War in Europe.

War in Europe.
The steamer Niagara arrived at Halifax
May 9th, bringing the most alarming Eu-
ropean news. Austria has sent her ultima
tum to Sardinia, demanding disarmament
and the dispersal of the Sandman yolun-
teers. Three days are given for reply to
this demand, and in case of refusal, war
will be declared Immediately. Eighty
thousand more Austrian troops have been
ordered to Ticino. Austria has rejected
Englaud's final proposition. The French
troops are moving towards Piedmont The
three days given by the ultiuaatum of Aus
tria to Sardinia, would expire on Saturday
evening, the 24th The English Govern
ment had telegraphed to Vienna strong
protest against the menace of Austria, and
it is reported that Austria has replied, refu-
sing to reconsider her action and has already
prepared manifesto to accompany her dec
Iarations of war against Piedmont. There
was an active movement of French troops
for concentration OF the troops on the
| frontiers of Piedmont and about Toulon.-
The inal proposition submitted to Austria
by England was for general disarmament
to be agreed upon by the Commissioners of
the Four Great Powers, including Sardinia,
/ and for the admission of the Italian States
to the Peace Congress as was the case at
Sayback. To this proposition all the pow
ers assented except Austria.
GREAT BRITAIN.-The London Times on
the 2Ist ult., issued special edition con-
tanning the following important dispatch:
| TuREIH, April 21st.-Gen. Gyulai, the
| Austrian Commander in Lombardy, has
been ordered to present the ultimatum of
Austria, requiring the disarmament and the
/ sending away of che volunteers, if this De
/ refused, war is to be declared in three days.
/ Two addiaional divisions of the Austrian
army amounting to 10000 men have been
ordered to Ticino. The English proposal
for Congress upon the same conditions as
| that at Sayback has been refused.
The London Times, adds, we have reason
to believe that the same intelligence has
been received by the government. A Cab
i met Council was at once summoned. The
English Government promptly telegraphed
to Vienna the strongest protest against the
above menance. The Vienna correspon-
dent of London Times, telegraphs under
/ date of Thursday noon, as follows: The
j dav before Yesterday, Austria forwarded q
/ categorical summons to Sardinia to dissolve
the free corps. A reply is to be given with
/ in three days from the receipt OF the SUM
mons and an answer to be considered equiv
alent to refusal.
i FRANcE.-The Paris Monitear of Friday
saws that Austria has not given its adhe
sion to the proposition made by England
and accepted by France, Prussia and Russia
besides which it appears that the Cabinet o
Vienna has resolved upon addressing
| FIa Oh
that Gen. Maramara had informed the French
Government by telegraph, that the Austrian
army had made significant move on th'
straiegical line of Ticino, and he feared al
attack at any moment. Napoleon held
} council with his Ministers, attended by
Prince Jerome and Napoien as Princes o
blood. The King of Sardinia also held
| Council with his Ministers on Tuesday
; The Constitutional announces that part o
the army at Paris had been ordered to b
} ready to march.
II AUsrRIA-VIENNA,F Friday.-The follow
, ing official statement has been published
! Piedmont which for some years past has
endangered Austria's rights has been sum
moned most urgently by Austria to disarm
besides this demand expressly addressed to
!, Piedmont, Austria adheres firmly to the
pFOpOSti VI SSuoIdi OiSoi uaLnOEsp oAsAOoS5I
she cannot make that proposal subordinate
to the summons She has sent to Sardinia.
LONDON, Sunday, April 23.-The Times
says the Imperial Manifesto which is to &C
company the declaration of war against
Sardinia, has already been prepared. Aus,
tria is mistress of her position and is ready
by active state and deed of war to institute
the sanguinary drama upon which the cur
tain is about to rise. No doubt a eeneral
movement of the French forces has taken
place on the entire Piedmontese frontiers.
The English Journals generally think that
the last chance of peace has about vanished.
The London Herald gives in semi official
form, specific and conclusive information OF
the movements of the French troops. It
says that orders have been given for the en-
barkation at Toulon, of thirty thousand
troops, not to sail however until further or
ders. The garisons at Lyons, Grenoble,
Bassasetan, etc.. were also ordered to be
ready to march on minutes notice, but
not move until further instructions were
given. The total French force destined to
cooperate with Sardinia in the event of a
war is estimated at sc, 200. They will be
formed in two division-one under Gen.
Canvolent, and the other, Gen. paraguay
D'HilEers, and the whole to be under the
Emperor in person.
