[London (May 23) correspondence of Manchester Guardian. } Though the news of “first blood’’ at Montebello for the moment concentrates newspaper interest ou the right wing of the allied armies, Ican see that the real concern of those who take a deeper and wider view of ‘tne situa- Vion” than is possible for the general pubiic is rather wiih the state of affairs on the Rbine than the movements of the armies in Piedmont. Still, with regard to the eacoun ter at Montebello, it may be worth while to mention that the (ficial Austrian accounts substantially contirm those publisped by the allies, with the exception of the estimate of loss. They pat this as about equal on either part. ibe French accounts give a logs of 600 on their sido sguinst one of 2,000 on the part of Austria The Austrian account, moreover, precisely bears out the conjecture put forward jn your leading article of tus morning. It represents the Austrian movement as a revoanaisance in force from Strade The troova it are said to have encountered the superior force at Montebello, ena to baye re- tired, after an obstinate engagement, with about equal loss on both gides, I anticipate news of a farther movement of the allies in the ueigdborhood of Stradeila, io prosecution of their supposed desigts upon Piacenza; and perbaps of a general aciton between the curps d’armée of Count Station end General Baraguay d’ lliers.

F. CHIALDINL STRENGTH OF THE FRENCH ARMY. Tt is said the French force in Italy is to be increased to 150,000 men. The number of French troope, who, up to the 14th of May crossed Mont Cenis is stated to nave been 60,550, pamely:— ‘Twenty regiments of the line, making 48,000 men. Five battalions of riflemen, 4,000. Twelve batteries of artillery, 2,400 men, 2,169 horges, and 72 guns. Twenty-seven equadrons of cavalry, 4,050 men and as many borecs. Four companies of commissariat, 600 men. Four squadrons of gendarmerie, four complementary companies of infantry, seven companies of engineers, 1,050 men. On the 16th the march of troops was still continuing, and 20,080 others altogether were to pass. From Briangon 16,000 men have been directed on Sasa; the treasury of the army and a depot of 4,000 men were collected there. ‘A letter from Genoa, of the 17th ultimo, states that troops continue to arrive from France and Aigeria. The Chas- seuss d'Afrique arrived there a few daye previously, and the Cent Gardes on the 16th: 20,000 or 30,600 troops are sull expected there. Fifty millions of france in specie have just been sent to the heacquarters in Italy by the French Minister of Fi- nance. People have but little idea, says the Pays, of the cost of transporting the materiel of the army from one place w apother. ‘To give one instance among a thousand, it re quires 300 horses to remove a million of cartridges. We bave already sent ten milliovs to Italy. Three thousand horses, therefore, bave been put into requisition for this simple service alone.

Indeed, the treaty of Vienna has been violated more thap opee, end violated ‘or the exclative benedt of austria herself, witueut giving rise to war. Che protest of Eng and and France againe; the aoncxstion of the inde- pencent State of Cracow to Auetria, was simoly atare- garded by Austria, Procsia auo Rossia m 1846. 10 no one case in which the treaty of Vienoa bas been iafrioged bes itever yet been supposed that ime parties to tat treaty were in apy way callett upou to guarantee its ob- ance, The infraction of the contract by any one party has no donbdt been commitied its own riek, and with the clear knowledge that its act got involve 1t ia war.

They bad & right to com- piaip if they thought Ot. They were in no way bound: to complain, much ices to support their complaint by any display of force When once we had protested against the violation of the treaty of Vienna ss between Austria and Sardinia and France—wnich we did when we pro- tested against the Austrian ultimetum—it was certainly neither pecetrary nor wise to euter any protest in favor of the broken arrangement on its own merite. The de- claration of war was a measure we did right in trying to avert, but simply because a pacific arrangement was all- important, not because the oid arrangement was in itself good, The peace once brokea, the oid guarantees recog- nized by both France and Austria once removed, it would be not only as easy, but far casier and wiser, to use all our fluence, whenever we may bave any, to obtain bet- ter and more solia guarantees, instead of cadeavoring to lestore the crazy old fabric which has broken gown. It would be far from desirable, if it were ible, to return to the Italian arrangements of i815. Tne present Chancelior of the Exchequer should pe the Girst person to recognise this. His Inteat potitical bias is of very. modern Gate. In criticising, in ove of bis cleverest works, the dip'omacy of Lord Castleresgh at Vienna, be ays thas tne Dake of Wellington’s exploits, and ‘‘suropean eveucs even greater than his achievements, piaced ia the mannikia grasp of the English ministry ‘the settlement of Earope ‘The act of the Congress of Vienna remaios the eternal monvment of their diplomatic knowledge and political ea. gacity. Their capital feats were the creation of two kingdoms, both of which are alrendy erased from the p of Evrope. They made no eingle preparation for the inevitable, aimort impending covjunctures of the East. Altthat remains of the pragmatic arrangements of the mighty Congress of Vienna is the mediatisation of the petty Gertnan princes” Yet it is this wretched arrange- ment, proiitic of wars and ramors of wars ag it bas been, whicb, though already broken down as between France and Austria, the present Eogiien ministry are disposed by the use of their influence to doster up, and If possibie to restore.” Prussia, if we mey believe the most recent ACCOULES, is Retting US an exatOple We enoUld do well tofol- low.
