L a telegram from Vienna, dated yesterday (re-
ceived by Mr. Renter) informing as of an announce-
ment by General Gyulai that the Austrian army had
advanced without any serious combat as for as
Cambio and Coazo. The headquarters were on the
evening of Monday at Lomello.
The Nord of to-day my. that in well-informed
circles it is believed that the Austrians have given
up their intention of marching upon Turin, and par-
poem first to try the fate of a great battle. Some
days are necessary to make choice of the positions.
The tenth is suggested as the probable day, by
which time the Emperor of the French will have
arrived at Turin and have taken commend of his
army.

Before the lapse of fifteen days the French army
in Sardinia, the Nord says, will be 100,000 strong.
The Prince Napoleon, who is making active prepa-
rations for his deparatare, will oommand • corps of
observation at a place which at present is kept secret.

The official Wiener Zeit ung publishes a note of
Count Walewskl to the French Ambassador M. de
Hammonle, dated April 29, and a note of M. de
Banneville to Count Boot, dated 2nd of May, by
which diplomatic relations between Preece and
Austria are broken off. The Austrian ambassador
at Paris, M. de Hubner, has demaaded his pan•
porta.

The Marquis Massimo d'Azeglio has arrived In

The organisation of a free corps has commenced at
the Austrian capital.
Count de Trautmansdorff, Anetrian Ambassador
at the court of Berlin, has gone to Milan.
The Vienna Gazette in publishing the news of
the pimp of the Ticino, adds:
Thee the campaign of Italy has commenced. We publidt
this grave Istaltigenos with hearts full of accidence; for we
►now, rodeos every faithful Austrian, that right is on ear
side. The addises who hays gone to dght for this
right crested the frontiers with shouts of joy, knowing that

titans deed hovers over the Amstrian eaglee—bovers over the
soldiers whom it accompanies to-day beyond the Titl2o,
as it coos conducted the. to Novels. This every roldier of
the army knows, and not one of them wishes to return
without a breach of laurel to place on the tomb of Father
Redetsky.

" The passage of the French troops," aye the
Courrier des Alpss, "continues to go on regularly,
and the enthusiasm of the people remaim unabated.
At every train that arrives an immense crowd sh-
amble, and greet the soldiers with hearty cheers,
who reply by cries of " Vice Victor Emmanuel r
"Vice la Savoie !" The trains yesterday contained
foot and horse chasseors. sappers of the engineers,
gendarmes, and regiments of the line. The whole
of General Renault's division, 12,000 strong, has
passed over Mount Cenis. The road to Matirienne
is covered with troops."

Postal communication between Milan and Pied-
mont wu suppressed on the 30th.

A Pans correspondent of the Brussels Incllpete-
dance writes:—" The young Duc de Chartres who,
as has been stated, will take part in the war under
the Piedmont's° flag, holds the rank of sub-lien-
tenant in the regiment of dragoons at Nice, com-
manded by General Caccia. The participation by a
grandson of King Louis Philippe in a contest under-
taken under such circumstances, msy astonish some
people; but there was no motive which could jus-
tify a French prince, who had become a soldier, in
even dreaming of abstention at a moment when the
roar of cannon is beard, nor could any politir,l
consideration weigh with him agsinst a duty of
honour."

It was stated a few days back, in telegrams and
private letters, that the bridge of Baffalora had been
blown up by the Austrians. This bridge formed a
viaduct of the railway between Novara and Milan ;
and it now appears, by a despatch from Bellinzona
in the Suisse of Berne, that it was the Piedmontcse
who, on retiring, destroyed the bridge.

The Graveßone, named in the French official tele-
grams announcing the invasion of Piedmonteee terri-
tory by the Austrian troops, is a canal which runs
from the Ticino, winds about three kilometres to the
west, and turning east again rejoins the Ticino below
the bridge of Pavia. Cussalo, to which point the
Austrians had penetrated by Abbiate-Orasso, and
which, by a mistake, was confounded with Casale in
some of the telegrams, is a little village near Vige-
vano, in the province of Novae.. The market town
of Abbiata-Graseo, memorable as place where the
Chevalier Bayard died in 1624, is on Lombard soil,
and is situated on the river Naviglo•Orande, about
15 leagues from Pavia.

At Florence, M. Mania has been appointed aide- I
de-aainp to General Ulloa.
It is stated in the Indipeadance Belga that the
English minister at Florence was amoogot the mast
argent of the diplomatic corps in prevailing upon
the Grand Duke to quit the country, rather than to
abdicate. His excellency, the same authority states,
used all his efforts to prevent the prince from
going to Bologna, and even offered to accompany
him, if ha would put himself ander the protection at
England, or withdraw to Porto-Ferrajo.

