The Catholic Tilegraph of the 16ta inst, which is always anti Evglish in tone, speaks of a coalition of France, Rus. sia and Austria againat Eoglaud, 1 is, however, more moderate than might be exp:cted. Of the treaty and probable reeuits it apenks aa follows: — The suddenness of the peace has vatarally created ax- tonishment and surprise everywhere; bat in England it has given rise to feelings of mortified pride and deep cumiliation—a feeling pot to be wondered at, when it is considered that though supposed to be on @ footing of clcse alliance and perfect understanding wita the Emperor of the French, she was excludes from any-act or part in bringing about the peace concluded by the Fim- perors alone. And this exclusion is rendered stili more marked and gall by the circumstance that though ex- erting all her influence with both parties, she failed in her repeated and strenuous efforts to avert the war by her mediation. Looking at the ) therefore, ia which Engiana bas thus been placed by the Emperors of France ‘and Austria, it would not surprise us if, in the requel, she bacame {solated from all participation in the affairs of the Continent. The coalition against her will evidently be most formidable, as it will consist of France, Russia aod Aus- tria, aldedeither voluntarily or in spite of themselves by ‘he German and Italian Confederations.

BRICK AND THE MINOIO'S ELBOWS. [From the New York Times, Ju'y 15.] THE DEFENSIVE SQUARE OF AUSTRIAN IVALY, When the Aurtrisos were beaten at Magenta, a suiden conviction seems to have seized upon their leaders taat if they could once put their forces in sufety beyond the lines cf the Chieso and the Mincio, they efould bs able to make bead against the courage and the sili of France. Tae extraordil speed with which the French troops were moved across the Alps to the succor of Turia ead of the Piedmontkse provinces, scems to have paralyzed; for a moment, the crergy of the Savoyards, end tho skiitul move ments by which the Sardinian troops were brought into relations with the village tmsurrections of the Lombard people combined to make the Austrian authorities under- stand the tmpossitiliry of holdsng Ovir ground against a Gismganized and revolutionary pecple. The Ausiriaus, following up the strategic plana of Marshal Radetzsky in 1848, abenconed with an unwise haste their firsi lives of defence vpon the Mivcio, aud threw them:c!yes beyond the river, in the empty hope of beatig back the Alliod troops. The rerult of this mad enterprise bas been their com flete imprisonment witbin their famous etrategic square. ‘The square is cloged to the north by the last spur of the Alpe on the shores of the Ligo di Garda; to the west it is defended by the Mincio, which leaves the Lake of Garda at Peechiera, waters the plains of Mantua, and joins the Po at fifteen leagues distance from its springs at Gover- nolo, after opening a real lake, on the banks of which lie the fortresses of Mantua; to the south the strategic square is defo 1 vivor PO, a iho walls oF Uramons, Gud draws to itael? all the torrente flowing from the Alps; to the east the boundary of the Avstrian defences ix formed by the Adige, which descends from the mountains of Switzerland, and flows on a paral- Jel line with the Po, afier passing by freut, Rovereto, Verona and Legnago. The strevgth of a position #0 forti- fied by nature and by art does not need to be developed. It borrows atrategic importance from the nun-rous breaks of the ground, which—ii we may be peracued for the ex- preesion—socm but to have formed ihe succesrive steps in the natural defence of Austrian Italy. Bat if nature has done much for the “strategic square,” art bas done more. Austria has neglected nothing which might assure her do- minicn cver the waters of the Danube. She has done all in her power to favor the developement. of Europe, which is the pacific developement of England. She bas dealt with eigod toolz—boldiy, but not, we feel sure, in utter vanity.

The fortress ef Peschiera lies on an isle near the econo of the late confli st. A broai road has been made by Austria in the direc- tion of the Alps, to unite the region of the Vorarlberg and tho Tyro with Lombardy by the Pass of the Stelvio. This road pesees through the Valteliine, rang around the Lake of Como, and ends at Bergamo. It may serve as well for the retreat of toe beaten Austrians jwto the Tyrol, as for the advance of the vic- torious Austrians upon Italy. Two railways pass also by ‘this central point of the Austrian position. One of thes railways unites Lombarey with Vienna, by circling round the crescent of the North Adriatic; the otner, leav- fog Boizen, im the Tyrol, skirts the Lago di Garda, touches Trent, Roveredo and Verona, and by a branch road reaches Mantua, and thus unites tbe two main angles ofthe famous equare. Tbe New York Herat, ia giving yeeterday a preiended map of this equare, carefuly omilted the bridge head ot Legnago, and thus cviverted the equere into a triangle. The strength of Peschiera and Leguago is out of all proportion to the besieging force.

