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.

PROSPECTS OF THE WAR.
We have not thought it ncces-ary to reply to
various easy criticisms made during the last two
months, whenever we have undertaken to dis
cuss the resources aud the strategic conditions
for tbe opening of tbe great and bloody *ar in
which Europo is now iuvolved. We have now,
however, in the ample details which to-day
crowd our pages—presenting an impressive
picture of the first scenes in this awful and im
posing drama—a justification of our views so
complete and so miuuto even, and at ibo same
time so certain t<> 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.

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

1 have oidercd my faithful aud gall int army
to put a stop to tue inimical acts ( anfeindugeii)
which for a series years have been committed
by the neighboring State of Sardinia against
the indi*putbla rights of my urvwn, and against
the integrity of the realm placed by God un
der my care, which acts have lately attained
the very highest point ( coujlt'irem hoiienpunkte

sovereign. 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

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

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

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. I speak as a

erable reserve, but there is reason to believe

—the vanguard—across the bridge of Bufia
lera, and met with little or uo resistance. The

10th battuliou of Jagers and ibe Ualiciau regi
ment of the line Arohdukc Stephen. Not above
GO,OUO men are now in movement, Out 70,000
more will soon be actively employed. As Col.
Kubn Vou Kuhueufeld ,au officer of groat prom
ise, who is cbief of Count Gyulai's staff, has

reasonably bo supposed that Casalo will be be
sieged.
