retire iDgloriously from the PiedmoDtese terri

fought. The Franco ltasns await the Austrians
both on the Dora Baltea, and on the line Of
communication between Aiessandria and Genoa;
and the plain Of Marengo may once more see
| the fate Of Austria decided.
The two Emperors Of Austria and France
have both published their appeals to their peo-
pie and to the world. Francis Joseph declares
himself the champion of order, ready to war
against revolution, fomented as it now il from
the thrones, while Napoleon disclaims ambitious
desires for conquest, and throws his sword into
| the scale Of Italian independence, clearly avow-
ing that his object is TO drive the Austriars out
| OF the Peninsula.
The advantage until now is on his side, and If
he remains on this path which ne traces for the
policy Of France, il vii. be the first great re-
deeming feature in his career. His popularity
in Italy and France. is unbounded, in spite Of
the opposition Of the Orleanist and Legtinliss,
moneyed and literary world. An intelligent and
impartial English friend Of mine, no admrer Of
Napoleon, who arrived yesterday from France,
tells me that the change in the feelings OF the
people is prodigious. Every peasant sees al
ready his "conscript" kinsman returning an Off
Ger, with the Legion d'Honneur on his breast,
raising the family from its former obscurty,
while the Republicans admit that the Emperors .
policy is now for once just and generous, 49,
Should he remain tue to his proclamation, il
would be great step toward the reconciliation
Of Liberal France. Nobody can guess his fur
ther plans, but he tries to surround himself with
men OF liberal opinions, and arouses hopes of =
better future.
Prussia arms, but tte Prince Regent is nyerse
to giving support to Austria. He points to the
47th section OF the Vienna treaties about the
German Federation, which runs as follows: III
| anv Federal State, pOssessi 6 likewise provinces
not included in the terri .ory Of the federation,
should begin war in it's character Of European
power, such a war, not involving the relations
and duties Of the federation, will remain foreign
to the federation" Thus, when Holland was
attacked by the insurgent Belgians, Germany
remained neutral. through the Duchy OF Lux

! turbed by the events of the Belgian war Of in
! dependence.
The Gar encourages these pacific views OF
his uncle, with whom he is soon to have an in
| terview either at Warsaw or AZ Mislovice, the
| frontier town OF Prussia. Southern Germany,
| however, is raving against Napoleon, and in her
sudden sympathy Tor Austria swallows even
| the Concordat. The Wurtemburg Diet has re-
jected the proposition for calling together the
German Parliament at Frankfort, and insists
upon defiant attitude toward France.
| The Southern Germans have no sympathy
with Italian independence. Oppressed by theiI
1 Princes, they are proud OF Austria, on the
ground that she maintains the supremacy Of the
German nation. by imposing her hateful yoke
on Lombards, venelians. Hung .rians and Scla.
vonians. But some OF the Liberal leaders DIS
sent from these views. Carl Vogt, the eminent
/ ply soloest, and late member OF the Frankfort
Parliament, writes IN q letter, which l an

support given by Germany to that 'Capua o
