Something like a hope was entertained by those who have a passion for ovincidences that the 18th of Jano— ille dies nefastus of the first Empiro—would bave been restored to the French calendar by a vic- tory bardly less memorable than the former defeat. I believe some are inclined to murmur that those sires to whom Napoleon aliuced in a recent proclamation as Jooking down from Beaven with approving smiles on their rons, were somewhat remiss for not baving arranged with the fates @ more sppropriate disposition of the victories now ready to be shownxod on tho arme of France. The Emperor is at Brescia, with the King of Sardinia. They were welcomed wiii enthusiasm, The Emperor slept on the 17th at Covo, 4ve miies from Brescia, He cheplays prodigious activity, and notwithstanding the fa- pues of command his healto is excellent. He sees to everything with his own eyes. On the 14th, wt Treviglio, be even superintended personally the filing off of the baggage of the army. The sanilary condition of the sol- diors is eaid to be pertect. Iteppears that a certain number of Bologaese waited vpon the Emperor to exprees their desire of being united to Sardinia, and recelved in return a pretty considerablo ‘nub, “Return vo your country, gentlemen,’ is said to ne his Mejesty’s anewer; “obey your sovereign, and know that Tam pot come to Italy to lessen his power, but to cause it to be respacted.”” Notwithstandiog this, there is & rumor that the defection in the Roman States is more and more on tho increase; and thet the cities and towns on the right bask of the Tiber haye pronounced for a union with Sardipia, In public securities a general firmness is remarked a the five great Europcan capitals. Each of these bad; doubtless, motives peculiar, At Paris it is faith in the vational arms ; at London, it is the advent of Lord Pal- merston to more assured neutrality ; at Berlin, where the Srrouess is jess solid, it is a loan and tho mobilization which interferes ; but Vienna looks well on ’Change, Souptiess ob aceount of the hopes it has formed of Prus- flan pene HH pore Petersburg believes it hag reaton to bold up its while contemplating the many Giscowfivvres of Austria. The government journals lose no opportunity of pooh- peohing the Prussisn mopilization, Itjis well known that 1v Prussia every one is a soliter up to the age of forty ; and when one Considers that the calfing upon all men of thin age is to tear from their homes so many fathers of fa- miles, we may imagine that the political necessity must be agreatone. The landwebr and the reserve are com- poeed of married men, and their families, who for the most part rely on them for support, will be reduced to ereat distress by the mobilization. ‘The State, it 1s trae, affords a€sistance to'the necessitous families of those men who are saked out, but that aid ie qaite inadequate to ‘heir support. To this may be added that the harvest in fast approaching, and hands will be wanting for ee cultural pur ; From the moment that the mobiliza- tion bas taken piace all business ix at an end; the towns aod villages are emptied, the tribunals, workshops, rail- ways and administrations of all kinds are ob! to give up to the army their moet able hands; there remains women, chij¢ren aad old men. The idea iately put forward by some of the German Journals that the Mincio ought to be considered = second dounsary for Austria, and that however unceremontously ‘be Franco Piedsoontese troops might cross the Ticino or the Adda for the purpose of driving back the Austrians, the Mincio should be treated with respect and not passed without the permission of the German Confederation, is ‘avghed to utter scorn by the liberal party here. Accord- ing to this new theory, they say, Italy, as far as the Mincto, suould. be perfectiy Talia, bat beyond that line entirely German, most inveterate enemies of Italy could not, reason otberwise. What! Peschiera, Legnano, Mantua, Verona and Venice, by the omnipotence of these hostile statesmen, would unexpectediy become the seesions Of the Confederation. “We would iM ingaren ‘heir organ, the Siecle, “why they stop at incio rather than at the Serio, the Oglio, the Adda or the Ti- ino? Since they must have a river boundary, the Ticino might surely have auswered their Cm ee as it was indicated by the odious treaties of 1815?