The Cornier delk saps th►t the report is
again current that the Pope is likely to retire to
Gaeta during the war between France and Austria,
and it adds that " a member of the Seared College,
acoompanied by two high ecclesiastical dignitaries.

FRANKFORT-ON-TIM-MAINZ, M•r 3.
An extraordinary sitting of the Federal Diet was
held yesterday, at which the Austrian ambamador
explened the reasons which had induced the
Emperor to order the advance of his troops into
Sardinia.

The Aufrian ambassador's communication was
then submitted by the Diet to the committee for the
management of military affairs.

THE NEW FRENCH LOAN.

The Monitor' of thin morning contains, we
learn from Mr. Reuter, the following decrees :
" 1. The engagement of volunteers for two year*"
service is now to be accepted.
" 2. The second decree authorises the supply of
substitutes for military service by administrative
means, with a premium of 2,000 fr. for seven years.
" 3. The loan orgies hundred millions of francs is
to be contracted by national subscription. It will
be a Three per Cent, loan at 60fr. 60c., with interest
from December Let, or a Four-and-a-Half per Cent.
loan imued at 90fr., with interest payable from
March last The instalments are to be paid as fol-
lows :—One-tenth at the time of subscribing, and
the remainder in eighteen monthly calls. The mi-
nimum subscription to be taken is ten banes, which
eabeeription alone will be allotted in full.
"The Minister of Finance states in his report
accompanying this decree that the condition of the
public treasury is most favourable, and that the
resources at his disposal would allow him, without
encroaching upon funds necessary for usual current
services, to devote more than 300 million franca to
war expenses."
The following projects of law have been presented
to the Corps Lighted', namely:—For opening for
the Minister of War a credit of 90 millions, for the
levy of the military elms of 1839, which is not, how-
ever, in any we to be Galled in before January,

RUSSIA.

THE TREATY STORY.

A despatch from St Petersburg, dated yesterday,
received by Mr. Renter, states that the following
note has been published in the official newspapers:
" We are authorised to declare in the moat posi-
tive manner that there exists no treaty of alliance
offensinand defensive between Russia and any other
power whatsoever. At a moment when all Europe
is making maritime or military armaments on a
large scale, the Emperor was obliged to provide by
measures of political prudence for any emergencies.
His Majesty retains in the present conjuncture
11 entire liberty of action, and we hardly need add
that he is animated only by the sentiment of the
dignity of his crown, and the interests of the
country."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

MOM OVZ ORS COZILZIPONDRIIIT.)
DECLARATION OF WAR.—PROCLAMATION
OF NAPOLEON 111.
Pl3lB, l'eseDAT panto.

At the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-
day, Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
having been introduced with the usual ceremonial,
informed the representatives that he had been
ordered by the Emperm to inform them that the
French diplomatic agent at Vienna was directed on
the 26th ult. to notify to the Austrian cabinet that
the entrance of the Austrian troops into the Pied-
montese territory would be considered by France u
equivalent to a declaration of war ; that the Atm-
trim ferries having on the 29th entered Piedmont,
Austria was at present in a state of war with
France.

A similar statement was made by the
Minister of State in the Senate.

A supplement to the Moniteur, published at 4
o'clock this afternoon, oontalos the following:

"PROCLAMATION.
"THE EMPEROR TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE.
" FRENCHMEN,

" Austria, by ordering the entry of her army into
the territories of the King of Sardinia, our ally, has
declared war against us. She thus violates treaties
and justice, and menaces our frontiers. All the
great powers have protested against this act of
aggression. Piedmont having accepted the con-
ditions which ought to have ensured peace, every one
este what can be the reason of this sudden invasion ?
It is because Austria has driven matters to such an
extremity that her dominion must either extend to
the Alpe, or Italy must be free to the shores of the
Adriatic, for every corner of Italy which remains
independent endangers the power of Austria.
" Hitherto moderation has been the rule of my
conduct, but now energy becomes my first duty.
France must now to arms, and resolutely tell Europe :
' I wish not for conquest, but I am determined
firmly to maintain my national and traditional
policy. I observe treaties on condition that they are
not violated against me. I respect the territories
end the rights of neutral powers, but I boldly avow
my sympathies with a people whose history is
mingled with our own, and who now groan under
foreign oppression.'
" France has shown her hatred of anarchy. Her
will was to give me power sufficiently strong to
reduce into subjection abettors of disorder and the
incorrigible members of old factions, who are inces-
sandy seen concluding compacts with our enemies;
but she has not fur that purpose abandoned her
civilising mission. Her natural allies have always
been those who desire the amelioration of the
human race, and when she draws the sword it is
not to govern, but to free. The object then of this
war is to restore Italy to herself, not to impose
upon her a obsuge of masters; end we shall
then have upon our frontiers a friendly peo-
ple, who will owe to us their independence.
We do not enter Italy to foment disorder, or to
disturb the power of the Holy Father, whom we
replaced upon his throne, but to remove from him
this foreign pressure, which burdens the whole
Peninsula, and to help to establish in Italy
order based upon satisfaction of legitimate inte-
rests. In fine, then, we enter this classic ground,
rendered illustrious by so many victories, to
follow in the steps of our fathers. God grant
that we may be worthy of them. lam
about to place myself at the head of the army. I

