establish a Napoleonic influence ; and it is an influence that could never endure free institutions, or freedonr-in any of its aspects, or its developments. The "national and traditional policy," as regards Italy, which he so complacently referred to, in his recent.communication to the :Corps Leqislatif, is a policy, notof freedom, but of despotism. • It is only necessary to glance at the history of France under the martial rule and guidance of the first NAPOLEON, to be ,assured of this. The oppresSions to which that great military despot subjected the Italians, wherever he gotthem in his power, were of the severest kind. His forced contributions upon them, in various forms, wore ,utterly overwhelming. In the case of that State, formerly a duchy of Italy, which is now being attempted to be once more Invaded by French soldiery, under the Buonaparte dynasty, —we mean hiilan, or Milaaese,—whiLst in this invasion the very first act of the French and Sardinian aggressors is to reduce ito beggary the farmers and others along the valleys of the Sesia, by inundating their fields, and ruining. their cropS, by letting out upon them the waters of that. river, on the former occasion of tic legions of a NAPOLEON trampling on its soil, 'levies upon the people` Were , 4 enforced, f or the -support of the French army, which rola:3 the" in many instances, of nearly their l THE NORTHERN TIMES, TUESDAY, a*4IAY 10, 1859 living. " And, when, the unfortunate Milanese,': as a contemporary well reminds us, " finding them • selves in a worse condition than before, ventured to rebel against their new oppressors, they were put down with a scornful and merciless severity which made the sway of their former masters appear mild by comparison. When the town of Pavia, which had dared, in consequence of those oppressive requisi tions, to shut its gates against the invaders, - fell ' again into the power of the conqueror, we are told that, in order to terrify the insurgents, he ordered the magistrates and leaders of the revolt to be shot, and the city to be delivered up -to plunder." And all the States of Italy are similiarly treated by that ruthless NAPOLEON, the Uncle, in whose footsteps NAPOLEON, the Nephew, is now proceeding to tread—along what, in France, they will be insensate enough to consider the paths of glory. That it is along paths pursued before by French troops, led by that first NAPOLEON, which the present NAPOLEON designs to march his hosts, has been officially declared to the Corps Legislatif. "We enter this classic ground," says the Imperial declaration, rendered illustrious by so many victories, to seek the footsteps of our fathers. GOD grant that we May be worthy of them." Such is LOUIS NAPOLEON'S own exposition of his course. By " the footsteps of our fathers" is meant the footsteps of his immortal Uncle —those footsteps which were invariably marked with the traces of blood, and which never conducted to any issue that was not characterised by military tyranny. The Paris journal, the Patrie,—which, on the sub ject of 'this war more especially, is not of course, allowed to publish anything that is not approved of at Court,—has recently given insertion in its columns to a letter from M. DE LA ROCHEFOLICAULD, Duc•de Doudeauville, that is very explicit, or pretends to be, on the attitude of France towards Italy. " France," he says, " has to protect Italy against the invasion, open or covert, but unceasing, of Austria, who seeks to exercise a preponderating influence throughout the peninsula. At all periods such has been the ambi tious policy of Austria, to which the policy of France has always been justly opposed. If the French were not at Rome the Austrians would be masters there. Their despotism and the intolerable yoke which presses upon the populations subjected to their rule have excited general indignation." So that, accord ing to this latest version of the transaction, it is evidently the jealous rivalry of France against Austria. It is the ambitious policy of France opposing the national policy of Austria: The Italian States, over which Austria exercises authority, are placed under her charge by treaties to which all the Great Powers of Europe were parties, France included. The settlement of Italy, in 1815, was a settlement that was essential to the tranquillity of France her self, as well as to the peace and quiet of Europe. It is quite unnecessary for Austria to " seek to exercise a preponderating influence throughout the penin sula." She has already possessed such an influence through the authority that was conferred upon her by the other Powers of Europe. "But people still repeat," continues the Due de Doudeauville, " that France is going to support re volution in Italy.' No ; the French Government cannot have the intention ascribed to it. To suppose so is a calumny. Our armies are going to Italy to re-establish the rule - of order and right. A noble mission ! " And yet, immediately that he has thus denied the popular imputation, he is so excessively candid that he proceeds to show what excellent reasons there really are for it. "It is true," he says, " that the First :Nrinister of Piedmont has thought fit to call upon the revolutionists for assistance, which would be a misfortune were they to be received in Italy as partizans of the revolution, but such will not be the case. It is as Italians