Isis not for us to dista‘e to Prusris the line of policy she shoula follow; but we may fey thet our faith remains onehsken jp all that wo have hitherto ed—namely, that Prossia hag not tho least intention of guaranteeing the Austrian possessions ia Italy, and thet in that res; she is in perfect accord with Fog!and and Russia. Mine of the Mincio, which the German partisans of Austria now se strenuously de- fend, cannot be a reazon for Prussia to brivg her army into the field, nor can it be said thet this question invoives either the honor or tue toterests of Germany. Car honor and interests wil rot cali us into tie field unioas the victwo- rious Franco Sardinian army should the limits woere mm | ceases, or France should show her determination to hoid Itay by right of conqnest., Itis for that Prussia mobilizes her army, and not to say to France, as we con- stantly bear repeated, ‘(As far as the Mincio you may go, but no further.”” hn om. Prussian Gazotte.} It is unnecessary to direct attention to the efforts mado by the Prussian governmeot to prevent the war which bas burst out in Italy. When all these efforts failed tae government declared, on May 4, to the two Cham ders, ‘tha: the mireion of Prursia consisted In acting with a view to the re-establishment of peace, ae she had previourly doas for the purpose of maintaining it; that she could not hence forward dispense with assumiby an armed position to sup. port her ofpiomatic action.” ‘Tue reply of the Parliamen ‘was the complete approbation of the policy followed up to that time by that governmect, and the unanimous yote in the swo Chambers of the sums necessary for the movii- zation; and the Parhawent entrusted, with the greatest confidence, to the judgment of the bigh personage direct- ing the dostinies of Prussia, the choice of the moment a which that country should tatervene ia favor of peace. Not a elvels voice in the Prussian Chamber recommended the gevernment to observe an absojute neutrality; r: voice was raised to demand that Prossia should i for the moment when the federal obiigstion ani the lewer of federal treaties should callfor her action, or rather should impoee it on her. Lach momber of the Chamher felt thut Prussia could not renounce giving her vote as an independent Power, in her own name and for the interests of Germany, in the council of the European Powere. Since the foundation of the public law which now exists in Ea Tope, the great Powers have considered any international conflict a8 the object of their common solicitude. Prussia would exciudo herself from her rank a8 = great Power if she were to renounce her part in the settlement of the effairs of Italy. In the present phase of the Italian ques: tion, every day may bring about events woich must not find Prussia disarmed. If England and Russiaare activeiy arming, how much more necessary is it for Prussia to do eo? Atthe moment whes the war in Italy threatens to take aturn very serious for the principles which govern public bear Meee law and for the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe, the Prosman government could not ab- stain from thinking that the moment had arrived to inter- fere for the re-establishment of peace. The policy Prussia will not contradict in any of the measures which may become necessary hereafter the characier it has borne since the commencement of the Italian complica- tion, Tne direction which Prussia follows in her in- ternal public life forms a sufficiemt guarantee external tendencies. And if Prussia has written on ber =e the principle of the maintenance of the bases of public a law she will have of move sbe does not oppression or violence.

On tas dey mentioned Baron Weriuer was closeted with the Aus trian Minieter tor more than two hours, and it does not acmit of a coubt that matters of high importauce were discussed during the projonged interview.

A\ the atiention of the public muet soon be forcibly directed to tbe ro called Mincto Ine, some information concerning it will row be given. The Mincio, which flows from the di Garda to Mantua, is at times a river of considerable size aud depth, bet in summer it is ofen go shallow that it can oe waded throngh witbout difficulty. There are bri acrors the Mincio at Pesch‘era, Borghe'to, Goito, Rivalta and Mantua, the distance between the first named piace, which lies on the Garda Lake, and Mantua boing about sixteen English mites, The distance between Mantua and the spot at which the Mincio fails into the Po may be about seven miles. Thue ihe Ime which the Austrians have to defend is but littie more than twenty mi’ in levgh, and at each end of it is a fortcers which it is exceedingly’ difficult to turn, #8 the one (Peschiera) is ou the Garda Lake, and ibe other (Mantua) tes in the midst of bogs and marshes, which extend to the Po. Peschiera,a smal! town on au island, is defended by extensive outworks and cight ‘Cunettes” with bomb-proof quarters for the troops. ‘These “‘lunettes”’ form @ kind of fortified camp. In addi- tion to the fortifications aiready mentioned there are two forte, one of which commands the right and the other the Jeft bank of the river.