kayo in France the Empress and my eon.

Seconded by the experience and the enlighten-
ment of the Emperor's last surviving brother,

she will understand how to show herself
worthy of the grandeur of her mission. I

confide them to the valour of the army which re-
mains in France to keep watch upon our frontiers
and to protect our homes. I confide them to the
patriotism of the National Guard. I confide them,
in a word, to the entire people, who will encircle
them with that affection and devotedness of which I
daily receive so many proof,. Courage, then, and
union ! Oar country is again about to show the
world that she has not degenerated. Providence
will blots our efforts; for that cause is holy in the
eyes of God which rests on justice, humanity, love
of country, and independence."
The Pays glue a positive contradiction to the
news telegraphed to London of collisions in Pied-
mont between the Austrian and Sardinian armies.
A despatch from Turin, dated at 10 o'clock this
morning, affirms that no engagement had taken
place up to that time. There have, however, been
rumours of engagements all day, but they are very
probably unfounded, although, as we know by ex-
perience, it will not be safe to receive official state-
ments too implicitly.
The Austrian ambassador, M. de Hubner, who
hu delayed his departure till the last possible
moment, must of course go now that war is formally
declared. He will probably leave to-night or to-
morrow morning. _ _ _

In the Pays M. Granier de Cassagnac draws a
parallel between the position of Austria with regard
to Russia in 1853 and that of England with regard
to Austria in 1859. As the indecision of Austria was
the real cause of the war with Russia, so he con-
tends the indecision of England his been the cause
of the present war with Austria. He upbraids the
tory ministry not with bad intentions, but with
'weakness for not having backed up its opinion of
Austria's misgovernment in Italy, by threatening to
join France in the war, and expresses a hope that
Lord Palmerston, if recalled to power, will make up
for Lord Derby's deficiencies, and bring about peace
by threatening Austria with war. Unless be as'
pires to this proud and noble result to draw closer
the alliance between France and England, and to
" pacify Europe with a word," M. Granier de Cu-
'apse eannot understand any motive for Lord Pal-
merston's ambition of power. "As to France, so
long is Italy is saved, she will always be equally
ready for peace or war."
The Italian general, Lents Montefeltro, who till
lately thought himself authorised to raise en Italian
legion in Paris, has just been informed by the Pre-
fect of Police that the French government has every
possible sympathy for him and his cause, bat that
he must go to Turin to raise his legion. The Pre-
fect of Police has, however, put down his name for
500 fr. to the subscriptions for equipping Italian
volunteers, and the Emperor has given I,ooofr. The
Italians in Paris begin to be uneasy at the small
account made of the Piedmonteee now that the
French army is in possession of Piedmont. M.
Granier de Cessiguat's articles are considered very
ominous.

.
The panto goes on at the Boone. The Emperor',
reclamation was placarded before the end of bad-

new, but it produced no effect upon the drooping
spirits of speculators. The Rente fell 70c. for cash,
and 360. for account, closing at 60fr. 60c. and
606. 66e. Mobilier fell 12fr. 60c. The Orleans
Railway fell 226.60 x; Northern, 12fr. 60c.; Lyons,
106. ; Southern, 6fr. ; Eutsrn, 15fr. ; and West-
, ern, lfr. 26c. _ . .

