The New York Evening Post In an article
on the position of the belligerants, says
Our foreign papers bring no report of bat
ties, but they bring what is quite as impor-
tant-the continued advances of the allies,
and of the great moral and political sncceSs-
es which they have lately achieved. After
the battle of Magenta the Austrians contin-
ued their retreat, evacuating Lodi, Paw, and
even Placenza, which splendid citadel they
blew up, leaving Borgero at the mouth OF
the Tieino pass, an easy conquest to the
troops of Garibaldi The Austrian plans,
indeed, have been so far defeated that they
did not stop at the AIDA, which they cross
ed in quick time, breaking the bridges in
their rear.

Papal State, With an evident design Of
strengthening their positions East of the

have passed the AIDA, aud are in full pur-
suit, another great and perhaps decisive bat
tie is not far off. We remarked in the out
set of this.eonfict, that Austria would likely
be compelled to fight her cause alone, and
every incident of the war thus far has con-
iirmed the prediction. The Italians are

The greatest accession, however, which the
Italian cause has lately received, il will de-
rive from the ministerial change in Eng
land, where Lord Palmerston sslcceeds Earl
Derby. and Lord John Russell takes the seat
OF Earl N3!meshuTy. The event would be
important because of the known proclivities
