AUSTRIA.
wen:l"NA, Apail 30.—About 24 hours ago another
pt to mediate was made by the British govern-
,i,r_ent, but it was entirely fruitless. BefOre parliament
'or dissolved it was told by ministers that a final
t would be made to maintain peace, but,
20:rtlinatel for its own dignity, the British
na-
'mew, has not kept the promise given to the
Chl°l_!; " The English Cabinet," said a person
eraPt tO me this morning, "is unable to realise
war 'act that the war has begun, for if it
tie'e it would cease to bring forward proposi-
eitiela which neither France, Austria, nor Sardinia
fa„ e,r, Will or can accept." The excessive, the
catteal love of peace displayed by the Lords
toe-jeY and Malmesbury is one of the principal
Gems of conversation in diplomatic circles, and a
ka"an statesman yesterday observed that her
the'lestY's Ministers appeared to be labouring under
ferempression that the man who had completed the
Ifieations at Cherbourg had a legitimate right to
tYhtl'wn the law for the whole of Europe. " Let
ot have a fair trial of strength with our enemies,"
aoLae Austrians, " until the weather renders
eahe operations impossible, when the diplomatists
viii„agaul take the field." The Marquis de Ban-
ite,tlle French Chare.6 d'Affaires at this Court,
.11ued to have quitted Vienna this evening, but
to said to have received instructions by telegraph

eiithao, but as they advance the Sardinians fall back,
Ilt offering any opposition. It is by no means
kaPr°obable that the recent events in Tuscany,
eltas:a, and Carrara will induce the Austrians to
to .tbge their plan of operation, and to return
reior left bank of the Ticino. It is stated that
colu°reements have recently been sent to An-
-00; and Bologna, but it strikes me that this
froltellipleat would do well to recall its troops
loale,lneona without a moment's delay. Their
troo:sald of the sea enables the French to land
kthewherever they please on the west coast of the
trooat'e, and the line of retreat of' the Austrian
tut in Ancona is, therefore, in danger of being
at Aft; French troops are said to have disembarked
