HENRY M. FULLER, Wit. B. 31 ANN, Sec'y. Chairman. WAR IN LIROFE. We publish this week a considerable amount of new*, received by, late foreign arrivals, in relation to the war wLieii Las actually coui uituced, by the Austrian troops crossing the River Ticico. This is a email stream which ujarks the boundary line between Sardinia and the Austrian provinces of Venetian Louibardy. Switzerland lies north of Sardinia and the Med iterranean Sea ort the south. France is ou the west beyond the barrier of the Croatian Alps. In the passes of Mt. Dauphin, aud in the con tiguous districts are concentrated masses o! French soldiers, awailiug the signal which is to bid tLeui cross the friendly frontier. Aus ttia has one hundred and fifty thousand uieu encamped uear the Ticiuo River. SLe has the horses, artillery, and military stores oeccssaty to the efficiency of this gioat host; she is en during a daily ixpenditute which is consuming her iulernwl resources, and edging her on, inch by inch, toward the catastropho of an iaevita tie bankruptcy. The late news just brought by the steamers Weacr and iiotussia, brings the actual declara tions of war by the Emperor of Austria, the King of Sardinia, and also the address of Na poleon to the European powers. '•Occasional," of ForneyPress, in his Ut ter of the 12tb inst., says: "Brigadier GeDeral George Washington Bowman's resignaiioD of the superiniendency of nucha printing leaves that veteran Lcio in a woful couditiou of perplexity. Browne, of the Jvurnal of Commerce, eonit-s trom New York, to mend the login and straighteu the grammar of the Constitution, in which tho intrepid General remarks, with refresh ing originality, that 'we was glad to see our friend in such good health;' and what Brrigadier General George Washington Bow man is then to do, beside keeping an eye upon the pliuiing of jobs given to bis paper, and making a division of tbe spoils, it is hard to conjecture. The majestic Mr. llice may whis per in tbo Brigadier's ear that though the fruit appear enticing, yet it is like unto the Dead Sea fruit, aud turns to ashes upon tho lips." I TERRIBLE SHIPWRECK. The reported wreek of the Packet ship Pomo na, off the coast cf Ireland, Las been confirmed by lata arrivals. Nearly four hundrod human beinirs found a watery grave! BOOTS AND SHOES. —Messrs. Ferguson & MuDspeuker have a lot of the best and cheap est Boots aud Shoes,*at tbe "Shoe and Vari ety Store," that were ever brought to this place. Giro t'ueai a call. NEW GOODS! —Messrs. Reed interest the public, that we may properly oall attention to the sufject.— Fully two months ago, we indicated tho offen sive as the true method for Austria to defend herself. We stated that the Austnane, hav ing their Italian army well concentrated near to the PiedmontOHc position of defense, and perfectly ready and equipped for action, wouid commit a great mistake if they uid not take ad vantage of this momentary superiority over their still scattered enemies by at once catering the Sardinian territory, beating the Sardinian army first, aud then marohiug against the French, who must pass the Alps in several col umns, aud thus ruu the risk of being beaten in detail. This conclusion of ours excited & lib eral share of dissenting comment on the part of various mine or less eminent and more or less strategical critics; hut we have found our judgmeut confirmed by that of every military utau who bus written on the subject; and finally it proves to be that of the Austrian Generals. So much for 'bat point. The war having thus becu begun, what are ' the relative foicea of the parties, and their ehBUC?3 vf success* The Austriaus have iu Italy five army corps—the 2d, 3d, sth, 7th and j 8th —constating of at least 20 regiments of in- ; fantry, of five battalions each, (of which one is a grenadier battalion,) and 26 light battalions, in all 156 battalions, or 192,000 men. With cavalry,artillery .engineers aud garrison troops, their force amounts, at the very lowest com putation, to 216,000 men. We do not know how far this number has been exceeded by drawing into Italy fresh frontier regimeuts and i men of the reserve. That it has been exceed ed, there can scarcely be a doubt—but let us take the lowest estimate of 216,000 men. Of these, 50,000 tnen will be perfectly sufficient to hold all the fortresses, forts and entrenched camps the Austrian* care for holding in Loui burdy; but let us take the largest possible fig ure, and say C 6.000 meu. ibis will leave 140,000 men for the invasion of Pieuuiout.