Notes on the War.
The London Globe says that the reply CIV
en- by France to the repeated assertion IN the
Times that this war must come to dead halt
for lack of cash both on the Austrian and
French side, is met by the Moniteur, and it is
to be hoped the delusion will Eow end. The
people have answered the demand for twenty
millions by rendering nearly one hundred mil
lions sterling, half a million Frenchmen having
dubbed their spare cash for this performance,
and the sums under ten guineas forming one
half fthe whole amount.
M. Aurilhan, an engineer of the Corps DIES
Pout ct Chaussees attached to the Paris and
Lyons Railway Company, has been sent for by
a Geographic dispatch from Alessandria. He
sailed from Marseilles for Genoa on the 10th,
accompanied by eighty operative carpenters,
in the war steamer Arriege.
Serious alarm is felt in Paris concerning the
attitude assumed by the church. 1t is plain
that the Emperor has alienated the Catholic
party. His old ally, Veuillot, has even turn
ed round within the last few days, and is veer-
ing rapidly towards an admiration of his old
abomination-England.
The boucerie of the Archbishop which pre-
| vented the grand ceremony which was to have
| taken place at Notre Dame, has not been ac-
counted for in any other way than by the
refusal of the prelate to bestow absolution up
on the Emperor-a necessary prelude to
receiving the COMMUNICATIVE bent upon
rushing forth to the destruction Of his fellow
| creatures
The Bishop of Arras, of less tender con-
science, was therefore summoned to officiate in
private at the Tuilleries, and the absolution
was bestowed by him. Revenge for this re-
bellion has been swift and sure The two
military sentinels that formed the guard of
honor at the gate of the archbishop's palace
have been withdrawn, under the pretence of
the necessity of employing the soldiers else
| where.
The London Times publishes another letter
| from its correspondent at the Austrian head
quarters, dated Mortara, May 18th. He alludes
to the present condition of Venice and Trieste
in the following terms
'Venice in May, without 10 visitors The
state of Stagnation is complete, all the military
| preparations being already made. These are
of a most formidable nature, and, considering
| the difficulty of access TO vessels of any size,
do not hesitate to say that merely naval at
tack on that place would have no chance of
success. Every channel has either already
been quite blocked up by sunken ships, or
vessels laden with stones are moored close by,
ready to close the small remaining passage at
a few minutes notice, and guns of large calibre
| mostly 81 inch shell guns, but longer than the
10 inch guns) command all these obstacles.
Trieste presented an equally melancholy ap
| pearance, more so, perhaps, for the ruin is
| greater. There, at all events, is but one
| feeling,-that of the most intense hatred of the

| Neapolitan Government procaims its neutrali.
ty In it the cabinet of Turin seeks to establish
that Naples can no longer enjoy the benefit of
neutrality, as that Power has given its implicit
adhesion to the policy of Austria.
A communication from Alessandria states
that it has been resolved, i'll order to secure
unity in the strategetical movements, to unite
the troops of the two allied nations, each corps
d'armee under the command of Marshal of
France, to be composed of three French divi-
sions and one Sandman 1t was thought at
headquarters that the French and Piedmont
csc would Immediately leave Alessandria, and
advance by the right bank of the Pc towards
the Milanese frontier.
Several members ofthe clergy of Lucca have
published the following address Italian
brothers, we also are Italians your glories, as
your griefs, are also ours we have in common
the same friends and enemies. We all form
one people only, one sole nation. May mer-
clful God grant that the victory OF the Italian
arms may cause the divine Kingdom TO tn
umph, IN which only the sanctlty OF the laws
and the universal good shall be seen TO reign!
May the God OF mercy grant that after the ex-
tlnctlon OF wrath the heafts ana minus OF men
may calm down to peace and equity, and that
the love OF rellglon ana Christlan knowledge
may again flourish, III order that Cllrlstlan CIV

The New French Guns.
The Paws announces that a German officer
who arrived in Paris Yesterday, from the seat
of war in Italy. saws that two battalions of ri
femen. one Austrian and the other French.
having observed each other on different sides
of the river Pc, commenced firing. "Great
was the stupefaction of the enemy" saws the
French General. "at seeing that their balls did
not reach us. while our balls struck their sol
diers with disastrous precision. They imme-
diately dispersed, leaving 20 of their men on
the ground"
The new rifcd French cannon made their
debut in a smart encounter at Valenza, where
an Austrian CORPS. keeping out of artillery
range las they thought, were utterly con-
founded by volley sent bang INTO the midst
OF them, from distance OF seven thousand
metres, dlsmountlng thelr guns anu causing
immense destruction OF men.
