TACTICS OF THE AUSTRIAN GENERALS IN
ITALY.
From the London Globe, May IL
The movements OF the Austrian army grow every day
more pazzpg. The extension OF their right in force TO
romano, SAntba, Bella San Germano, with powerful
Frassnetto Voehera and rorona. seemed to indicate
combined movement upon the lines of the Dora Baea
the official reports published in the Piedmonese capital
the Ausriara had actually retired from all their positions
on the right bank OF the sesa including even verce
butioDs OF forage behind them. Again. on Monday,
strong column occupied Stroppano the road Trino
but hastily withdrew yesterday morning.
Ali this looks like vaclstion indecision, want of pan
but no one who g at all with the endless sra

mar 1uvre their opponents 1t s most probable they would
have adopted The very course they have pursued well
Informed correspondent says that this crossing the Pc

OF seres OF receptions. We cannot gay that any
strong ground for believing that if the Ausrans have
entertained such design they will succeed. Stnl the
only mode whereby they hope to reach Turin seems

From the Liverpool Post, May 1871
"Twelve O'Clock Ell Kmurry fair and row yet,', was
the regreuu exclamation Of an 1rishman In the days OF
hcton lights in the sister country and putting aside the
days the hostile armies in Piedmont have been drawn up
IN battle array and TO this hour there has con-

still upon the defensive withdraw towards Pavia their
basis OF operations at this moment. Upon the Upper
Stsa, on the contrary they mediate probably attack
Il appears certain that the Emperor Francis Joseph has
ordered blow to be struck against Tarin mater at
what cost They iortfy themselves consequently upon
the Sesia near the bridge of Vercel compel the in
habiants to work at the defences urging them on with
bows At the same tme the troops which were at
Verce have Get out for Gattinara and have been re
placed by other soldiers. These movements may have
two senfcatons either the Ausians fear an irrupton
OF the Pedmontese into Lombardy they themselves
wish to turn the Dora Baea and descend by Bella Apla
and vrea upon Turin. The Piedmontese think the latter
Generals Caldiai and Garibaldi have pushed recon.

near the Dora Bata Tor the purpose of covering Turin
But the intentions of the Anstrans on the Sard
territory are still puzzle. The Turin correspondent OF
the 1soph staes authority that the Ausrans have
not more than 900 men under arms and that the
allies have 100000 with additional French soldiers ar.
irving every day. and adds that sthe King s terribly

Aurians and he is according to all accounts eager

aspect of affairs for good evil. His Imperial Majesty
arrived at Genoa shortly after two O'Clock yesterday af

There are not wanting people who prophecy that the

tons for peace others interpret their strategic move
nents into feint 10 draw the Pedmontese ana French
towards them upon the banks of the Tciuo where they
think they will be In better position to accept battle
The London Times gives another reading, and does
think battle imminent on the ground that putting aside
considerations of the weather. the French probably
unprepared to do than defend their positions; that
districts they now hold and that the invasion of Piedmont
may end with hardly blow being struck on either side
showing that even the Pedmontese affair were thus
abruptly terminated, there has been blazs kindled in
Europe net easy Of extineuishment.
RUSSIAN OPINION OF THE AUSTRIAN TAG.
TICS IN PIEDMONT.
from the Invaide Russe Military Organ of the Czar)
Austria evidently expected that the French could not
arrive 60 promptly to the assistance Of the Piedmonese
time to dispense them but the calculation of the Austrian
general was erroneous. The greater part of the Pied
montese army shut itself In the fortress Of Aessanda
previous to the arrival q the French q. Turin
and Genoa We are inclined to believe that the
other calculations m ade by the Austrans will
rot he more successful. History alone disclose 10 us the
diplomatic secrets which preceded The present inpcsio of
Piedmont by Aid and the dudacious resolution of The
famous ultnatus At present il would be idle to endea
vor to dscover the real motive of the nfatuaon and
sumption OF the Vienna Cabinet which rushed head fore
most into such rash undertaking without having secured
the alliance Of some Power of at one great Power
