Additional by the Nova Scotian. I The Nova Scotian brings Liverpool dates to the 4th May. The Austrians had taken the Buffalora bridge, after a sharp conflict, and with consid erable loss. This bridge ii rem:arkable fur its magnificent structure, avid cro+es the river Ticino at Buffiora, a town of Northern Italy, in Lombardy. It wai also reported that the town of Mor tara, in Piedmont, had been taken by the Austrians. It is a walled city, with a sparse population. A Royal Proclamation has been isued of fering a bounty of ten pounds sterling for seamen, with the intention of recruiting ten thousand more men for the British navy. Great activity prevailed in the English dock yards, and England is evidently preparing for war. In all probability there was a sharp action at the Bridge of Buffalora on the 28th April. It is reported that the Austrians took it at the point of the bayonet. It was zeported that Mortara haZ been taken, and that the Sardmnians had retreated before the Austrians, near-Lago(ur lake) Mag giore. The telegraph wires to Switzerland had been out by the Austrians. - The Austrians were concentrating in great numbers at the fortified city of Placenzi, in North Italy. Forty thousand French troops were at Genoa. The King of Sardina accompanies Generals Canrobert and Neill, on the line of opera tions on the river Dora. The Prussian government had resolved to put her army in readiness to march. A great many -failures are reported in the Exchange in London. The Bank of Franae has raised its rates for discount from three to four per cent. The French Minister at Vienna, and the Austrian Minister at Paris, have retired from their respective posts. Four days Later from Europe. Sr. JousS, N. F., Maty 20.-.Tue steam s1hip City of Baltimore was to trded off Cape Race to-day by the yacht of the Associated Press. The steamer brings datta t1 the 11th inst., being four days later than previous ar r.vals. The salui of Cotton for three d:ta were 29,000 bales, with an advance of 3.ldths to id. The m arket; closed quiet and steady. There wai a considerable decline in bread stuf&s. Provisi.mns quiet and quotations nominal. No battle had been fought on the Conti nent, when the steamer left. The latest intelligence from the Austrian army seemed to give color to the opinion that the army was retrograding. The ma nceuvre, however, was not understood. Rome continued tranquil. A letter from Vienna, to the editor of the London Tima, says: " Turkey is on the eve of raising one hundrid and twenty thousand tuen, to be concentrated at Schumla." Tuis is a fortified city of European Turkey ; loca ted in a gorge, protected on three sides by mountains; and is on the great route frow Wallachia to Constantinople. The Russian, attempted in vain.to take Sohumla in 1774, 1810, and 1828, and it is probable Turkey apprehends another attack by the Russian& in 1859. A battle was hourly expected to take place between the belligerents in Sardina, but up to the sailing of the Causda, no actiun had been reported. -i Tie attempt of the Austriasto cross the river Po at Trassinto, was unsuccessful, af toi fifteen hours of cannonade. The loss was inconsiderable. They report having crossed the river at Cor-nate and were fortified at the heasd of the bridge. Trne Emperor N'apoleon haes officially an nounced that Austrian subjects, residing in France, can remain, but their conduct must be such as not to rendertheir expulsion neces sary. Ther London Daily Marsw says that France is about to mobilise, or call into active service, seven or eight hundred thousand men; and that the.French army of observation on the Rhine will be increased to five hundred thou sand. Austrian vessels arriving at French ports, ignorant of the existence of war, are allowed six weeks to remain in French waters. It is stated that Queen Victoria had sent. an autograph letter to the Emperor Napoleon, expres.ing her confidence in his strict honor, and that tie will not go one step further than he assured her sowne months ago, he would go. it was reported France was endeavoring to secure the neutrality of Prussia, promising not to form an army of observation on the Bhine, and to circumscribe the war to Italy. No battle had yet occurred in Piedmont. No material. change in the condition ot Itahian affairs had occurred since the depar ture of the Canada. Heavy continued rains have dampened the ardor of the belligerents, and stopped the progress of their marches. The Emperor and Prince Napoleon left for Genoa on the 10th of May. The Empress Eugonie had been proclaimed Regent of France. Much sickness prevails amnong the Austrian forces. The Sardinians were preparing a magnifi cent reception for Napoleon at Genoa. It was reported that Austria will soon have seven hundred and fifty tholisand troops. Proclamation of the Ksing of Sardinia. The