The attention of the public being fixed at
this moment upon the plains of Italy, in
eager anticipation of the momentous even's
which a day may bring forth, we take the
opportunity to present such a view of the
relative position of the belligerent parties,
as we can make out from the impel feet tel
egraphic dispatches which have thus far
come to band. (The connection was inter
rupted on Tuesday, and at this hour, ten
o'clock of Wednesday, we have not receiv
ed our files by the Anglo-Saxon and Ade
laide.)
TheTicino, rising in the Alps near the
sources of the Rhine and the Danube, after
spreading ont into Lago Maggiore in the
upper pirt of its course, flows nearly due
south, and enters the Po at Pavia. It is the
dividing line between the kingdom of Sar
dinia and the Lombardo-Yenetian posses
sioa of Austria, the former lying to the
west of it, and the latter to the east. The
Sessia, a Sardinian river, flows in a parallel
direction to the Ticino, and as far as wc can
judge from the maps, about ten or fifteen
miles from it. The Austrians, before they
moved, were lying on the eastern side of
the Ticino. The telegram says the Sardin
ians are lying at Sessia, which seems to be
a town on the western bank of tbe river of
that name. The same telegram says the
Austrians have crossed the Ticino, at Buffd
lora, and moved in the direction of Xovarii.
This town lies considerably to the south o»"
that which is put down as Sessia on the
maps, and if the report be true, it is very
casv to see the object of the movement in
question. We will explain it, according to
our view.
A railroad, commencing at Genoa, runs
nearly due Nortlf between the Sessia and
the Ticino, passing tbroagh the towns of
Alessandria, Mortara and Novara, and ter
minates at Arona on the Lago Maggiore.—
At Novara it connects with another rail
road from Turin. II the main body of the
Sardinians lies at Sessia, the occupation of
the junction at Novara, will prevent them
from receiving reinforcements coming either
from Genoa, or Turin. It will also, cut
them off from Turin, to which Novara. is con
siderably nearer than Sersia. The Sardi
nian army will thus be isolated, and expos
ed to destruction, while the capital of Sar
dinia will be placed, in a measure, at the
mercy of the Austrians. In order to pre
vent such a catastrophe, the Sardinians
will be compelled to fall back, in the direc
tion of Turin. At Alessandria, a few days
march to the south of Novara, the railroad
from Genoa to Alessandria, and that from
Alessandria to Turin connect, nearly at
right angles, the Turin road running from
that poiut nearly due west to Turin. It
the Austrians should have taken possession
of Novara, the French, coming bjr rail from
Genoa, will, it is to be presumed, tak# the
Turin road to Turiu, i! it be not already !
broken up before their arrival. In case ei
ther of these catastrophes should happen,
or if the Sardinians should be cut off from
their capital, it seems probable, that they
will retreat in the direction of Mount Cenis,
over which the French are already said to
be pouring. This would leave an Austrian
force between Turin and Genoa, and of course
between the French forces arriving at that
point, and those now crossing the Alps. It
would give the Austrians a central position
and enable them to keep their vast army to
gether in one body.
We are however, only supposing a case.
There is little doubt that the French Empe
ror foresaw all this, and wiil send his
troops with so much dispatch that the Aus
trians will not be able to destroy the Ales
sandria and Turin Railroad before they shall
base passed. He perfectly understands the
value of time, in military operations, and
tbat is what the Austrians never did for
merly, (according to the elder Napoleon,)
whatever they may do now.
There is one thing in connection with this
subject, which we cannot understand. The
telegraph says, "Tuscany has joined the
Sardinians and French." If such were the
fact, tbe strategical position of tbe allies
would be prodigiously improved. But wc
are at a loss to understand what is rneaut.
The Grand Puke of Tuscany is a Hapsburg
—a scion of the llouse of Austria. To
shield him from the wrath of his outraged
subjects, Austria, a few years ago, subjected
Tuscany to military occupation, as she had
repeatedly done before. Surely, the Grand
Duke has not joined the alliance, which
must be especially detrimental to his inter
ests.
