THE COLONIAL ALLOWANCE TO HER MAJESTY'S
FORCES.—We understand that a question of considerable
difficulty has arisen which threatens to render somewhat
embarrassing the relations between the colonial Govern-
ment and the officer commanding the imperial forces in this
• colony. For several years past a rather liberal colonial
allowance has been granted by the Parliament to supple-
ment the Imperial pay of the military stationed here. A
' despatch has, however, been lately received by his Excel-
lency the Governor, from the Duke of Newcastle,
informing him that, in the opinion of Her Majesty's
Government, the rate of colonial allowance granted to the
troops is an excessive one, and directing that it is to be re-
duced to that paid in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope.
The reason given for this redaction is that the excessive
allowance to the troops in these colonies operates unjustly
towards those serving on other stations. We believe that
Colonel Kempt has been informed of the arrival of this de-
spatch; but that pending the receipt of an official intima-
tion from the Horse Guards it will not be acted upon. It
will be remembered that the voting of the allowance in
• questionquestionhas frequently met with opposition in our
Legislative Assembly, and after this direction from the
Home government the desired reduction will probably be
readily fr
e-ected by the local Government. It does not ap-
- pear that the rate to which the colonial allowance is to be
conformed bears any fair proportion to the expenses of liv-
ing in New South
'Wales, and it is apprehended that the
enforcement of the order would excite much dissatisfaction
among the soldiers, and
would interfere with the mainten-
ance of military duic!plite.
It is stated that a military
Board has been appointed to inquire into and report upon

THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1862.

Our readers must not be surprised, now, if we
sometimes give them an erroneous interpretation of
the intelligence we get from America. Respecting,
for instance, the great battle of Pittsburg Landing
we have the most defective or contradictory accounts;
from General GRANT, on the Federal side, from
General BEAUREGARD for the Confederates, from
the Federal Government itself ; and we have, too,
the complaints of the papers that they can get no
definite information from their own side. We can-
not feel quite sure that BEATJREGARD'S account is
not greatly exaggerated ; but until the Washington
War-office can contradict it in terms more explicit
than they do we shall assume that BEAUREGARD
is nearest the truth. These are the vague terms in
which Mr. STANTON'S agent writes :

In reference to BEAUREGARD'S despatch, inquiries
have been made at the War Department, and we are
authorised to say that the report from Pittsburg Land-
ing, already given to the public, contradicts the report in
the Norfolk papers. All reports received at the War De-
partment confirm the statements that tho enemy were
routed and pursued as far as the previous orders of Gene-
ral GRANT 'would permit, and the enemy are now shut up
in Corinth.

Now, till Mr. STANTON can tell us something
more explicit about BEAURE6ARD•s 10,000 pi isoners
and 36 pieces of cannon, we shall believe that he

has got. them.
On the other hand, the intelligence—so import-
ant that we waited for confirmation of it--that the
Federals had seized on a hundred miles of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, on each side of
Huntsville, in North Alabama, and thereby cut off
their enemies' communications, we now know to
be correct. Federal intelligence is detailed and
exact when it is to the advantage of Federals.
The reader can compare this despatch from the
General who accomplished this important success,
with the above statement of Mr. STANTON from
General GRANT'S despatches. It runs thus :

Head-quarters, Third Division,
Huntsville, April 11.

After a forced march of incredible difficulty, leaving
Fayetville yesterday at twelve noon, my advance guard
entered Huntsmille this morning at six o'clock. The city
was completely taken by surprise, no one having considered
the march practicable in the time. We have captured
about 200 prisoners, 15 locomotives, and a large amount of
passenger and box platform cars, the telegraph apparatus
and office, and two Southern mails.

