The European Times says-we cannot eX-

the varying phases of this great struggle to
which we were accustomed in the Russian
war; a contemporary puts this torcibly.
"Switt, secret, silent, will be the movements of
the antagonists. No letters will be allowed to
be written from the camp no one unconnect-
ed with military duties will be allowed to APP
proach the lines. The action of the telegraph
might Illustrate the best laid schemes of gener-
alship. The state of the troops, the position
of corps, movement in advance or retreat
might be flashed over Europe and sent back
to the enemys commander in the space of a
few hours" Only the beligerents will be in
possession of the real state OF things, and ru.
mors of all kinds,-truth fiction, partial and
unreliable revelations, will accompany this
bloody contest for supremacy from its COM
mencement to its close.

The Florence CORRESPONDENT of the Proyi-
dence Journal, writing April 20, says
"The universities Of Siena and Pisa are

loa has arrived in Florence, and will be at the
head of the militia organized to defend Tusca-
ny during the absence of the regular army.
Ferrare, the Austrian who has long been the
commander here when he saw to what pass
affairs were coming, resigned his commission
and lost his reason. 1t is reported, and it is
not denied, that the Grand Duke, several days
before he left, beginning to be conscious of his
desperate situation, but not yet knowing the
determination of the soldiers, sent his son with
letter to the commander of the lower fortress
of Florence, inquring how well off he was
for supplies, and how long he would be able
to hold out if the order was given for him to
to direct his guns upon the city? The inquiry
was received with silent horror and scorn.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says:
at is said that IN application has been re-
Gently made by the French to the NeapoGtan
Government to Ascertain what would be the
policy of the latter during the war, and that
the answer was Strict neutrality Also that
request was Their made for permission to oc.
cupy three ports, one in Sicily and two on the
mainland and the answer to this was that it
was contrary to tie rights of nations, but if
the French took them Notwithstanding, the
Neapoitan Government would make no oppo-
sition, as they had not the means of resisting.

Alleged Success of GarlbaIdi.
A Turin letter in the Brussels Independence
states that on the night of the 4th the Austri-
ans at Vercelli we're surprised by Garibaldi,
who made 400 of them prisoners. The Ital-
ian volunteers and their chief were assisted
by the Cialeini division.
The following is the account of the affair
given by the Nord Sour dispatches from the
seat of war acquaint us with a brilliant coup
de main by Garibaldi 1t seems that this Gen
eral, combining his movements with those of
General Cialdini, has attacked the Austrians
at Tercelli, after having made forced march.
He surprised them in that city, beat them com
petely, bringing of 300 prisoners. a body of
troops sent to support him, by General Ciald
nj, met him bring back his victorious troops"
The London Times remarks upon this re-
port of these Continental papers, they have
invented the story of an attack at Vercell
by Garibaldi. This story is impossible, for if
such feat had been accomplished the Sardin-
ians would have rmg it merrily through Eu-
rope with peals of Geographic bells, and we
should not be left to Hear of it until, after
five days interval, it filters through the me.

per. 1t had been generally believed, but as
far as we know upon no certain authority,
that Garibaldi was in the mountains, watching
the operations of that division of Austrians
which advances into the Alps, and which was
expected to debouch upon the sea line, but is
now with some alate OBJECT than to watch
urre ArpIne passes, and to prevent the game of
1870 being played over again. These businesses
have no railways and no electric wires, and it
is not impossible that Gariba di may have at
tempted some unreported, but just rumored
enterprise in that quarter. But the London
Times would not be pleased to hear that Carl
baldi had beat the Austrians.

Correspondent of tie London News says :
There are some odd things about the recent
military preparations of Austria.
The official Vienna Gazette, of May 8, gives
a letter of the Emperor of Austria to his cous-
in, the Archduke Albrecht, Governor General
of Hungary, ordering him, in laconic language
and incorrect style, to raise volunteer batta-
lions of infantry and hussar divisions for the
support of the throne. The Archduke pub
fishes the letter. and adds to it proclamation,
charging upon the well known chivalrous
spirit of the nation, upon Hungary's attach
ment to the Imperial house, and her deeply
rooted monarchical feelings, without making
any allusion to the events of 1S43, to the war
of lS49, to the loss of the constitution, to the
suppression of municipal institutions, to the
unredressed grievances of the Protestants, or
to the refusal of the Emperor to accept the Pc
tition of the Hungarian aristocracy, presented
to him by the Archbishop of Gran in 1856.
The Hungarans read this proclamation with
undisguised establishment, since even those
few who are SO far attached to the government
that they have accepted office under it, not on
ly expected, but were fully satisfied that in
the moment of Austria's difficulties a shadow
at least of public life and political freedom
would be granted to the country, and that
some slight steps for conciliating the estranged
feelings of the nation would be taken. But
this establishment soon made room for bitter
derision when the principles approved by his
majesty for the formation of the free corps"
became known.
