AUGUSTA, May 90.
Cotton.-A partial panic prevails at present in
the cotton trade, in consequence of the doubtful
extent and duration of the difficulties between
Austria and Snrdnia and France. Those Difficult
ties havo caused d serious decline in the public
funds Of those countries. incidentally affected the
value of the consolidated funds Of England, and un-
settled financial confidence throughout Europe.
Such condition of affairs materially interferes
with commercial prosperity, and the cotton trade
is the first to feel its blghting influence. At Lir-
erpoo cotton has declined from its highest point,
about A@4d., (equal to about one and half cents
Of our currcncy,) while in this country cotton has
declined fully two cents on some grades, and from
two to three cents on other grades. 1t appears,
then, in the United States that the apprehended
injury to the value of cotton has been fully dis
counted, if the decline here does not have the ef-
feet Of causing still greater decline in Liverpool.
In this market, to-day, cotton may be regarded
as irregular in price, and in unsettled condition.
We hear Of lots chasing Middling offered at lOi

Proclamation Of the King of Sardinia.

The following proclamation has been ad-
dressed by Victor Emmanuel to his troops
Soldiers Austria, who is increasing her
armies on our frontier aud threatens to invade
our territory because here liberty reigns with
orier-because, not might, but concord and
affection between the people and the Sover-
fign here govern the State-because the
hroans Of oppressed Italy here find an echo
Austria dares to ask us, who are only arm
I'd in self-defense, to lay down our arms and
submit to her clemency.
"That insulting demand received the reply
it deserved. I rejected it with contempt.
Soldiers, tell it to you, convinced that you
will take all insult to your King and your
nation as an insult to yourselves. The an.
nouncement I make to you is the announce
ment Of war! Soldiers, to arms!
"You will have to face an enemy not new
to you. But if brave and disciplined you
need not fear the comparison, and you may
quote with pride the battles Of Gotto, Pas
trenga, Santa Lucia, Somma- Compagna, and
even Custozza, where four brigades alone
struggled for three days against five corps
d'armee.
Il will lead you. We have made each
others acquaintance before this, on more than
one occasion, in the heat of battles, when,
fighting by the side of my magnanimous
father, I had opportunity to admire your
courage.
81 am sure that on the field of honor and
of glory you will maintain, even add to, your
reputation for bravery. You will have for
companions those intrepid soldiers of France,
conqueiors in so many noted battles, who
were your brethren in arms on tho Tchernaya,
and whom Napoleon ILL.,, who is always to
be found where there is just cause to defend
or civilization to promote, sends generously
to our assistance in numerous battalions.
"March, then, confident in victory, and
twine new laurels round your flag, that tri-
color, under the folds of which the elite of
the youth of Italy is collected, and which in
dicates to you that the task before you is the
independence of Iuly-that Just aud holy
work which will be your battle-cry.

Turin, April q.
In addition to the proclamation addressed
to the army, the King of Sardinia has issued
. proclamation, countenigned by Count Ca
YOUR, to Italy. The substance is as follows.
"Austria, who boasts of her love for peace,
attacks US by refusing to submit to Euro

made to England; she asks US to reduce our
army, and to abandon those brave volunteers
who have thronged from every part of Italy
