The New York Post on the War,

The Erening Post. in leading article on
the war news, says:
"The brunt of the war is now at hand.
Austria has been thus far merely driven
from her out posts, and will undoubtedly
concentrate her armies in the districts de-
Tended by what have been considered the
four lmpregnable cltadets of Lignano, Pes
chisra, Verona and Mantua.
Three of these are disposed in triangu-
lar position, and armed with such complete
ness, that they are spoken of as models Of
military and engineering art. They are ex-
pected TO hold out for great length Of time
against any assaulting force that may be
brought against them.
In the revolution of ls4S, the condition
of the Austrians was nearly as desperate as
it is now; nevertheless, Radetzki, support
ing himself upon these fortresses, and ral-
lying from them as the occasion required
reduced Lombardy to subsection once more,
and succeeded in expelling the Sandman
King, Charles Albert, to his own side Of
the Ticino. With eqnal generalship, the
French will find it no easy thing 10 bring
about the end at which they aim-the aban-
donment Of Lombardy by Austria. Tha.
they will be strenuously assisted by the
native population does not, we think, admit
of much doubt. Whether Milan has revol-
ted matters not. 1t will soon revolt, and it
will be followed by other considerable cities
and districts.
Their animosity to the Austrian officials,
on the contrary, has been deepened by events
of the last ten years, and the readiness with
which they have welcomed Garibaldi, as far
as he has penetrated, is an earnest Of what
they are prepared to do as soon a, they shall
have been relieved from the immediate pre-.
ponderance Of the Austrian arms. The in
reference of the German powers in behalf
of Austria, Is rendered less probable by the
decided announcement of Russia brought 10
us by this arrival.
A circular is said 10 have been addressed
by Prince Gortschakof, to the Russian En-
voys at the several German Courts, explic-
lily declaring that Russia will regard any
German interference as a violation of the
treaties of 1915, and consequent disturb.
ance OF the political equilibrium Of Europe,
and, OF course, the inference Is, that in any
such event, the Great Power of the North
will feel at liberty TO draw her sword in the
conflict, and the menace from such quar-
ter, though it may stir the hot blood OF ma.
ny of the Southern Germans, will be duly
considered by their Governments, and es-
pecially by The Government of Prussia, to
which the first step in every question in
volvins the Germanic Confederation is COM
mitted. Every additional day of reflection
must serve 10 convince the Germans that
they have really no defensibe motive for
throwing thems elves in between Austria
and her inevitable destiny. A vague SYM
pathy of race cannot long persist against the
influences of good sense and the clearest
political and material interests. The old
traditional prejudices against the French
engendered by the first Napoleon in 1918
must give way 10 the more enlightened con-
victions produced by altered circumstances
and the new era Of international relations.
The fears of French invasion Of the
Rhine are at this time little better than Chin
erical, and there is no other substantial
ground for the late manifestations of Ger
pan patriotism. As soon, then, as this mag
got Is extracted from the German brain, as
it certainly will be, the liberal parties will
see in the Italian war what the liberal par
ties Of England and America already see
nothing more nor less thaa q war for ma
tional independence. Whatever may be
the personal motives Of the leading party in
it, the public sentiment of Europe will de-
termine that it shall have no other charac.
