If wc go back to tbe events which pre
ceded the battlo of Magenta, we shall find
ample material for admiring the maiden
generalship of Louis Napoleon. His long
delay at Alessandria was to collect and
organize perfectly his army, bo that, not
withstanding its great bulk, it could bo
moved rapidly in any required direction ;
moreover, by collecting his army there,
and sending, in tho direction of Monte
bello and Casteggio, strong advanced posts,
he constantly maiutained the idea in the
Austrian camp that Le was going to at
tempt to cross the river into Lombardy,
below l'avia. The sequel proves that the
Austrians regarded this as tho probable
point at which Napoleon wuuid attempt to
cross.
On tbe 30th of May, tho Emperor Na
poleon, with his whole army, commenced
moving to the north, stopping first at Cos
sale. Thus far, tho Austrians Lad no
reason to Lolievo that the plan of cam
paign Lad been changed, for they could
nut tell whether this movement was a nue
or not, and so they waited. General Niel,
however, as well as BaragHay D'llillicrs,
had disappeared suddcnly,and as far as the
duo "say boo" to Uncle Samuel. All the j first was coucerued, no trace of him could

Ou the 1st of June, tho J.uiperor Lad
formed his junction with the King, still
further north, at Vercelli. The '2d of
June, their Majesties were at Novara,stiIl
further north, with the bulk of the com
bined armies. It was now evident to the
Austrians that the French were aiming for
the bridge of BuQalora, on the direct road
from Novara to Milan, aud they commenc
ed, too late, as usual, to recross tho Ticino,
aud ruh up, ou the Lombaid aide of the
river, to iuterccpt the crossing at liufTalora.
Napolvoo, in order once more to deceive
them as to Lis real designs, made a fuiut

The Zouaves and the Tnroo.
The newspapers, correspondents from
Italy, and I'aris story tellers give ns all
sorts of reports and anecdotes about the
Zouaves, the Turcos, and other new species
of troops now in Italy. The Zouaves at
1'alcstro, they tell as, got their bagged
trouscr legs so wet, and therefore so heavy,
in crossing some lands, that when ordered
to the charge, they cast off their trousers,
and ran at the Austrians, bayonet in hand,
bare-legged ! The corps has been so wild,
it is alsj added, and so little regardful of
?neum and ttitm, that the Emperor sum
moned a certain number of them, and told
them be would order them back to Africa
and to Franco, if anything of the like oc
curred again ; whereupon, it is said, they
cried like children, and promised good be
havior. The Turcos are new raco of men on th
European field of battle, or at least, not
there seen or known since the days of
Hannibal, who led their aoeestors into
Italy. They are Mohammedans under
French officers, and sub-officers, natives of
Africa, about Algiers, black or wooly
headed. We havo to day the first ao
count from them on the field of battle, in
the correspondence of the Constitutional,
from Novarre, June 4th. McMahou's di
vision is made up of these troops and others
from Africa. The correspondent had then
just heard of this division at Magenta,
where they attacked the Austrians pro
tected by their cannon. "Like tigers"
(says tbe writer) they precipitated them
selves upon the Austrians, crying "victo
ry," even before they had discharged their
guns. The attack is said to have exhibi
ted one of tbe strangest and most terrible
aspects of war. The Turcos threw them
selves upon the enemy like the savages of
Cooper, without mercy or quarter. Soon
a horrible niolco ensued. The voice of
the cannon even was drowned by tbe
savago cries of the Turoos cries, not the
chauut of victory, nor the plaints of the
dying and wounded. All tbe language of
Mahometcan muster of imprecations broke
forth from them in isolated groups,
where one Turco would often be seen
struggling against tbreo and four Aus
trians. When the Austrians ran, and the
strife was over, the spectacle was not less
strange. The fanatio conquerors rolled
upon tbe ground, and under the inspira
tion of somo African war song, they
danced tbe most frautic species of dances,
amidst bursts of laughter, and frightful
eries, that startled even their, companions
in arms. Some of them had forced their
prisoners to sit beside them, and upon
these poor prisoners at first they glared, as
tho lion glares upon its prey ; and then,
with a specie of fascination, as if they
pitied tho poor creatures now without
means of defence. In other parts of the
field they lay down upon the groood, ex
hausted with fatigue, and recovering their
atreugth in sleep. Tba French writer,
however, deuies that they aot like beasts
cf prey, or ate cainiverous, but neverthe
less, be says, they are savage. Their