We have at last succeeded in cutting the great artery of
railway communication between the Southern States.
(Signed) 0. M. MITCHELL,
Brigadier-General Commanding,
Probably most readers will think it would be
credulity to rely on the former statement ; and in-
credulity not to believe this. Such is the conse-
quence of tampering with the Press and its corre-
spondents. It throws the public not on the good
faith of the journal, but on his own judgment as to
probabilities.
The little battle with the Merrimac, if battle it
can be called, left, at all events, the prizes of vic-
tory with her. She returned with three captured
ships, trophies of her prowess, white no defender of
the Federal property ventured to do anything but
fire long shots at her, none of which appear to have
struck her. When she did retire, it appeared
to be in consequence of a shell, from a very
large gun of her own, having exploded
in the gun's mouth, and having, therefore, it
was supposed, done some injury within the vessel.
The three captured ships were loaded, one with sut-
lers' goods, another with hay, and a third with beef.
The Naugatuck, iron-plated gunboat, got aground,
it is said. She professes that otherwise she would
have prevented the capture; which, indeed,
was actually made by the smaller gunboats
convoyed by the Merrimac. The French and Eng
lish vessels lie near watching for a sight of the
second conflict between the Monitor and Merrimac,
but as yet in vain. One thing is certain, that the
Federals are byno means free from the fear that their
enemy may give them the slip, and take part in the
contest at Yorktown.

Just now, when foreigners are about to visit us
from every part, it is gratifying if, turning to
the Continent for a moment, we can observe any
hopeful indications in regard to civil and religious
liberty. We invite the Continentals to come and

,00k at our productions, and we ask them to place

theirs side by side with ours ; and, under the libe-
ralising rule of free trade, we look with no envy on

their superiority in many productions of art and
skill; we regard them rather as articles of impor-
tation—sure to be paid for, ultimately, by corre-
sponding exportations. But in one thing which
all Continentals will see here, we fear no eompet:-

tion—we know that we shall be their envy. Our
perfect personal freedom, and the freedom of our
political institutions, we know must excite the
admiration of all our guests. Timidly will many
of them shrug their shoulders, and wish that
they, too, were St to be trusted to do what they
pleased, and go where they pleased ; while nobler
spirits among them will protest that they are fit
—that if their rulers gave them fair play they
too could solve the problem of perfect lib.e,rty and
perfect order.

Now, though there are dark spots enough in
almost every European State, it is yet true that in
most there are some bright ones. To begin in the
South—there are no dark spots there except what
are created by the direct oppression of Austria, and
the indirect cruelty of France—the atrocities she
perpetrates by the bands of the POPE and the ex-
King. The Italian kingdom itself is free; Eng-
land herself is hardly freer. And, the telegrams of
this morning tell us of a bright burst of sunshine

on the very spot where the Franco-Papal alliance
has shed such a gloom over the land. At Gaeta
yesterday morning, the King of ITALY was re-
ceived with the enthusiastic cheers of the people.
At Naples a universal illumination, and a serenade,
on the largest scale, welcomed him the same even-
ing. French and English frigates paid him honour
on behalf of their respective Governments; and the
short announcement is " the enthusiasm is inde-
scribable." Let us hope that the report of his offi-
cers may touch the heart of the Emperor of the
FRENCH, and induce him to remove from Rome that
dark curse of Southern Italy—the French army.
Let him do this, and we will welcome him to our
Exhibition. Meantime, however, the hearts of
Lord NORMANBY and the Tories may sink at read-
ing this morning's telegrams, all Englishmen,
worthy of their country, will rejoice at this spon-
taneous manifestation of Italian unity, in the person
of a Liberal and beloved Sovereign.

Even Austria herself is not without her brighter
spots. We adverted the other day to the extreme
liberality of her proposals in regard to religious
liberty—they are such that not only the honour-
able member for Bucks and his Wednesday subor-
dinates might take a lesson from, but they aim so
distinctly, not merely at religions liberty, but
at religious equality for all confessions, that our
Whigs themselves might study them with advan-
tage. As we have already observed, even should
the intolerance of the dominant sect hinder their
being adopted by the Reichsratli, it is bat fair to
give this despotic Government the credit of offering
an admirable model to all Europe. But there is
yet another bright spot in Austria—only it is not
in this case to the credit of the Government. We
refer to the firmness of Hungary. Nothing, it seems,
can move her. Harrassed and wearied by the Pro-
visional Government—desirous, consequently, and
strongly so, of coming to some arrangement, when
questioned what she would concede, a trustworthy
correspondent tells us that his Magyar friends met
every proposal to surrender any of their main points
with an unhesitating denial. They would never
surrender their right to vote supplies—would never
send deputies to the Austrian Reichsrath—would
never receive a constitution from Austria as a grant,
they would have their ancient constitution of 1848.
This looks hopeful. If Hungary be both patient
and firm, a few years are little in the life of a na-
tion, and the Hapsburg will be obliged to bow dur-
ing the next European storm, if not before.
Again from Austria's rival proper—from Prussia,
the intelligence is also hopeful. The Liberals still
have the ascendancy in the elections. They have
not been caught with the chaff of reductions of
expenditure proffered, with the avowed purpose of
purchasing votes for the Government candidates.
The Government circulars to officials seem to have
been resented, not only by the distinguished heads of
the universities—men of European fame as scholars
—but by magistrates themselves, in such modes as
they dare adopt. The news, therefore, this morn-
ing is, that both in Berlin and in the country,
so far as the telegrams had arrived, the elections
had been most favourable to the Liberal party. It
is to be remembered that double elections is the
practice in Prussia. The wider constituency, and
it is pretty extensive, chooses the actual electors,
who again choose the representatives. It is the primi-
tiv, elections which are now proceeding so favourably
for the Liberals. The prospect therefore is hopeful,
that his Majesty "by the grace of God," will find
that his people have also rights by the same grace,
which they too are determined to assert.