— The telegrams give the strength of the Aus trian anuy of invasion at 120,000; and thjse statements are, of course, not to be strictly de pended upou. But, to be on the safe side, we will assume that the Austrians have no more ' than 120,000 men disposable for the field llow will tbe French ad Piedmoutesc forces be placed to encounter this compact army? Between Alessandria aud (Jaanle, in a posi tion which we described some weeks since, tbe Piedmoutesc army is concentrated. It nurn- I hers five divisions of infantry aud one ot cuv aliy—or 45,000 men of infantry of the line, j including reserves; 6,000 riflemen, and about j 9,000 cavalry and artillery—total 60,000 men, j the utmost which Piedmont has beeu able to ! muster in the field. Tbo remaining 15,000 j men are required for gatrisons. The Italian ■ volunteers aie not yet fit to encounter an ene imy in the open field. As we lave stated, the 1 Picdmouttse position cannot well ba strtageti ; oa.iy turned to the south —it rnuy be turned, I however, to tic r.ortL; aud Lore it is supported ' by the line of tbo Seem, which joins the Po | about four miles east of Oasalc, and which the I Sardinians, if wo are .o trust to.the ttlegraph > iu dispatches, iulend to hold. | It would be perfectly ridiculous for 69,000 i men to accept a decisive battle in this position, if attacked by twice that force. In all proba- j probability, Soino stow of resistance will be | made on that river—enough to compel the Austrian® to show their full strength—aud the i the Sardians will fall back behind Casale and j ! the Pu, leaving the direct road to Turin opeu. This may have happened on the 20>li or 30ih of April, supposing that Euglish diplomacy has not caused a new delay in the military opera tions. The day following, the Austrians would attempt the passage of the Po, and, if successful, would drive the Sardinians across the plain to Alessandria. There they might leave them for a while; if necessary the Aus trian column, debouching south of the Po from Piaeenza, could destroy the railroad between Gcuoa aud Alessandria, und attack any French corps marching from the former to the latter place. But what do we suppose the French to be doing ail this wLilt? Why, they are coming down, with all haste, towatd the future seat ot war, the valley of the upper Po. When the news of the Austrian ultimatum reached Paris, the forces destined fori ho atrny of the Alps scurpcly exceeded four divisions of iufautry about Lyons, and three tucre either in tbe south of France and Corsica, or iu the act of' concentration. One more division was ou tbe road from Africa. These eight divisious were to form four corp. 1 ; as a first reserve, the di vision of the troops of the lmo at Paris were disposable, aud, as a second reserve, the Guards, This would give, in ali, twelve divisions of the . Hue and two of Guards, making seven corps j d'armee. The twelve divisions of the line, be | fore the arrival of their men ou furlough, would • count about 10,000 men each, 120,000 iu all, j or with cavalry and artillery 135,006, and the I Guards 30,000, making a grrud total of 165,- 000 men. bo far, so good; it is a fice army, targe enough to conquer a country twice as big as Italy. But where could tlmy he ou or about the first of May, the time they are want ed in the plains of Piedmont? Why, AloMa j Lou's corps was eeu', about the 23d or 24th, | to Genoa, not having beeu concentrated previ ously, it wid not be able to leave Genoa be fore the 30fu; Bataguay d'Uillicr's corps is in Provence, aud was to advance, according to some, by Nice aud the (Jol di Tenda; accord ing to others, it was to go ou board ship, and i effect a luudiug in the Mediterranean. (Janro bcii's coips was to pass into Piedmont by Mont Ceuis and Mout Genevre, and ail the other troops were to follow as they arrived by the same roads. Now it is oeruiu that no French troops set foot on Sardinian territory before j the 26th; it ia certain that of the army of Par jis three divisions were stiil at Paris on the j 24th, one of which left ouiy that day by rail | way for Lyons; and that the Guard was not j expected to begin its march before the 27th.