If their maintaining themselves IN Italy, or re-

1t does not seem that the same success which
attends the efforts Of the PIedmontese army
Crowns the activity Of that department in Turn,
Which In importance stands next to the active
army in The 6eld-the War Department. IL has
lately hecame the object of grave charges not ouy
of weakness and inability, but of downright iwiii
against the war, ard Of bad faith in carrying out

plants is, that the newly -hbersted aud annexed
provinces Of Lombardy Farms AMI Modena, are
now brought to contribute their prop0fticnate
share of men toward the war, In Parma and
Mod na here the ocular troops OF the late rulers
bave joined the AustIians, 10 new levy whatever
is called out; the new levy made IN Lombrrdy Is
at the patry rate of one recruit to 500 inhabitants,
which VIII just yield 1900 men; and even the
bureaucraiicol proce' dings which are pre-
scrbed for this levy are 81 complicated
that the new recruits VIII not commence
drilling before October. Piedmont bad so, 900 men
under arms, when the war broke out, sni
Dave. clothes and arms besides, shout $4,000
volunteers who fight under her banners. The cat
egories of 1884 l-5 aud 1886, amounting to q, Oo0
me are drilling now aid will be- aole to take the
field in a fortnight, and the category OF l-31,
amounting to 5000 men, have already received
orders to make themselves ready for drilling by the
18th of this month. This brings the forces of Pied
mont to 10000 men, while Tuscany has only
IL 600 regulars in the field, ard the other States
almost nothing at all. The formation of volunteer
corps, which was the only general messure adopted
for those provinces by the War Department, Is one
Lot likely 10 be of much lasting benefit, rs the vol
unteers are exclusively the contingent OF the edu-
Gated population of the towns and cities, as the
peasantry keep entirely slo"t from the national
movement and look at II with that stolld lndifer-
euce which arises from their ignorance and depeni-
en position. Taking into account the =, OOO vol
un,eers which have already joined the Italian army,
there is reason u fear that this precsrlous source
of soldiers viii, before very long, be dried up,
and hardly be sufficient t. supply ths losses
which accrue 10 the army during toe
course of the war. And, in fact, as far
as ny means of information reach, OILY IN
Lombardy ard Romagna does the enlistment oil vol
unteers exhibit anything Ike hoPridl results
Parma has furnished two battaiOns al riiiemel,

out the 0mnipotent influence of Count Cayour, there
would not b- even volunteers. Since Gen. Lamar
