THE STIRRING WAR NEWS,

The European war news brought nv the sue
cessively arriving steamers, hcghtens in interest
with such arrival. Thus. the Persia brought in
teligence Of another battle, and another Austrian
defeat strong probability thst Prussia is coming
to the aid Of Austria; overthrow of the British |
Ministry. This news may be considered the |
most I'm portant that has ever reached u.s. since the
war commenced.
The London Spectator of the 10th, which main
tains that il was correct in announcing that
Prince Esterhazy was TO come on an extraoydi
nary mission TO London, publishes in postscript.
the following intelligence from its Paris CORES
pendent:
Thursday Evening" have little fear Of being
contradcted when I state that Prussia has con,
nted TO aid Austria In preserving her possessions
in Lombardy Prussia will uphold the treaties of
1915. with all her power. This news. known to a
few, Is perhaps the secret of the continued decline
| to-day.n
The announcement from Sandman sources that
the Austrdns We're retreating to the AIDA, is now
confirmed by the admission Of their opponents
! The semi-oficial Vienna journal states that the
Austrian army is continuing lis retreat and that at
present its headquarters are at Cavattigozzi in
front of Cremona. Ii is stated by the Vienna cor
| respondent of the London Times, and the state
ment is so probable that its truth may readily be
admitted, that General Gyulai has been removed
| from his command, and that Field Marshal Hess
| has been appointed Commander in Chief of the
| Austrian army In Italy. According to the same
authority, the Austrians will offer the allies battle
on the line OF the AIDA; but 10 remains to be
whether the Austrian general will await his assail-
ants on that stream, or will further retire to the
| Mincfo, his strongest line of defence. The an
nouncement dispatched by telegram from Turin,
| mat the AustrlaBs have evacuated Pavia-upon
| which subsequent telegram cast down by stating
| that they had returned on the following days
now said to be officially confirmed Its correct
ness no longer seems questionable; for the retreat
of the Austrans to the AIDA renders il highly i'm
probable that they would leave troops at Pavia,
place which is not regularly fortified, and which
Is niied win hostile population The Austrian
abandoned the fort, and has been conveyed by the
Austrian steamers to the Swiss end of the Lake
| The plan of campaign attributed to Napoleon
| becomes more and more apparent. and the sudden
| occupation Of Novara by General Niel's troops
| aided considerably In the execution of It The
general was for some time not heard of, and the
| swiss telegraph affirmed that he had marched on
| Aroma, following the route of Garabaldi But
suddenly after the combat of Palestra he turned
on Novara and surprised the Austrians. The
| Emperor was then able to fix his headq uarters at
| Novara while Gen Neil left the place to cross the
| Ticino, and march on Milan if the chance pre-
sented itself, or to cut Off General Urban already
| severely handled by Garbald's troops
Some of Garibaldi's troops are at Camerata after
| performing prodigies of bravery before getting
there. The magnificent military position Of Lecco
Is in their power, and by means of it, they com
warlike populations Of Berganasco and Brescia.
| The moment will soon arrive for occupying the
| gorIes OF the Stelvo and the TonaIe which form
| the communication between the Tyrol and Italy,
and which keep Lombardy in check.
\ private letter from Turin of the eth inst says,
that d Hungarian legion to revolutionize Hungary
| is organizing there. This proceeding has caused
| serious uneasiness to all holding moderate opin-
ions. 1t is feared that NJ. Cavour is no longer
master of the situation, and that the revolutionary
party will create disturbances and confusion as il
did in 1873
Thus the great drama proceeds. When or
where, or what the denouement is to be,-who
can tell,
But for the exciting news from the seat nj WA,
the defeat Of the Derby-D Israeli Government
| would be, indeed IL now is, to some extent, an
| event Of moment The vote in the House of Com
mons (want Of confdence) was carried against the
Government by majority Of ID, in House of 6:s,
the largest division ever known. OF course this
final defeat, after dissolution of Parliament
leaves the Government no option but at once TO
tender their designations 10 Her Majesty; and a
coalition Government will be formed from the
Liberal side of the House, of which Lord Palmer
ston will probably be Premier.
