prepared by the Austrian cabinet at home a manifesto on the subject, animated by that wise spirit of justice and moderation which has been found in the acts of this empire since the new system was accepted. In a temperate declaration, the cabinet set forth the obvious proposition that it is entitled to maintain for the Imperial Crown the rights guaranteed by treaty, and by the general settlement of Europe; that it has done nothing to forfeit those rights; that its Italian territories have been well governed in all respects but the possession of a constitution, which last want had since been supplied by the imperial grant on the 4th of March; and, finally, that it was prepared to appeal to arms in defence of the kingdom of Lombardy, as against the proposition of England and France for a treaty on the basis of the cession of that kingdom. On the 20th ult. an engagement took place between the troops of Charles Albert and those of Radetzky, the particulars of which are difcently related, but of which the Anything like a powerful national union among the Italians seems hopeless; and France and England have wisely determined not to interfere, but to leave Charles Albert to his fate, it being generally understood that it is not the object of the Austrians to take severe reprisals. The attitude of the rest of Italy, although at any other time it would appear menacing, is, in the presence of actual war, comparatively tranquil. It is to be expected, however, that a reaction towards the old system will at once commence. Since the foregoing was in type, tidings have arrived of the total defeat of the Sardinian army. Charles Albert has abdicated; and Redetzky is probably by this time in Turin. FRANCE SUPPRESSION OF THE CLUBS. One by one have all the privileges for which the French fought in February, 1848, been wrested from them by successive Governments of their own creation. President Napolon is only following in the footsteps of many predecessors-of the Dictators under the old Revolution, of Louis Philippe and Guizot, of Lamartine and Cavaignac. Not more not doubtful. The Austrian general, at the head of 40,000 men, succeeded in dividing the edmontese force; and having crossed the Testue is the needle to the pole than sino, pushed on towards Mortarar Here, or rather between that place and Vercelli, a battle was fought between the Austrians and Piedmontese on the 21st, the result of which was the entire defeat of the Piedmontese, and their precipitate retreat towards Turin. Although some accounts state that the Piedmontese were at first successful, there is no dispute as to the final result of the battle. Instead of attempting to pursue the invasion of Lombardy, all the efforts of Charles Albert were now concentrated on the defence of his own capital. This rapid success of the Austrians will, no doubt, bring the war to an immediate conclusion, the Austrian Government declaring that they want no more than an honourable peace on the old territorial basis. It will be well for the future peace of Europe if this decisive result be speedily come to. the return of revolutionised France to the substance, if not the form, of Governmental despotism. The latest step of those who are striving once more to consolidate society in France is the suppression of the clubs. This is proposed in a formal way, by means of a bill introduced into the Assembly. Carried on simultaneously with the trial of the insurgents of May and June, it sufficiently marks the real character of the late Revolution, and the real objects of the present Government. It is said, however, that as the severities of the law have increased against these more open and legitimate conduits of sedition, secret associations have spread alarmingly. Ostensibly, society is calm, and the President popular. The resolve of the Government not to interfere in Italian affairs inspires great confidence in the nation. J.