Even Russia with her black spot of Poland is not
disposed to be left quite behind. Besides her
emancipation of her serfs now in progress, the CZAR
has actually determined to create a substantially
representative assembly. The really higher ranks
in Russia, are by no means unqualified for such
work, a middle class has been slowly forming, and
there seems every reason to believe, that sick of
a bureaucracy incurably corrupt, the EMPEROR
may be disposed to interest substantial power to
the hands of the higher classes of landowners.

We have given the brighter side of things, in
regard to some facts of the hour; but, we incline
to hope there is more than this behind. Public
opinion in Europe now is a different thing from
what it was fifty years ago. The mechanical means
of making known all that passes in one nation in
the course of a few days or hours, by telegrams,
letters, and newspapers, among all other nations, has
produced a very different sensitiveness among the
rulers to what the people think. All nations know
that England sympathises with free institutions,
but how much more influential is the fact
when every important illustration of it reaches
them almost as soon as it occurs. Libe-
rals in Italy and Liberals in Prussia are
fighting, cubstantially, the same battle but
with how much more encouragement, when they
quickly learn each others successes. Even the Poles,
in their passive heroism, felt the effect of all
Europe's eye upon them, and it is obvious that their
oppressors are at least sensible to shame, however
reluctant they may be to forego power. LOU7S
NAPOLEON is not wide of the mark in declaring that
public opinion in Europe is now a power which no
one can defy. We only wish that he could see it
bidding him to cease the occupation of Rome. He
stays, however, because he says that public, Roman
Catholic, opinioti demands it of him.

Little by little good is coming in the way o:
army reductions. It was but very recently that
the imperial ruler of France resolved upon dimi•
nishing by 30,000 men the vast aggregate of that
Standing Army of his, which is necessarily, of
course, a perpetual Standing Menace to the rest of
Europe. And now we have tidings of the reduction
of the gigantic army of Austria by very nearly a
quarter of a million, i.e. by 2,000 cavalry, and 20,000
infantry. At the very least it is a good beginning.
In this way, if in no other, every one almost will
look back with complacency, for once, upon the
gradual, and certainly the beneficial, working of the
system of bit by bit reform. Why, in point
of fact, although as compared with a grand
army of some 600,000 soldiers of all ranks,
infantry, cavalry, and artillery-30,000 men, more
or less, may appear to be a difference of compara-
tively small consideration—thirty thousand men,
after all, would make up a formidable army enough
in any pitched battle. Again, the same propor-
tionally might be said of the Austrian diminu-
tion by 22,000, as we have just remarked in regard
to the French diminution by 30,000. Viewing
either of those bodies apart—here 30,000 of the
disciplined soldiers of France, here 22,000 of the
white-coated veterans of the Kaiser—it would
be the merest affectation to grumble over
the insufficiency of either diminution. In each case
it is, beyond a doubt of it, a visible and appreciable
step in the right direction. More, considerably
more, remains to be done before the wished-for goal
can be reached ; but already it would be idle to
deny that much has been done, even now, towards
bringing us all onward in the general yearning
after economy and comparative confidence in the
non-disturbance of European tranquillity. It is as
well, moreover, that both France and Austria have
alike internally the strongest incentive to a steady
persistence in this now inaugurated march towards
economy and general tranquillisation. The respon-
sible financier of each empire has cognisance of the
