Thereis Nothing- So Revolutionary, Becau...
Thereis nothing- so revolutionary , because there is nothing so unnatural and convulsive , as the straiii to keep things fixed when all the world is by the very law of its creation in eternal progress . —Dr . Arnold .
Rendered It Improbable That Any Terms Wo...
rendered it improbable that any terms would be offered that the French Emperor could accept , and thus the action of Prussia seemed more likely to enlarge the area of the conflict than to bring it to a close . It will probably be some days before enough is known of the circumstances of the truce to give reliability to any speculations as to its result ^ but it is extremely difficult to believe that any diplomatic bolus will be able to quell the stormy winds of passion that have been excited throughout the Italian Peninsula , or induce the House of Hapsburg to give them sufficient vent to calm their rage . Meanwhile there is nothing left to us except to receive the known facts of the
fortunes of Austria would be reduced to desperation , as she would require to maintain an immense army , when actually or virtually deprived of a large portion of her territory , and more / than hal her population . Already the Talue of the famous quadrangle is seen to diminish , and fortifications are shown to be a bad resource against an enemy victorious in the field and in possession ; of the adjacent country . It was expected that with the help of a powerful army the four fortresses , Peschiera , Mantua , Verona , and Lezuago could . . •¦ 111 ¦¦ _ ¦¦ . i ¦ -i .
be combined into one vast system of defence ; but , either in consequence of the defeat at Solferino , or the impossibility , from commissarai or other reasons , of keeping tie requisite force in the field , this scheme has proved impracticable . Peschiera may be regarded as an outwork of Verona , and the Austnans virtually abandoned it when they permitted its investment . Mantua likewise , appears a source of weakness rather than of strength , requiring' about 30 , 000 men for its defence , and not seriously inconveniencing the
allies , except by requiring them to watch it witn an equivalent force . Verona is , -without doubt , the place of real importance , and , taken in connexion with , its outworks , is said to require at least 60 , 000 men to hold it against a large besieging force ; and , in addition to this , another army would be needed for the preservation of its communications through the valley of the Adige . Under these circumstances , the defence of Verona might be prolonged for a considerable time ; but it would
be a most exhausting process for Austria , involving many of the difficulties which the Russians had to contend . with at the siege of Sebastopol . These facts certainly ought to make the Court of Vienna desirous of peace upon the best terms the French Emperor will grant ; but it is difficult io believe that the House of Hapsburg , however plausible its pretences , will negotiate with . any other object than that of entangling the German Confederation
in their cause . Letters from Prussia give a frightful account or the distress occasioned by the recent measures of mobilisation , which have paralysed industry and thrown upon thousands of families burdens which they are unable to bear . The Tory party and the speculators in Austrian paper are anxious for war , while , according to the usual practice of the tribe , the ultra democrats fraternise with the men of reaction , and are ready to support Austria for the sake of the disturbance it will create . The
steady going men of business and the wiser portion of the Liberals deprecate this folly , and see in the rain produced by the warlike measures of the Government a strong reason for promoting German unity and leaving Austria to lier fate . Sensible people cannot help perceiving that mere preparation for a possible war inflicts upon Prussia an amount of misery that France does not feel even when actually engaged in gigantic hostilities , and the cause is obvious—the division of Germany into fragments comparatively worthless for mutual
support . In addition to other elements of disturbance conies the " Roman Question ; " and Louis Napoleon would g ive a handsome premium to any one who woujd tell ¦ him what to do with the Pope . At present he coul 4 not-affbrd to incur the animosity of the priests , and the bigotry of the rural population in France , by attempting to annex the Roman territories to Sardinia ; and the Mazzim party , instead of following tho sensible course adopted by Garibaldi , have taken advantage of the atrocities committed at Perugia to renew their efforts to get up a movement hostile to that in which the allies arc engaged . It is believed that they will have no chance in Lombardy or Venice , but in Rome they mny get up nn agitation wlucu , wo fear , will do no good .
THE ARMISTICE . The capture of Verona would have been a less startling announcement than the news of the armistice so suddenly and unexpectedly concluded between the belligerent powers , and which will excite as much surprise in Paris , Berlin , and Vienna as it has done in London . It has been known for many weeks that Prussia was looking out for an opportunity of obtaining the consent of Austria to proposals that might bring the Italian difficulty within the sphere , of diplomatic solution ; but the traditional obstinacy of the Court of Vienna and the magnitude of the resources still at its disposal ,
situation . In France military and naval preparations continue with the utmost vigour , and the seizure of Lussien Piccolo , and subsequently of Cherso , the larger and adjacent island in the Gulf of Fhune , led to the belief that an appeal to Hungary would shortly be made . These islands woulu certainly be convenient coaling stations for vessels engaged in the Adriatic ami specially destined for an attack on Venice , and their occupation would have the advantage of inducing the Austrians to send troops to Fiumo tlmt might otherwise have boon employed on the Peninsula ; but taken in connexion with the presence of Kossuth in Italy , by
express wish of the French Emperor , thoir seizure indicated , to say the least , a determination to be ready to act in Hungary at a moment ' s notice . In a military point of view , the situation of Austria lms become extremely critical . It is pro * , bablo that the famous bridge in the Stclvio Pass has been destroyed by Garibaldi , and that the adjacent passes to the East have boon occupied or rondovod impracticable by the allies . Peschiora was completely invested , and not likely to withstand , a sioge of many days . Mantua was watched , and the Venetian territory expected to fall rapidly into the hnnds of the French . If in addition to those disasters a rising took plaoe in Hungary , the

DEFENCES AND EXPENSES . , While tho Chancellor of the Exchequer is puzzling his wits how to supply iv considerable deficiency in the revenue , without material damage to industry , tho attention of both Houses of Parliament is occupied with that most expensive of questions—our national defences . Ati present it is easy to got up enough alarm to induce the country to consent to . almost any outlay for the real or imaginary preservation of " hearths and homes , but tho consequences of prolonging an enormous outlay , tho uses of which cannot be clearly proved , yyill bo to revoke a reaction and crv for ooonomy , during which the crotchets of the Manchester
