ALL THE GREAT CONCERNS OF EUROPE WERE HASTENING TO A CRISIS.
The affairs of the ex-king Murat in Italy, had approached a decisive moment. "Geographical positions, agreed to on both sides, showed, that after having foolishly advanced to the Po, Murat had been, after much desperate fighting, driven back many scores of miles-that his army was retreating in disorder; and while he is said (which we doubt) to have sought an asylum in the strong citadel of Ancona, he had left his whole kingdom open to the incursion of all the Austrian corps not immediately occupied with the investment of his place of retreat. After the decisive battle of the 3d May, the main body of Murat's army (whether he was with it, or had stopped at Ancona, was not certain) was retreating on the shores of the Adriatic, by Fermo and Pescara. Austrian corps being at Rome and Aquila, at the last date, proved the advanced point of the allied operations at that time. Six days march would fix them in Naples. The congress of Vienna having formally recognized Ferdinand 4th, as the rightful king of the two Sicilies, have virtually decreed, (as Bonaparte did to the same Ferdinand) that Joachim had ceased to reign ;' and there can be but little doubt of the decree having been fully executed ere this-especially if the reported expedition from Sicily had been brought into co-operation near Naples.
In the anticipated arena of the new war--the French northern border-- there had not been any bloodshedding at the last date :--the hostile preparations, however, continued on an immense scale. The latest Paris papers intimated, that the whole French force was cantoned between the Sombre and the Meuse, and that it would probably attack one of the flanks of the allies--that this point was watched by the Duke of Wellington and Prince Blucher, who had a large body of fine cavalry, and a train of 700 pieces of field artillery--that apprehensions of the attack were entertained by the citizens, who had removed; and that, to guard against it, the Duke of Wellington had ordered the inundations to be augmented.
It is very easy for paragraph-mongers to predict military movements. and to lead gaping credulity to anticipate important events. But while the French corps on the frontier remained scattered in cantonments and garrisons, without a prominent chief to direct them, and Bonaparte and his marshals continued in Paris, there was but little danger of any French hostilities. On the other hand the great allied commanders were not ready for decisive operations; and until they were fully ready, they could not move an inch forward. Well acquainted with popular impatience, they have learned to disregard the croakings and clamors of closet martinets and chimney-corner tacticians.
Of the state of the interior of France, it was not easy to form a decided opinion. Insurrections and divisions most certainly existed ; but their origin or extent was unknown. When Bonaparte arrived in Paris, the Duke of Bourbon fled to La Vendee, and there endeavored to raise a loyal force to oppose the Usurper. To aid him, a secret expedition, with arms and a few French royalists, sailed from England, and landed the arms and royalists at St. Gilles, on the coast of Poitou. The French papers say, these royalists had all been routed. and the arms taken, stated in various accounts at from 3000 to 10,000. But other accounts assert that the duke continued in Brittany ; and that the state of the insurrection was auspicious. One of the first objects of Bonaparte's attention was the double fortification of Paris-on one side. to repel assaults--on the other to over-

It is amply confirmed that all Europe is zealously united against Bonaparte; and that the French stories about Austria, Saxony, Sweden, Denmark, &c. were all sheer fabrications. The best evidence of their earnestness is their accession to the outlawry of Bonaparte-and the spirited exertions they are making to carry on the war against him.
Great Britain advances to the allies FIVE MILLIONS of money to carry on the war. She will also have in the field 50,000 men. Her naval preparations were very extensive. Squadrons had sailed to the French coast.
