the part Of the populacc. who seem to
breathe deeper and freer as the heavy
hand of oppression is thus removed.
All Milan lie in . delirium of delight,
which even the groans Of the wound
ed and dying, from the battle field OF
Magenta, can neither stifle nor check.
Old Rome even, is jubaant.-though
it does not appear that the Holy Fa-
ther,-Austrian at heart. and Austrian
by sympathy-takes part in the Jub'-
lation. As soon as the defeat Of the
Austrians was announced, there was
a magnificent illumination, and feel
ing of absolute enthusiasm appears to
have taken possession Of the public
mind. While these things are going
on in the cities, the daring and DASH
ing Garibaldi-who is sort of 1tal-
ian Zouave-is doing wonders in the

There has not been great deal of
actual fighting since Magenta but
the little that has taken place has
been, as usual, in favor of the French
and Sardinians. Benedek's Corps was
attacked (second time, at Melagnano,
ION the 9th) and retreated with loss
of between two and three hundred
men. It is expected that demonstra-
ton will soon be made upon Venice
and Trieste, by sea and land.
The probabilities are multiplying,
day by day, that Germany will, anon,
come to the rescue thus making the
war general. The Prince Regent of
Prussia tells his people at cannot be
forctold whether the next moment may
be our (their) own" The Gear does
not like the looks Of things in Germa-
ny, and Gortschakoff occasionally ad-
dresses a circular to the representa-
tives of Russia at all the German
Courts, in the course of which he says:
eve cannot dissimulate the regret
we feel at the excitement manifested
in some parts of Germany" The
Gar, he goes on to say, desires to
"localize the war, because it arose out
of local circumstances, and because it
is the only means of accelerating the
return of peace. The line followed
by some States Of the Germanic Con-
federation tends, on the contrary, to
generalize the struggle, by giving it
character and proportions which go
beyond all human foresight, and which,
under any circumstances, would lead
to increased devastation, and would
cause torrents of blood to be she'd
If Prussia stirs then, the Gar thus
formally gives notice, courteously, bu
Enthusiastically, we think, that Russi;
will enter the ring. Then, as to Eng
