THE WAR-NO PROGRESS.

Our latest kilograms from the seat of war, re-
ceiyed yesterday by the Asia, extend to the 10Th
inst, precisely three days later than the advces
by the Vanderbilt. These telegrams consist OF the
brief and rather confused bulletins issued by the
Sandman Government, the Austrians publishing
no account of their proceedings. Nothing Of great
Importance has occurred in these three days. The
campaign continues to maintain its preeminence
in the annals of modern warfare for slowness.
We almost seem to be transplanted back to those
antediluyian times of pOmpOus and donothing
warfare, to which Napoleon put such sudden and
decisive end. Here we have two immense armies
opposed to each other OH liue extending over
forty miles, each army capable of acting with from
100000 to lac, 900 men in the feld the one ap-
prOaches the other recOnnOters, feels its way
on this now on that point of the enemys position,
and then draws back, while the other army does
not stir from the ground it occupies; so that
distance varying from eight to twenty miles now
separates the two.
There are some facts to give rational eIplana-
ton to this anomaly; but still anomaly it remains,
aud this in consequence Of the error committed in
the beginning Of the campaign by the attacking
party. As We have already shown, the whole end
and purpose of the Austrian invasion of Piedmont
was foiled by an incidence and in iecision in the
Austrian movements which could scarcely be
ascribed to anything but to the vaclation of Gen.
Gyulai. The reports since received tend fully to
confirm this view. The Austrians offer no explana-
tOns for the strange conduct of their army-a plain
proof that they let the responsibility fall undivided
on the head of the General in.C Chief, Indeed, it
was only after weeks campaigning that the Aus
trian bulletins began to speak of the bad weather
and the inundated state Of the country as the rea-
son which compelled their General to withdraw his
troops from the feyer.stricken rce-swamps of the
Po. And now our wellinformed London CORE
spondent writes us that the Emperor himself, imi-
tatng the example Of Louis Napoleon is going
with Gen. Hess to superseje Gyulai and take the
command.
As far as We can at present Judge, the campaign
appears to have proceeded as follows: In the first
instaLce, the Austrian right wing was pushed for
ward toward Noyara and Vercelli, with demonstra-
tiOns on the Laso Maggore. The center, and
perhaps the left wing marching by Vigeyano and
Pavia in parallel lines, We're left rather behind The
column from Paw, only reached Lomello on the I'd
Of May with its main body. The throwing forward
of the right wing now appears to have had for its
object first, to direct the attention of the Allies BY
threatened attack on the Dora and Turin; and.
secondly to requiston the resources of the
Upper Lomellins for the use Of the Austrian army.
1t was on the Sd of May only that the attack of the
Austrian main body upon the line of Casale and
valenza developed itself; On the 18th, demonstra-
tions were made against FrassinettO Opposite the
Junction of the Sesia and Po) and valenza, while
the right wing was drawn nearer to tie center; at
the same time bridge was thrown across the Po
between Cambio and Sale, aad bridge-head con.