Fatigned by bis tremendous military operations, Mr. Brick went to eleep in a cxf? at Caatigiione, but was sysed- Sly roused by anevident snd upusuat commotion—and looking up, we taw meo running down the street with ua- common ogility. Their numbers and their spoed tacreasod, Zouayce and ober soldiers were runping as fastas the reat, I stepped ip'o the street and asked three or four soldiers in succession what was the matter. Each gave moe the e reply— Je me sais pas’’—but never stopped his running in tho leatt. Presentiy ove shouted aa loudly ag his spent breath would permit, ‘Tis tuent les blessés,”” (they are killing the wounded ) And when I neked him *Who?!* he replied, “(Les Austrichiens.” This was certainly rather startling information, ‘and as it was backed up by a generat Aight of the whole mobile population we began to think it was time for us fo be moving also. We arcordingly started off ‘at a round pace, but were compelled to stop now and then, and draw up close to the wail to prevent being run over by the advanoing erowd. Freaca mounted officers came tearing down the street, spurring their horses into a dead run over the pavement. Shutters were cloeed, doors bolted, and Sardiaian flags pulled in with @ good deal more alscrity thao they had been bung out the day before. Everyboay wbo had a cart aad bone mounted it and siarted.

A Frensh officer, whom I recognized a8 one I had seen in command of the guard of the wounded, came dashing along en grand galup. icalied out to him as he rushed past, “Are the Ausiriang “On dit,” wes hie only repiy, Following to bis heels came one of the largo wagons be'orging to the Imperial suite, and in it a ung msn to whom [ had seen tho wargeoog, of the Tosperial household especially deferentiat the before, Next came an open chaise, with two civilians, one of whow was lashing the horse and the other fighting of the soldiew who were trying their best to climb up behind.

This decited us to quit rar ning altogether, as it was quite hopeless to run away from pursuing cavalry. This relaxation of our pace and the re covery of our wind induced a cooler view of ths whole af. fair, and we were beginning to see its Cae | character, when our cowardly coachman came puili blowing bebind us, his face swelling with fear and red with heat. He raised his eyes and clasped his hands in pity as he paerod ur, and goon turned oif from the road end buried his stalwart form in a field of wheat. Tais quite reconclied us to the desperate state of things, end Jaugning at bis sorrows we entirely forgot our orn. asoning the case, moreover, as we walked along, we tbougnt it just possible that @ corps of Aus- trian horse might bave dasbed in from Peachiera to rescue the prisoners, of whom there were 6,000 in Cis tiglicme; but anything beyond this seemed quite impomi- ble, The whele body of tives upon our road was (ut of sight, but a long cloud of dust on tne road to Mone. chiaro showed that io that direction the panic was in- abated. As wo had agreed to meet ‘Malakoff’ on hiere- turn from Brescia at Montechiaro, we strack into the cnss roads leading through the farms and country distrtts, acd after a couple of hours brisk waiking rexched tat Place.

Of its results at Brescia our reglar correspondent, who was on the spot, will give ade. tailed account. I have since tried very hard to findout how it originated, but with only indifferent success. At first we were told that a squadron of Piedmontese cral- ry, who were promenading the country in the directia of Castiglione, had been mistaken for Austrians; but amffi- cer in the camp of Gen. Canrobert, which we visitedthe next day—upon the farthest exireme of the field of at- tle--told us that {i came from five Austrian soldiers, rho had concealed themeeives in the bushes after the Paty Pook aprihewhes tosurrender. They were said to.ave state Austrian army were rapidly @pming jp in full force, and wou'd soon be in possession of Vactighoo, In that camp no alarm seems to bave been created: but when the rumor reached the amraunition train, » mi or 8o in the rear, it set thom scampering off in the maazer I have rebeareed, They ran their horses all the wey io Brescia—soine seventeen miles—and reached ther st about three o’clock.

Several of the former, indeed, bad fallen in the tri ind been left behiad on the road, As we came out of the inn where wo had been lunchipg, we saw three ertillerymen sitting upon tha sidewalk, their horses standing near, and all completely worn out. They told us of the fligbt, sud said they had eaten nothing whatever eince they left their camp on the morning of previous day, that neither they nor their horses could go a step further. They bad no money, soppy had offerea them anything to eat, and it is not « French soldier’s habit to ask a favor from any one. gave them money enough to procure some food, and they soon after started on to join their troops, Ido not su; the French popes will say much about this affair, and I have therefore 0 more particular in mentioning {t.

But it is not creditable to the officers of the French army that ae Ie os Permitted go die a frighi to Produce such serious results—especially that they them- selves should have ebared ia the panicand led the fight.
