THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1859.

the vast sum expended in this service mentioned by
Sir Jsar Omni's is the work of the opponents of
the Tories. At the Tyneekoath elution, very
recently, Mr. LINDSAY asserted that he had
visited Diver as one of the Commissioners for
inquiries into harbours of refuge, and had satisfied
himself that a large portion of the annual expense
Dow inclined fer the port there might be spared.
From hie statement, and what Sir JAMES GRAUANI
WS as, we cannot avoid suspecting that successive
Administrations have bribed the electors of Dover,
as Lord DERBY is said to have bribed the electors of
Galway, by directing a fertilising stream of the pub-
lic revenue into their laps.
Oa this occasion we cannot avoid recollecting that
the Government expenditure under the head of
Miscellaneous his gone on increasing year by year,
and much of it, now amounting to 7,000,0001. a
year, we may now suspect is applied for purposes
no more honourable nor useful than to seduce
electors. Though our neighbours are grossly in
error, they find in such facts sufficient reasons for
not hastily discarding their own systems of govern-
ment, and for distrusting some of our commenda-
tions. Thus the system oicorraption which is lightly
treated helps to keep alive despotism abroad, while
it debases our own people. The first fatal step Ia
most men towards crime is the seversuoe of honest
resolutions from the acts which are their natural
and appropriate consequeows ; and the kind ri
bribery described by Sir JAME 9 GIADAM 011/111
morality at its foundation, by seducing men to art
contrary to their political convictions. When es
find that this is done by the public money, we mast
heartily condemn a system which wrings taxation
from the people to continue a degradation that helps
to destroy the influence of Representative Govern-
ment in Europe.

TAR WAR.

ADDRESS OP THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON
TO HIS ARMY.

At Genoa this morning the following order of the
day (we learn by Mr. Renter's telegram) was issued
by the Emperor Napoleon :

" TO THE ARMY OF ITALY!

" Soldiers,—l come to plans myself at your head
to conduct you to the combat. We are about to
second the struggle* of a people now vindicating its
independenoe, and to rescue it from foreign oppres-
sion. This is a sacred cause, whleh has the sym-
pathies of the civilised world. I need not stimulate
your ardour; every step will remind you of a
victory. In the Via Sacra of ancient Rome inscrip-
tions were chiselled upon the marble, reminding
the people of their exalted deeds. It is the same to-
' day. In passing Mondovi, Marengo, Lodi, Cu-
' tiglioni, Arcole, and Rivoli, you will, in the midst of
those glorious recollections, be marching in another
Via Sacra.

" Preserve that strict discipline which is the
honour of the army. Here—forget it not—there are
no other enemies than those who fight against you
ir, battle. Remain compact and abandon not your
I ranks to hasten forward. Beware of too great
enthusiasm, which is the only thing I fear.
" The new armee de preeition are dangerous only
at a distance—they will not prevent the bayonet
from being what it has hitherto been—the terrible
weapon of the French infantry.
" Soldiers,—Let as all do our duty, and put oar
confidence in God. Oar country expects much from
you. From one end of France to the other the fol-
lowing words of happy augury re-echo :—' The new
army of Italy will hs worthy of her elder sister.'
"Given at Genes, May 19, 1859.

"NAPOLEON."

TURIN, TRITMIDAY.
Details have arrived respecting the arrival of the
Emperor at Genoa.
The-port:was full of ornamented small boats
crowded with spectator., who saluted his Majesty
with acclamations of welcome, and cast flowers be-
ton Wm.

The Emperor held a review of some old soldier,
of the first empire in the court of the royal palace.
Crowds of people have been collected during the
whale day beneath the Emperor's window, cheering
sad applauding him ineesgantly.
His Majesty goes this evening to the theatre.
The official bulletin of the war published to-day
contains nothing of importance.

