    THE LEADER .

    Untitled Article

    i XOTII . ER week has elapsed with , similar results -tXl to its predecessor ; the allies continue to push on towards the Mincio , and the Austrians to retreat to tlie 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 nnnfidpiiftfi in their commander

    will in itself tend to important result , ? . After , the precipitate and almost disorderly retreat under Gyulai , the seven Austrian corps d ' arnicc arc now concentrated in the neighbourhood of Pesohiera , where , -under the eye of Francis Josep h himself , they hope to turn the tide of victory in . their favour . Tidings of a great battle on the Minci p must , Iheivfore , be looked- for hourly ; and it seems probable that it will be fought on the left bank , between Pcsehicra and Mantua , a line of twenty miles in extent , defended by a force of 200 , 000 Austrian ? , with cveiy advantage of position in Ilieir favour , and commanded by a genei \ il of tried ability and courage . Meantime , the Francn-tSardinifLU ibrcos , after some skirmishing , have crossed the CTiieso , and occupied the i ) o ? ition

    just evacua ted 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 tliu Venetian frontier passed . It is supposed that while Napoleon mid Victor Emmanuel hold the Austrians in check , Garibaldi and Niel ivill ondcavour to turn their right Hank , while Prince Napoleon may advance from Tuscany up to the banks of the Po , east of Mantua , and being joined by strong reinforcements from the main army , may turn both the Mincio and the Adige , before the Austrians are aware of it . Admiral itomain-JDcs-Ibsses has been despatched from Toulon witli

    15 , 000 men nud a powerful fleet , and is daily 15 , 000 men nud a powerful fleet , and is daily expected to make nn attempt upon Venice , which from -recent accounts there is little doubt is ripe for insurrection . The Austrians in Ttnly are thus threnlcncd on throe side-s , and by a revolutionary movement from within as well us by a powerful foe from without . The unhappy country that has become the . scut of tliis giguntic war sufl ' ei'H , it would seem , ii'uia friend nud foe . The French Zouaves and Tin cos , according to trustworthy accounts * , bid fair to bo n * much tlivuilod and hated by tho peasant * as by their Austrian I ' . - On tho other hand , wo have dreadful confirmation of tho wtoriua of Austrian atrocities in t . he ofllcial statement which Count

    the Milanese and Florentines cannot entirely reconcile the notion of their ancient capitals being reduced to the rank of provincial cities , under French or Saixh ' nian bureaucratic rule . Tlie haughty bearing of the French deliverers , and the ill-concealed envy of their Piodmontese allies , combine to make Louis Napoleon's task of " arranging" Italian affairs one of enormous difficulty . The position of the allies with regard to the minor Italian States is rendered stiilmore complicated by the news received from the dominions of , the Pope , some of whose subjects have made bloody expiation at tlie hands of his Swi ^ s mercenaries for daring to express to Victor Emmanuel their prayer for release from the "wretched misi > overnment of

    the " Vicegerent of Christ . " - Perugia will long rue the day that its inhabitants defied the priestly rule . The _ attitude of Prussia , notwithstanding , the denial of an Austrian alliance , is . calculated to 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 , stating that the Kegent will consider any infraction of the Venetian territory as a cams belli not only . ' gainst France but also against Kussia . Leaving the affairs of our neighbours , turn we noAV to home matters . IMijiistei's have kissed hands upon their appointments , and after the manner of Whigs have duly appointed fheir nephews , cousins , grandsons , or dependants to be itnder-socretarios , and other minor recipients of the . sweets of place and power . Xo human happiness is without alloy , and right honourable gentlemen must submit to the nuisance of' being re-elected to their parliamentary seats ; and in some cases , perhaps , even to be rejected by their former constituents . At least it ; will not be the fault of the Oxford Tories , if this fate does not befiil our rhetorical Chancellor of tho

    Exchequer , while Mr . lloudlam also will have ^ some trouble to secure a victory . Lord John is safe enough , and so arc Sir George Gn ; y , Sir G . Lewis , and the Attorney-General . J \ Ir . Gladstone ' s uddross to the electors of the Uiiivci ' nity , issued in the shape of a letter to the Provost of Oriel , is a singular document ;; excoudinglv smooth , fluent , and plausible-, but by a ijitalily which would seem to wait upon the right honorable gun t lei nan ' s acts , has already encountered tiriiicism of n disparaging ohuraeter , if indued it has not actually of Fended : ronie of hid new allies .
