ever, by no means sufficient to make the men di-
sisal soldiers. Rifle Corp. are mainly useful as
skirmishers, and all who have considered the subject
know that skirmishers require more individual train-
ing, intelligence, and self-reliance than those who
fight shoulder to shoulder, whose duty is to 'Ames,
stand firm, or retire by direct command alone. The
skirmisher is frequently called to act on his own
judgment, and should thus know something
about tactics, both in principle and practice. The
best instructed and most intelligent men are
best fitted for the special duty that would
fall to the lot of Rifle Corp.. This instruction can-
not be pined unless the men undergo regular
military training. The existing provisions exclude
the very class of which Volunteer Corps must be
principally composed. The result obviously will
be to arrest the formation of such corps, and this
bee actually happened at Hastings, amongst other
place..

THE nraws, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1869.

THE WAR.

The Moniker of this morning (we learn from Mr.
Renter) contains the following telegram :

ALESSANDBIA, MAT 16.

" The Emperor still remains at Alessaadria,
where his head-quarters are established. His
imperial Majesty is in excellent health. Prince
Napoleon has remained at Genoa, in order to
organise his corps d'armle, part of which is expected
from Africa. It is believed that in eight days this
corps, the destination of which is not yet known,
will be ready to take the field."

"TURIN, MONDAY, MAT 16.

" The official bulletin, published yesterday even-
ing, announced certain movements of the Austrians
from Stradella towards Voghera.
" Nothing new has been published to-day.
"The weather continues rainy."

The Nord thinks everything portends that the
first action will take place at Mortars.
The Duke of Chartres is at Casale is General
Cialdini's division. On the evening of the Bth the

young prince made a reconnaissance and sent in his
report. The Dec d'Autnale has sent his nephew
two English horses.

TURIN, BATCRDAT.
The following official bulletin wu published
to-day :
" The Austrians withdrew to-day from Bobbio, and
our commander pushed forward a second and still
stronger reconnoitering party as far as the walls of
Vercelli, but without result, the enemy not having
made any movement whatever.
"The Emperor has transferred his head-quarters to

- .
Alessandria. He traversed the town on horseback,
aeoompanied by General Canrobert. The 'treats
presented the appearance of a fete day, and great
demonstrations of joy in honour of the imperial
cortige were made by the people.
" The King went to meet the Emperor."

TURIN, SUNDAY.

The Austrian war steamer Radetzki, stationed on
the Logo Meggiore, lay to on Wednesday last be-
fore Cannobbio and made exorbitant demands of
provisions, which, however, the inhabitants reso-
lutely refused to supply, and the Radetzki was
obliged to depart without @twee's.
