_ . Q ^ 1--Another Week Lias Elapsed Wit...
_ . q ^ 1--ANOTHER week lias elapsed with similar results to its predecessor 5 tlie allies continue to push on towards the Mincio , and the Austrians to retreat to the cover of their line of fortresses . The assumption of the direction of the Austrian movements by Marshal Hess is welcomed by the troops now under his command as an earnest of victory ; and this restoration of confidence in their commander will in itself tend to important results . After the precipitate and almost disorderly retreat under Gyulai , the seven Austrian corps d ' armee are now concentrated . in the neighbourhood of Peschiera ,
where , under the eye of Francis Joseph himself , they hope to turn the tide of victory in thenfavour . . Tidings of a . great battle on the JNIincio must , therefore , be looked for -hourly ; and it seems probable that it will be fought on the left ^ bank , between Peschiera iuid Mantua , a line of twenty miles in extent , defended by a force of 200 , 000 Austrian ?' , with every advantage of position in their favour , and commanded by a general of tried ability and courage . Meantime , the Franco-Sardinian ibrces , after some skirmishing ,
have crossed the . Cliiese , and occupied the position just evacuated by their opponents . Humour speaks of a grand combined movement of the allies in which the old fashioned notions of military science arc to be set aside , and the menacing line of fortresses is to be evaded instead of broken ; the Federal territory violated , and the Venetian frontier passed . It is supposed that while Kapulooi 1 and "Victor Emmanuel hold the Audtriaus in check , Garibaldi and Niel will endeavour to turn their rmlit Hank ,, while Prince
Nupoloon may advance from lusenny up to the banks of the Po , cast of Mantua , and being joined by strong reinforcements from the main army , may turn both tlio Minqio and the Adige , before the Austrians tiro aware of it . Admiral JLtomahi-Desibsses has been despatched from Toulon with 15 , 000 men and 11 powerful licet , and is daily expected to make an attempt upon Vemco , which from recent accounts there is little doubt is ripe for insurrection . Tha Austrians in Italy arc thus threatened oit three Hides , and by a revolutionary movement from within as well as by a powerlul
ioo From without . The unhappy country that has become the scut of this gigantic war sullbrs , it would Boeni , from friend and ( be . The French Zouaves and Turcoa , according lo trustworthy accounts , bid fair to bo as much drcudod and hated by the peasant * us by their Austrian foe .-i . On the other hand , we huvo dreadful confirmation of tho Btoriua of Austrian atrocities in tho ofliclul statement which Count Cuvour ' linn juHt put forth of the murder y l tho Cignoli family l > y coninmiid of JVLirslinl Urbancruoltv is fit to be
given , suspicion is thrown upon nio "wlit-lu statement which has so much astonished the public , if not the House of Commons . At the meeting of Conservatives last Tuesday . ' Lord Derby ' s advice to his friends is said to ha * . ¦ - / been to wait a short time without taking oflt-nsivc measures , since the inherent wcakiics-Hcs >; i ' tli'J new Cabinet must shortly be revealed . From India- ' the news is satisfactory , : ; : > t >> the result of the measures taken by Lord Cl y di : to appease the . discontented soldiery . In this ei ^ c , at
least , small blame appears to attach to tho men , except in the breach of discipline ; and tin . Conimand'er-ih-Chief appears to Lave been cv-nvinced that the most judicious course wns to giw . : liuui what they asked , seeing that it - \ vu ¦•; no lim-v than their due * .

The . City of London , mindful ' -. ; ane .- o of its gallant trained bund * , is about ( thoughsomewhat late ) to take its part in the uati'n . al cflort , notwithstanding the-doubts and ( waddle < T some fat-headed individuals who fear that the civ : * hoy will be neglected when tho citizen shouM-: * Uim riHu .

the Milanese , and llorentines cannot entirely reconcile the notion of their a " ncient capitals being reduced to the rank of provincial cities , under French or Sardinian bureaucratic rule . The haughty , bearing of the French deliverers , ; and the ill-concealed envy of their Piedn 1011 te . se allies , combine tomake Louis jSTapoleon ' s task of arranging" Italian affairs one of enormous difficulty . The position of the allies with regard to the minor Italian States is rendered still more complicated by the news received from the dominions of the Pope , some of whose subject's have made bloody expiation at the hands of his Swiss mercenaries for daring to express to Victor Emmanuel their prayer for release from the wretched missrovemmeiit oi
the " Vicegerent of Christ . " Perugia will long rue the day that its inhabitants dotiedT the priestly rule . . ¦ " The attitude of Prussia , notwithstanding the denial . of an Austrian alliance , is calculated fo cause grave alarm as to the prospect of confining the field of war to Italy . The mobilising of so large a portion of her army may be only for the purpose of giving weight to her proposed mediation ; but there are ugly rumours ; of a note to the French Government , staling that the ltegent will consider any infraction of the . Venetian territory as a casus belli not only against lu-iuice but also a ' orainst Kussia .
Leaving the affairs of our neighbours , turn we now to home matter * . Minister * have kissed hands upon their appointments , and after the manner of Whigs have duly appointed their nephews , cousins , grandsons , or dependants to bo under-seoretarics , and other minor recipients of the sweets of _ place and power . No human h .-ippines . s i . s without alloy , and rig ht honourable gentlemen must submit to the nuisance of being re-elected < o their parliamentary scuts ; and in some cases , perhaps , even to be ivjeeted ^ by their former constituent . At least it "will not be the fault of the Oxford Tori ™ , if this fate does
not befal our rhetorical Chancellor of the Exchequer , while Air . Ileadlam also will Lave ^ some trouble to secure a victory . Lord . John is imfe enough , and so are Sir George- Grey , Sir U . Lewis , and the Attorney-General . Mr . Gladstone ' s address to the electors of the Univeraily , issued in the shape of a letter to M 10 Provost of Oriel , is a singular document ; exceedingly smooth , fluent , and plausible , but by a fatality winch would seem to wait upon tho right honorublo gimtleniun ' s acts , lias already encountered crjjtifiHin of a disjiarnging cliari ^ ctor , if indeed it lina not . actually olTemled sumo of his new allies . ^ lr .