When, in the course of human events, it I pondenre. They too have been deaf to the
neeomes necessary ior one people wuhju.h
the political bands which have connectrd them
with another, ami to assume amons the powers
of ihe earth the separate and equal station to
which the laws ot nature and ol nature's tiod
entitles them, a decent respect lo the opinions
of mankind requires that ibey thould drclare
the causes which impel Ihem to the separatum.
We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created erwil Ibat Ihry are
endowed by their Creator with certain uimlun
uble rights ; that among theseaie. I'ftjibrrft,
undlhe pursuit ot htwpinc. That, lo secure
thmt right, governments are instituted among
men, deriving thtir just powers from the cunM itt
of the governed ; that w henever any form of
government becomes destructive if these, enrfr,
it is the right of the people to utter or Utalxdish
it, and to institute new government, laying its
foundation on such principles, and organizing
its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely lo ellect their safety and happi
ness. Prudence indeed will dictate, that gov
ernments long established should nut be
changed for light and transient causes, and
accordingly all experience hath shown, that
mankind are more disposed to sutler, while
evils are sull'erahle, than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which they are ac
customed, liut when a long tram of abuies
and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
object, evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw oil such government, and to
provide new guards for their tuiuie security.
buch has !.een the patient suilrrance ot thee
colonies ; and such is now the necessity which
constrains them to ailer their former system
of government. The history of the preenl
King of Great llritain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having in direct
object the establishment of an absolute ty
ranny over these States. To prove this, let
facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pas
laws of immediate and pressing importance,
unless suspended in their operations untill his
assent should be obtained; and when so sus
pended, he has utterly neglected to attend lo
them.
He has refused to pass other laws for ihe
accommodation of large districts of people,
unless those people would relinquish theright
of Representation in the Legislature; a right
inestimable to ihem, and formidable to tyrants
only.
He has called together legislative bodies at
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant
from the depository of their publi -"iaA'
ih. r-T" vi-ntuguing them into com
pliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses re
peatedly for opposing with manly firmness bis
invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time after such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected,
whereby the legislative powers, incapable of
annihilation, have returned to the people ai
large for their exercise, the state remaining in
Ihe meantime exposed to all Ihe dangers of
invasion from without and convulsions
within.
He has endeavored to prevent the popula
tion of these states : for that purpose obstruct
ing Ihe laws for naturalization of foreigners ;
refusing to pass others lo encourage their
migration hither, and raising the conditions
of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of
justice, by relusing his assent to laws lor es
tablishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will
alone for the tenure of their offices, aud the
amount aud payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices,
and sent hither swarms of officers to harass
our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in limes of peace,
standing armies, without the consent of our
legislatures.
He has arteeted to render the military inde
pendent nf, and superior lo, the civil power.
He has combined with others lo subject us
to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution,
and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his
assent lo their acts of pretended legislation.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us:
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from
punishment ibr any murders they should com
mit on the inhabitants of these states :
For cutting off our trade with all parts of
the world :
For imposing taxes on us without our con
sent :
For depriving ns, in many cases, of the
benefits of trial by jurv :
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried
for pretended offences :
For abolishing the free system of English
laws in a neighboring province, establishing
therein an arbitrary government, and enlarg
ing its boundaries, so as to render il at once
an example and tit instrument for introducing
the same absolute rule Into these colonies :
For taking away our charters, abolish
ing our most valuable laws, and altering fun
damentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and
declaring themselves invested with power lo
legislate tor us in all cases whatsoever.
