• THE DAY'S NEWS.
The War news this morning adds but little to that
previously known. Letters from Turin mention that
General Gyulai has removed his head-quarters to
Garlasco, and has everywhere ordered arms in the
possession of the people to be given up, under pain of
shooting in case of non-observance of the order. The
Austrians and Modenese have retired from Reggio to
Brescello, where the Duke of Modena is making
preparations for defence. Garibaldi has made forty-
seven more prisoners. The Austrian prisoners taken
at Montebello have arrived at Marseilles. Before
their departure from Alessaudria, the Emperor
Napoleon distributed money among them for their
relief. Revolutionary movements are reported to
have taken place in Lombardy, The Paris corres-
pondent of the Times says it is reported that Prince
Napoleon and his corps are to march through the
Duchy of Modena, and thence either to Venice or
Milan, where he will meet the Emperor. The
Journal des Debuts states that the Prince, whose

corps is to consist of 35,000 men, will co-operate
with the Tuscan army commanded by General
Ulloa. In the address of Prince Napoleon to the
Tuscans, he says, " Napoleon 111. has declared that he
feels but one ambition —that of accomplishing the
triumph of the sacred cluse of the emancipation of
a people ; and that he never would be influenced by
family interests." The Times publishes a letter from
its correspondent, in the Austrian camp, on the 17th.
He says, " the Austrian force, south of the Po, have
been again diminished." The correspondence is only
brought down to the 19th, the day before the battle
of Montebello. The Austrians have spared Count
Cavour's farm, near Vercelli, although the peasantry
urged them to Sack it. The Paris Debats, of
Tuesday, says the Austrians have twenty bridges
thrown over the Po, either to attack or secure their
retreat. The Tyrol is to be occupied by a corps
of 40,000 men.
pA letter from Munich says the present success of the cause is owing, and to which
Austrians have 000,000 fighting men in Italy.

opinions of

The Ministerial journal we have been quoting
maintains, that "it is the genuine Conservative
feeling of the nation, the diffusion of Conservative
doctrines through the land, and the able administra-

tion of a Conservative Government, to which the

of the Conservative Ministry being yet in an actual
minority of at least forty, or more, in the House of
Commons. This is a result of the General Election
that must not be lost sight of in any fair and reason-
able calculation. And it is one that it will be found,
in all probability, on some pretext or other that will
be framed for the purpose of defeating the Ministry,
to furnish a practical difficulty not only formidable
but insurmountable. Ministers have added con-
siderably to their supporters,—they have decreased
thereby the majority against them ; but they have
not done it away; it is still a majority capable of
being directed, by some skilful dodge, to their early
overthrow.

But, on the other hand, if not discomfiture, dis-
traction, and even disruption, are almost equally
imminent in the ranks of the Opposition. " Should
the Derby Cabinet be turned out," says the Saturday
Review, "the troubles of the Liberals will then begin.
We say nothing of the difficulty of forming an
Administration, though no doubt such a difficulty

exists, and is admitted by the Liberal reports of
Tory overtures to Lord PALMERSTON. On the

whole, howeve

the chances of effecting some sort
of compromise between conflicting pretensions have
been improved by the Election, for the most exacting
of Whigs will be ashamed to justify the very taunts
which have been echoing through the length and
breadth of the country. But what degree of sup-
a Liberal Administration count on
receiving ? The Opposition newspapers sum up the
returns so as to give the Liberals a majority of about
fifty, but this result is attained by the simple
expedient of reckoning everybody a Liberal who
does not expressly style himself a Tory. A much
more decisive criterion is furnished by an analysis of
the great division in the last Parliament on Lord
JOHN RUSSELL'S Resolution. This trial of strength
has a peculiar value from the numerousness of the
attendance and the fewness of absentees. The
majority, it will be remembered, was thirty-nine.
Now, at the lowest computation, Lord DERBY may
fairly be considered as having obtained twenty-three
seats by the dissolution: Twenty-three thorough-
going Conservatives have been substituted for
twenty-three thorough-going Liberals, and twenty-
three seats give forty-six votes on a division. Lord
JOUN's majority has therefore been destroyed.
There still remain, however, the thirty-two Liberals
who voted for the second reading of the Government
Bill, and it may be noted as curious that scarcely
one of these gentlemen has lost his seat. Let
us set them down to the credit of the
Liberal party, to which they_ ostensibly be-
long, and they will give the real measure
of the majority on which a Liberal Adminis-
tration will have to depend. Surely this is the sort
of staff which, like the reed of Scripture, will break
in the hand and rend the shoulder ; and, under such
circumstances, the closest union among all sections
of Liberals will be of the first necessity. How shall
one sufficiently compassionate the situation of a
Whig Government which holds office at the pleasure
of thirty and odd adherents, of whose dispositions
nothing certain is known except that they deserted
the confederated Liberals in the greatest and most
elaborately prepared political demonstration which
has been made during the last ten years ?"
Such, then, it is in this way calculated, will be
found to be the ultimate result of the Elections.
No—not altogether the ultimate, although an
ulterior result. For the old Duke's question will
have to be answered, " How is the Queen's Govern-
ment to be carried on ?" A Government might,
perhaps, be carried on by a coalition of all the shades
of Liberalism extant; but would it be " the Queen's
Government 2" We think not. _ The answer, there-
fore, to that important question may not improbably
have to be sought for, and that before very long, in
another appeal to the country.