following proclamation hia been ad dressed by Victor Emmanuel to his troops: " Soldiers f-Austria, who is increasing her armies on our frontier and threatens to invade our territory because here liberty reigns with order-because, not might, but concord and affection between the people and the Sover eign here govern the State-because the i.,ronns of oppressed Italy here find an echo --Austria dares to ask us, who are only arm ed in self-defense, to lay down our arms and submit to her clemency. " That insulting demand received the reply it deserved. I rejected it with c~ntempt. Soldiers, 1 tell it to you, convinced that you will take an insult to your King and your nation as an insult to yourselves. The an nouncement I make to you is the announce ment of 'war ! Soldiers, to arms! *"You will have to face an enemy not new to you. But if brave and disciplined you need not fesar the comparison, and you may .quote ,with pride the battles of G..tto, Pas trenga, Santa Lucia, Somma-Compagna, and even Custozza, where four brigades alone struggled for three 4ys against five corps d'armee. " I will lead you. We have made each other's acquaintance before this, on more than one occasion, in the heat of battles, when, fighting by the side of my magnamimous father, Ilhad opportunity to admire your courage. "1I am sure that on the fieldof honor and of glory you will maintain, even add to, your reputation for bravery. You will have for companions those intrepid soldiers of France, conqueRors in so many noted battles, who were your brethren in arms on the Tchernay, and whom Napoleon III., who Is always to be found where there is a just cause to defend or civilization to promote, sends generously to our assistance in numerous battalions. "March, then, confident in victory, and twine new laurels round your flag, that tri color, under the folds of which the elite of the youth of Italy is collected, and which in dicates to you that the &sk before you iq the Independence of Italy--that just aud holy work which will be your battle-cry. VreTna Exxxxuvzz,." Turin, April 27. In addition to the proclamation addressed to the army, the King of Sardinia has issued a proclamation, countersigned by Count Ca your, to Italy. The substance is as follows. " Austria, who boasts of her love for peace, attacks us by refusing to submit to a Euro pean Congress. She violates the promises naleto England; she isks us to reduce our atny, and to abandon those brave volunteers who have thronged from every part of'italy to defend the sacred flag of Italian indepen dence.

I did not 9 appropriate to myselt' one ineh of his territo- u ry. L eneroached on no right which belongs 9 to the crown of ~Sardinia, as one of the mem- c bers of the European family of nations. I 9 insisted on no guarantees against the recur rence of similar events. The hand of peace a which I in all sincerity extended, and which s was taken, appeared to me to be a sufficient c 'uarantee. The blood which my army sied c for the h.lnor and right of Aust ria I ,sacrified on the altar of pea,:e. The reward ihr suc. I unexampled forbearance was ar hnt-diate I continuation of enmity, which increased from I year t.> year, and perfi-lious agitation at t t reptae and welfare of my Lombardo-Vene- v tan king..::n. Well knowing w'at a lpreious t boon peace was for my peoplo and for & arope, I patiently bore with these new hos- a tilities. My patience was not exhausted t waen the tilore extensive me-Lure., which I was forced to tely, in consequence of the t revolutionary agitrvion on thp frontiers of ny t Italian provinces and within satpe, wprp pade I a a excuse for a higher degree of hostility. < Willinglv acceptiug the well meant mediation I of friendly powers for the maintenance of 4 peace, I ceansented to become a party to a Congress of the five great powers. The four i p.ints proposed by rue royal government of a Geeat Britain as a basis for the deliberations I of the Congress, were forwarded to my Cabi- I net, and I accepted thei, with the conditions i which were calculated to bring about a true, a sincere and durable peace. In the conacious ness that no atep on the part of my govern- I mnt could. even in the moxt remote degree, lead to a disturbance of the peace, I demand- I e- that the power which was the cause of the I complication and had brought the danger qf a war, should, as a preliminary measureidisarm. i Being pre,qed thereto by friendly powers, 1 at length accepted the proposal for a general disarnamitent The tmediation failed in conse- I quence of the unacceptableness of the condi tonsr on which Sardinlia made her con~sent de-. pendent. Only one means of maintaiining a peace remained. I addressed myself directly to the Sardinian Governent, and suammoned 1 it to place its army on a p--ace footing and to< disband the free corpsa. A.

