this purpose ! took especial pains to
elicit the opinions of various grades, from the
diplomatic cotere to society of mechanics. 1t is
certainly singular that such unanmity in such dis
cordant classes should have been found. At first
the proverbial p0liteness of Frenchmen renders it
difficult to penetrate the disguise they surround
themselves with; but little patience, little gentle

pet corns. is sure to bring out the truth, and
Frenchman is still a Frenchman to the backbone
Yes" he says, England is the hereditary enemy
OF France-still, as of yore, detested by every
mothers son of us-and we do not deny that to hu
initiate her, to make her hold place consorhnt to
her insular nsignihcance in the estimation Of the
civilized world would stir up every soul in France
LORD Howden has done us no injustice when he
says that to this purpose the widow would give her
last son, the beggar his last sou; but we
are not such fools as to run muck at you without
knowing thoroughly our plans"
Balloon manufacture is now quite the order OF the
day. Forty women are engaged day and night in
the fabrication of one which is to be sent oil to
headquarters with all despatch.

passage remaining open. The vessel is ready
to be sunk there, and the channel will then be

Some surprise has been felt that the Mincio was
not crossed immediately after the victory of Sofe-
rno; but the difficulty of feeding an army of $50 900
men must be considered, as stores cannot be
sent on in advance in country occupied
by the enemy it is evident that if the army had in
the evening of the oath pursued the Austrians be-
hind the Mincio it would have remained four or
five days without provisions The French army
could have crossed the Minco three days sooner,
but it is certain, from all we hear, that it would
have been prey to hunger three days after. The
great Bonaparte, it will be remembered, was in
conquered country, and commanded only 30 900 in
stead of 1900 men, and thus could make marches
and contemporaries.
Prince Napoleon, says q letter from valegio,
arrived there at five o'clock on the LIST inst. The
King Of Sardinia was there incog: ON the morning
after and returned to Rivoltslla after remaining an
hour with the Emperor and the Prince The Prince
left the same evening to rejoin his corps ddrnee,
and will establish his headquarters at Goito, small
town about seven miles from Mantua.
Subscriptions are pouring in from all quarters for
the benefit OF the wounded. Among the contributors
the Moniteur of this morning announces the names
Of the Duke and Duchess Of Malakof-the former
1000f., the latter 500f.
Great indignation is expressed at the imputation
cast upon France by some of the German journals,
OF unfair or rather harsh treatment to the Austrian
prisoners, in selling them to hard labor, as if they
them to Algeria. All the government journals take
fire, and declare that the pay secured to the Aus
tran prisoner for his labor is better than he could
have obtained at home, but that the transport to
Algiers is both polite and humane measure, the
advantage OF which the Austrian himself has al
ready recognized in his eagerness to avail himself
of the opportunity.
These journals, too, display considerable
soreness at the conduct Of the Papal 60
vernment at Perugia. Il is asked whether
the Roman States are Italians-yes or no? If yes,
how can it be supposed that they are to be idle
spectators on the question of Italian independence?
However above which aUin

tanly but no priest had not leaned to the side of
foreign domination, no blood would have been shed.
He has insulted Piedmont, and his insults, by re-

Letters from Hungary state that the whole coun-
try is inundated with proclamations of the
most stirring character, from Kossuth and
General Klapka. Austria is never spo-
only. After ten years he raises his voice
to tell them that liberty, which succumbed in l849
is now again in the ascendant, and General Klapka
calls on all to take up arms and display the national
"every scythe, as well as every musket, is
weapon. Assemble! avenge all the Magyars assas
sinated by the HapsburgsH' Rise! sacrifice your
crops; let them be trampled under foot to the last
bade!" says Kossuth az swear to YOU by the
God of the Magyars that will enrich your soil for
q thousand years while reconquerng Hungarian
liberty"
To Judge from this, things look shady for Austria
in the East as well as the West. But letters from
influential Austrians speak with wondrous conf
dence, and declare that the country is as full
heart as ever, and sangune of success as on the
day they first took the initiative in this llfated
war.
