The following is an abstract of the foreign
intelligence received by the steamship Aca-
dia
The general commotion on the continent Of
Europe has gone on increasing.
The intelligence respecting the insurrec-
tion in Lombardy has been confirmed, with
the further important feature that the King of
Sardinia, at the head of an army of 10000
troops, crossed the Piedmontese territory into
Lombardy, issuing declaration of war as
he passed the frontiers against Austria, and
marched to Milan. The Austrians defeated
at every point, fled as he approached, and ha-
wing successfully been driven from Palma,
Porescia, and Delensean, endeavored to es-
tablish themselves in the Nunces.
The Italian duchies have burst out into an
insurrection. Modena and Parreina are revo-
lutionized, and Venice, which has been dying
daily since the fatal 18th of January, 1898,
now just half century, when the Austrans
took possession of that city by virtue of the
treaty of Campo Formoso, again shows signs
of life.
In Austria proper every thing seems disor-
ganized, and amidst the chaotic confusion
which prevails, it is quite impossible TO fix
the hourly changing scene. 1t is anticipated
that the Austrian General, Radelsky, who is
afraid to enter Mantua for want of provisions,
will be compelled to capitulate upon the ap-
pearance Of the Sardinia troops. 1t is said
that the disposable force will shortly be at
the command of Charles Albert, of not less
than 250,000 men. With such an army not
only will all Lombardy be liberated, but Aus
tra may be threatened even at the gates of
Vienna.
Savoy has declared itself Republic.
Ia Switzerland strict neutrality seems to
be aimed at, and the evying of troops is dis
countenancad by the authorities.
All the countries on the right bank of the
Rhine have been violently convulsed.
AT Baden, Wurtemburg and Saxony liberal
governments have been conceded to the peo-
pie.
In Hanover the triumph of popular feel
ing has been complete.
In Prussia, after the bloody scenes which
took place in Berlin, the king has put him.

and promises extensive constitutional reforms
At the same time he has plunged headlong
into dispute with the Danes respecting the
long contested duchies of Holland and Schel.

highest bounds of passion by encouraging the
Poles to erect an independent government in
the Duchy Of Posen.
All Silesia, Breslau and Lithuani appear to
be in an alarming state of convulsion. Il is
rumored that $4,000 Cossacks suddenly ap-
peared at Telsit, and in the state of excite.

ment, should the king of Prussia waver, the
consequence may be serious. The Emperor
himself is vigorous and decided. He IS said
to have ordered every man in Russian po

moved into the interior of Russia
Russia is concentrating a vast army in
Southern Russia, which we should deem suffi
cient 10 crush any attempt to arrest repub-
lie in that division of the empire. The EN-
peror had issued manifesto.
In Portugal matters continue tranquil at
present.
In Sicily the Parliament is constituted, and
the separation of the Island from Naples is
complete.
1t is generally believed that the King of
Naples has altogether abdicated his rights o.
yer Sicily.
The advices from Athens state that the
Greek minister had resigned Conduriotti
had accepted the task of forming new cab-
net
In England and Ireland the greatest excite
ment exists. Lord John Russell repeated in
the House of Commons on Monday last his
