THE SIGNIFICANT PHASES OF THE BAT TLE OF SOLEEBINO, 4 From the London Cimes, pl ic “It a pes pny ‘says Madaune Dosovigné, \ the same man who warms the oves and who cate the bread. Francis Joeeph of Austria may ponder this mot when he reads with what relish Napoleon l., hungry and victo- rious, devoured the dinner which had been prepared for Francis Joseph at Solferino, This little incident, however, is only a type of greater things. Francis Joseph has been throughout this Italian policy only oven warmer to his Frenca Imperial brother. If he had been a man of his age and timo, he would never have sllowvd Loui, Napo- leon to piay before the world the audacious part of a libe- rator of oppressed nationalities.

As he prepared the way in Piedmont snd at Lom bardy, andat Ancona, and evon in Rome, for others whose only excuse for coming afer him was that he aud his bad been there before, so it appears likely to happen that Pea- chiera and Verona, Mantua and Legnano have been forti- fied, strengthened, stored and armed, only to be garri- soned by Frenchmen, and ultimately, as we must in court. esy to recorded promises believe, to be ozcupied by Ite Mans.

To day the battle of Solferino t its place in history in the shape in whic ft will be known forevermore. It wus a great and sangu‘nary battle, flerealy contested by nearly four hundred vhowsaad men from eunrise to sunset of a summer day; and it was a battle in which the Austrians were defeated, bat not broken, by an enemy inferior in numbers, but superior in intelligence and arms. While the mind of Europe is yet excited by tho details of thig mighty carnage, and is growing familiar with the eveote of the battic, it is time for us to point the moral of the catastrophe. Why did the Ausirians lose this great battle? Why have they Jost every battle that bas been fought ia this war? Itis notthat they are less brave tnan the French In this very evgagement, according to tne official accounts of each army, the Austriaus kilied and woundod 12,000 y With a loss to themesives of but 9,000 kilied and wounded. There could have been no flight when tne numbers stand thus at the ead of theday. Nor are the Austrians inferior as markamen. Their ri en hit 720 French officers, whereof one hundred and twenty wore shot dead, while the French succeeded in killing aad ‘wounding only two bundred and thirty of the Austrian offi- cers, Toey certainly are not inferior to the French in dis- cipline, Their vis inertia is magnificent, aud they retreat invariably with a bold, steady front to the foo. Why is it, then, that they who can lose so valiantly can never win? Because, unfortanately for them, present know- ledge ig present power, and their knowledge ‘s not of the present, ‘bat of the past. They area stagaating respecta- ility. They are governed and dirested by old rules, old men, and old routine. They have an enemy who}does not care a centime for antiquity, and is not above taking the most irregular methods to win a victory. The Emperor of Austria makes up bis mind to do a remarkably flao piece of Louis Quatorze strategy. He executes an elabo rate — of old fashioned deception, crossing the Mincio with his whole force, and then recrossing it with his two hundred thousand men, and fixing the contemplated sur. of the enemy at nine o’clock in the morning.

