liament, and relics with confidence on thc 99111MITCnce

of both Houses in the precautionary measures of
defensive policy. Diplomatic relations have been
resumed with Naples. With respect to the Reform
movement there is not much in the speech very
reassuring. Her Majesty says she would
" with pleasure" give her sanction to any
well concerted measure, but she hints that,
just at the present time, it would hardly
be prudent to enter into any lengthened debate on
the subject, trusting that, at the commencement of
the next session, " earnest attention will be given to
-a question of which an early and satisfactory settle-
ment would be greatly to the public advantage."
Such is the sum and substance of the Queen's Speech,
delivered at the opening of Parliament, yesterday
afternoon. 'On the House of Commons assembling
at four o'clock, and after some notices of motion had
been given, Mr. A. Egerton moved the address in
reply to the speech. He defended the general policy
of the Government, who, he said, had done all in
their power to preserve the peace of Europe. As to
the subject of Reform, he thought that the present
administration were quite right in postponing it for
the present. We would have some mightier affairs
in hand, and that question could remain in abeyance.
He had heard that there would be an amendment
to the address. /If this amendment was on foreign
grounds, it must increase the chances of a general
Europesn war. He concluded by reading the
,ss, which was seconded by Sir J. Elphinstone,
mid that all had been done to keep England
out of the war, and that the strictest neutrality
would be maintained. The Marquis of Hartington
then moved an amendment to the address. In the
course of his remarks, he severely blamed the pre-
sent administration for the late dissolution,
characterising it as an act of " rashness and reck-
lessness." Their policy in respect to foreign relations
he condemned, and he went on to say that a strong
and safe government could be formed by the Liberal
party, concluding by moving, as an amendment,
an addition to the address, to the effect that the
present ministry did not possess the confidence of
the House. Mr. Hanbury seconded the amendment.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer next addressed the
House, saying that he did not object to the motion
now moved, as it would be an advantage to the
country to know whether the government possessed
the confidence of the House or not. He then entered
into a lengthened defence of the policy pursued by
the present ministry in all its bearings, both with
regard to foreign and domestic affairs. Several
speakers having addressed the House, to which the
Government did not deign a reply, ultimately, upon
the motion of Mr. Deasy, the debate was adjourned
to Thursday.

The War news to-day contains the intelligence of
continued successes on the part of the French and
Sardinians. The Allies have poured their columns,
with unbounded and exulting valour, upon the Lom-
bard plains. Austria must fall back upon the
Mincian line, and make her last stand under the
ramparts of Verona. The bloody deluge will roll
upon her until her great. front of defence has been
reached, and there she may hope to avert the flying
fortunes of the war. We shall receve modifications
—nay, we have already received them—of the tri-
umphant reports telegraphed to Paris by the French
Emperor. We shall hear of French losses far ex-
ceeding the statements of the conquering army; it is
possible that important information from head-
quarters may put another colour on the Battle of
Magenta ; but that splendid trophies have been won
by the French and Italian legions, it would be the
meerest affectation to doubt. It is said positively
that the French have taken 36 guns, and that they
are conpletely encumbered with Austrian prisoners.
The Paris Patrie says it is reported that Generals
Neil, M'Mahon, and Canrobert, were wounded at
Magenta, and states that the French loss is now
estimated at 6,000 to 7,000 hors de combat. The
Imperial Guard alone supported the shock of the
enemy for two hours. The Patrie states that the
Austrian force amounted to 130,000 men, and
that of the French about 100,000. The Pays
says there were about 180,000 Austrians, and
120,000 French and Piedmontese, engaged.
The Herald's Paris correspondent says, it was
reported that the Emperor had led the Imperial
Guard in person, and was at one time under fire and
in considerable danger. At Paris, on Monday, there
were rumours that the French loss was from 9,000
to 12,000 men hors de combat. The operations of
the Austrian army are believed to have been
directed in person by Marshal Hess, the ablest of the
Austrian generals. The Paris correspondent of the
Herald observes, that any doubts of the military
capacity of the Emperor are now triumphantly
answered. The correspondent of the Advertiser
says that he has shown himself to be a consummate
tactician. There is no further news from Milan.
The Marseilles correspondent of 'the Times says
that, in less than two months, 120 flat-bottomed
gun-boats will have been completed in the French
navy yards, each armed with a rifled cannon. They
are intended to act on the Po. By the same period
40-steam transports will be finished, each capable
of conveying 1,000 troops and baggage. Should
the victory of Magenti be confirmed in all its san-

gumary and triumphant details, the event must be
regarded as of the highest importance. It may tend
to settle the mighty question at issue without the
•,

aty ofa secondcaMpaign. Or, it may flush the
French.nation with military arrogance and an inap-
peasable thirst for glory, which would render them
dangerous, not to Italian liberty alone, ,but to the
the Continent. Again, the Austrians in their
extremity may yet prevail on Germany to arm in
their behalf, so that the battle of Magenta would
thus be the prelude to a general war. Indeed this
may be said to have already taken place.. In our
second, edition yesterday we published a despatch
from Darmstadt, dated the sth inst., to the effect
that, at the opening of the Chambers, the Presidents
of both branches of the Legislature declared in
favour of war against Louis Napoleon. As yet we
have no intelligence respecting the route taken by
the Austrians in their retreat. The allies, however,
have pushed forward from the Ticino to Milan, and
seem to have given battle from two detached points ;
whence their attaekconverged upon an army already
retiring, badly disposed, and eager only to reach the
permanent trenches, within whic-

ihey have determined to rally fin

from the beginning;
r upon the defensive.

The Paris correspondent of the -.Express report
that Marshal Canrobert is mortally wounded. Ow
Marshals or Generals were wounded at Magenta.
The Austrian garrison in.. Milan, at the time of the
iesurreetion, was reduced to three thousand man.

News has been received 'that Prince Napoleon's
corps ,d'aratee has taken ,vp a position on the
Appenines. Modena is occupied by a large Austrian
force.
