THE SUN.
MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1859.

The news from the seat of war is still in favour
of the Allies, and promises to be still more so in a
very few days. The Austrians, who boasted that
they would accomplish everything, have actually
performed nothing save falsifying their own pro-
phecies. They are also on the move in the wrong
direction. They have evacuated Piacenza, and blown
up the citadel. They have now bolted from Bologna,
in deference to the approach of Prince NAPOLEON
from Florence, just as we said would be the case.
The Austrians have now taken refuge behind the
Adda, but they will find its waters too hot to stay
there long. If they do—GARIBALDI will be down
upon them from Bergamo, and, in fact, the French
too have crossed the Adda, and there will soon be a
very good excuse for the brave Austrians to make
discretion the better part of valour.
The proclamations of the Emperor of the FRENCH
to his army and to the people of Lombardy are
admirably timed, and the tone reminds us of the
terse but laconic bulletins of the immortal First
Consul and Emperor. If NAPOLEON the Third
but keep up to his sayings in the proclamation to
the Italians, it will add a lustre to his doings in
this war which will go far to make amends
for former shortcomings, and give a complete
answer to the interested falsehoods of his enemies.
In fact, if be will be but content to set Italy free
and then retire within the boundaries of his own
dominions he will do more to strike terror into the
German Confederation than if he marched right
on to Vienna. There will be plenty of
opportunities for paying off the Germans
hereafter if they give themselves any more
airs about their "Fatherland," as if no
other people had any fatherland or na-
tionalities but themselves. The conduct of
both Austria and Prussia during the late war
was so utterly selfish, hypocritical, and dis-
honourable, that we hope a heavy day of
reckoning is in store for them. Indeed, while we
now write the E3IPEROR of Russia has issued a
manifesto to the effect that if the EMPEROR of
the French localises the war to Italy he will
not interfere ; but if the German Confederation
interfere he will help to teach them a lesson
they will not readily forget. The doom of Austrian
misrule and savage constraint is all but sealed,
and the sooner she gives up quietly what she
must yield to necessity, the better will it be for
the remaining portions of her discordant empire.

The recognition by her most gracious MAJESTY
of the eminent services rendered to the country by
the leading members of the late Administration,
ought at length, surely, to silence those factious
scurrilities Which have been indulged in for a long
time past by the more spiteful and splenetic section
of the Opposition now mero.bin, into a Government.
The SOVEREIGN could hardly mark her approval
more signally than by according, as her MAJESTY
is now doing, the insignia of the most glorious
order of knighthood in the gift of n'Alonarch to the
noble Earl the late First Lord of the Treasury.
Lord DERBY, it will be remembered, fifteen months
ago, accepted the responsibilities of the Premiership
with reluctance ! He consented only to resume the
supreme past he had formerly occupied for ten
months in 1852, because it was rer idered obvious,
oven to himself, that his so doing, if not absolutely
