AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.

The last Steamer from Europe brings no
yery important news. but many particulars
of the position and movements Of the bcllig-
Grants, which we have not room to quote.
The French Emperor has fixed his head
quarters at Alcssandria, Prince Napoleon
is at Genoa, to organize his corps d'armcc
which is coming from Africa.
The journalists say that it is difficult to
get exact information on great many mat
ters pertaining to the war. Generals are
not in the way OF proclaiming to the world
their plans and their means Of cilccting them.
The London Ncrs says that it is clear that
the Austrians have withdrawn to the left
bank of the Scsia. and are Certifying it. The
district between Vigevano and the Pc appears
to be unoccupicd, though an imposing force of
troops is collecting near Stradella In this
all the accounts concur. rs to the Austri-
an designs opinions differ. According to
some, General Gyulai intends to accept bat
tie on the right bank of the Ticino: accord
ing to others, the Austrians desire only to
live on the enemy's country; and do as much
damage as possible. They are also indie
fatgable in making reconnaissance in every
direction and are acting with extreme eau
ton Everything indicates that the Austrl-
ans are awaiting an attack, instead of hast
ening one on. The revolt Of Tuscany, and
the prospect of French forces being landed
on the west shore of the Alriatic makes it
necessary for the Austrins tolook to the safety
of their left flank. y French squadron was
before Venice on the 10th. The slowness of
the Austrians' movements is imputed by the
Paris Press to their being all planned at
Vienna. The Emperor Of Austria was ex-
pected to leave Vienna soon for Italy.
The Marseilles correspondent of the Lon
don Times of May |, says that the French
force in Northern Italy is about 10000 in
hntry, s 900 cavalry and 50 guns. The Liv-
erpool Post says that the Turin correspond
ent of the Telegraph states, on authority,
that the Austrans have not more than 1870,
600 men under arms, and that the allies
have 900 900, with additional French soldiers
arriving every day. Probably it is within
the mark to say that 800 600 men are now
in arms on Italian soil, and not very far from
each other \ bloody action can hardly be
DELAYED long.
\ Lombario-V enctian loan of - ,000 0C
has been called for by Austria. The SUBJ
scriptions for the French loan OF 500 600, 000
francs, were above four times the amount re
quired.
The Provisional government Of Tuscany
by proclamation, May |. resigned its au-
thority to the commissioner of the King of
Sardinia Tho commissioner made proclaim
alton that the government shoald be admin
stered solely for the preservation of order
and the Advancement of the objects Of the
war in which both Sardinia and Tuscany
were engaged. and that as soon as that wal
should be ended the government would he
restored in good faith to the Tuscans
Official bulletins issued at Turin, May lott

drawn from Ncghera to Casteggio, and tina
the bridge Of Stella had been threatened by
the Austrians. The waters of the Pc hat
