40 War PrOsress-Thc state of EUROPE.

| No War PrOgress-Thc State of Europe.
The dates from the seat Of war are to the
18th Of May SO far it had been almost blood
less. No battle or skirmish of importance had
been fought. The grand armies OF over one
hundred thousand men each, anayed against
each other on line extending some forty miles
and separated by distances varying from eight
to twenty miles, continued to hold nearly their
relative positions without striking blow This
state OF suspense and inactivity cannot last
much longer The Austrians must re cross the
Po, or a battle must be fought Both parties
are receiving re-inforcements
The London correspondent Of the Tribune
under date Of May l4th, gives the following
view Of the state Of Europe
The first Austrian clmpaign is over. The
plan TO follow up the invasion Of Piedmont by
a rapid march TO Turin was baffied bv the un-
expected arrival Of the French, and the rising
OF the rivers, while tue low country was arti
| hcially inundated by the cutting OF the dikes
/ The Austrians, with their traditional slowness
lost all the advantage of being the first in tho
! field, and seemed TO forget that the snow melts
every year 10 Spring on the Alps and increases
the body of the waters. They are now fast re-
tirng. They have given up the line of the Sc
sia and will scarcely await the French within
the boundaries Of Piedmont Francis Joseph
who. in the first instance, snubbed Baron Hess
for his cautious plan OF campaign, which was
II remain around Piacenza and to accept the
battle under the cannons of the fortress has now
lost his confidence in the more daring plan of

Baron Hess to supersede Gyulai in the com

movements have considerably damped the mill
itary ardor Of the young Austrian officers, who
thought they might within a few days destroy
the Sandman forces and occupy and plunder
| Turin. The halo which surrounded Radetzky's
army will soon be dimmed, which was artificial
! from the very first, and especially manufactured
! by the German journals Napoleon has taken
the command, and is hailed by his soldiers with
enthusiasm, and by the Italians with complete
madness. If he succeeds in bis maiden cam
paign, and makes generous use of his victory
in favor of Italian independence, he will secure
the throne for his dynasty. If beaten, he is
| lost With such heavy stakes we shall soon
hear of a great pitched battle, probably within
week.
! Russia solemnly denies any alliance with
France. Still, from herevasive explanation we
may infer that she has bound herself TO watch
Austria and to keep Prussia in awe in case she
should espouse the cause of Austria The
Czaris not prepared for great war; but he may
easily, by hostile neutrality, paralyze an Aus.
tran army and the Teutonc enthusiasm of
Germany. His fret and principal object is the
emancipation of the serfs, which has already
progressed far that it cannot be postponed
any longer without endangering the public
peace.
AS regards England as was said lately bv
very influential man, Lord Derby is at least for
non interventiun Prince Albert for interyen-
tion in favor of AUSTRIA and Lord Pamerston
for Intervention in favor Of France The elec.
tlons gave a good opportunity to the boroughs
and counties for expressing their wishes for
complete noninteWention and honest neutral

have gained about twenty seats and are still in
a minority of about sixty votes in full Parlia-

ed 100000 for the election, and Duke of
Northumberland G25 900 each of the three
new peers fl0,000, and some 100000 more
were furnished by the other members of the
Carlton Club 1t is, however, great question
whether the Liberals will be able TO defeat the
Ministry, which olings to office, and cannct be
ousted but by a vote of want cf confidence
Now the Liberals are not united the Radicals
hate Lord Palmerston still more than they
hate Lord Derby, and the split between Lord
John Russell and Lord Palmerston is not yet
healed
We hear from Turkey that the agitation in
Bosnia and Bulgaria is on the increase, and an
outbreak may soon be expected. The Sultan
has increased his army by an additional 81, 600
men along the Danube but he has no good Of
icers. Omer Pasha is jealous of every rising
mani and the stolidity Of the Turks prevents
them from making the proper use of the foreign
officers in their service.