This government the Emperor of the French has propped up for bel frat wito his bayonets. Wita those bayonets he restored it when the people of Rome bad by their own arms deposed ft. Hie excuse for that flagrant actaf violence was Austrian in‘ervention. He ‘‘protected’’ the Pope against his subjects to prevent tha Austrians (60 he said) from “protecting’’ him still more. Tae Austians “protect”? him no longer. Why, then, does the Freach Emperor still keep his bayonets in Rome? Why does he maiatain them there but to maintain that Pope and his devestable abuses? He admits it, esses it, he popats of it. His journals print it, his ministers write it, his ambassadors aud generals angouace it. Oa him now devotves the whole responsibility for every Papal abomi- nation—a responeibility he would byposritically shirk, but which Europe must fasten on him. Louis Napoleon pretends that he goes to Italy to secure Ttalan independence. Is Italian independence only to mean a kingdom of North Italy for Victor Eoaanvel, an. other kingdom, perbaps, for his cousin, and the Pope and French for Rome? Then let hia Majesty say so. Lot bim rot affect to play the liberator when he morely plays the couqueror and tyrant, but let him declare that he puts Gown the Austrians oaly to set up himself. The aack of Perugia, its massacre and rapes, haye ex- cited the disgust of Europs. For that outrage Louis Na- poleon is and must be held accountable. It was only poa- sible with his connivance, if not with his positive sanc- tion, for neither Pope nor Cardinal could have dared to contemplate it but with his tacit consent. If Swiss mer- cenaries perpetrated the atrocities, French troops alone made it possible, for untess those troops held Rome ia awe the Swiss could not have been sent upon their errand. The French Ewperor is an accessory before the fact to the murders and rapes of Perugis, and if he stili supports seventy years would condescend wo use, he sends a man up in a ballon; and, at the expense of a few yards of suk and a few wuare feet of gas, is told “the exact position of all those misses which’ are Grown up 80 sclentificduy om yy nas signe WUN We ven tion of surprising ham at the comfortable, leisurely hour of 9A. if the man of his time—the clover, active, shrewd, nothing contemning adventurer of the nineteenta century—by dint of this emall contrivance, becomes mas- ter of the position.

M., he attacks at daybreak, chooses bis own time and point of attack, and remains master of the field. So, again, the Austrian coming by very respectable mesns, in no respect sullic by apy inventivences or breach of precedent, into pos- session of a fine baby of sharpahooters, deait tremendous digaster against the French.

Tae Austrian mountaineere do not use cannon in their Sunday games. Sere France went ahead, and Austria marched au pas. The consequences haye been obvious enough. The battie of Solferino bas been won by the superiority of the French artillery. The shells from the French rifled cannon fell at distances whence the old guns could no: 4} Every reader can work out the result. The enemy’s artillery was silenced before it could come within eifective dis- tance. Man’s thews and ‘leah are to day as they were a thougand years ago, but machinery is not thus immutable. Mere “pluck,” and courage, and standing still in squares, and coming forward in lines, is of no use if there is an reeine ta miles off which will mow down your lines and your living enemy. All that is left iirmagoucan reach gentioman of the old school is to die with dignity and constancy, scorning, if be should so please, with bis last breath the foe that seeks victory by such plebeian and irregular means. We follow with an interest much more intimate and earnest than could be excited by a uympathy for any mere principle the tactics and the defeats of these Aug. trian armies. It is vain to dimguiso from ourselves the fact that what they are we are. Toe sbdlidity, the bravery, the old fashioned routine, of which yield so Bulkily before the science and intelligence ofanarmy led and orgapized by men in their active vigour, are like our own solidity, our own bravery, and our own routine.

(From the London Advertiser (Koeeuth’s Organ) July 4 There are 600,000,000 of human beings who either never heard of the Pope or of the Papacy, or who hate or anh at both. The Pope and Papacy damn them all ag infidels, or heretics, or heathens. At the present time of day this may seem abominable or it may seem ridiculous, but ri or abominable such damnation in the next world is probably preferred by the parties concerned to being burnt or impaled in this.

(From the London Post (government organ) July 4) In point both of populstion and geography, Italy, free from Mcesina to the Alps, pod, with geod vnmece noni to the position of a great Power. fe recognise five great Powers—namely, Great Britain, France, Prussia, Austria and Rugsia; and so indefinite is the criterion of population that the European sul of each of these governments vary from 16,000, to 60,000,000. If Prussia can attain and command position with a popa- lation of only 16,000,000, how much more may Italy—s peopie by race and by sympathies far logs disunited than the Prusgiane—do so with a population of 26,000,000? For, be it observed, Prussia ranked as a great Power before the formation of the German Confederacy, and when just 80 independent of the old German empire as to be shorn of any support or alliance among herown natural kindred. Italy, then, in point of population, is on a better footing than Prussia for the attainment of the rank of # firstolass Power.

