rHY POSITION - ENGLAND.

Thh fuslIlus ~ ESbLASD.
The London Times Of the 18th Of June
in an article welcoming Lord PALxxksroS
and the Liberals to the seats Of power, uses
the following language. elaboraae. certainly,
and hooeyed Of phrase, but not, therefore
the less explicit in meaning:
The failure Of Austrian arms has rem.
desed it impossible for EDglaDd or Europe
to consider the two anragoistic Powers as
being on that equality which was assumed
before the war. Then two powerful and
naughty Emperors, each with bis half nil
Ion Of men, we're engaged in q dispute
which they carried On with sullen dignity on
each side. The British government pre-
sumed thtm to be equally ssrOng and highly
placed and susceptible Of their homer, and
so was able TO ask each to make concessions
for the purpose Of prOpitiating the other. 1t
was incumbent on them to suppose that the
Austrian rule in Italy could be upheld
against foreign invader, and as tie Italian
Sovereigns were reignipg pescesbly In their
palaces, it Was impossible to treat them but
as the legitimate Sovereigns Of their States.
But it is evident that these presumptiops,
according to which Lord Derbys Ministry
shaped its demands and its recommendations
must now be abandoned We are not about
totore,ell the immediate expulsion OF Aus
trians from Italy q great power, put on its
mettle and with an immense army and strong
fortresses, may give many months trouble to
any adversary. But the Austrians have
shown themselves no match for their ad-
yersaries in fair 6ghlng. We cannot doubt,
then, that Lord Palmerston and Lord John
Russell will avow their sympathy with ltal.
ian freedom and a successful campaign.
The only means Of procuring co,ee in the
settlement of the Peninsula rs to haze been
previously an ally r'h those trhO hold the
country m their hands. Austria will per-
haps, in few months be no more an Italian
Power than Prussia, and our interests in
those regions will bring US in connection
with her more fortunate rivals. The same
instincts, too, which m lde US opposed TO
France when she appeared to be seeking
war may make US opposed to Austria when
she appears to be persistlng in 1t. IL is for
the advantage Of the world that the last
great trial 10 which nations resort, should,
like other trials, be as short as possible.
The British Government may think that the
retreat OF General Gyulai from the banks Of
the Sesia, the repulse at Montebello. and the
decided defeats Ut PslestrO and Magenta
are sufficient indications that the Austrisns
are inferior to their. antagonists, and that
they ought to acqu&sce in the decision of
fortune, and give the world peace by retiring
from Italy. II, indeed, it be made evident
that they must some day leave the country,
the sooner they can be made to leave it the
better"
The New York Times commenting 90 the
above, says that rendered into palmer En-
gllsb, these emphatic sentences may be re-
garded gracious advertisement to Austria,
and to the little German States which have
been so eager in her defence, that the time
has come for her 10 learn that the England
OF 1859 is no longer the England Of 1873;
that the policy OF Pitt and Castlereagh must
be understood to be forever buried in the
grave which has just closed over the re-
mains OF Metternich and that some CON-
mercial Britain which was ready to risk her
alliance with France in the hope Of keeping
the peace OF Europe unbroken, is doubly
ready now to join in trampling beaten Aus
tria under foot tor the sake OF restoring that
broken peace once more to the agltated
world
Address or NAPOLEON III TO THE ARMY.
SOLDIERS A month ago. confding in the
efforts OF diplomacy, l still hoped for the
maintenance Of peace, when saddenly the
invasion OF Piedmont BY the Austrian troops
called us to arms. We were not ready.
Men, horses, material and supplies were
wanting, and we had, in order to assist our
allies, to pass in small divisions beyond the
Alps before an enemy formidable and pre-
pared beforehand.
The danger was great the energy fthe
nation and your courage supplied all
France hps again found her old vireues, and
united in one feeling and for one object, she
has shown the power Of her resources and
the strength of her patriotism. Ii is now
only ten days since operations commenced.
and the Piedmontese territory has been a.
ready cleared Of its invaders. The allied
army has fought four combats and gained
decisive victory, which has opened to il the
gates OF the capital Of Lombardy. You
have put more than IS 900 Austrisns hors
du combat, taken /. cannon, two colors, and
5000 prisoners but all is not terminated ;
you will have more struggles to support and
obstacles TO overcome
rely on you. Courage, then, brave
soldiers Of the Army Of Italy Your lore
fathers from above contemplate you with
pride.
