THE AUSTRIAN ARMY
FALLEGGIO, June i7.-ThOse who have not
had experience of war on n great scale can
have no conception of the change il produces
! in the country which il the scene of con ten
ton. The first great feature which strikes the
observer, is the absence OF nil trade and pri-
vate traffic, with the exception of that which
| satisfies the Immediate wants of men Thus
! there is unceasing activity at tayerns and
| wineshops. DsheyelIed walters who have
! not had time to clean themselves, are called
| upon to satisfy fifty customers, all clamorous

| 4 feeble "Stuiito' from the wretched men who
scarcely know whom to attend TO. Beyond
! THIS, and an occasional mob at a bakers green
| grocers, butchers, or tobacconist's there are
| no signs of commercial life. The second great
| feature Is that there are soldiers everywhere
! hurrying to and fro, singly or in pairs they
| go unarmed, or in GetachmeQts, rs they are
/ sent on some urgent duty.
! There are soldiers in the streets, soldiers in
| the lanes, IN the squares; in the houses you
| can see them lounging ont of all the windows
| Ammunition heavily hp
| the ciauk of sabres is more heard than any
| other sound. There is a theatre in Verona,
/ butit is full of soldiers. They lie in the pit
| and IN the boxes, and fill the stage. 1t is a
| theatre where there is public and all are
actors There is we'll known Roman amphi-
theatre in Verona. II IL one of the lions of the
place. and went to see it. had not much
| leisure TO examine its beauties. The arena
! was hl!ed by party of lancers. many of
! whom lounged on the stone steps. others in
/ and out OF the various passages, while in the
! vaults beneath were securely and coolly hous-
! cd some hundreds of horses. Outside of Ve-

! equally visible Anxious to proceed as rapid

the exorbitant sum of Fl los. to TiIlafranca.-
Prom Fillafranca another cart eq uaily un-

me TO Valleggio, where further progress was
| stopped by the crowded state of the streets.
/ II for this reason cannot give you any au-
thentic accounts of the movements recently, l
| can say something of the state Of the troops,
| which have seen in motion in numbers suffi
| GENTLY large to justify me in giving an opin-