The Freese aye, in ita weekly commercial re-
view :

Rare= generally continues In the same stagnant state
u before, anything like animation being solely °panel to
those manufactories which are engaged in articles connected
with wars tee equipments. Some foreign dealers have during
the pan west visited different homes in the hope of belag
able, in consequence of the doll etas of affairs, to make pur-
chases on advantageous teams. In that, however, they have
been diseppointed ; for stocks being only medseeetely large,
the holders have refined to make any eamidoe until they see
a probability of a thane la the price of raw material,.
Last week, being Ruler week, which is generally a
period when little Madams Is done, has also tended to
Isamu the geeeral heaviness. Little or nothing has been
done at Resin, either in printed goods or cotton twin, and
the saw may be said of Roubaix and Mulhausen. At Lyons
some trifling orders hare been received from the Milted
Stoles, bat ethers which had been lately_glven der Italy and
Germany have been countermanded. The raw sugar trade
in Feria still continues in an inanimate state, bat without
say aleteela change in prices. In refined sugar business is
waned to actual wants. There ie very little doing in coffee,

TURIN!, APRIL 90.
I have seen the French enter Turin early this
morning. The drums of the national guard roused
the whole town at six. But the Turin people are
early risers, and needed no reveille. Before I reached
the Victor Emmanuel Railway-station a crowd had
assembled there. By seven o'clock the roads in
every direction, the walls and bulwarks of
Emmanuel Phitiberfe half dismantled citadel, were
lined with dense masses. I heard old inhabitants
say they had never witnessed such a gathering of
men in their town. The national guard, from 8,000
to 8,000 strong—the finest and most martial-looking
of all burgher militia in the world—were at their
place. Old General Oonoaz, at the head of
a brilliant staff, amongst whom I recognised Da
Bormida, a late minister of war, was on the spot
about 7, and they had to sit on their saddles till nine
o'clock, when the first detachment of French troops,
the Chsaseurs de Vincennes, brought in by two or
three encomeive trains, issued: from the station, first
at ape* de charge, then at a run. I spare you the
shouting, drumming, trumpeting, and clapping of
hands, the flowers thrown by fair hands at the brisk
looking soldiers ea they passed under the balconies
in the streets. It was a population drank with joy ;
but lees noisy, and wild, and stormy than that of
any other Italian town would have been under
similar circumstances. The Piedmontese are quiet,

nay, alm cia grave, even in their carnival frOlica:
No emotion can Mir the good Twines' out of their

proprieties.
The French themselves were no novelty to me,
though I do not remember ever seeing them before
thus equipped for actual campaign. The Chian=
are young, small, hungry-looking men, laden with
knapsack, cslxote, soup bowls, tent poles, botterie de
euinne, provisions, and other nameless and number-
less things, quite a disproportionate burden, to all
appearance, to such diminutive shoulders. Their
gait, however, is easy and lively, and they seem to
delight in making light of their load. The costume
is perfection as to usefulness and convenience ; and
it ts not unpicturesque. These men are soldiers
and nothing else—the man has been rooted out of
them as the woman out of the Amazon of old, to
leave nothing but the fighting machine. There are
no better light troops in the world—there can
be no better. Only the Piedmontese Bersaglieri
are worthy, or indeed able, to march by their side.
Altogether it was an impressive, and, to the eyes of
most of the bystanders, a gay and happy scene. The
Novara Railway-station commands a view of the
Alpine ehainon one side, and of the Turin hills on
the other. The great mountains were clear at an
early hour, and their snowy crests shone in all their
brightness. The Collins, with the temple of Sapsega
on its culminating point, wu bathed in thin summer
haze. The air was warm, still, and somewhat heavy.
It was not quite a cheerful morning, though every
heart was merry round me. (There have been
April showers later in the day.) I looked round
that immense mass of staring, gazing, grinning,
bawling faces, and wondered was there one serious
mind in the midst of so many that took in and
weighed well the full meaning and import of the
scene he beheld ? Yon stern citadel was the work
of Emmanuel Philibert, the iron head, and the con-
queror of St. Quentin, the first Prince of Savoy who
in the sixteenth century fixed the residence of the
House of Savoy at Tann, and gave its policy a de-
cided Italian tendency. In yonder citadel the
French had once—in the seventeenth century—a
home; they were there besieged by the Spaniards,
masters of the town, who in their turn were be-
sieged by a French army in possession of the country.
Round yonder citadel, and round the whole town, at
the beginning of the eighteenth century, the French
were routed by the Austrians under Prince Eugene,
and left 15,000 men strewn dead on the plain.
From yonder citadel, at the end of the
same century, the French republicans insulted
the Piedmontese, and worried almost to death the
ill-fated Charles Emmanuel IV., holding him as a
prisoner in his palace during two long years of a
treacherous mock alliance. For full three hundred
years this notable shuttlecock of Piedmont, tossed to
and fro by the invaders of Italy, was induced or
forced into French alliances, which almost invari-
ably turned to its detriment. The past is sad, omi-
nously sad, to look back upon ; but there is every
reason to believe that the circumstances, both of
Piedmont and Savoy, of Italy and France, are
changed for the better, and it is my full conviction
that the Italians have it in their power to render this
last French occupation of their country as disin-
terested and truly brotherly as Napoleon has de-
clared it to be.
