exceptions to these habits, and hers end there will be found
families with domestic enjoyments, but the number of
them has been much diminished by the order or disorder of
extravagance so countenanced and encouraged by the pre-
sent dynasty. The evil ia not confined to the wealthy
classes, it demands through all clams with the modi-
fication of circumstances. The shopkeeper and his wife,
. .

the artisan and hie wife, are all for the vanities and enjoy-
ments within their reach, se much as the millionnaire and
his wife. The occupation for the thoughts which politics
once provided being gone, the general pursuit now in plea-
sure, and the means of obtaining it by hook or by crook,
generally on the miry field of the bourse. In such a state of
things there must be a tendency to every sort of degeneracy,
moral and physical, and we may expect to see the French
nation, under the sway of its present intensely selfish vices,
dwindling more than under the guillotine of the Terrorists,
or the desolating wan of the First Napoleon. Her declinieg
population is the reproachful record agaiest her.

PIEDMONT.
(nom Qua srscam. cowl

TURIN, Aran. 13.

The great question at prevent is, supposing the
dispute between Austria end Piedmont to take •
more serious turn, what will be the conduct of
England and Prance, and how can they mediate?
What is the cause of the difference between Pied-
mont and Austria? Austria's sole complaint is the
ILberty of the press enjoyed by Piedmont. Can
Louis Napoleon, who gags the press in Femme, who
wished to do so la Belginni, as was proved by the
speech of Count Walewski at the Congress of Paris,
can he take part against Austria in such a quarrel
as this f Apart from all diplomatic trickery, Louis
Napoleon, even to preserve the appearance of
consideney, must in the present dispute act along
with and to favour of Austria. The whole quarrel,
according to the Emperor of Austria and Count
Baal, is owing to the personal conduct of Count
Cam is, n not restricting the press in Piedmont.
If Count Caesar attempted this, or even if he was
suspected of trying to make any inroads upouthe
constitution, he would at once cease to be minister.
The innumerable daily papers published not only in

e7to be consistent, must be against Piedmout ;
and England is bound, not only in honour but by
intrust, to support in Piedmont the same princt-
phie of which every inhabitant of Great Britain
b proud. But if Austria attacks Piedmont
and Prance, and England do not interfere,
is Piedmont able to defend herself? The Sardinian
army of all arms ma consist of 60,000 men, which
it is possible to r in leis than a mouth to
120,000 rues who hare all served as soldiers. An
octagonal correspondent from Turin, in our columns
lately stated that when the Emperor of Austria was
at Milan the feasibility of making an immediate
attack epos Piedmont became a matter of serious
essidossiliss. It is very passible that the natural
ill4maper of the young 'Emperor showed itself in
such an ebullition, but this must have been zeedily
subdued by the cool-headed science of the o cers of
the eta! of the Amid= army, perhaps the best edu-
cated of any in Europe. A glance at the map of the
north of Italy shows the foUy of such an attempt.
Take Milan as the point from which the Austrians
would probably concentrate to move to the attack.
To their right is Switzerland, and the left of the
Piedmontese is secure. From Arena, on Lego Mag-
giore, down to Genes, is a continuous line of railway,
nearly parallel to the frontier, though to a certain
extent distant. This railway is fed from the rail-
ways of the interior of Piedmont ; thus Alexandria,
Mortara, Novarra, are connected with all Piedmont.
Mortara is a great strategic point in possession
of the Piedmontem, and it hal now a railway to
Vigevesso, which ;staidly touches on the Lombard
frostier. The high reads from Milan, Pavia, Pla-
sma, Ceessons, and Mantua, to Turin, pass through
Mortars, which is in bet the strongest strategic point
of Piedmont. Let us seam that there are upwards
of 100,000 AustrLas in the Lombardo-Venetian
states. They maim not Ire than 60,000 men to
hold these Ades is tiablesboe, thus leaving them
60,000 men against Piedmoat. To get into Pied-
mont they must ace either the Ticano or the Po.
If they move upon Novena, the time they would
weepy on such a mark hose the frontier would
allow the Piedmontese, by the railways, to muster
in great force at Novarra, from Biella and Ivrea in
the north, Anna to the north-east, Suss. at the
bottom of Mount Cenis to the west, Pinerolo to the
south-west, the three last passing through Turin,
thence by Vercelli to Novarra. While these troops
were moving, a large force could come horn Genoa
to Alexandria, thence to Mortara, thus threatening
the left flank of the Austrians, while from Mortara
by railway to Vigevano their rear could be at-
tacked. If the Austrians arrived near Novarra
they would thus find their front, flanks, and rear
threatened by • superior force. The great point
is that railways are invaluable as a DUMB
of defence, and of comparatively little use to
the invaders. If the Austnazis make their first move
towards Mortara, they are in a still more ticklish
position, as at this point the whole force of Piedmont
could be upon them in a few hours. Suppose they
were at first victorious, each step in advance towards
Turin or Alexandria would increase their danger.
If they attempted Alexandria, they would come upon
the best fortified part of Piedmont, and if they
moved upon Genoa, not • man of them would ever
return.

The Austrians in Piedmont would be under the
necessity of always moving in a solid undivided body,
as the Piedmontese, with all safety, by means of the
railways at tbcir command, could crush detachments.
Such in Piedmont would be the force of military
spinet military. To the Sardinian army, how-
ever, most be added the National Guard j and,
what would be of still more detriment to the
Austrians, the intense hatred in which they' are
held by the population of Piedmont. Besides this,
the moment an Austrian army left the Lombardo-
Venetian territory to at Piedmont, all Italy
would be in a blase, and the Austrians in Lombardy
and Venice would be obliged to set as the French
did in 1813 and 1814, sod retire into the garrisons,
thus leaving the Italian peoples to find their way to
Piedmont, not only from Austrian Italy but from
Naples, the Papal States, Tuscany, Modena, and
Parma, who, thus getting into the rear of the Aus-
trian army, would place it in the same difilculty, and
expose it to the same destruction, an befell that of
Dupont in Spain. If, therefore, France and England
would abandon their deceitful milk-and-water diplo-
miiey, and leave Piedmont and Austria to settle their
own affairs, the cause of liberty and constitutional
franet would, ere long, be triumphant in the
a peninsula.
