The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1859-05-19

War las been formally declared by Austria,
France, Sardinia and Russia. We regret
that We ate unable TO give the praclama:ious
Of each government, which show up the OBJ
iects and views Of the re. pee;ive parties in
their own way. Atthe latest dates no actual
collision had taken place between the armies,
bu, in all probability the fighting has COM
mcnced ere this. Ia speaking OF tie objects
Of tie war, the New Yak Tribune says:
The ultimate ann Of tie European war on
The part ct France and Russia, the two great
Powers whose policy las brought il on, is
very probably The possession OF tie left bank
OF lie Rhine for the one, and OF the Bos-
rhoraos for the other. As yet, however, the
iull scope OF the conflict IS not developed
but its immediate and apparent objects are
simple, and easily explained.
HostiIiJies have been begun by Austria,
against Sardinia, and tie stepis justified by
the former as a necessary act OF self detence.
Austria complains in her manifesto that, af-
Ter years of hostility, Sardinia has finally
taken up position OF declared anlagoni> m to

herself IN a state 81 perpetual preparation for
attack; and the invasion of tie Sandman terri

Sardinia on the other Land, complains that
Austria. net content with tie possession Of
those parts Of Italy ass gned to her by the
Treaty of 1915, aspires to a complete consrol
OF the whole Italian peninsula; that, BY means
Of her garIisous on tie south side Of the Pc,
she susfains Governments 81 50 oppressive a
character as TO keep up a constant state Of ag-
iJa,ion and discomfort; and that the peace oi

The Of iects 81 the Austrians and Sarduians
