he first Austrian campaign is over. The plan to
follow up the invasion Of Piedmont by rapid march
10 Turin bafffed by the unexpected arrival o e
the French, and the rising OF the rivers, while the
low country artifcially Inundated by the cut
ting of the dikes The Austrans, with their tradi-
tional sowness lost all the advantage of being the
first in the field. and seemed to forget that the snow
meits every year in Spring the Alps and increases
the body OF the waters. They now fast retiring.
They Eage given up the line of the Sesia aud will
scarcely await the French within the boundaries Of
Piedmont. Francis Joseph, who, in the first in
stance snubbed Baron Hess for his cautious plan OF
campaign, which was 10 remain around Piacenza
and to accept the battle under the cannonS of the
fortress, has lost his confidence in the da-
ring plan of Gyula and will, in 0 few days, set out
with Baron Hess TO supersede Gyniai in the COM
mand. The continuous rain and the retrograde
movements have considerably damped the military
ardor of the young Austrian officers, who thought
they might within few days destroy the Sardinian
forces anil occupy and plunder Turin. The halo
which surrounded Radetzky's army viii soon be
dimmed, which was artificial from the very first
and especially manufactured by the German journ-
ais. Napoleon has taken the command, ane il hail.

lost. With such heavy stakes, we stall sooa hear
of a great pitched battle, probably within week.
Still, from her evasiye expanation, we may infer
that she has bound herself watch Austria and 70
keep Prussia in awe 10 case she should espeuse the
cause OF Austria The Czar is OF prepared fer
great war, but be may easily, by hosti!e Eeutrality
psrayze an Austrian army and the Teutonic enthu-
Sasm of Germany. His first and principal object is
the emancipation Of the seris which has already
progressed 80 far that it cannot be postponed any
longer without endangering the public peace.
AS regards England, said lately by very
influential man, Lord Derby is at least fer in-
teryention Prince Albert for in tervention in favor
OF Austria; and Lord PalmeTston for Intervention i'm
favor of France. The elections gave good op-
portuuity to the bornughs and counties for express
sing their wishes for complete non-nteryentior and
honest neutrality. As to internal affairs, tie Con-
serTatives have gained about twenty Seats and are
still III minority of about sixty votes In full Par
Lament. Stiil, they have consolidated their party
by stupendous bribery. Lord Derby subscribed
10000 Tor the election, the Duke OF Northumber-
land 125 600, each OF the three peers 4l0 000,
and some 430 900 more furnished ly the 9TH
er members of the Carlton Club, 1t is, however, a
great question whether the Liberals win be able to
defeat the Ministry, which clings to office, and
not be ousted but by vote of want of confidence.
Now the Liberals not united; the Radicals hate
Lord Paimerston still more than they hate Lori.
Derby. and the split between Lord John Russell
and Lord Palmerston is not YET healed.
We hear from Turkey that the agitation in Bosnia
snd Bulgaria is onrhe increase, and an outbreak
may soon be expected. Tha Sultan has increased
his army by additional 10000 men along the
Danube; but he has good officers. Omer Pasha
is jealous OF every rising maD and the stolidity Of
the Turks prevents them from making the proper
use OF the foreign officers in their service.
