ST. JOINS, n. F., May 10, 1854 NJ.
The Steamship adelaide, from Galway, with dates to
the Both ult was boarded this morning off Cape Race
Her advices are three days later.
Her news is more alarming. 1t was officially stated
at Paris that the Ausrans had crossed the Tcno and
commenced hotties but this has been contradcted at
London but it was asserted that the Ticino would be
crossed on the 29tb.
Tuscany joins France and Sardinia and it is reported
that an alliance defensive and offensive has been concu
ded between Denmark and France.
Great warlike preparations going on in England.
Steamers have been chartered to carry troops and
muniton to the Mediterranean. Rumours are a1oat of
forthcoming proclamation to augment the Navy by
the addition of ten thousand men.
1t was expected that sixty thousand Frenchmen would
be in Italy by the Both. The Austrian journals con-
tain the Imperial Proclamation nearly tantamount to
declaration Of war.
