seized the brother of NJ. Noe, who has the Ill
rcction of the reservoirs Of Satirana, and wrote
to the latter that if he wished to save the life
OF his brother he must put an end to the mum
dation. The sole reply n. Noe sent was to
double the quantity Of water let loose, so that
many Austrians who had advanced in the hope
that for four and twenty hours at least they
would not be impcded by foundations. found
themselves with water up to their waists. 1t

AUSTRIAN IArACITr.
The Austrians are doing all the mischief they
can. At Novara they demanded 100000 II,
tons. Their acquisitions have been enormous
throughout the country. In the towns, villa
ges and hamlets they threatened to arrest the
authorities if the provisions and cattle demand
ed were not supplied within four or five hours.
In one place they arrested and carried oil Il
mayor, who was not able to give them all the
forage they required. Garibaldi attacks the
enemy whenever he finds an opportunity, and
lately carried his pursuit into the very streets
ofYcrcelli. lie has brought in rs many As three
hundred prisoners.
The Austrian papers say that as the Austrian
troops march through Piedmont, the peasants
come out to meet them and offer them provisions
and assistance, for which they are paid!

ATTITUDE or AfrAil:S At ROME.
The Turin correspondent of the London
'Times" writes: | have this minute opened 4
letter from Rome, anu my correspondent tells
me that the Pope has sent all the political
prisoners to Ancona. His Holiness is both
grieved and irritated at all that is going on in
italy, nor can he be callned by all the assurances
that the Emperor of the French gives him.
The Duke Of Grammont has. however, obtained
from his Holiness his word Of honor that he
will not attempt to escape from Rome, and in
return, the French government has guaranteed
tranquility and order in the Eternal City. In
the provinces the case is different, and the peo-
pie may be said to he pretty much their "
masters; as for the native troops, they are
breaking up by dcScrtion. and many leave to
take service under the Piedmontese colors.-
The Pope asked Spain not long ago to send
troops to the Romagna to replace the Germans
and French. But the government OF Madrid
requested TO be excused, and diSapprovcd the
project.
TIE WAR AND TnE DEMAND FOR EREADSTrrr>.
The Economist" abiding to the rapid rise in
the price of breadstufs, owing to the war,
speculatcs as follows upon the probable demand
upon this country for a supply:
Among so, 900, 900 Of people. the taking Of
COO, 900 men. that is one out Of 1870, more or
less. from ordinary occupations, will have but
little influence upon production, and no more
upon consumption than will be caused by waste.
What they actually cat as soldiers Is less than
wha, they get at home. \ large portion of
these are oilers from the cities, and in Europe
the labor of agriculture is customarily per-
formed by females. No conscript is taken
where his labor is necessary to his family
The mere movement of the men is of no roIn-
mcrcial Importance. Where their operations
extend over a large agricultural surface, they
however, destroy and prevent agriculture, and
in 50 far cause a demand from other quarters.
If this is confined to Northern Italy, while all
the ordinary sources of supply are undisturb-
cd, the commercial effect Of the war will hard
" be felt. There never was 4 more propitiouS
moment for war than now, since crops of all
sorts in Europe are very abundant, capital
and money abundant and cheap, and enter
prise not recovered from the panic of ISIS.
