the kingdom to the other; and while the cry is for peace, the best means are taken to secure it by strengthening our naval force and training the people to the use of arms. Never was there such a rational determination to refrain from mingling in quarrels with which we have no concern, coupled with such a marked contempt for the shortsighted and ignoble counsels of those who would teach us that the best mode of preserving peace is to disqualify ourselves from maintaining war. While such a spirit prevails, there need be no fear. of invasion; and we firmly believe we shall be equally discharged from the necessity of taking up arms to chastise the ambition of despots, or vindicate the faith of treaties.

With regard to the prospects of the war, it would be premature to express a confident opinion. It is hardly probable that the Austrians ever seriously contemplated advancing on Turin. The occupation of the enemy's capital as the first stroke of the war would, no doubt, have figured brilliantly on paper, but the rash invaders would have paid dearly for their achievement. There was nothing to prevent their march to Turin, but their return would have been a much more marvellous achievement. Cut off from their base of operations, and sur. rounded by the French and Sar. dinian armies, the Austrians would have been forced into a general

action under the most unfavourable circumstances, and a defeat must have resulted in an utter rout. Their tactics, which have been directed by the experience and proved military skill of Baron Hess, are far more prudent, and calculated evidently for a lengthened campaign; and unless the French can succeed in revolutionizing provinces in the rear of the Austrians, or in forcing them to a decisive battle on the plains of Lombardy, the Austrians will be enabled to draw the enemy farther and farther from their supplies, and at length I will be in a condition to strike a decisive blow whenever and wherever it may suit them to do so. The attempt on the part of the French to swell the little battle of Montebello into a great affair has been a failure. The movement of the Austrians was merely a reconnaissance en force: they succeeded in surprising the French in the first instance, and though they subsequently gave way before the impetuous rally of the allied forces, no military reverse has been sustained. The prospect of a decisive engage. ment is more remote than ever, and we are not without hope that the change of government in this country, which is likely to be the first result of the general election, may lead to such a mediation as will terminate the war without giving a military triumph to either of the great belligerents.
