The mail steam packet Acadia, Captain Stone,
arrived at Boston last evening at 6 O'Clock, and
her news was Immediately telegraphed to the
Ne,p York Herald
The Acadia sailed from Liverpool on the 9th
inst, and her advices are therefore FIVE days
later than those received by the Sarah Sands
| 1t should be borne in mind, while reading over
this news, that some of the events prior to the
departure of the Sarah Sands are mixed up in
the details received last night by the Acadia.
We give our telegraphic despatch In full
The general commotion on the continent of
Europe, has gone on increasing The intelli-
gence respecting the instruction 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 from the Peid-
montese territory into Lombardy, issuing as he
passed the frontiers, formal declaration of war
against Austria, and marched direct to Milan
The Hustrians, defeated at every point, fled as he
approached, and having been SUCCESSFULLY
driven from Parma and Porescia, and Dullenzsn,
endeavored to establish themselves on the
Mincio.
1t is said that disposable force will be shorty
at the command of Charles Albert, of not less
all Lombardy be liberated, but Austria may be
threatened, even at the gates of Vienna.
The Italian Duchies have burst out into open
instruction. Modena and Parma are revolu-
tionlzed, and Venice, which has been dying
daily since the fatal 18th of January, 1898, now
just half century, when the Austrians took
possession of that city in virtue of the treaty OF
Campo Formula, again shows signs of life.
The Lyons Gazette of the 4th gives the fol-
lowing, under date of Chambourg, 3lst:-"Savoy
will tomorrow constitute itself republic. A
provisional government will be constituted, and
the republic Of Savoy proclaimed. The country
will be imme diately convoked to decide on its
political condition. There is in this no hostility
to the King, who has given us very liberal insti-
tutions; nothing of disaff ection to the French
Republic, for which we preserve our sympathies
nothing, in short, which prejudges any course >
This intelligence is, however, doubtful, and II
not confirmed by letters from Lyons of the same
| date.
| The Milanese have sent an address to Plus
TX, in which they ascribe to the Pontif all the
honor of the emancipation Of Italy.
In Sicily, the Siciian parliament is constltu-
ted and the separation of the island from Naples
is complete. It is generally believed that the
king of Naples has altogether abdicated his
right over Sicily.
In Austria proper every thing seems disorgan
ized; and amidst the chaotic confusion which
prevailed, it is quite impossible to fix the hourly
changing scene. IT Is anticipated that the Aus
tran General, Radetsky, who is cfraid to entel
Mantua, tor want of prov isions, will be COMPEL
ed to capitulate upon the appearance of the Sar
dlnian troops.
The Viceroy of the Emperor of Austria, who
fed from Milan, was st Botzen, town of the
German Tyrol, on the 18th ult, waiting the is
sue of events.
In Prussia. after the bloody scenes which took
place in Berlin, the king has put himself at the
head Of the German confederation, and promises
extensive constitutional reforms. At the same
time, he has plunged headlong into a dispute
with the Danes, respecting the long contested
affair Of the Duchies of Holstein and Schleswig
which, by force, he seems resolved to detatch
from Denmark; on the other hand, he is exas-
perating the autocrat of Russia to the highes,
bounds Of passion, by encouraging the Poles &c
erect an independent government in the Duchy
of Posen
It 10 rumored that 1000 Cossacks have sud
denly appeared at Tilsii; and in the state of ex
element in which the Emperor is at the moment
should the King of Prussia wavef, the conse
quences may be serious. The Emperor himself
is vigorous and decided; he is said to have or
dered every man in Russian Poland, between the
ages of Is aud 35, to be removed into the interior
of Russia. Russia is concentrating vast army
in Southern Russia, which we should deem suf
ficient 70 crush any attempt to erect republic
in that division of the empire. The Emperor
has issued a manifesto.
tbs stated in the Breslau Gazette that 80, 900
Russians are already concentrated on the Pollsf
frontier, under the command Of Prince Paskie
witch. It is also reported that &c. 600 have sud
denly been called to she same frontier from III,
Caucasus.
