AUSTRIA.

Gallicia is in a state of indescribable ferment.
Serious disturbances, the Vienna journals inform us,
have broken out at Cracow, where the country people
make common cauae with the insurgent citizens, and
burn the barns in which the Imperial soldiers are
quartered. An engagement hetween the insurgents
and the soldiery took place at Chrzanow. The sol-
diers were routed.

The Allgemeine Zeitung has letters from Walla-
chia, of the 7th instant, which positively contradict
the late news of the entrance of another Russian
corps into Transylvania. Howevei this may be,
letters from Bucharest, of the 9th instant, state that
the Russian General Lilders had gone to the Transyl-
vanian frontier by way of Rimnik.
PESTU, APRIL 17.—Yesterday afternoon a brisk
cannonade was again heard, and the insurgents who
had appeared at Palota yesterday were now seen in
great numbers at Rakos, below Czinkcta. The Im•
penal troops were drawn up in a long line on the
north-west of the capital.
At half-past nine the insurgents commmenced a
brisk cannonade on the Rakos bridge, and made a
feint of attacking the Imperial right wing. The
Imperialists, however, returned the fire with great
energy, and compelled them to withdraw the
artillery end f-tll back upon Czinkota. The
Imperialists, seeing this advantage, advanced
their artillery, and opened a very destructive
fire. The insurgents again had to remove their field-
pieces, and withdrew the troops on the right wing,
where they met with a very obstinate resistance to
the mountain ridges lying to the left of Czinkota.
The c innonade continued without intermission
till half-past five, when it suddenly ceased, and at
this moment the Imperial troops are rallying to the
right wing of Baron Jellachich.—Pesth Gazette.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Kolner Zeitung has advices from Apenrade,
of the 21st, stating that a brigade of Schleswig-
Holstein troops entered Jutland on the morning of
the 20th instant. The brigade consists of the Ist Rifles
and two battalions of foot, with the usual comple-
ment of horse and artillery. The statements of the
Cologne Gazette are borne out by our Hamburgh
correspondence, which is of the 22d instant. Our
correspondent further informs us that the preparations
for storming the Island of Alsen are still going on.
Some heavy battery trains have been brought to
Duppeln, and among them some 84 pounders.
A postscript to our Hamburgh letter announces
the taking of Kolding by the Schleswig troop,
under General Bonin, on the 20th instant. Kolding
lies about one mile and a half from the frontier cf
Schleswig, and nearly five miles from the fortress of
Fredericia.

THE FRENCH NAVY.
(From the Journal des Debats.)
The budget of the Marine is about to be discussed two
or three days hence. In:the fever for savings, more or
less prudent, more or less reasonable, which seems to
govern the last anxieties of the Assembly, we may ask
whether the navy will find any mercy before this ardour
—too blind to allow of any mistake for an electoral
watchword. We do not hope as much, but we would at
least prevent the throwing overboard of the very thing
required to steady the ship during the storm, and to save
the most precious part of its freight—the crew.
The considerable reductions demanded by the com•
mission are of two kinds, like the two great divisions of
the departmeat, viz., personal and material.
Nobody in France can have yet forgotten the sponta-
neous acclamations of the country, the press, and, above
all, the Chamber, unanimously voting, after two eloquent
speeches from MM. de Lamartine and Thiers, the sub-
vention of 93,000,000 demanded in 1846 by P.I. de
Mackau, then Minister of Marine, for the increase of the
materiel of the fleet.

