last three mon hs at least armameDts have been
going on IN F'aDce on a colossal scale. After dis
missing IN fnl ugh a considerable number OF
I'D ,oIGi,rs. the whole of the recruits OF looc,
10000 in number, hase been called out, In
stead of 'he 90, 0O0 of other years Of peace.
TIE .:,ivity Developed in all tue ar,enals aud mill
iayy workshops has been such as 10 persuade all
gel ersl ,ffcers as much az three months ago. that
q serious campaign was IN preparation. We no"
learn that 10 oatterie. or $50 guns of Louis N1po-
Icons new construction thght l2-polnders), have
been ORDERED in the pubic feubderies; that new I'M

Nessler, the official successor Of Mne), have been
introduced; that the bnttalions of chasseurs are
Increased from 400 20 200, and the regiments Of
The line from 900 or 900 To 300 men, by draft
on the depOts (ubere the recruits have been form
ing of ZONE 60, 600 men; that the materials OF
a campaign are being heaped up az Ioaor, and
that two camps, the sites OF which are not yet
known, have been fixed upon. The sites o. these
two csmps may easily BE- guessed; the one will be
about L) oDs in the south, near rollon, and the
other a. Metz. a. an army Of observation against
Prussia ard the German Confederation. All this
has of necessity excited the wsrlke spirit of the
army to the highest pitch, and war is so certainly
reckoned upon that the off ,ers Will not order any
more civilians clothes, convinced as they are that
they will have 10 wear the uniform alone for iome
time to come.
While thu. is going on in France in Piedmont
We have q King who, before Christmas, announced
20 hi. generals the in.ima.on to keep themselves
ready, for they might be called upon to smell pow
der before Spring, aud who now opens bis Cham
beers III speech SO full Of general run OF Italian
patriotic bOmbast aud of illusions to Austrts
misrule, that he must be either determined upon
war or be content to be declared by all tue world
perfect fool. In Lombsrdy, in Rome, in the
Duchies, we have an excitement equsled only by
that preceding the outbreak of lS4S; the pOpula-
ton seem to put the foreign troops at defiance, to
be- intent upon nothing but to show their utter
contempt of established authority aud their certain
conviction that the Austrians will in few months
hive to leave Italy. To all this Austria answers
BY very quietly strepg theDng her army in Lombar-
dy. Ii has consisted of three army corps-the 9th,
Tn ard 9Th, together about 100, 900 men, Now, as
stated in my last the Sd is the march 10 join 1t.
Six infantry regiments (c5 battalions), four bat
talons Of TyrOlesn chasseurs, two cavalry regl
ments, six batteries and the whole staff and ell
tineeripp train Of the Third Army corps are re-
ported to be on the road or to have already arrived
in Lombardy. This raises the force 70 100 600
or I4O, 600 men, who, in the position between the
AdIse and Nincio. will be able to resist at least,
double their number
Thus, on every hand, the elements Of strife are
accommodating Is Louis Napoleon the msn to con-
tr,l them al1 Not he; most OF them are per.
fectly out of bis reach. Let there be az outbreak
