THE RUSSIAN TREATY.
The Herald says it has the best authority to state
that 10 secret treaty has been signed between France
and Russia The Russians have merely agreed to place
1900 men il observation the Galican frontiers of
| Austria.
Tie TmCs of this morning says with respect to the
two treaties or conventions, or engagements between
France and Austria: We have nothing essential 10
rer.ct. In fact, it is not in the nature Of a secret
treaty to be known III its details within week after
signature; but the main facts are fear, beyond
q" coub."

mediation appear useless. The French it believes,
aSuus to reopen negotiations by the means OF Con

MOVEMENTS OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY
The Herald announces i'll one Of its leading articles,
that the Austrian army, 10000 strong have, We
believe crossed the Ticino in three divisions, by
Novara aud on Turin from the lakes.
The TIMES received intelligence yesterday, that the
staten ent that committed III the night
of the 26h by the entry of Austrian troops ON Pied
nontese soil, was perfectly correct. The advanced
post of Gen. Gyuais army crossed the Ticino, and
| toe up position on the enemys territory; but the
advance OF the main army did not take place till yes
terday, April %. BY all accounts the AusIrans had
determined on vigorous offensive movement, and
there can be little doubt they DESTROYS of striking
blow before French troops be brought against
| them.

state Of excitement.
CAMPAIGN IN ITALY.
While admitting that it is difficult to learn the truth
in such matters and the French may even have d.
rect object in inducing Gen. Gyuai TO believe III their
difficulties, but belief prevails that they will be un-
able to offer serious resistance to the Austrians If
they determine on a vigorous attack.
The French were uhprepared for the sudden move
ment Of the Ausrians and expected to begin war at
their leisure somewhere about the end of May. The
d ficuty and delay on Mont Gents will be consider
obe and though the French carried rapidly to
Genoa they arrive there without means of entering on
a campaign for three week..