— i Thus, supposing that all the other troops cnu ■ uieruied above had been concoatrated on the i frontier and ready for tlio march, we have eight divisious of infantry, or 80.000 men. Or I these, 20,000 go to Genoa, 29,000 uudtr Bar j aguay, if they go into Piedmont at all, go by ! the Col di Tenda. There retuaiu 40,000 un der Canrobert and Niel to go by Mout Ceuis aud Mout Genevre. This will bo the wholo which Louis Napoieon can make available by the time his assistance will be most wanted— the time when the Austrians may he at Tuiin. And all this, let us observe iu passing, is per fectly in agreement with the indications we gave on this subject weeks ago. But with aIJ | the railways iu the world, Louis Napoleon can ' cot bring down his remaining four divisious ■ fioui the army of Paris iu lime to take part in j the first engagements, unless he allows the Aua | trians to do as they like with the Picdmouiese | for a full fortnight; uud even then, having I eight divisions ou two mountain passes, and the enemy on their point of junctiou iu at least equal uumbers, he stands but a poor ehauoe.— But a mau iu his position cannot, from politi cal reasons, allow Piedmont to be overridden by tbe enemy for a full fortnight, and therefore ho will have to accept a battle as soon as the Austrians oiler it, uud that battle he must fignt under disadvantageous circumstances. The quicker the Freuoh get across the Alps, the better for the Austrians. BUCHANAN IN VIUGINIA. —in the report of < the discussion between Mr. Goggin and Mon tague, in Caroline county, as giveu in the Fred ericksburg JVeuw, we find tbe following: '•Mr. Montague:—"l voted for Buuhanau on the Cincinnati platform, but he has deceived me—he is a traitor to his parly und so kelp vie, ray Creator, I'lt never vote for him again." Mr. Montague is the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor in Virginia. 11BF0RB maUIRBR. THREE DA?S LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE ADELAIDE. HOSTILITIES COMMENCED. All Europe Arming. The steamer Adelaide, which left G ilway on the 30th, ult., arrived at St. John's, N. P., on 3londav afternoon. THE WAR 1.1 EUROPE. AC6TRIA. There had been for several days reports of the passage of the Ticioo by the Austriaus, and of the actual commencement of hostilities. The first statement was that duiing the night of 26ih of April, 100,000 or 120.000 Aus trians under Giului, crossed the Tieino, iu three corps, aud took the road toward Novate. Also, that they afterwards blew up the bridge of Buffalora, over which they had crossed.— This news as yet lacked confirmation from of ficial quarters, and doubts were thrown on it. It turned out that tho report was premature. The troops had received orders to do so, but the order was countermanded, and they re mained on the eat bank of the nver. Afterwards it was ascertained that the ad vanced posts had ctossed, aud on Friday, April 29th the whole army passed over into the Piedinootese territory. A despatch, designa ted as "official," reads as follows: PARIS, Saturday—The Austrian troops have crossed the Tieino and commenced hostilities. This intelligence is officially received." The Austrian official journals contain at. imperial manifesto, explaining the uecessby of a war with Sardiuta, and authoritatively deny ing the existence of a secret treaty between Russia and France. It was reported that Austria had accepted the proposed Mediation of E gland and p .-u --poned the formal declarations of war. TUSCANY. Tttcauy has joined France and Sardinia against Austria. This has been done in viola tion of the Grand Duke's wishes, which incli ned towards Austria. In fact the Grand Duke has been obliged to abdicate aud fly. The people and the at my all sympathized with Pied mont, and the army called on the Grand Duke to join France aud Piedmont and declare war aouinrt Austria. He declined and fled, where upon the army declared a military Dictatorship, and now Tuscany is actively engaged against Austria. Puima and .uodena vvui undoubtedly follow this example. FRANCE. Tliere are active military uiovuiieuts through out France, 80,000 French troops were ex pected to bo iu Italy by the day the steamer sailed. Denmark is said to have concluded a treaty offensive aud defensive with France. The Consfituliunal of Paris, and Daily J\'em of Loudon, deny the existence of the teported alliance between Franco and .Russia. The JWws further stales that the document which has been sigucd, aud which led to the report, is a mere convention. The Loudon Times professes to give the pro* visions of tho treaty, and deduces t%e most threatening consequences, regarding the alliance as a iueuace to Rnglaud, inasmuch