MARCH OF PRUSSIAN TROOPS TO TIIE

SECOND ED ITION.

NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE, FRIDAY, 9 ♦.x

THE WAR IN ITALY.

ATTITUDE OF PRUSSIA

After remarking that the part which Prussia has
to play just now is exceedingly complex, owing to
her European and Germanic interests crossing each
other at several points, the Daily News shows the
import of the advance of Prussian troops to the
Rhine. The Prussian Government has announced
its intention to interfere diplomatically for the
restoration of peace; but it has not yet thought it
time for proposing a basis of pacification to France.
The advance of a Prussian army to the Rhine, after
a grave disagreement with France, such as the
rejection of an offer of mediation, would have
a seriousness which would be incontestible ;
but that is not the present situation. Much remains
to be done before a case for the employment of
Prussian troops can arise. Prussia arms in order
that, when the time for mediation comes, she may
intervene with effect. The new English ministry
has lost no time in acquainting the Prussian Court
with its views of Italian affairs. It is not true that
a treaty had been concluded between Austria and
Prussia with reference to this war.

The Post says the mission of the Prussian Am-
bassador at Vienna to the Head-quarters of the
Emperor Francis Joseph, is formally contradicted.
The Times' letter from the Allied camp in Italy
describes some remarkable feats accomplished by
Garibaldi in suprising the Austrians, making forced
marches .of forty-five miles in twenty-fours, and
raising the country in favour of national inde-
pendence. ,