If we ce the exploits of Garivaldi’s free corps, where men of all Ttalian nationalities have r defeated Austrians more numerous and by much better appointed—if wo take those who stood by Garibaldi ten years ago in his heroic defence of Rome—if we take the Sardinians, who singly defeated the Austrians at Palestro, and who vied prekuibe French at Magenta and Pozzdlengo—we must the achievemente Pie Denes ve - pene yin oe ‘hs the additional fact that the Halians‘apyee alt tinge, and act on the sentiment that they arc itttiem.. did the sixteen millions of Proseians profess the same | TMutval sympathy?

The Lombardia, a new Milan journal, used as the official organ, publishes the following circular from Count Cavour CS the various Governors aud Extraordinary Commis- joners:— _ The Sardinian government, in creating for ita new rela- tions with the Italian Provinces, annexed or protected, a general office at the Department of Foreign Ailaira, in- vended to establish a bead temporary matter, as was declarea in the decree of hig royal Highnees the Lieu- tesant General of the kingdom. The King’s govern- ment finds itself in presence of Italian States which have hitherto had separate laws and adminiatra- tione.

His Majes- ty aeked the oaptain of the pontoon company how lopg it would take hin to make a bridge. “Two hours aud a half, sire, by making haste.” “aptaia,” said the Emps- ror, taking out his watch, ‘I give you an hour and pg qua: ter.” “Sire, we will endeavor ‘to do it in that timo. “No, do not endeavor, but do it.” In afew minutes seye- ral boats were joined one to the other. The Emperor our readers from drawing auy infe- | sence from the above figures, othor than the progressive | increase of expenditure which war novese: tub this increase exhibits itself in so enormous ‘ion that we may well pause before we venture tzain to cour such heavy responsibilities. During the thret years that the Crimean war lasted, this country spent in its army and navy no lees than £109,960,441, or az average sum of £36,655,480 per annum, exclusive of tte coat of the civil departments. During the same joriod it added £29,000,00 to the funded debt of the country. ‘There fare statesmen who look upon these mormous sums with the greatest indifference, aud umer the planaible argument of supporting the ‘national honor” they levy these millions upon the industry of th» nation; this encrmous expenditure must be changed, or we shall be changed a8 @ nation; there must be a limt to the amount of pressure which war and its tendencis can be borne by the people. Analtempt has been receatly made to fix these ever-increasing charges upon the bry admi. nistration of the government; but nothing cm be moro incorrect in point of fact, and proof has been amjly given that the late administration have been most strenious op- ponents against everything that tended to involre this Country in the war now going on in Italy. At the rate of outlay we have given, the interest pon the public debt, added to our military and naval expmdi. ture, are becoming frightful in amount, and, if | vuntinued at the same ratio, they must ultimate. ly undermine the foundation of car commercial Supremacy. We are not alarmiste in calling the attention of the public to the progressive ‘increase in the cost of war and its necessary accompaniments; but we place before our readers facts which cannotbe disputed, The two great obstacles 10 the advancemers of civiliza- | ton, even amongst the most enlightened naions of Ku- Tope, are warand debt. They are, in short, the scourge of the human race wherever they exist. The great aud paramount duty of Kogland, therefore, is to ener her pro- test against them both in her Parliament and gongst ber | People.

The Paris Univers alludes to the great loss of French officers tn the late engagements ia Italy, aad poiuts out the cause of it:—If our information be correct, the Austrian army, in addition to its regular battalions of riflemen, has in each infantry regiment one or two com- panies of skilled marksmon, armed with rifles, who are specially charged to dre on officers. These companies give the Austrians aa advantage over our troops, aud appear to us to explan ovr loss ia officers. A colonel on horse- buck at the head of his regiment, or a major on borseback at the head of bis battalion, are at one thousand metres positive targets for there riflemen; if they are not hit at the first shot, they aro at the second, or the tenth, or the twenticth—they must uecessarity succumb. A French colonel of infantry runs therefore greater chances of death than an Austrian colonel of the same arm, the latter not having to dread the rifled musket, which our regiments of the lice do not possess. The Archbishop of Vercelii bus issued a pestoral, re- commenting his flock to thank Providence for having de- livered tho most flourishing towns of tho State, such as Novara, Tortona, Bobbio, Voghera, ».ud ospocially Vercelli, from the ofthe Austriaas, and for having crowa- ed the arms of the Allies with viciory. In farthorance of that object bo evjoins all his clergy to sing the Am rosiaa hymn ia their respective parishes, and to comprise ia their prayers ‘“‘the well deserving heroos who, with such abnegation and patriotism, have obiamed the immortal glory of so happy an event at the cost of the previous ho- Tocaust of their lives,” A letter from Jonspruck, of the 16th of June, remarks to the Lendon Zimes:— ~ Tam pow writing from the capital of the Tyrol, that focus of Austrian patriotism and valor, and the very fountain hoad of the imperial power of Austria.

