M. lie PlastarT retteens to England as Preach
Amtreader. Somewhat mere than • year has
elapsed since he ceased to fill the same post at our
Court. 'the affsir of the Conspiracy Wl', in which
be played • conspicuous part, wee th cause no
doubt of his retirement, though in what way pri-
de.); it rendered that act of self-abnegation neces-
sary the publie at large did not very distinctly under-
stand. Only one thing was at the time rrgarded as
sirloin, namely, that the French diplomatist felt
sod declared that he had been misled by the de-
dant:owe of Lords Dinar and M.ti.lll+4lsVßY while
In opposition. and that he confidently nektited upon
their Firsuieg when in power a coarse sae OW
fuermaS'e to the wishes of his Imperial wader,
than Leeds l'Atueesvou and CLAWIDON. The
first ',nit of • change of Ministry proved that be
had I..;:ter deceived himself or been deceived he did
not ct to conceal his &agile; and in the Mane
of a few weeks he relinquished the position be bad
for some tine filled with to much credit to himself
and advantage to his country, because be conceived
that u%der the circumstances then existing he could
mar retain it with diminished influence. A very
general feelieg was manifested at the time that M.
vet Psnr,IONT was one of the few persons who had
bebased thoroughly well in the whole transaction;
and the expression of this feeling was the more re-
mailiste'o, because nineteen out of every twenty
ropier in this country considered him to have
barn on the wrong aide in the international
sap %Ole. We were very angry at being called
upon tu change our laws of asylum at the
request of a foreign Government; but our anger was
directed less against the Sovereign of Fwtci who
had ends the foolish request, than against the slavish
Ministers of Ragland who had lured him into
making it, and who had the inconceivable folly and
meanness to set forth the demand they had encou-
raged if not invited, as the justification of their un-
patriotic attempt at legislation. But though M. no
Pructoxv was in a peealiar manner idiot:fled with
almost every step of the transaction, popular justice
frankly dietherinehed between the honourable and
outspoken real of the Ambeseados in the cause of the
Itri.c• he eetved, and the impoliey and %infighting*.
Sees of the cause itself. Nay, more. thv popularsamo
et truth and honour favourably contrasted hie
weed and consistent fidelity with the unworthy
shirking and unconstitutional conduct of Lard
CLAttxDoN and his col leagues, who, in as plain a cue
as eccr existed, were neither true to their country nor
to themselves. And thus it happened that whoa
M. Di Paustoet's retirement became known, every
one who valued the permanence of • good ender-
stanched between the two cesstries was toadied
wiqi a swain/at et regret.

I: shoal/ be remembered that at the opening of
the reality, whoa England sad Wales were iaha-
bud by cooly sins millions of people, the dread of I
enforced military or save! service hang over every I
ati.e-bodied man in the kingdom. Besides ths
militia of 200,000 use, roars than that camber a I
rocrlits for the line had beam raised within eight
yesrs—am gnomon, proportion of soldiering far a
population of nine million who had a:so a navy to
instals. Of those rimraits • fourth part had bus
kiliod. and three-eighths were returned upon the
country invalided; as that, between the widows,
orphan • and invalids, the chirp capon the countrywas
extremely burdensome, and the prospect of a wall-
ring of rasa as diaeousging u could well be. Oso
would think that whim affairs looked darker still.
and actual invasion was expected, 00TernEheaf
waa.d have hailed every proposal for segmenting
the dermal's force of the country, sad have mired
rwrry opportunity for encouraging voluntary effort.
We have heard from our fathers how far otherwise
it was; and we meet with evidences in the rosesins
of the political men of the timr. The Government
spared no compulsion to obtain the greatest potable
of men fur the army; but it did not the
any so,dirring elsewhere. It wan, in fact, afraid to
Vat the pimple with arms. There was no with-
standing the fervour of the middle dames whoa the
pesos of Amiens came to an and. When the
Livery of Loudon off. rcd money, and Lloyds insti-
tuted • had for the heath.. of the woundad and

a , Iniervo that the krt. VICCA:IIIIN( at the
Catch, dge monist, has had his daub:, 'boat slow
udents handling the rifle. The &abbe,