as Russia guarantees the service of her fleet in the Medi terranean and Baltic, in addition to the army of observation on the Austrian frontiers. SARDINIA. The King of Sardinia has issued an iuspirit iug proclamation to the army, saying that lie regarded tho ultimatum of Austria as au insult, aud rejected it with disdain. The Freuch troops were landing ut Genoa in Urge numbers, and were enthusiastically re ceived. King Victor Emmanuel, has gone to join the army at Alessandria. GREAT BRITAIN. The Parliaienlary electious had commenced aud were progressing quietly. The report of the French-Russian alliances has been denied, but us an offset the Loudon Times publishes the provisions of the Treaties, which arc said to have been entered iuto by these two governments ; tho beneficial effect wbicli was produced by the denial ou funds, was injured by this publication, and a great panic ou the London Change was the result. A great panic prevailed in Loudou, and Cou suis fluctuated excessively. Warlike preparations were going on in Eng land, and great activity prevailed at Wool wich. The Government has chartered the (Junard steamer Etna, and other vessels, to convey troops and ammunition to the Mediterranean. Rumors prevail of a proclamation being aGout to be issued, caliiug out 20,000 meu for the Navy. War premiums ate beiug generally demanded at Lloyds. DttKADi'OL SHIPWRECK. Th 3 ship Pomona , from Liverpool for New York, was wrecked oil' Wexford on t'uu 17th. The crew and three of her passengers (names unknown) were saved. She had over four hun dred 9ouls on board. The less of life had not been ascertained. ARRIVAL OF THE Steamers, Kangaroo and Persia. Tbo steamships Kangaroo zaA Persia , arrived at New York on Wednesday, their dates are the same as those of the Jldalaide, who3o news we give above, but we add some particulars : The panic ou the London 'Change was in tense. Over fifty stock brokers had failed, some with very heavy liabilities. The new India loan had dcoliued to 6a 5 per cent, discount, and the demand at the bank for money was dull at an increased rate. In the discount market, 5a 5i were the lowest rates for six months' biils. The rates for Continental Lxchauge were lower. Austriau exchanges was almost nominal. The London Herald asserts on tho bost au thority that no secret treaty has been signed between France and Russia. The Russian Government merely offered to place 50,000 men as an at my of observation on tbo frontiers of Galacia. The Times, however, says with respect to this treaty : "Wo have nothing essential to re tract. It is not in the nature of a secret treaty to be known in detail within a week after it has been signed, but the main facts are, we fear, without doubt." lbe London Herald soys, speaking of Kog- iish mediation, "(bat further attempts appear useless." The French it believes are anxious to ro-open negotiations by means of a confer ence between England, Prussia, anu Russia, to be held during a sort of armistice between the actual litigants. The Times , and other morning journals, deny authoritatively, that Denmark had concluded a treaty, offensive and defensive with France. The Herald says tba; Modeua and Parma have also declared for Sardinia. The Times, of Saturday, reiterating its pre vious statement, says (he Austrian army cross ed the Tioiuo on the 26th and took a position on the enemy's territory, aud the main army crossed on the 29th. By all accounts the Austriuns had determined on a vigorous movement, aud there cau be lit tle doubt, are oesirous of striking the blow be fore the French troops can reach them. The War enthusiasm was increasing in France. Paris was iu a state of high excitement. The French were unprepared for sudden movements of the Austrians, they expected to begin the war at their leisure—somewhere about the cud of May. The difficulties and delays on Mount Ccuis will be considerable. Although the French troops are carried rapidly to Gpuo, they arrive there without the means of entering the cam paign immediately. The French Government had received in telligence of an outbreak in Algeria, which would probably require the return of the troops lately sent to Italy. The 'Times f ays that neatly all the naval eugiueers Lave their hands full of foreign orders. Up to too uight of tho 29ilt, 112 members hud been elected to the uew Parliament, in cluding 112 who were elected without oppo sition. FUG.;! EUROPE. THE AUSTRIAN DECLARATION OF WAR.