that they join Pied mont and France to throw off the hateful yoke of Austria, and it would be unjust to blame them. Lef us hope that their courage and their energy in the day of battle will protest against the ideas of disorder they are supposed to entertain_" So that from this it is evident the revolutionists are assisting Sardinia—Sardinia is forwarding their cause—and France is the active ally and helper, the very mainstay, in fact, of Sardinia. If this be not "to support revolution in Italy," we know not what can be. The revolutionists seek to change, to revolu tionise their Government : their object is a revolution. "They join Piedmont and France to throw off the hateful yoke of Austria,"—and that would be revo lution. It is literally true, therefore, that " France is going to support revolution in Italy." And according to this same court scribe, the DUC DE DOUDEAVVILLE, France must on no account look upon England with any but hostile feelings, sineQ England sees through the crafty device, and will be no party to its execution. " France," he declares, " had cause to distrust Austria, her enemy at all times, and jealous England, always perfidious, and never more to be feared than when she professes friendship. It is sufficient to read the speeches of the Ministers," he continues, " to be convinced of this. The nation is net hostile to us ; but English policy ever has been, still is, and always will be, hostile to France. It soon forgets the services it has received ; and with England we shall always be the victims of our generosity and our good faith. Who could deny the effects of that policy P England, after doing all in her power to excite revolation -in Italg, abandons her just as she takes up arras, and declines an active participation with us, so that France to-day is reduced to inquire wireth'e he is a friend or foe. It is thus she repays , the services we rendered her in the Crimea ; she is as jealous of our glory as of our prosperity. " Now here we have an ilhistratiow of French appreciation of 'English alliance and co-operation. " The services we ren dered her in the Crimea !" Why, we thought that those services were rendered to the interests of Europe—of France among the rest—and not to Eng land, who rendered,them also ! .-We are certainly not aware. or, ally services England has received from France ; she cannot possibly, therefore, forget what has never been. And as to England " doing all in her power to excite revolution in Italy," the imputa tion is simply a most absurd piece of sophistry. Eng land warmly sympathised, and still does, with Italians, who were under any oppression ; and her •sea girt isle, as the home of freedom, is ever ready t o be an asylum for the oppressed. French men themselves, only some nine or ten years age, came over and found it a safe asylum against the tyranny, of this very Lours NAPOLEON himself. Butt to say that she thereby "'does all in her power to excite revolution" is, we repeat, a most absurd piece of malicious mendaeiti. But :this display of bad *cling ,es the part of France, at Koch a moment, has a deep moral in it• England is vituperated because she repudiates French aggression, upon Italy. The Frenchman's complaint is, " she declines an active participation with us, so that France to-day is reduced to inquire whether she is friend or foe." Our just and prudent policy, there fore, is the cause of their animosity. And surely, in such a case, we may be proud of our position. The very fact of our policy being censured by those who have provoked so criminal a war as that which has just begun to desolate the fair fields of Lombardy, is one of the best possible testimonies that could be given to its wisdom and its virtue. It is a circum stance, it is true, that will make it all the more necessary to be on our guard, and to have our neutrality an armed one. But, this carefully observed, and we have nothing to fear. GOD will assuredly defend the right. OUR MILITARY DEFENCES, States. And their number, as we have shown, is legion. It is in no bellicose spirit, let our readers be assured, that we take up such a suggestion. We believe that a very effective military defence might thus be formed, and be so qualified, and so arranged, as to be available for the country's protection—for the resistance of any foreign foe—at a moment's notice, and under any emergency. And we aro persuaded, moreover, that, so far from its being a movement in the direction of war, the possession of such a military defence would be, practically, one of the most pacific measures that, in a conjuncture like the present, could possibly be adopted. IN the present critical state of Europe, when powerful and angry Potentates have called out their armed hosts by hundreds of thousands, and, crying havoc, have *" let slip the dogs of war," it is a seasonable and most important subject of considera tion, to calculate what is our own condition here at home, in a military point of view. That her Majesty's Government have not duly considered it, we by no means intend to insinuate. We believe they are alive to the necessity of our being made as effective as possible, in our military defences ; and that they are making active preparations to that end. According to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's recent statement at his re-election in Buckinghamshire, we have an army