details and some facts of interest are added.
The Austrian Correspondence (official jour
nall of the 29th after detailing the progress
of affairs, says Austria must draw the sword
to maintain European order. The London
Post of the 29th says there is still hope for
peace, as the English offer of mediation was
under the serious consideration of the Empe-
ror of the French, and if the Austrans re-
Trained from advancing, pacific settlement
might still be made.
France and Russia.
The following are the provisions of the
Russo-English treaties, as given by the
Times
By the first treaty, Russia binds herself, in
the event of France being at war with Aus
tria to assist France with. the cooperation of
her fleets in the Baltic and Mediterranean, and
to place an army of $4,000 men on the Aus
trian frontier. This, the Times says, is di-
rected obviously against England, and its ex-
istence is proof that the enterprises which
are thus to be protected, are such as it would
be impossible for England to allow to pass I'M
challenged. The Russian army of observa-
ton, the Times concludes, is to excite insur-
rection among the Hungarians and Scavon-
les.
The second treaty provides that, in case
Austria shall invade Sardinia, Russia shall de-

violation of the Piedmontese soil. The Times
maintains that England need take no active
part, so long as war is confined to Italy but if
France and Russia attack England in Ger
many, Russia seeking perchance, indemnity
In the East of it, or if Prussia should be laid
under a contribution of territory, then the de-
sign OF the treaties would become no less than
a partition of Europe, and the first principle of
preservation would compel us to consider
whether we can better defend ourselves on the
continent, or at our own homesteads How
ever much we may desire to keep clear of these
complications the existence of great German
power is essential to our safety.
Things In Sardinia,
The following is a summary of the King of
Sardinia's proclamation TO his army: The king
regards the demand to disarm as an outrage on
himself and the nation, and therefore repealed
the demand with dsdain and scorn. The king
calls to mind Italy's cry ofanguish, and says:
81 will be your Captain; l have proved your
yalor on the field Of battle by the side of my
illustrious father. This time you will have
for your comrades the gallant French soldiers,
your companions on the Tchernaya, whom the
Emperor has sent to support and defend our
just and civilizing cause Forward to victo-
ry! Let our banners announce to you that our
object like our war-cry, is-lndependence for
Italy
Prince Carguan had been appointed Lieut.
General Of Piedmont during the war The
Universities of Piedmont had been closed by
Royal decree. The Sardinians had retired
from Palasza to the west bank of the Sesia
The great mass Of the army, $4,000 strong,
was condensed around the fortresses of Allies
sandria and Casale, with a second line at the
foot of the Apennines, between Now and Tor
tona.
The Turin correspondence of the Times
does not think the Austrians will reach the
capital The country had been laid under wa
ter by means Of the canals OF irrigation, and
means had been taken to render the roads
temporarily impossible. The Sandman Gov
eminent had appropriated all horses belonging
to private individuals, the highest price allow
ed being 916.
The news of Tuscany joining Piedmont and
France is confirmed. The Grand Duke refus-
ed to abdicate but retired to Bologna, after
throwing himself upon the protection Of the five
great powers. The Tuscan army is $4,000
strong 1t was said Victor Emanuel had been
made Dictator of Tuscany
miscellaneous.
The Channel Squadron, which had gone to
the Mediterranean, was to be Immediately re-
called. On the 9th four new ships of-the- line
were placed in commission.
1t is stated that the French and Russian
Governments have lately been procuring large
supplies of charts and surveys Of the English
coast and English stations in the Mediterrane-
an, and have likewise been engaged in making
large purchases of coal, irrespective Of price
or quality.
1t is also intimated that an extensive order
for charts had been received from the Spanish
Government, and the inference was that Spain
JVould t,rour barSalf ioto tho arms Of Eranno
Twenty-seven gunboats of light draft, with
some vessels of larger size, were building ON
the Thames for the Spanish government. 1t
was suggested that Spain might be acting
merely as the agent of others Large quanti-
ties of ammunition and guns were being ship
ped to Gibraltar and Malta.
Gen. Williams, of Kars, is appointed Com
mander-in-C Chief of Canada. The quarterly re-
turns of emigration from Liverpool show great
activity in the movement towards the United
States and it was believed that in the next few
months emigration to America would be the
largest experienced for several years.
--latest Despatch.
The Persia has nearly two hundred passen-
gers, among whom is Hon. VIM. B. Read, ex-
Minister to China She sailed at ten A. NJ. of
the 30th, consequently her advices are not so
late as those by the Galway steamer, which
were to noon from London.
The panic on the London Exchange was in
tense. Over fifty stock brokers failed, some
of them quite important. The new India loan
had declined to g per cent

between France and Russia. The Russians
We're merely to place fifty thousand men as AN
army of observation on the frontiers of Cali
cha. The Times, however, says, with respect
to this treaty, "We have nothing essential to
retract. 1t is not in the nature of secret
treaty, to be given in detail within week af-
ter the signature but the main facts are, we
fear, beyond doubt"
The Herald says, speaking of English medi-
alton, that further attempts are useless. The
French, it believes are anxious to reopen ne
gotiations by means of conference between
England, Russia, and Austria, to be held dur
ing sort of armstice between the actual liti-
cations The Times and other morning jour
mails, deny emphatically that Denmark had
commenced treaty offensive and defensive,
with France. The Times of Saturday reiter-
ates a previous statement, and says the ad
vanced post of the Austrian army crossed the
Ticino on the 26th and took position on the
Ennis territory, and the main army crossed on
the Doth. BY all accounts, the Austrians had
determined on vigorous movement and there
can be little doubt, are DESTROYS of striking
blow before the French troops can reach them.
The war enthusiasm is increasing in France.
Paris was in a state of high excitement The
French were unprepared for the sudden move
ment of the Austrans. They expected to be-
gin war at their leisure, somewhere about the
end of May