I T am aware of the vast importance Qf the measure, and if ever my duties as a muonarchb' weighed heavily on me it is at this moment.J War is the scourge of maukind. I see with I sorrow that the lives and property of thon- I sands of my subjects are imperilled, and I deeply feel what a severe trial war is foer my realm, which, being occupied with internal development, greatly requires the continuance of peace. But the~heart of the monarch must be silent at the comniaand of honor and duty. On the frontier is an armed enemy, who, in 1 alliance Writh the revolutionary party, openiy I announqes his intention to obtain poas.wion I of the dependencies of Aus:ria in Italy. To ' support him, the ruler over' France--whot under futile pretexts interferes in the legallya established relations of the Italian P..ninsula t -has set his troops in mtovevent. Detach- t meats of them have already crossed the fron tiers of Sardinia. The crown which I re ceived without.r-pot or blemish from nmy fore-r fathers has alreaedy seen trying timles. The glorious history of our country gives evidencet that Providence, when there is a foreshadow- c ing that t:,e gratest good of humanity is in e danger of being overthrown in Europe, h~as r frequently used the sword of Austria in or-i der to dispel that shadow.

The French Manifesto.W Sta: The communicntion which has been made, by order of his Imperial Majesty, to the Senate and to the legislative body, ren drs it needless for me toa revert to incidents t which hive occupied public opinion for some ci weeks past,, and have been the subeject of my h last despatches. The gravity of tiae present ~ state of aff'airs has r~eac a culmlinatlll . point, andl the denwwlne hefore urs will naot. unhappily, be that which honest anal persever-. ig efforts have endeavored to obtain. In suchu a serious conjuncture it is a great conrsolation um to the Emperor's governmenat to be able to submit without hesitation to the verdict of Europe the question as to on what power the it responsibility of events resta. That the state of things in Ttaly was ab normal, that the discontent and underhand pr agitation which resulted therefrom constito- an tod a danger for ever y one which reason bid de o be stopped by a prudent precaution ; an th nevitable crisis was understood equally by F~ England, Prussia and Russia, as well as by Ie Erance. The unanimity of apprehensaions imn rediately created the confirmity of senti- at menta and measures. Lord Cowley's mission in o Vienna, the proposal of a Congress, emana- co ang from St. P~etersburg, the support given pr sy Prussia to these attempts at an arrange- wi nent, the eagerness of Franiceto adhere to th ;he combinations which followed each other to ip to the last moment ; all these acts, in a sit vord, emnanated from the same inspiration-.. tb t.e a... an~d j desire to mnannant. a. ace by no longer ignoring a difficulty which evidently threatened to disturb it. - In this piase of the affair, the Emperors wvernment has had its share of initiative d action; bt thi4 share-I am particular stating it-hrs always been mixed up with :ollective hlbor. France simply offered her -operati n as a great European power to ttle amnichaly uanid honestly with the other Pwer- a question which-I do not deny it .tied her symnpathies; but in which Ae d not yet perceive particular duties to ful %ar urgent inutrests to dfend. The day pan n-hiei ti Vi ienna Cabinet had proinised, Ia solmotn sleclaration. not to cbim1ence Isiilities. it seeied iteelf to anticiepate the tita-le wmnch any aggressive act amainst ie:Inonmt won d cause the government of the mperor to assume. . Such an aitirance, by giving time to the ediation of the powers to exert itself, al wed the hope of the proximate meeting of ie Congress. In fact, England had just set ed, with the aisent of France, Prussia and assia, the last, conditions for the meeting of tat assemably where the place which justice id rea.on assi;:nied to the Italian States was -auted to them. Sardinia. on her part, ad red to the principle of a simultaneous and 'evious di.