P. S. —Since the above was wiitten, we
have received our files. It seems to be true
that Tuscan/ has joined the allies ; but this
is the consequence of a revolt, which has
driven the Grand Duke from his doininious.
The Old Columbian.
The well known Columbian Hotel will
be r*-oponed to-day under new auspices,
after having been very much modified and
modernized. Mr. Josbi'm H. Crknshaw is
the proprietor, and Messrs. Wtatt
Cardwbll, formerly of Charlotte, and C.
B. Lcck, of this city, managers. The old
house has been considerably extended—the
lodging rooms are specious—the furniture
neat —and the whole establishment has an
air of comfort and ease without pomposi
ty of pretension that is quite inviting. It
is with respects to that very important de
partment of a hotel—the kitchen and meat
depository—that the Columbian is especial
ly commendable. For all the purposes of
cleanliness, convenience and ventilation,
no hotel is supplied with a superior apart
ment of the kind.
The managers are gentlemen well known.
John Randolph *nce said of Col Cahuwbi.l
that he "knew what's what as well as any
man," and a man of that sort ought to
knew how to keep a hotel. His young col
league, Lock,is a whole team when he fires
his mind and bis energies upon any object.
They are both popular, and we expect to
see the Old Columbian restored to its for
mer good repute with the public.
Yesterday the managers entertained their
numerous friends in a very handsome man
ner, aud there was a gay time. Such a
lively beginning and such a demonstration
of good wishes from troops of friends au
gurs well. There was certainly steam
enough gotten up on the occasion to keep
'he establishment ahead for a long time.
It is an important thing for the prosper
ity of a city that it should have good ho
tels. A man's impressions of a city de
pend verr mach upon how he is lodged
and bow be is fed. Therefore we are gratified
valuable addition to the good
hotels of Richmond and cordially wish the
old with its new conductors the high
est oocorss. K

DETAILS OF FOREIGN NEWS.
New York, May ll.—The steamer Persia, which
•ailed from Liverpool at 10 o'olock, A. M . on the
:toth of April, arrived to-day at noon, but doe*
not bring news as lata, by several hoara, as the
Adelaide. The details by her, bowevor, aro inter
eating.
The London Pott or the 29th, raya, there is still
hope of peace, ri the lut English «Her of media
tion is nnder serious consideration by the hinpe
ror of the French, and if the Austrian* "• r » in
from advancing across the Ticlno, a pacific settle*
mentmlghtstlll be made. „
The following are the provision* of the Kusao.
French treaty s* giver, by the London Times i.
1. Russia bind* herself. In the event of France
being at war with Austria, to a*«i*t her sUhco.
operation of her fleets In the Baltic and Meditor
ranesn, and place ao army of 50,000 men on
Austrian frontier. .
1 This, the Time* says, is directed ®hvlo n »ly
•gainst F.ngland. It* existence i* proof that en*
torprl*es which are than to l>e perfected, are *uch
a* It wonld be in. P 3**ible for England to allow
them to pass unchallenged- The Time* conclude*
that the Russian ermy of observation Is to exu
iD*nrrectlon among the Uung.r ans and
2. Provide*. in case Anstria invades Sardinia,
that Russia shall declare war against her within
fifteen days after tho violation of Piedmontiso
,o The Times maintains that "England need take
nosctiTepartso long a* the war i* confined to
Italy, but if France or Russia should attack Aua
trirt In (Germany, or should Pm«.» be laid noder
contribution, these treaties would become no less
than a partition of Europe,and the first principled
prenprTutioD would compel us to consider wheth*
erweenn better defend onrselves on the conti
nent, or on our own homestead. However much
we may desire to keep clear of these complica
tions, the existence of the great German powers is
essential to our safety."
Prince Cariaganu has been appointed Lieut.
General of Piedmont during tho war.
The Universities of Piedmont have been closed
by Royal decree.