My conscience b-iugat rest, 1 can look up to an omnipotent God, and patiently await His award. With confidence I leave my decisiou to the impartial judgment of contem poraneous und future g< iterations. Of the approbation of my faithful subjects I am mire. More than ten years ago, the same enemy— violating international law aud the usages of war, and without any ofl>uoe beiug given— entered the Loiubardo-Venetian territory with tho iutentioa of acquiring possession of it. Although the enemy was twice totally uefea-ed by my gallant army, and the mercy f the victor, 1 behaved generously, and proposed a reconciliation ( riec'ite die hand zur I did not appropiiate to myself one iuch of his territory. I encroached on no right which belongs to tho crown of Sardinia, as one of the members of the European family of nations. I insisted ou no guarantees uguiust the recurrence of similar events. The baud of peaoo which 1 in sincerity extended, aud which was taken, appeared to me to be a sufficient guarantee. — The blood which my army shed for the honor and right of Austria 1 sacrificed on the altar of peace (dem fricden btac/tie Ich das blut meiner arme.e zum ooftr.) The reward forsucb unexampled forbearance was an immediate con tinuation of eaiuity, which increased from year to your, and prefidious agitation against the peace and welfare of my Lotubardo-Venetian kingdom. Well knowing what a precious boon peace was for my people and fur Europe, 1 patiently bore with these new hostilities. My patience was not exhausted when the more ex tensive measures which i was forced to take io consequence, of the revolutionary agiitation ou the frontiers of my ltaiiao provinces, uul witbiu tue sttne, were made an exousu for a higher degree of hostility. Willingly accepting the well meant mediation of friendly Powers for the ludintauanoe of peace, I couseated to be— [ come a party to a Congress of the Ave great. Bowers. The four points proposed by the royal government of Great Brituiu as a basis lor the deliberations of the Congross, were forwarded to my Cabinet, aud I accepted them with the ooiiduioiii which were calculated to briug about a true, sincere aud durable peace. Iu the con sciousness that uo step ou tho part of my gov ernment could, even iu tho most remote degree, lead to a disturbance of the peaco, I demanded that the Power which was the cause of tho complication and had brought about the danger of war should, as a preliminary measure, disarm. Beiug pressed thereto by friendly Powers, I at length accepted the proposal for a geueral disarmament. The mediation failed iu cousequenoe of the uuaoceptabienoss of tho coudiuons on which Sardinia made her couseut dependent. Only oue menus of maintaining peace remained. I addressed myself directly to the Sardinian government, aud summoned it to place its army on a peace footing and todis baud tho free crops. As Sardinia did uot ac oeuo to my demand tha moment for deciding the matter by au appeal to arms has arrived. I have ordered my vast army to enter Sar dinia. lam aware of tho vast importance of the measure, and if ever my duties as a monarch weighed heavily on mo it is at this momeut.— War is the scourge of uiankiud. I see with sorrow that the lives aud property of thousands of my subjects are imperilled, and deeply feci what a severe trial war is for my leajni, which, being occupied with its internal developments, greatly requires the continuance of peace.— liut the heurt of the monarch must be silent at the command of honor and duty.— On the frontiers is an armed cuemy, who in alliance- with the revolutionary party, openly announces his intention to obtain possession of the dependencies of Austria iu Italy. To support him, the ruler over France—who under fut le pretexts vorwande) interferes in the legally established relations of tbe Italian Peninsula—has set his troops in move ment. Detachments of them have already crossed tbe frontiers of Sardinia. The erown which I teeeived without spot or ! blemish front mv forefathers has a'ready seen trying times. The glorious history of our coun try gives evidence thsit Providence, when there is a foreshadowing that the greatest good of hu i inanity is in danger of being overthrown in Eu rope, has frequently used the sword of Austria iu order to dispel that shadow. We are again on the tve of such u period. The overthrow iof the things that be is not only aimed at by ; factions, but by thrones. The original cannot ! be rendered literally, but its sense is, that the present revolutionary movement is caused bv i mouarchs as well as by private individuals J be sword which I hare been forced to draw is sanctified, inasmuch as it is a defence for the j honor and right* of all peoples and States, and • for all that is held iiiort dear by humanity. 1 o you, mv people, whoso devotion to the i hereditary reigning family, may serve as a mode! for ail the nations of the earth, I now address inyseif. Iu the conflict which has commenced ! von will stunu by nte wi'h vour oft proved fi i delity and devotion. To your sous, whom I I have taken into the rauks of the army, I, their commander, send my martial greeting (i enffen ifiuss ) \V ith pride you mav rogard them, for the eagle of Austria will, with their support, soar high. Our struggle is a just one; and we brgiu it with courage and confidence. We hope, hnw j ever, that we shall not stand doc in it. The soil on which we have to do battle was made iruitful by luc blood lost by our German brethren, when they won those bulwarks which ! 'hey have maintained up to tbe present day.— | i here the crafty enemies of Germany have geii j orally begun their game when they have wished to break her internal power. The feeling that such a danger is now imminent, prevails in nil parts of Germany, from ibe hut to the throne from cne frontier to the other.

VIENNA, Thursday, April 28.—News from the seat of war must be received with consid erable reserve, but there is reason to believe that four divisions oomiutDCed operations yes terday. One division, under General Barou Zibel, probably advanced from Piacenza, and another, under Gen. Vou Benodck, probably crossed the Ticiuo at Pavia. Gen. Vou Burtelu, who is but a General of Brigade, led a uivi-ioa —the vanguard—across the bridge of Bufia lera, and met with little or uo resistance. The division under Gen. Barou Keisohach probably crossed the Ticiuo by oreaus of a pontoon bridge.
