u. THR Successes OF THR FREsca.--They (the
French) have beaten the AustTisns at every point
exactly as they prophesied They have done no
less than they ssid They Went into battle with
what Englishmsn might consider an awkward ebli-
cation, but they have we'll disohargedit They stood
10 win rather oncrous terms; for II they won it
was no more than they had pledged themselves to
do, and if they lost their and credit vent
together. HeweVer, they have been as goo1 Their
word, and, if their undertakings we're large, their
performance has been in due proportion.
Ills, indeed, impossible to read Of the French
army, described and characterized By orr CORES
pondent, without feelings Of sdniratisn. We ere
not speaking merely Of its vsor upon the field, for
the Piedmentsse and the Austrians are brave also,
but Of the perfection 70 which French soldiers sp-
pear to carry every military excelsnoe. They adapt
themselves 70 circumstances with facility guile
msFvelloas They embark at one port snd ere
landed at another without the least embarrassment
confusion; they take their places in railway
train as easily IS if they had learnt the maneaVre
on parade-which perhaps they did; and when they
ct the close Of long march their carriage
is as sprightly aid as elastic IS If they hsd Just
Quilted their barracks Look, again, st their in
stinetive faculties Of organizations. An army Of
more than 100 coo mey, has been moved, quGrtsred,
campsd, and fed with so little demand upon the
resources Of Sardinia itself that he prices Of pre-
visions IN that country we're At first hardly raised
The rations Of the Freneh troops were brought from
French towns stored in krsnoh Magazines, and
prepared by French hands without so much ss the
aid Of Piedmontese butcher or Piedmontese
oven. All that immense hoss has been seIf-sup~
porting. Il is supplied With as much regularity as
the population Of Paris, and is msneavred with
much accuracy as division in the Champ de
Mars.

THE Policy or Louis NAPOLEON We have
reason 20 believe that tue French government is pre-
pared TO give tho new Foreign Minister Of England
the most complete proofs Of the moderation and
disnterestedness Of its policy in Italy Il is ready
to declare anew that not only Goes il seek no terri
orial aggrandizsmeht for France bat that it desires
no thrones for the relatives Of the Emperor, or
Princes dependent en- France. Far from Fishin to
prolOng the war, the desire Of the French govern
ment is that il may be short. The war has been
commenced for the liberation Of Italy, snd will be
carried until that object is attained but only for
the sake Of The end. Should any powerful neutral
the Prince Regent Of Prussia, for instance-fnd
himself in position 10 offer his mediation the
French government would be ready to engage TO
leave Italy entirely TO ITSELF aitGr securing ss inde
pendence
We DO not see how France can be asked 70 GO
further than this in order 10 satisfy The Just require
ments of Europe; and, until some fact becomes
known calculated 70 throw doubt upon the intentions
Of the Imperial government il would De prudent 10
ACCEPT these assurances is possible 10 push diE
trust 70 an absurd and dsn Esroas extent Prudence
Is high political virtue; but constant and systE-
stic suspieien aud hostility for imaginary eausss,
sometimes produce the evils against which they
were designed to guard.