of a hundred thousand men, here at home, or hereabouts ; and we have another army of the same amount on its way home from India. What necessity there may here after arise for any considerable portion of this large force being withdrawn for foreign service, it is impossible to foresee. Not that it is to be supposed likely that we are, on any consideration, to be drawn into the deadly and wicked quarrel on the Continent. Peace is to be our great aim : first, and above all things, peace is to be maintained--though certainly not peace at any price. All that we are to prepare for, at present, is our own defence—the protection of our own country, and its possessions —its fleets of merchantmen afloat and its coasts and their numerous fortifications erected thereon. And for this purpose we must of necessity, at such a time, be armed at all points. It was well and timely observed, in one of the London journals, the other day, with reference to this matter of our military defence, that " the notion that because nations choose prudently to arm, there is therefore danger, is about as wise' as the superstition that a man who makes his will hastens his death,"—a remark that was at the same time followed up by the assurance, along with an expression of gladness and satisfaction at its being so, " that the public have not adopted any absurd apprehension from the fact that Government is adopting just and prudent measures to place the country in such a position that war, at least, will not be invited by the creation of hopes of success in the minds of other nations." Now, the importance of this precaution is self-apparent. What could more forcibly invite war, than the defenceless situation, in any wise, of such a kingdom as Great Britain ? Why, we have the wealth of a score of ordinary States in these islands; and when millions of fighting men are up in arms, and proceeding to invade and to desolate neigbouring countries, surely it were a great national duty to look vigilantly and moroughly to our own security. But, says the writer we have been quoting, " the mere addition to our permanent military force, whether by land or sea, does not constitute the whole necessity which such a time as this supposes. The training of the people in that most requisite knowledge of the use of arms which will make them formidable without - making them pugnacious, and which, while it warns our enemies, does not make us the less peaceable subjects, is open to a great improvement. A system of buying all kinds of services, including that of soldiers, is the growth of the custom of centuries amongst the English. Soldiers we have expected to arise like all other necessities, forgetting that not only training, but the esprit which makes youth wish to be trained, are needed to form a martial population. The cant of the last war that we are not a military people we at least do not adopt. We have all the materiel of a military nation. Why, then, should this material be allowed to lie fallow or to go to waste. Other nations have learned how to combine the soldier and the citizen, and to hold at command a power of skilful and disciplined men, who yet follow their own pursuits." And then reference is made to the United States of America, whose voluntary militia corps, according to the last return, amounts to about two millions and three- quarters of men, of whom 642 are general officers; 2,583, general staff officers ; 10,427 field officers ; and 40,724, company officers. This is certainly a formidable army for a nation to possess. It is regularly trained and drilled, at different periods of the year, in the several towns and districts of the respective States.; and we have no doubt would be found, in any emergency, a most effective national defence. One of the latest raised of these 7volunteer regi , thents, was mounted one for the defence of the frontier of . Texas ; and a glance at the Act of Con gress providing for its organisation, shows at mice how the thing is done, and how the services to be performed are secured and appropriated. It was to be received into the United States service for eighteen months,' from the time the whole regiment was mustered. ;It was to be composed of a Colonel, a Lieutenant-Colonel, a Major, an Adjutant. with rank of First Lieutenant, Quarter Master and Commissary with similar rank, a Surgeon and two Assistants, a Sergeant-Major, a Quarter Master and Commissary - Sergeant, and ten Companies, each of which shall have a Captain, a first and Second Lieutenant, 4 Sergeants, 4 Corporals, 2 Buglers, 1 Farrier, and 74 Privates.' They are subjeet to the Rules and Articles of war; are armed at the expense of the United States; and receive the the same rations as the regular eavalry regiments. Each Officer below the rank of Major, and Non-CoramisSiOned Officer and Private, is required to furnish and keep a good and fktviceable horse, and horse equipments, for:the use and risk of which, in addition to other pay and allowaneeS, he receives 40 cents a day, while he is in the service. Suck is the way in which they provide and manage their volunteer corps LI the United in tb i to nominate the men who were now employe d _i rce te' markets; and in doing so he would not make ale c , bu t stances of either anything worse than what it Ni's'es the better; nor would he increase the presen t outlay L corporation one shilling.
