The CrIsis In the War.
From the London Times, July IL

. The late Ministry was expelled, not m ich because
there was any Of It's taking part Auss
but because having been in office during the discussions
which preceded the war had been brought into warm
argument with France, and could hardly address the
French Emperor IN The friendly tone which due TO
done nothing TO forfeit their claim to . favorable
hearing at the Tueries, will be able represent Eng
land hitting manner whenever the French Emperors
moderation shall induce him 70 listen TO proposals for
peace. The means by which the govern nent will fu.fl
their mission I'D the moment they will choose for it,
not obscurely represented in the recent Ministerial
speeches. II agreed all hands that the present time
is nOpportuFe for mediation. The two armies which
contendDg Italy still face 10 face neither OF them
sed be unable continue the struggle. Il Is
true that the result of the battle Of Magenta has been the
surrender Of Milan and Of nearly all Lomoardy; that the
battle of Soferino has proved that the Austrans
not contend in the open field against the French,
and that henceforth Austrian valor must coaane
itself 10 defending the works OF strongly fortified
places against the enemy But no one can believe that
such forresses compose the famous QuAdraterar'
can be taken in day The French Emperor must use all
hts forces against Peschiera Verona and Mautua and
not impossible that the delay occaSoned IN the imperial
Of conquest by these celebrated styoghods may
tvens u turn, however slightly, in fdror Of Austria. Inc
var indeed may be considered As divided into two cam
pagps. The first Ia at end. began with the invasion
Of Piedmont by the Austrans and comprises the great
battles which have deprived Francis Joseph Of his LON
bard dominons. The second has 10 begin. 1t will be
the conflict between immense besiegng army and ano
Their equally which defends eaboaiey constructed
orretses Although the general superiority Of the French
in tae first OF these campaigns ncontesable, may be
difficult for them TO gain RAPID or even decisive SUCCESS In
ment 10 delay their action, keeping their sympatoes in
apeysnce until 1t shall be proved ,chat side they
most adpantogeously their e1etons With respect TO
me neutral position Of this country, no change has been
effected by the displacement OF the late Ministry "Tne
course which We intend 70 pursue" said Lord Pal
merston, amid the cheers Of the opposition, " is
mat which has been chalked out by those who
have preceded U.s." A strict neutrality is to be OBJ
served and yet every will be taken to strengthen
the offences Of the country. Advice will in due
time betendercd 10 the belgerent Powers by England
either alone acting in conjunction with other States,
but Sc has been the moment for such nterfe
renee has not yet Lord Malmesbury, in the OPT
pion OF the present government and perhaps in that Of
the country, far in his attempts at reconciliR
ton, and forced his good offices Soveregns whs
were equally bent and sangune OF its results
II ought, however, to be mentioned that at that time
the two Powers stood on an equality, and, peace not
having been yet disturbed, every moment was OPP
different Ia the state Of affairs Blood hos been
she'd, kingdom has been lost, nation has asserted
its independence, and the Austrtdps fgh,ng
NTH little hope Of ultimate success at the perry limits Of their
Lombard erry The government understood 70 have in
view arrangements which would involve great sacrifices
to AUSTRIA and which, consequently, cannot yet be pro
posed but which the further successes Of the French will
doubt 70 be specified. In the words of Lord
Granville the desire Of Lord Palmersons government
to insure not only present peace, but arrangements
which may be likely TO lead TO peace for the future-ar
raDgements not unjust 10 any OF the parties and
surg much possible the interest OF the countries
where tho contest is raging" The meaning Of this
guage Ia not to be doubted and the important consdera
lions TO which gives rise justify the reserve and caution
OF Ministers.