The Sardinians had retirod to the west bank or
the Palassea. The great mas* of the army, abont
75.0(H) strong, wan condensed abont the fortresses
of Alesaaudria and Cnsale, with the second line
at the fort of the Appenines, between Novaraand
Tortana.
The Turin correspondent of tho London limea
does not think the Austrian* will reach that capi
tol, as the country has been laid tinder water by
means of canals for irrigation, and means had
beeu taken to render the roads temporarily im
passable.
Tlie news that Tuscany had joined France and
Piedmont, is confirmed. The Grand Duke of Tus
cany refused to abdicate, but returned to Bologae,
after throwing himself upon the protection cf the
Five Great Powers. The Tuscan army is 16,000
strong.
It is said that Victor Emanuel has beon made
Dictator by the Tuscans.
ENQLAXD.
The English Channel Squadron, which has gone
to the Mediterranean, ia to be immediately recall*
ed.
Four new ships of the line have been placed in
commission in England.
It is stated that the French and Russian Gov
ernments have lately been procuring large sup
plies of charts aud surveys of the English coast
and stations, and of the English stations in the
Mediterranean ; aud have, likewise, been engaged
making large purchases of coal, irrespective of
price or quality.
It is also intimated that extensive orders for
charts had been received from the Spanish Gov
ernment. and the inference was drawn that Spam
would throw herself in the arms of France.
Twenty»seven gun boat*, with vessels of larger
size, are building for tho Spanish Government, and
it is suggested that Spain might possibly bo act
ing merely us agent for others.
Large quantities of gun* and ammunitiou are
being shipped to Gibralter and Malta.
Gou. Williams, of Kars memory, had been ap»
pointed Governor of Caudia.
FRANCE.
A Ministry of Police is to be established after
tho fashion of the First Empire.
The French army of observation on the line will
consist of 8 divisions of cavalry and as many of
infantry.
Eight steam frigates filied with troops, left Tou«
lon on the 261b, for Gene-
The French army on the slope of the Alps, will
consist of 16 divisions of infantry aud 4 of caval
ry. The inf.intry wore marched overlaDd.
14 out of 22 battalion's chasseurs are to form a
part of fheatmyof the Alps.
Genoa will be occupied as a base of operations.
Another base will be established at Lonci, which
will be strongly fortified and made a general de
pot for all the troops that arrive on the Alpine
passage.
The French troops experience! much difficulty
in crossing Mt Cento. Four thousand workmen
were employed in cleaning away immense masses
of snow. It was expected that by fie end of the
week, there would he 80,000 French troops in
Italy.
A large operator in the Liverpool Exchange had
been declared a defaulter. His liabilities is stated
at A 600,000.
'i'be returns of the Bank of England show a de
crease in its bullion of £411,000 in specie.
LATEST.
A panic exists in the London Exchange. There
is intense excitement. Over 50.*tock brokers failed
—some of them quite important.
The discount market is dull— sasl£ were the
lowest rates for 0 months paper.
The London Herald, speaking of the English
mediation, says that further attempts appear use
less. The French believe we are anxious to reopen
negotiations by meau* of a conference between En
gland, Prussia aud Russia, to be held daring tUe
short armistice between tbe actual litigants.
The Times, and other morning journals, deny,
authoritatively, that Denmark has concluded au
offensive and defensive treaty with France. The
Herald says that Parma and Modeuaalso declared
for Sardinia.
The Times of Saturday, reiterating it* previous
statements, says the advanced parts of the Aus«
triauarmy crossed the Ticino on tho 2<Uh, and
took position iu the enemy's territory, and tbat
the main army crossed on the LJth.
By all accounts the Austrians have determined
on vigorous movements. There can be but little
doubt that they are desirous of striking a b:ow be*
fore the French troops reach them.
Tbe war enthusiasm was increasing in France.—
Paris was in a high stato of excitement.
The French were unprepared for so sud
den a movement on the part of the Austriaos.—
Tbey expectcd to begin the war at leisnre, and
somewhere about the end of May, and although
the French troops are being rapidly couveyed tj
the North, they arrive there without the means of
entering oh the campaign.
