The landing will take place on some point nea.
the month of the Tocliamento

the mouth of the Tagliamanto.
The order of battle is conceived in such manner
that the corps d'0rntee of Prince Napoleon which
is to pass through Modena, to turn the right flank
of the Austrians, will arrive at the end of its tine
rary at the very moment that the landing of the
fleets troops will take place, SO that the
two corps will reciprocally protect each other
and unite to maneuvre in Venitia on the
rear of the Austrian army. Half of the
Piedmontese army 80 600 men. under the command
Of Victor Emanuel, will surround Peschiera and
undertake the siege while the other half with the
whole French army under the immediate command
of Emperor Napoleon. will threaten the front of
the Austrian army to engage a batte az the most
favorable moment
The bombardment of Venice Is resolved upon,
and it will commence frou, the side OF the Lido.
the flo ating batteries.
The'first thing that Napoleon and Victor Emanuel
think of doing is to raise and organize national
Italian army and il il hoped that the leves made in
and principally in Lombardy, will in less than two
months furnish new army of 60 900 men, the staff
Of which will be composed of Piedmontese officers.
That is the true sense of the proclamation that
and which ends as follows:" Rally round the
standard of King Victor Emanuel - = be soldiers
to-day, to become tomorrow free citizens Of q
great country"
The Ostdeutsche Post comments ON the above
communication as follows:-
While publishing this communication, we firmly
believe that the eDemy's plan of attack will prove
failure in presence OF the concentrated forces OF
the Austrian army. The proposed junction Of the
landing corps and that Of Prince Napoleon will
tainly offer more difficulties in the execution than
on paper. The fortress of Palma Nuova will, in
this circumstance render us important service, and
the imperial army will well be able to protect its
rear Undoubtedly Napoleon III has in this campaign
OF Italy, an advantage which Napoleon ]. had not.
The sea is open to him. He can land troops on tue
point Of the Adriatic which will seem most conve-

everything mostly depends on the attitude Of Eng
land, Of the promises which the English govern
ment has obtained from the Emperor Napoleon,
and Of the proceedings of the new Cabinet.
AUSTRIAN ARMAMEfTs--wEAT 1T MEANs, TO CALL
IN the "FIFrH" BATrALIoNs
In the Austrian empire, as well as in Prussia,
every male inhabitant is bound to serve his country
in the army. Only the students Of Catholic theolO-
gy and the sons ofsuch noble families who enjoyed
before 1903 sovereign rights, are excepted from
this law. The difference between the Austrian and
Prusaan system is only, that you may in Austria
buy "remplacant" which is not allowed in Prus-
sa and that the term Of military service in Prussia
is three years, in Austria instead of IA years before
lS4S it is now eight years. This term of service is
called a "capituaton." But in time of peace the
soldiers of the infantry are kept under arms not
longer than four years, and then sent home under
the name Of Army reservists" because four years
found sufficient to learn thoroughly the infan-
try service and the habits and duties of discipline.
The men, having served four years, and having been
dismissed longer than one year, form, if called
in the four battaons of the regiment, which
consists in peace time only of three bat.aions, each
counting 600 men. The calling in of the first
years reserve augments therefore every regiment
of infantry by 900 men. Now the Austrian army,
counting 70 regiments Of regular line infantry, the
increase of the calling in the four battailons was
10000 men Infantry and a propOrtonate increase
of artillery, cavalry aud chasseurs
The imperial decree, by which the calling in of
the "ft'' battailons was lately ordered, increased
therefore the army, wiz
