FRANCE.

30th of April.-- -fln that date the Austrian head=
,quarters were at Garlaseo, a town midway between
Pavia and Mortara.

The Vienna public accuses Count Gyulai of having
unnecessarily delayed the passage of the army across
the Ticino, but it wrongs him, and that grievously.

The Austrian force were to have entered Sardinia
during. the night between the 26th and 27th of April,
but at the very last moment the British Government
made a proposition, which was readily accepted
by Austria and scornfully rejected by France.
This Government promised not to begin
hostilities against Sardinia . before the British
Cabinet had received the reply of France
to its proposal, and telegraphic instructions
were therefore forwarded to Count Gyulai not to
cross the Ticino until he received orders from
Vienna to do- so: The military authorities complained
bitterly of the " senseless meddling" of tbe.diploma-
fists, and irefully declared that the two or three
days gained by France and Sardinia would cost
Austria thousands of men and millions' of florins.
As it is positively known here that the Russian
Government means mischief, certain battalions have
received orders to return to, Gallicia, and a corps- of
observation will soon be posted in the neighbour-.
hood 'of Cracow. The news of the allianee between
RuSsia and France is said to havo 'produced an.
_exceedingly painful impression on the Emperor
Francis Joseph, and the report is, probably, correct
for yesterday his majesty looked very ill and de-
pressed. On the Ist instant he dined in the so-called
KaiSer-Garten, -in the Prater, and personS'Who saw:

ance, The Emperor and Empress . mere loudly

kindly feeling appeared to produce an, Agreeable
impression on the former. The Vie__
goodnatured race, now iriainfain that it is
entirely the fault of the." entourage" of the Sovereign
that the internal affairs of the Empire are in such an
unsatisfactory state. From the Polish. frontiers
we learn that Russian troops are now marching to-
wards Galicia, and at Warsaw it is related that two
corps are to be placed on the.south-west frontiers of
Russia. -Each of them will consist—on paper—of
about 60,000 men, and the one will be placed on the
Galician, and the other on the Bessarabian frontier.
The order. for -raising recruits in the kingdom of
Poland has not yet been issued, but the lists of this
year's conscripts have been made out. A Pole
writes to a friend in this city, that Russia will 'be
able to effect her purpose witlout any great exer-
tion. " She will wait," says he, until the , whole
world is at loggerheads, and there .is a general
insurrection in- European Turkey, and then she
will renew her quarrel with the Porte." It appears
as if France has accepted the offer which England
some years -ago declii.ed, and that the divison
of Turkey is about to take place.. Common prudence
requires that a very—watchful ere should ,be kept
on the movements of the Russians in-- -Turkey in
Europe, and of those of the French in Egypt and.
Syria. The Vienna papers the day. before yes-
terday announced' toe departure of M. de Banne-
ville, the- French Charge d'Affaires ; but it was
not until yesterday evening that he quitted Vienna.
'M. Decaire, the Chancellier of the Embassy,
is still here, but he is a naturalized Austrian
subject, and, as such, at liberty to remain.
.At the
very last moment, M. de Banneville sent the archives
of the Embassy to the Spanish Legation, and placed
the French 'residing in Austria under the protection
of M. Torre d'Ayllon, the representative of Spain at
this court. The Austrians do not appear to feel any
apprehension that the Spanish Cabinet will aid Louis
Napoleon in the effort which lie is now making
to establish what the Germans call a secundogenz-
here in Italy. Will Central Italy be better governed
by a Prince Napoleon, or Naples by a Prince Murat,
than Tuscany has been by a member of the
house of Hapsburg-Lorraine ? The memory of
the great publiC is retharkably short, and it may,
therefore, be well to recapitulate the principal Idees
Napoleoniennes. They are —the overthrow of the
things that be, by preaching the independence of
Italy and Piedmont ; by agitating in favour of a
union between Sardinia, Parma, Modena, and Tus-
cany ; by undermining the authority of the Bourbons
in Parma and Naples ; by encouraginc, Montenegro,
Servia, &c., to rise against the Porte ;.by reminding
the Poles of the flagrant wrong done to their native
country, and by talking to the Danes of the en-
croachments .of the Germans: The Belgians
are alternately cajoled and menaced by the
Emperor of the. French, and the :.Germans are
continually assured by him that he entertains no
hostile intentions towards them. English travellers
assure me that there are still people in Great Britain
who trust Louis Napoleon, but the confidence of
the Germans in his sincerity is entirely destroyed.
The South Germans are half beside themselves with
mingled fear and rage., and the Prussians feel. that
it will not be safe.. to temporize much longer.
Prussia, as you' must have learnt by electric • tele-
graph, is placing all her nine corps irarintse in prepa-
ration for war, and a person who well, knows what
is passing in Berlin states that orders have been
issued to supply all the . fortresses with provisions,
ammunition, &c. A German army of 250;000 men
thrown boldly into France would, doubtless, bring
the French to their senses at once, but, unfortu-
nately, Prussia is by no means likely to take
the field, unless Austria should be- signally
defeated by the French. Hanover yesterday pro-
posed to the Bund to act in accordance with direc-
tions contained in Article 47 of the Act of Confede-
ration, but the matter was probably— at the request
of Prussia—referred to the committee. The pith of
the article in question is, that if the committee of.
the Bund decides by a majority of votes that an
attack on the non-Federal possessions of a mem-
ber of the Confederation is attended with danger.
to the Federal territory, the Bund is bound to
take proper measures for, its defence. It is still
related in the German papers that the Prince Regent
of Prussia is to take the supreme command of all the
Federal armies, but I am inclined to doubt the cor-
rectness of the report.

