Progress Of the AustsIans Explained. -
Much surprise has been expressed by many
persons that the Austrians, after crossing
the Ticino, should have made such slow
progress in their march of invasion, when
every hour to them is so important. 1t is
stated, in letter from Ttrin, that the Sar-
dihians have blown up the bridge at Buffa-
fora, feileu trees across the roads, and cut
the dykes, and thus have have cverAowed
the fields this side of the Ticino.
This. perhaps, will account for the DELAY
of the Austrians. Many of the roads across
the plains of Sardinia, now the seat of war,
are, or were, lined with rows Of full grown
trees, and a very little labor would materi-
ally obstruct the roads for two or three days
at least.
NATURALIZATION The Massachusetts
Legislature has determined that no foreigner
in that State shall be allowed the privilege
of voting until two years has elapsed after
his naturalization, aud unless he can read

IN Maryland, is in ecstacies over this act of
its Massachusetts coadjutors, and urges up
on Its party throughout the colutry to pro
scribe foreigncrs ill the same, way. while it
will require seven years before d for eigner
can become u voter, Notwithstanding the
law of Congress designed to confer that
right after residence Of Ave years. And
he must also be allie to read aid write the
English language.