The French journals do not anticipate the least
difficulty or delay in attacking the Austrian lines.
The Per yesterday taunted the Austrians with
their proverbial slowness, and promised them that
the arrival of the French Emperor in Italy would
instantaneously give • new character to the war.
The Patric last evening says that everything it in
readiness for a campaign, and that the Austrians'
will learn, in • very few days, with what " light-
ning-like rapidity our eagles fiy." " The coming
hours," says the same journal, " belong to the finest
pages of our history ; we have faith in the sanctity
of the cause which we defend—faith in the genius
of the Emperor and in the valour of our troops ; and
it is with calm eon adepts that we await the first
bulletin from the army of Italy."
Marshal Pelissier will leave Paris in eight or ten
days to review hie corps d'arords, which is composed
of eight divisions of infantry and of three divisions
of cavalry. The artillery attached to the man►al's
corps clormee is considerable, and oan at all times
be replenished from the arsenals and the numerous
fortified towns in the eastern departments. This
army, of which the command has lately been given
to the Duke of Malakoff, is still distributed among
the garrison towns on the eastern frontier of
France, but it may be brought into the field at any
moment.

The French force now in Piedmont is very
large. Up to Friday, the Bth of May, 81,000 men
from Frame lad Algeria were conveyed to Genoa
by the imperial navy; 14,000 by the Menageries;
3,000 by the Marie Stuart transport, hired for the
amnion ; and from 20,000 to 21,000 by land. A
despatch received the day before yesterday Exed
the total number there at 140,000. 'lke Piedmon-
tees count 80,000 regular troops and 27,000 volun-
teers. From this total one-fourth is the usual
inner deducted for oontingenck• or canal-
ties, This is applioable to both sides, and even thena
ionaidable amber still remains for mutual slaughter
la the circumscribed battis-field in the plains of
Piedmont! it is said that the cavalry of the French
sot yet complete, and that a good deal remains to
be done concerning the balls for the rifled cannon.
There are, or lately were, 10,000,000 cartridges in
the arsenal of Genoa.

M. Tecchio, royal extraordinary commissioner for
the divisions of Novara, Vercelli, and Ivrea, has
issued the following proclamation :

People of Ivreal—The enemy of the King and of oar
astaby—Yet many that Yea, for the tail ten day; bran

Mr Renter haa this morning received the follow-
ing telegram :
MARSEILLES, TIVRSDAT EVRNINO.
Advice' have been reeeived from Constantinople

The agitation is increuing in the Turkish pro-
vinces, especially Bosnia. The Turkish government
his therefore increased the number of troops to
watch Bosnia, Berrie, and Montenegro.
Austrian vessels have been advised merely to na-
vigate the Danube and Dardanelles.
The Austrian government has stopped the trans-
mission of political news to Constantinople by tele-
graph. The European inhabitants have requested
that the telegraph at Jassy be joined to the Rue•
sian lines.

tween the French and Austrians residing here.

The Grand Duke Constantine has relinquished his
project of visiting Jerusalem, and will leave to-
morrow for St. Petersburg.

stantine hu strongly recommended the Greek
government to keep neutral.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 2nd, in the
Nord of Brussels, says :

The end of last week was a period of rejoicing fur the in-
babitints of this city, the Neva having become entirely clear
of ice end the navigation being open. The bon- vivants
have ;tailed with delight the arrival of several vessels laden
with oysters, oranges, and other dalioacire, the production of
more favoured countries, and in a few days we shall see
forrignoteamers &longed, the germ During the Mat three
or four days St. Petersburg has eructed all the appear-
ance of a city In a state of siege. Drums and trumpets
_ _

may b 3 heard from daybreak, and the streets are
frequently blocked up by regiments and parks of
artillery. All this is owed by the preparations for the grand
annual review of the guard, and of the pupils of the military
schools, which is to take piece in a day or two, if the we►ther
to fine. Immediately attar the review, the court will remove
to Tsarek,e-Solo, where the Empress mother has already been
far ten days with the Grand Dachas Olga Ft-odueoveus, wife
of the Grand Duke Michel. Mr. limey, the horse-tamer,
is now displaying his powers here. A Khirghis horse had
recently been brought from the steppes of Orenbonrg for the
regiment of the Coirsesien of the Guard, but It defied all
the efforts made to break it In. Mr. Reny rendered it sub-
mLsire about tor,, boors, and It allowed itself to be sad-
dled, bridled, end led to the railway. On reaching St•
Petersburg be mounted another horse sad lad the Hhirshis
courser by dill bridle to its stable.
