Ssrd, 70 dsarrn. tie preparations here for trans
porting the French army into Piedmont, espec.Aliy

the Crimean war, and an eyewitness 70 al the
military movements, but must own that the scenes
which then beheld were not neariy az stirring and
exciting as those which have fallen under my notice
for the last fortnight There is more Of enthusiasm
DISPLAYED both on the part Of the troops well ss
O, that of the population. The French though or
dinsrily very lively and quick, full Of clan on the
field Of battle, are nevertheless devoid OF that
animation which chsracterizes the English N
cheering and shouting hurrah," on public occa-
sOns or in seasons of excitement. have observed,
however, on the present occasion, great differ
ence, az if a change had come over the minds
of the people. Great crowds are 70 be seen llnlng
both sides of the port, spectators Of the rapid en-
barkaton of the troops, and as the steamers-from
eight to ten daily y-ireighted with from 500 to- 600
soldiers. move out of the harb0r, the bands play
ing "P0riant pour Ia Syru," shouts and acclama- ;
tons are raised from the shore with waving OF
hats and handkerchiefs, and which are reechoed
from the military on board. In the crowd have
daily noticed groups Of Engshmen and citizens OF
the United States, of both sexes, who were the
oudest in their demonstrations.
I doubt however, very much whether all the
sympathy and enthusiasm which have been or are
being expressed in favor Of French interference in
the cause of Italy by English individuals will 60 to
alay the irritation which has been aroused and now
exists in this country against England and her Gov
ernment. The hostile spirit which sprang up
against England in connection with the affair OF
January IA, 1coS, and the acquitta OF Bernard, is
as nothing in comparison with that which has now
laid 60 deep a hold on the mind of the French peo-
pIe. and doubt not, also on that of their ruler,
owing TO the Austrian tendencies and sympathles OF
the British Government. The French will not be-
leye-it is not possible TO persuade them-that the
mass of the British public is heart and soul on the
side of France, and enlisted In the cause OF Italian
freedom, and against Austrian despotsm and OPP
preston; partly because Lord Derby and Mr.
Disraeli, acting probably, under the Court inspira
ton of Prince Albert the friend of Austria, enter
tain great admiration for the "dgnifed conciia-
ton" of that antiquated and perfdious Power.
What burning shame il is-enOugh to make any
EDelisbman blush and ashamed of his country and
linesge-to find an English statesman OF the Nine
teenth century, at this advanced stage of progress
and civilization, espousiDg the cause OF Power
like Austria in league with the powers OF dark
ness, tie Jesuts and the worst species OF Popery
of the darkest middle ages-tO crush and trampe
under foot the slightest germ of civil and religious
liberty, and throw mankind back upon the super
sttiOns and horrors of the InqulsitlOn. Would
Austria have dared to brave Europe as she has
done, if she had not been encouraged by the Gov
erument of England, Just as Russia was by Lord
Aberdeen, when she crossed the Pruth in 1913
What business has Austria in Central Italy and to
domineer in Naples Talk of the Treaty of 1cl1,
which gives Austria the mastery over Lombardy
and Venice-what power has broken that treaty
like Austria, in reference TO CracOw and to her
usurpation in the minor States of Italy 1t is sheer
driveiDg and imbecility to talk any more about the
sacredness of the above named treaty. Austria has
long since turned il into waste sheet OF paper; and
now il is for France-sbame that England has no
share 10 the bic cause to ayenge upon Austria
her treachery and hypocrisy, and to aid in the
work of liberating Italy from Austrian tyranny and
misrule. Gods retributive justice must fall heavi-
" upon atwretched and miserable Power. France
will, it cannot be doubted succeed in driving Aus
tria from Italy and b b,yond the Alps with the help
Of God and the people themselves. 1tdc fOt q
Diu t'aidera," the whole of Italy will follow the
example of Tuscany aud Parma; and we may hope
to see in few months a united Italian people
Austria, am confidently and from good authori-
ty informed has gone ON her knees-she is as cow
ardy in distress as she is arrogant in success-to
entrcat the help of Prussia but that Power is in
flexible in the determination t0 remain neutral and
TO await quietly the result Of the conflict.
Since writing the foregoing, i learn that some
days may still elapse before We may hear OF any en-
gagement between the beGgerents. The Austri.ns
have DESTROYED, as far as they have advanced into
Piedmont, all the means of telegraphc cOmmuni
cation, and the French will allow nothing to
transpire of their movements until some decided
success on their part can be made public.
