BALTIMORE, May %.
The Paris correspondent of the Tunes says
The French are taking great care that the
movements of the French and Sardinians
should be kept quiet. In regard to army move
ments. the opinion prevails now at PARIS. that
the first battle will be great one but wheth-
er 1t will take place in front of Al ssandria.
or higher up, is a matter of conjecture. ALI
the news from the STAT of war. and the French
Government is already publishing official
bulletins here. points to the concentration of
the Austrians forces into one principal body.
and this body. with detach bodies acting as
divisions, is slowly advancing in the direction
OF Aiessandria. 1t would be incredible that
the Austrians should again seek the battle
Held OF MareDgo for a grand battle with the
French. and yet they appear to be marching
upon Alessandrla in that direction. 1t is
generally coniectured that the Austrian plan
of the campaign has been changed. They
had promised their soldiers the plumber OF
the city of Turin. Deserters uniformly as
sert the fact, bat the speedy arrival of the
French destroyed this plan, and convinced
them of the necessity of adopting some other
tactics. The loss of time has been to them
deplOrable, and there is reason to believe that
great indecision reigned in the Austrian camp
for several days.
The march of General Gyulai into Pied
mont, and his marchings and counter-maFch-
ings in the twenty-five miles Ofspace between
the Ticino and his advanced posts, seem to
have had no other design than that OF
plumber.
The opinion generally promulgated in En-
rope before the war, that Austria would he
obliged to commence hostilities in spite of
the Congress. in order to give its army some
thing to eat, is now doubly confirmed. The
whole country has been despoiled by such
rate of exOrbitant and cruel exacIions, as
would disgrace the barbarous ages OF war
fare in certain localities. 1t is said that all
men between 81 and As years of age, have
been enrolled by force IN the Austrian army,
and sent back to the Russian frontier of Aus
tria, where escape is impossible.
The exactions in money and rations are so
enormous on each village or town occupied,
that if the Austrian occupation were TO cease
to-day, the country would require a genera
ton to recover from its prostration. The
King, Victor Emanuel. deeply grieved at the
suffering of his subjects, has sent a protest
to Count Gyulai, not as King, but as Com
mander-in-Chief of the Sandman forces, de-
string to know how the Austrian army in
tends to make war-whether as soldiers or as
brigands. 1t would seem. in fact, from pres
ent indications, that Austria only invaded
Piedmont in order to replenish her army
stores, and then to fall back under the pro-
lection of the stronghOlds of Lombardy.
No American or other foreign officers will
be allowed to enter French service. 1t has
also been announced that not a single news
paper correspondent will be permitted to en-
ter the allied camps. By exception, NJ. Emile
Augire, member of the French Academy.
has obtained permission to join the prince
Napoleon, but not by any means in the ca
pacity of journalist. The Emperor will
take with him, to be placed under the charge
of Marshal Valiant, printing service from
government Office which will furnish the
Bulletins which it is deemed proper to give
to the public.