are happily got rid of, or we might refer Wait the
budlike' of University zeal 56 years ago, when the
students drilled in blue jacket, black gratin, &a, as
told in the cbrcuicles of the time. They trusted—
the students, their tutors, the lawyers of the Luis,
the Loudon Livery, the merchants on 'Change
—that they were doing good, not only by making
themselves soldiers, but by setting an example
which the country would follow. But the
country was not allowed to follow it. When
Mr. Purr brought forward his Additional Force
Bill, it was for the purpose of compensating
for the failure of all—even the most expensive--
methods of recruiting ; things-having now arrived
at such a pus, according to the Minister's own
declaration in the House, that of 30,000 balloted,
net more than 2,000 ar 3,000 appeared to serve.
Yet, under these desperate circumstances, the dread of
allowing the people to handle arms, disguised some-
times under an exclusive deference to the principle
of a standing army, nullified the grand resource of •
domestic volunteer force. The militia was drawn
from the north to the southern counties, so as to
leave Hull and other ports defenceless; and yet the
Yorkshire and other people were snubbed, or pat off
with vague thanks, when there was not a day to
loss in preparing to defend their coasts and towns.
The excuse was a deficiency of arms ; but no effort
was made to supply the want. The larger were the
county meetings for the purpose of organising
plans, the more uninformed were Lord-Lieutenants
and other authorities sore to be about the wishes
and intentions of Government; so that nothing was
done. Colonels of Yeomanry Cavalry, who had
spent ranch trouble and money on their troops, were
mortified with refusals when they offered their ser-
vices to Government. Proposal/ of volunteer service
were left unanswered, or tampered with till they
WTI withdrawn. There was plenty of boasting,
probably for the edification of the French, of the
noble spirit of the nation, shown in volunteering;
bat if the French had come, they would have found
oar fathers armed with hedge-stakes, scythes, or
pollen, if :at all; for the paternal Ktho and hie
Ministers were literally more afraid of seeing them
with arms in their hands than the enemy.
The whale subject was gone into before long, and
partly in consequence of the perplexity of that time
which had brought out two parties, each with its
doctrine about military defence. Mr. PITS had set
ea foot an inquiry into the reasons of the failure of
reuniting, the result of which was that prodigioas
ahem were discovered (and some punished), and
that it was found practicable to obtain more
reunite of a higher quality on lower terms
than hitherto. This was • new resource to the
enemies of volunteer defesee. They declared that
to improve the condition and prospect of the soldier
was the true way to Improve our security. It would
spare as thegreat evil of competition with the army
as a state mubine, whose function could not be in-
terfered with without calamity. The opposite ar-
gument, urged against PITT and WINDHAM, was
the same that we seem to be all agreed upon now;
that if our emantry and its institutions continue
worthy of our love, and we are brought up to value
them drily, we shall not willingly consign them to
the protection of a standing army, the bagmen of
which lies mainly elsewhere than in our own island ;
hat shall qualify ourselves to defend them by our
right arms, as weU as by political action. Such wee
the controversy in WINDHAM'S time, a time when
nothing was so formidable to Government as the
motion of the people meddling with their instilla-
tions, or taking personal charge of them.
Great indeed is the change. There may be still—
s. there always will be—eonse jealousy in military
queens at every proposal to diffuse the art of de-
fuse, at least wider military forme. Prellsaiesal
*Wier* will never believe that anybody ontside of
their body sea learn soldiering in any effective mar
nor, and will never cordially seaatimanse nay experi-
ment of the sort; but the time is past when the
authorities can deprive is of the mass of trying
oar own experiments. The oil bugbear of the
denier of trusting the elitism with arms is
disposed of, unless indeed there be sense minded
moireor superannuated general who retains such a
soweeption of the people of England. The whole
manes is attached to its Sovereign ; and, if net
wholly satisfied on all matters of law and polities.
aware that the right way to improve them is
through a farther reform of Parliament. W• Mee
been roused by the late war to perceive that the
long pewee had impaired our military habits
and physical training, though not our sol-
dierly spirit and qsatity ; and we are ready
sad eager now, while under no pressure
of immediate peril se defiance, to see the
eppartaniiy of • warlike stir in Europe to
train ourselves to the most active and inspiring of
atisen duties, that of holding our ground, not only
metaphorically, as before the eyes of all nations, but
literally, under our own feet, keeping our territory
sacred from the tread of an invader. We do not, as
oar readers know, apprehend invasion, or other war-
fare, if we can but render Government a true expo-
nent of the national mind ; but we are not behind
the wildest alarmists in desiring that every English-
man's arm should be able to keep his head, and that
en should enjoy the educational advantage of • mili-
tary training, inspired by a patriotic purpose. The
very circumstance that each • training is now fees

fruit obstacles indicate* a state of political and as-
thma security so profound me to render the institu-
tion of our Volunteer Co' mpanies, under their various
samea, a high Wield. instead of the desperate, dark
sad discouraging afftir that It wee half • cos-
tar] ago._

THE WAR.

