fensive operations in Italy. We CLEAN, how
ever, some interesting extracts from the
English and French press.
TIE WAR IN ITALY.
The London Time, leading article Of the
10Th, says:
"A conflict near Marengo appesaed at
one moment inevitable. We know, how
ever, that during the last five days an entire
change has taken place in the Austrian po-
sition. The invaders have withdrawn all
those troops, which rendered battle immi.

ley Of the Servis, which forms the eastern
boundary Of the battle field of Marengo,
and which washes the walls OF TOrtona.
They have quilted the dangerous neighbor.

they have spread themselves along the line OF
the river Sesia, and upon both banks they
are throwing up defences, Is though they
contemplated protracted occupation. The
Austrians are now in line right across the
fiat country. and have their right wing rest
ing upon the foot Of the Alps, and their left
on the Po, close to the fortified city which
they were thought to be about to attack.
line, which General Della Marmora publicly
declares to be the strategic line of the Sar-
dinians. 1t seems impossible that the Aus
trians can retire without fighting battle,
and it is equally impossible that the French
can remain much longer without striking
blow at them"
General GYuLAI, the commander OF the
Austrian army in Italy, on entering Pied.

against the nation, but against subversive

liberty, would deprive the whole world OF it,

of nations. When your adversary and ours

DEPARTURE OF NAPOLEON FOR ITALY.
On the ll,h of May, Napoleon arrived
at Marseilles, on his way to Italy. He left
Paris on the 10th. The London Times is
not more than half pleased with this move
Of the Frenchman. In its issue OF May 4,
it says
The Emperor OF the French is about, on
Tuesday next, MAY l0), to set out to take
the command of the army, and in his motley
suite will be found chiefs of all the national
tiles. As he goes to make history, be car
ries also with him his bureau h,tori9ue, and
We shall, doubtless, then have more import
ant events to chronicle than those which ye,

leon reaches Genoa We must expect that it
will be to aaugarate his military career by
some great movement revealing the conflict
he has provoked.
Prior to Napoleon's departure, the Mon-
,teuI published the following proclamation
