pArRYorIsx AGAINST POWER.

pATUIOTI9x AGAINST POWkRs
In answer to these formidable armame nts France
organizes an Army Of the East which had been al
ready spoken Of as Q fiction, and which has al
ready reached 100000 men. But what could these
10000 men do against nation electrified by true
patriotism, and which can, AZ soon as they place
their foot on its beloved and fertile soil, raise
at one moment million Of soldiers on the borders
Of the Rhine? II is true when they speak Of
Franco. Russian alliance; we have ourselves, In our
last bulletin, believed it possible. But things have
greatly changed.
THE POLICY OF RUSSIA.
Russia, whose policy il to enfeeble and
reduce Germany, would see with pleasure a
union of Lombardy to Piedmont. But the Gar,
who has accounts to arrange with Poland, is also
the natural and necessary enemy of revolution.
What did the cause of the Church and of authority
serve in 1882 Who sufocated victorious Hungary?
Who was the conqueror of the French republic
long before that? The Gar. But the Car is Justly
Harmed at the revolutionary character which
events have taken in Italy; he is alarmed at
Tie presence of Garibaldi on the Ticino; he is
alarmed at the menaces and the appeals of
Of Kossuth; he is alarmed at Mazzinis mani
festations Of JOY. The Gar has, then, had
glimpse at the abyss. Austria Immediately cleverly
pleases, and after thousand efforts she forced from
the Cabinet of Vienna hope Of neutrality 1t is at
least what is said on all sides.
BACKWARD TENDENCY OF FRENCH POLICY.
In short, French policy loses ground every day
on the Continent Nothing has occurred in Ger
many which resembles reaction Neither Eng
land Nor Russia leave themselves to be dragged
into war, nor Prussia nor Germany to observe
neutrality.
God grant that France, the cxpiatory victim Of
the horrors of the empire, may not be invaded
second time. She would have TO pay dear for her
Chauvinsm and her incOmprebensible worship for
the system of the I'd of December. because it is
upon her back that they will fight the nephew of
the great man to teach him to respect nationaltes
and to find in the homes of other people courage
and patriotism Of which he believes he has the
monopoly.
COUNT GyULAIs REPORT.
The latest intelligence OF the week is Of cha
racter, to excite the, most lively interest:
Field Marshal Count Gyulai on The affair
of Montebello, which exactly confirms
the opinions which we had formed of this affair at
time when all the journals of the empire chaunt-
ed victory in every tone, and some possessed the.
mpudence even to be bold enough to maintain
that $500 French had beaten Is 600 Austrians. It
is very true, in effect, that the offensive manouvre
Of General Stadion bad other view but to cover
retreat-that that movement was executed &C
cording to all rules, and if there was Tie Deun,
to be sung for that affair it could not be at the
church Of Notre Dame at Paris.
GENERAL sTADIoNs TACTICS.
| The tactics Of the Austrian general consisted in
possessing himself Of Caseggio and Montebello,
with the end of having base for menacing Vog-
hera and forcing the enemy to show all his forces
so that he could not take them to another point.
| SHADOWS GENEEALsnIP AND GYULAI's CANDoR.
It is now known with what a imirable precision
| that maneuvre was executed, but General Gyulai
does not dssimuate as to what was the cost OF the
success of General Stadiop. The list of dead and
wounded which is annexed to the report presents
! total figure Of us wounded, 294 killed and 2S3
| missing. In the number of wounded is General
| Braun and twenty-four officers; eleven subaltern
| officers are killed and four are noted missing.
The combatants included in that last category are
evidently the prisoners made at Casteggio, who
! have been sent to the French generals quarters.
NUMBERS OF THE FRENCH.
II will be observed that the Austrian Field Mar
shall positively averages the number Of conbatants
of the enemy at 10000 against which the division
of Stadion had to fight. The French troops which
have been under fire are composed of twelve regi.
ments of infantry some battaons Of chasseuis and
| a regiment of cavalry. The Piedmontese had fur
nished brigade and the regiment of Novara.
THE POSITION OF sTRApFLLA.
The essential result of the affair of Montebello Is
| that the Austrians have secured the position OF
Stradella, OF which we have not heard any
| thing of importance till now. II is that
position which General Bonaparte occupied in the
| campaign of 1900 with the body of the French
army, while the Allies very nearly find themselves
in the position of General Melas. There is this diff
ference only-that in 1900 the Austrian army was
isolated, and without any serious position to support
| them in Piedmont, while the French army of to.
day has solid base Of operations.
GAR1BALDi AGAIN.
We learn also that Garibaldi does not remain in.
active He is barcaded in that latter village; he has
defended it with courage worthy of better cause
| and, after a desperate combat which bears high
testimony to the agility OF the Austrian soldier,
the celebrated adventurer has been left master Of
the ncd VI battlo. Yet IL will porhup, DC ustonfs-
| ing to know that with 5000 or 5000 men he has
! carried himself into the heart of Lombardy far
from the allies, and it may be said in the midst of

PROBABLE EFFECTS OF THE PROCLAMATION.
| This proclamation, which evidently resembles all
those Of the same nature, seems to US to be well
calculated to urge on to insurrecton people eX-

violence in the laDguage-it is from the exag-

like that generosity of the great citizens of ancient

republicans of Italy invoke without ceasing These
appeals to assassination badly conform to the man

| Bonaparte was never seen to abandon himself to
these vain threats, which would be ridiculous were