LATEST NEWS.

The following official bulletin (we learn from Mr.
Reuter) was published yesterday at Turin :
" The enemy, to the number of 2,000, after having
occupied Biel* for a short time, has again withdrawn.
Austrian reconnoitering parties had advanced as far
es Ivrea, but seeing the preparations for defence they
withdrew.

"The command of the troops for the defence of
Twin has been given to General Sonnaz."

A telegram from Berne says :
"Marshal Canrobert directs the operations of the
allies. His head quarters are at Alessandria. The
French and Sardinians are supposed to amount
to 120,000 men, and the Austrians 140,000.
" A considerable corps of Croats have entered
Como. The city has been placed under heavy con-
tributions of provisions, and a fine of 5,000 florins on
account of the display of a tri-colour Bag before the
chateau of Baravello."

The position of the Austrian', according to
the latest account', is thus sketched by the Brus-
sels Indervidance of yesterday :—" It seems from
the last bulletins published at Turin that if the
Austrian army has suspended its movements
in the direction of Voghera, Tortoni, sad
Aleseandria, its right wing continues to de-
ploy and to march onwards. It has reached
Buroozo and Saltuisola ; they mention it also at
San Germano, where it is raising entrenchments.
Salussola is a station on the railway which leads
from Bielle to Vercelli. &Immo is a little to the
right ; by its occupation the troops at Salamis are
joined to those whose departure from Vercelli, in
the direction of Gattinari, we mentioned yesterday.
More to the south the Austrians who have
not been able to cross the Po at Frani-
netto, have attacked the head of the bridge
at Came., but without succeeding in carrying
it. While gaining ground towards the north, the
Austrians compensate by the construction of en-
trenchment' for any danger which the extents'
extension of their line of operations may offer. We
hays said that they are raising entrenchments at
San Germano ; they are constructing them also
along and in front of Semis, in such a manner as to
units to the advantages of a defensive position the
possibility of an unexpected attack upon points that
are badly guarded, and the benefit of living in an
enemy's country. Under these circumstances, the
allies who have profited by the time to increase their
forces and to complete their material, cannot long
delay assuming the offensive. The departure of
the Emperor Napoleon is a sign of their intentions.
Ws shall soon, then,recein important news from the
theatre of war."

The intention of the Duke of Chartres to serve in
the Piedmontese army hu been overruled by the
advice of the Orleans princes, his uncles, and he is
about to leave Turin for England.
The Hereditary Grand Duke of Tuscany hu re-
solved, it appears, to eater the Austrian army, and
to MUM in the war. He is already nominally colonel
of the Bth Dragoons.
" It is afirmed," says the &dependance of Brus-
sels, " that the great powers will come to an under-
standing to guarantee the neutrality of the duchy of
Parma, a neutrality which the Ductless herself is
'axioms to secure."

The government of the Two &lollies has given
notice by its agents at the different European courts
that his Neapolitan Majesty intends to observe the
strictest neutrality."
Prince Nicholas of Nassau has jest taken leave of
the Chambers, prior to leaving for the Austrian
army. In his farewell speech he congratulated him-
self on being the drat Oerman prince who took up
arms " for the defence of the common country."
A Berlin letter, in the Elbfrfeld Gautte, says :
" The last accounts from Hungary state that great
agitation prevails amongst the Magyar and Bela-
Tonkin population', anxious to recover the rights
wrested from them ten years ago. Agitation also
prevails in Galicia and in the Polish provinces of
Austria."

The Pisdasontese journals publish a circular ad-
dressed by the Archbishop of Genoa to the clergy of
his diocese, recommending them to offer op public
prayers for the Piedmontese army. The tone of
this document is highly patriotic.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, in commu-
nicating to his clergy the circular of the Minister of
Public Instruction relative to public prayers for the
mass of the French arms, his addressed to them a
poloral letter which concludes in these words:
Amidst the grave circumstances in which Frame Is pieced,
Ile Snot thought of the clergy is to tarn towards Clod, who
belle to his hands the hearts of Kings, and who raises or
seats down empties as he Owes. War, whatever may be
the bens of glory to which it may raise a nation, it always
