"Messieurs—Before giving orders for continu-

order in so far as concerns you.—Ac(;ept, etc.

AUSTRIA.

The following is the order of the day published
by General Benedek on his arrival at Verona on
the 14th inst. :

" The confidence of the Emperor has intrusted
me with the chief command of the army in this
country. I am indebted to the zealous activity and
great professional knowledge _of my predecessor,
Count Degenfeld, at present Minister of War, for
the excellent instruction and military aptitude of
the troops, who are animated by the most excel-
lent spirit, and I place myself with the greatest
confidence at the head of this important por-
tion 'of the old Austrian army, so justly cele-
brated, and under whose flag I have been
brought up, having gained experience with the
glorious Radetzki. I have shared the good and
evil fortune of the army for 38 years, and I reckon
in its ranks thousands of comrades whom I know
personally and esteem greatly. I shall never
forget that several generals of the army I now
command were a year ago my senior comrades,
and I am justly proud to see my august fellow-
officer in the Italian campaign of 1849, H.I.H.
the brave Archduke Albert, place himself under
my command with noble self-denial. It is
for the army, as well as for myself, its chief,
to show ourselves worthy of this magnanimity,
which does us so much honour. I am fully
sensible of the great responsibility of the command
confided to me, but I have no hesitation in assum-
ing it, with the conscience of my moral power and
firm will, with devoted loyalty to our Emperor and
military chief, and the sacred sentiments of a sol-
dier's honour. I take the command, and will exercise
it severely, but with kindness, firmly, and with jus-
tice, without arrogance in prosperity, and with calm-
ness and without discouragement in misfortune. Let
each perform with joy and with love of the service
the duties of his office and of his position. I rely
on the most obliging participation, and when cir-
cumstances shall require it, on the free and respon-
sible co-operation of each in the accomplishment of
the great object. Let our efforts be constantly
directed to take care of the soldier, and have every
possible consideration for the citizen, but let the
honour of the army be with us sacred before every-
thing. As regards the serious aspect of the future,
I rely OR the discipline and unflinching bravery of
the troops, on my upright intentions, on my old
good-fortune as a soldier, and on the Divine bless-
ing. We desire, then, to live in this way as brave
and faithful soldiers of the Emperor, and if the day
of combat should come, to conquer, or to die with
honour. Long live the Emperor !

ITALY.

"BENEDEL'

The Semaphore of Marseilles says :—" General
Ulloa, Minister of War to Francis 11., the Duke de
Villanova, and a detachment of 50 Swiss for the
Pontifical army, has just left this port by the
steamer Vatican, for Civita Vecchia."
The Opinione of Turin, in what appears to be a
semi-official article, distinctly confirms the truth of
the statement that Garibaldi had demanded to be
appointed Lieutenant-General of the kingdom of
the Two Sicilies for one year, with unlimited
powers; and adds that, if his request has been re-
fused, it is only because it would have been uncon-
stitutional to grant it. On the same subject, the
Nationalites says: " Garibaldi's demand is easily
explained; he has but one object in view, and
he wanted to reserve to himself the means of
attaining it. But a constitutional ministry
could never consent to see a state formed within
the State, and one-half of the kingdom removed
from under their power. We are not flatterers,
but we sincerely believe that as regards Garibaldi,
the Ministry have dono what they could, and that
it was impossible for them to go any further.
The Nationalites of Turin, alluding to the story
of Garibaldi's having found great embellishments at
Caprera ; as also to another, to the effect that, in-
stead of such a compliment, the gallant general
had found a distress levied on his furnitaire by the
tax•gatherer, contradicts them both in the most
positive terms.
A letter from Turin of the 19th says :—" I have
thig day seen a person who has arrived from
Gaeta via Rome—a journey which for some time
past has been rarely taken. . This traveller is a
simple contractor, sent by the Government of
Francis 11. to different places to purchase for Gaeta
provisions of all kinds, and even wheat. He tells
me that it was impossible to buy anything at Civita
Vecchia, all articles having doubled in price in the
territory which still remains to the Pope. The
town of Gaeta, he says, is full of soldiers ; 2,000
men are lodged in barracks, and 3,000 with the
inhabitants. What has been said about the garri-
son having been doubled by the arrival of bodies
of troops, is quite inexact. The same person con-
firms the news brought by telegraph ; that is to
say, that great confusion prevails at Gaeta, and that
defections are numerous. Above all, discord pre-
vails among the chiefs, and insubordination among
the soldiers; the extra duty of removing stores,clean-
ing out barracks, &c., imposed on the latter, is very
generally refused; and, among other things, the
men would not carry a quantity of projectiles to the
batteries, and yet the latter have so little ammuni-
tion that they cannot fire long in case of an attack.
The King scarcely ever goes out, and it is only at
rare intervals that members of the Royal family,
who are clothed in black, were to be seen in the
garden of his residence."

Another from Turin of the same date, in the
Constitutionnel says :—" M. Matthieu and M.

Daziani, Governors, the former of Cagliari and the
latter of Sassari, in the island of Sardinia, have just

arrived in this capital, accompanied by a deputation
of the councillors-general of those two provinces,
who demand that they may have the same advan-

tages on the continent as regards railways and
other means of communication. It oannot be denied
that the island of Sardinia, notwithstanding its
riches, has been hitherto much overlooked. The
Minister of Public Works has already received
those deputations, and has promised soon to occupy
himself with satisfying their demands, but he at
the same time explained to them that they had
chosen a very bad time to ask for a railway. From
10,000 to 12,000 men have just been embarked for

Sicily in the different parts of the Italian penin•

sula. The King will proceed to Palermo when the
island shall have been occupied. When all the

Piedmontese troops have reached Sicily the garr

son of the citadel of Messina will be, for the lass
time, summoned to surrender, and in case of refusa.

hostilities will recommence. M. Mordini is to re•

tain the prodictatorship until the arrival of the
Kings which will not take place until the 25th

or 26th."

THE FRENCH MAILS.—Mr. Blake, M.P. for
Waterford, Dr. Gray, one of the directors of the Royal
Atlantic Steam-boat Company (Galway line), and Mr.
Leyster O'Beirne, secretary to the company, have been here
for some time negotiating for the conveyance of the French
mails by the above route, as well as for that of telegraphic
intelligence to and from America, vie St. John's. In the
event of Government granting a subsidy, it is intended
that a weekly service shall be substituted for the present
fortnightly one. Interviews have been had on the
subject with Prince Napoleon, who is favourable to the
project, and on Sunday last Dr. Gray and Mr. O'Beirne
had an audience of the Emperor at St. Cloud, for the
purpose of giving all necessary information, and his
Majesty is said to be also favourable. There are still
some difficulties with reference, I believe, to other
companies, but it is expected they will be removed.
As it was deemed desirable to have resolutions from the
Chambers of Commerce of the leading commercial cities of
France in favour of the Government countenancing the pro-
posal, applications were made to Paris,
Marseilles, Bor-
deaux, Havre, and Nantes. The last three have answered
favourably ; the Paris Chamber of Commerce meets to-day
to consider the subject; aad the resolution. from Marseilles
is expected in a fow days. I understand that the duty of
communicating with the mercantile bodies devolved on tho
member for Waterford, who, I hear, repoKts yory favour-
ably Qf the results 9f Ais cagtoq

Wolton, with dates from New York of the 10th

mediate secession.

vailed. The Cabinet meet in council to deliberate
