While the Austrians act strictly on the defensive
Louis NAPOLEON will find if a task of no ordinary
difficulty to dislodge them from the strong positions
which they have occupied, and on which they may
speedily fall back.' GARIBALDI, who appears to
have obtained some success over the Austrians, and
to have taken two pieces of cannon, is a hard man
to deal with. He seems thoroughly to understand
the art of war, and the no less important
one of exciting the discontented populations
in any locality where he may for the time being
be situated. In the vicinity of Varese he has
peculiar advantages. The people are ready to wear
the tricolour at any moment. They only desire to
have sufficient support to warrant them in shaking
off the Austrian yoke, and the victory that has been
obtained, or has been said to have been obtained
by the leader of the volunteers, may supply the
requisite stimulant to produce the necessary excite-
ment and create the intended insurrection.

The movement was decidedly a bold one. It was
carrying the war into the enemy's country, and that
without either cavalry or artillery. GARIBALDI
was obliged to trust entirely to the musket and
bayonet, and although he had a majority of troops,
the other advantages on the part of the Austrians
were quite sufficient to counterbalance the nume-
rical odds against them. lie probably expected to
have received additional volunteers from Switzer-
land, but the course adopted to ensure the perfect
neutrality of the Cantons has prevented the rea-
lisation of his wishes. There would probably
be several thousands willing to take up arms,
if
only enabled to do so by the permission of
the authorities where they aro located. This per-
mission has, however, been withheld, and the stronn.
forces posted on
the frontiers will effectually
prevent the participation of the anticipated auxi-
liaries at the seat of war.

It is true that the allies have
rn pa
are ion of
Tuscany ; that Florence and Legh ar in their
hands, and that the Grand Duke and his family
have taken refuge in flight. Rut the operations of
the war can scarcely be carried on ' h
eit er from Tus-
cany or Naples, supposing even that the latter fall
into their hands. It is Parma and Modena that
they require. With these Duchies in their posses-
sion they could greatly annoy the Austrians, and
would unquestionably do so. It would, as we have
already stated, enable them to turn the flank of
the Germans, and to conduct their strategetical
affairs with the greatest possible efficiency. 'Whether
they will violate the neutrality of the coveted
duchies, or produce a similar result by exciting
insurrection, remains to be seen. That they will
take the course most to their advantage seems
certain. LOUIS NAPOLEON will not allow minor
difficulties to stand in his way in enabling him to
carry out the line of policy which he has
willfully and deliberately resolved on pursuing.
If he desires to emulate his uncle
.he
will not stick at trifles or let any trifling impedi-
ment remain. Rut by so doing he may bring
dawn the whole force of the German Confederation
in opposition to his designs; and although in such
case itus.sia may interfere on his behalf, it is not
certain that x}
1e would do so, and the war would
be prolonged for
anindefinite period, which would
exhaust the cu •
mary resources of France as well
.as of Austria. The latter Power has, indeed,
already adopted the r g eat panacea—the issue of an
inconvertible paper currency ; but she Has also
committed the grave m •
istake of disregard- I
ing the important •
Points which would ren-
der it unii.ersall • y acceptable throughout
the whole of the domi • nions subject to Aut.-
trian taxes arid duties. It cannot be received
in payment or either, and must
therefore go to a
heavy discount, in order that the taxpayers may
provide for thei3• responsibilities.
Should there not be the hoped-for revolutions,
NAPOLEON rd. will find it difficult to proceed
in the face f the powerful entrenchments and for.
tifications a nder the Austrian control. It must be
remember, that they have troops nearly equal in
Point of r Ambers to the combined forces of the