That credit, distributed over a period of seven years,
is not yet exhausted. We can understand its applica-
tion being postponed—we can understand the reduction
fur a time of every expense not indispensable to the
materiel, and the limitation of the expenditure for a
short time to the urgent necessities of reparatioa and
replacing, in order to prevent the decline or decay of the
immense property of our arsenals. We admit, in a
word, that the navy, like all other branches of the public
::,ervice, ought to bear its share of the sacrifices which
the country is obliged to impose on itself, even in op
po,iti,:n to its mo,t legitimate and most manifest sym-
pathies.
But if, although with regret, we suffer judgment to
pass on this he ad, we do not think that the personnel
can be subjected to the same sacrifice, because we are
convinced that it would be striking our navy—one of the
glories and one of the essential forces of the country—
to the very heart. We will only here allude to the mi-
litary and navigating personnel—the vital and real force
of the fleet; and a simple comparison will suffice to show
that the actual staff of our naval officers cannot be re-
duced without rendering the ordinary service of the state
of peace perfectly crushing and overpowering, if not
immediately impossible.
The English navy includes 4,700 officers, and the
French 1,600. In the English navy the proportion of
the officers to the total number of ships is in the ratio of
7 to 1; in France it is only 4 to 1; that is to say, that
if for any contingency whatsoever you were required to
arm your fleet, however reduced at this present moment,
you would not have—far from it—the necessary per-
sonnel in officers. You would not have one left fur the
harbour service; not one would have time to be ill or to
take a day's rest!
Can it then be necessary to repeat, in order to prove
how tenderly this state of the naval staff requires to be
treated, the lessons which our history has only taught
us too dearly? The spontaneous creation of naval offi-
cers cannot be decreed like their instantaneous suppres-
sion, by abruptly terminating their career berme the
regular time for the sake of an insignificant saving—
less than 300,0001., if the retiring pensions that must be
allowed them be taken into thelaccount.
Would the Republic, for the second time, attach its
name to the most afflicting reminiscences of our naval
annals? It ono day believed that men—brave, no
doubt, but who had not gained their epaulettes by the
hierarchial instruction indispensable to special corps,
might replace the officers formed and grown gray on
board our squadron; it intrusted its ships to them—
and the navy of France has not yet repaired its
disasters; and she has required more than thirty years
of peace, military or scientific expeditions, active naviga-
tion and serious studies, more and more exacting, to
re-construct a navy worthy of her, not by the number,
but by the acknowledged merit of its
.officers. Need we
insist further.? Will a beggarly
rstaaviiangfubteuraell,owofedthteo
destroy the laborious past, the certain
French navy ?We cannot believe it.. .
M. Charles Dupin has shown. with his ussnudalthtaelent
in figures rigorously exact, the little reason
in the
im-
mense danger of the radical reforms demanded.
naval personnel. The support of M. Dupin has never
been wanting to the navy. It is to be regretted that
representative admirals, removed from Paris for the ser-
vice of the Republic, have not been able to quit their
posts for a day to come and defend, with their authority
and experience, their arm thus attacked, perhaps with
more passion than justice, and more levity than con-
viction.

We hope, however, that the naval officers, in de-
fault of their natural defenders in an assembly too
few in number or too timid, will meet with men
who most know and appreciate them, for they know
their lives and their devotion, and if the school
to which they belong is an easy and speedy affair; we
allude to the generals of the African army, of which our
navy has, so to speak, formed part for the last 19 years,
and whose testimony it ought not to fear invoking. We
still hope that the navy will be defended with
energy on this same question, by the represen-
tatives of the seaports in what concerns the effective
of the seamen and the masters, any reduction of
whom, at the ~moment when our maritime com-
merce is far from huipg ramrod its activity, Quid ho

a saving at once disastrous and cruel. We even venture
to rely on the support of all men of any prudence, with-
out any re;arence to opinion. - The I.`;ational AssinLly
will not destroy in a few seconds, by an ill-considered
vote, the irreparable work of ages—the fruit of the trea-
sures and the blood of France.

Mr. French, M.P., had an interview with Lord John
Russell yesterday, at his official residence in Downing.
street.

Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Board of Inland
Revenue, and Sir Robert Ferguson, had interviews yes-
terday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the
Colonial-office, for the Governors of Malta and Ceylon,
and for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian
Islands.
