THE additional intelligence respecting
the battle of Montebello, which we pub
lish this morning, is not of that explicit
and reliable character which is so much
to be desired. Whatever use compiler
of chronological tables may be able to
make of 1.-THE bare announcement of
battle and victory being sufficient for
his purpose-the historian or newspaper
editor can find in it but few materials for
compiling readable narrative of the
event and its attendant circumstances.
A few days more must elapse, before we
shall be favored with abstracts of the
official dispatches, from which some more
reliable particulars may be CLEANED, than
can be obtained from the incoherent ut
teranoes of our Telegraphic savans. Let
US, therefore, patiently wait for additional
light
One is strongly reminded of the up
heaving of the nations of Europe in
1S4S, on glancing over the reports of an
ticipated instructions which the news
of this morning conveys. Here, the
Sclaves on the Adriatic are manifesting
disposition to shake their fist in the face
of their Austrian masters; there, in
Hungary, concessions are demanded in
tone of menace which implies that the
rule ofthewomen-whipping 'Imperialists"
is detested, and will shortly be resisted;
while, in another quarter, the sick
man" of Turkey, who has recently been
somewhat convalescent, is threatened
with another attack of disease-more in
ternal this time than on the occasion of
his last "ailing."
Whether the anticipations and yearn-
ings of oppressed European nationalities
will be disappointed in 1860, as they
were in 184S, remains to be seen.
Whether the yoke of Austria, over Italy
and Hungary, will now be broken, or if
broken-chieay by the agency of France,
whether q yoke as obnoxious as that of
Austria shall not be fastened on the
former, if not on the latter; whether the
tongue of the Egyptian Sea" Turkey
shall be dried up; whether the Magyars
shall be heard as joyously welcoming to
the throne Of Hungary Prince of their
own nation, as they were heard mourn
fully to deplore, in years gone by, the de-
parture of their MARIA THERESA to the
throne of Vienna; whether the Papal
seat shall be transferred from Rome to
Jerusalem; whether Portugal shall be
confscated between France and Spain
whether these, and other contingencies of
the war now commenced, shall occur as
American sympathies, for the oppressed
80 ardently desire, is more than human
sagacity can predict
England is manifestly doubtful of the
intentions Of 4" our illustrious ally" and
is, therefore, preparing for possible emer-
gencies. She is, moreover, using what
influence she possesses among the Ger
man Princes, to induce them to pursue
neutral cOurse-thus limiting the belli-
gerent sovereignties to those with which
the war originated. But England's
anxiety, as to Napoleons designs or
caprices, has its correspondent advan-
tage; for the detestation in which the
nephew of his uncle" is held by the char
fists, and other dangerous classes" acts
as a charm to make them content with
things as they are, rather than distract
the government by seizing the advantage
which the present excitement might seem
10 give them for rising, as in l848, to
menacingly demand the Six Points of
the Charter, and something more. That
such magnanimity and unselfshness
should be acknowledged by the govern
ing classes, with the rebuff" no further
extension Of the suffrage can be granted
you-go to your burdens ye great un-
washed, is disgrace to the much landed
aristocracy of England, and foul blot
on the escutcheon of the amiable and
large-hearted VICTORIA.
Let US hope, however, that good will
result from the present struggle.