Day and aig it there {f a continuous traffic for that parpose om all the lines of railway; and the number of men and the quantities of stores thus transported, must be something enormous. I advise the French to look out for squalls. A Parisietter of the 24th of Jnne says:—We find here singular hope founded on the battle aboutto be it Louis Napoleon and the Emperor Francis. This hope bas taken, strange to say, either success or failure for basts of its realization, the reasoning upon which it is made out is clear and comprehensible. ‘In either case,’’ say the partizans of the younger branch, ‘‘our case is nigh its triumph. Supposing that M. Bonaparte should be beaten by the Austrians, we come in nataraliy, as it ‘would be utterly impossible that he should ever show his face in Paris again, Sappose bim to be victorious, and seas come in by the armed intervention of Europe, wi Will not allow him to purguea career of victory and conquest, and will immediately combine to put an end to his ambition.”’ The Now of tune 23 announces that a ardint squadron, composed Of rour frigates, 18 ZOMg fo take prt in the maritime operations against Austria; those opera- tions will consist of three kinds in the Adriatic—blockade, attack and Janding of troops, The Sardinian squadroa will take pari in the operations of attack, The Paris 2ays takes upon itself to contradict two im- portant statements of its fellow government journal, tho Patrie—ono that 40,000 men had been ordered from Africa to the Adriatic, and the other that General Frion’s divi- sion of the army of Paris is going to Italy. All that has . been done, says the Pays, is to complete the effective ree of the different regiments now in Italy by sending out men who were absent on renewable leave, and re- cruits whose drill is finished. A new daily paper, Le Journal du Peuple, is announced for publication at Baris. It is to advocate an energetic War policy, and the total repeal of the treaties of 1815. The dally edition will be of no less than 200,000, which are either to be sold or given away. The London Jewish Chronicle remarks:—The names and ranks of 140 Jewish officers now serving in the French army in Italy have been published, This ig an extraor- dinary number, and yet the catalogue is incomplete, and & supplementary list is promised. As in France promo- motion entirely depends upon individual merit, we con. sider this number of officers az a most honorable testi- mony to Jewish bravery, skill and morality, espocialiy when it is borne in mind that the whole Jewish population of France does not exceed 100,000 souls. Those soldiers are found in all regiments, from tho guards to the bag- age train. We can imagine with what zest the Fr Jewish soldiers will fight the Austrians, the bigoted op- preseors-and persecutors of their brethren in Central Ka- rope. It would be curious to know how mauy Jewish ofil- cere serve In the Austrian army, Before Francis Joseph became the slavo of the concordat we know there were some in the Austrian army, but we have not heard of any. since the canonical law superseded the law of the land. The Puris Patrie announces that the 4th division of the army of Paris, commanded by General Frion, is under orders for Italy. Tt is reported that Generai de Ia Hitte, the president of the French Artillery Committee, who has tate the new rifled cannon his especia) study, is abou! to join the army of Italy. It iseaid that Count Paul Schonyaloff, one of the Em- ror Alexander's aldes de-camp, is on hie way to the eadquarters of the artoy of Italy, with an autograph letter from the Ozar to the Emperor Napoleon, The Sémaphore of Marseilles says:—The number of Austrian prigoners who have arrived at this port and Touton since the battle of Magenta is 7,224; #0 that Gea- oral Gyulai must haye made a alight mistake when he limited hig logs to 4,000 only.