AUSTRIA,

'l' the advanced guard across the Ticino on the

700 persons are working on a height which reci•-
man ds the fortress called Monte Pulito. The Austrian
work in an entrenched camp and in the immediate
neighbourhood. They have taken possessicn
of the casino of Cardinal Ferretti, villas, and various
fabriques. They are making a covered road, are
re-constructing the Lunette, fortifying the
placing a battery at the Cappucini, and all
around, strengthening it with cannon towards both
sea andland, especially towards the land. The city
has the appearance of being iu a state of siege ; in
a- few days it will be ready for defence.
The Papal banners are still unfolded: but . as if
in mockery. The Austrians dispose of everything
as usual. The few, cannoneers-belonging to the Pope
that remained, were to have been sent - away on
the 28th ; their barracks had been already taken
from them. The Gonfaloniere protests strongly
against these acts, and refuses everything.. The
.Delegate is embarrassed, not having received preciSe
orders from Rome. The telegraph from Ancona. to
Bologna is in the hands of the Austrians ; that to
Rome is open to. the public an hour or so in the day.
There was talk in Ancona of preparations- to resist a
blockade on the part of-France, and to give support
to a body of 30,000 Neapolitans who were said to
have crossed the Tronto and joined_ the. Austrians.
Such is. the information which I receive through
letters from Ancona. As a positive fact I know
that the Pope has again protested most strongly
against his: States being made battle-field, and
against this sudden ,invasion of the Austrians in
spite of remonstrances and- protests. News has
reached us this afternoon that General • Ulloa, so
:well known for his defence of :Venice, and who,
is, now in the. service •of the King -Of Sardinia' is
,marching - southwards towards Rieta, with- a de-
tachinetit - .of • Tuscans.. We • cannot make ,out
what their :object is: .I told you -in my • morning
letter -that some -of the French troops now in!. Rome
were ordered-off to .Rieta ; but I 'must suspend the -
statement —nothing . positive is • known or can be
.affirmed ;. indeed, officers, themselves do not know
their destination. A envious incident took place this
morning, I hear. The Papal dragoons were reviewed
on the Pinelo, and at the conclusion, the command-
ing officer is said to have addressed them, and cried
out, " Viva _Pie -None, e it Re delle Due Sicilie 1"
The cry was, however, received in dead Silence:
The Roman youth are burning .with impatienee
to start,. and 1,000 are now ready at a • moment's
notice. To-day, the great nobility will be called
upon to subscribe—indeed, throughout the higher
circles -of society, the greatest entlinsiasm 'prevails
for the Italian cause. A telegraphio despatch
arrived yesterday directing the 'Prince of Wales to
leave Rome. The day. fixed upon originally for his
departure was the 9th of May; this date will be
anticipated by
..a week, as he will now leave on
Monday,. the 2nd of May. He is going on. a
yachting eXpedition, which is to include the coast of
Spain and .cdbraltar. He will leave in the Scourge,
commanded by Prince Hohenlohe, a .cousin of Her
Majesty. • .

The Post says, the total number of Liberals at present is
319, tho Conservatives 261, giving a majority of 58 to
opposition.
The Star remarks that, on the whole, the Tories have
certainly gained by the general election, bnt this circum-
stance is likely to increase the zeal of the Liberal party for
a new Reform Bill.

The Bombay mails arrived at Dover at half-past five this

morning. .
The Post says it is almost certain M. De Persigny will
be appointed French Ambassador in London. .
The Herald says the question of war-risks at Lloyd's has
lost its attraction,