-armament of all the powers which, r some time past, had increased their 'mili 6ry strength. To these tokens of peace, Ie Vienna Cabinet suddenly opposed an act -ich, to characterize it as it deserves, is 1-ivalent to a declaraLtign of war. Thus Austria destroys alone, and with in int, the earnest labors of England, seconded > honestly by Russia and Prussia, facilitated 'itti so much moderation by France. Not nly does she exclule Sardinia from the Con ress; she -summonq her, under penalty of iercion, to disarm without any condition *ithin three days. A larger tuilitary force is displayed at the tme time on the banks of the Ticino, and, to ty the truth, it is in the midst of an advan. ing army that the Austrian commander-in hief awaits the reply (-f the Paris Cabinet. You are aware, sir, of the impression pro ueed at Loudou, Berlin and St. Petersburg y the untimely an.1 fatal resolution of the ienna Cabnet. The astonibment and dis pporoval of the three powers was displayed s a protest whicn public opinion has echoed broughout all Europ If England, Prus.ia and Russia, by the tep they hastened to take, have been able u relieve thu'r moral responsibility and to atisfy tie exactions of their offended digni y, the government of the E:nperor-actua ed, however, by analagous considerations ad to mark its attitude more distinctly, and ther obligations were imposed upon it. Jothing rnoies the solidarity which was stablisned 4t the PoRnimoqrpgeppt lhetreen us nd the mediating powers I the question re Wuns at bottom the same; but we have too aucu coutidence in the intentions of which hose powers have given us such striking iroofia to fear for a moment that they should uisunderstand the sense of the policy which ,ncient traditions and iiperious necessities of eugraphical positiun so naturally indicate France, since half a century, has never pre ended to exercise an interested influence in taly, and it is not she, assusedly, who can be ccused of having attempted to arouse the emembrance of ancient struggles and histori al rivalities. All that she has hitherto aak 4 for, and treaties agree with her wishes, is hat the States of tie (Italian) Peninsula hould live for themselves and manage their wn affairs at home as well as in their foreign elationsi. I am not aware that a different iew is taken at Iondon, Berlin, or St. Peters burg than at Paris; however it may be, ircuinstances have placed An.stria towards lhe various powers of Italy in a position un *nimnously judged as preponderating. Sardinia alonie has hitherto escaped an in Luence which, by general consent, has changed u ain liportant yortion of Europe the balance if power which it was attempted to establish. Everywhere plse this fact was very grave; mt whatever were our private sentimient., it night suffice for us, knowing the opinions of he other Cabineta, to point out to thenm the ivil to correct, So much reserve, when Sardiniais concern d, would be to forget our most essential in. erests. It is not the eonformation of the round which, on this side, commands one of he frontiers of Frapc; the passes of the tIps are not in our hands, and at is more ima ortant for us that. the key should be kept at 'urin, and at Turin onily. French consideras ions, but which are also european consider ions as long as respect of the rights and of he legitimate interest of the powers will con inue to serve as a guide to their reciprocal elations-..ttise considerations, [ say, do not Ilow thte Emperor's Government to hesitate pon the ine of policy it ought to follow ben a State so conasiderable as Austria uses breatenigg language towards Piedmont, and penly prepares to dictate laws to it. This bligation acquires additional force from the efusal of Austria to discuss before acting. Ve do not wish at any price to find ourselves ice to face with an accomplishing fact, and is such fact which the Government of the 'nperor is resolved to prevent. It ist not, Lieretore, an offensive 'attitude, it is a mneas re of detence which we are now adopting. Ancient remeombrances, community of rigin, a recent allia- ce of the sovereign ou.,es, unite us to S ardinia. These are serious ussons for sympathy, which we fully appre ate, but which, perhaps, would not suffice decide us. What distinctly points ont onr it I is the permanent ainel heredlitary iter t of F~r.mece., the abs.olute imupo~sibility foar ic Empjeror's Governnit to allow a b~low a be struck which woauld etalish ait the Jps, contrary toa Ihe wishe<s of a ti-iendly nit en and to the wi-lh of it5 sovereign. a state tinigs which would subject the whole of taly to a foreign influence. His Imperial Maje-ty, strictly faithful to me words which he pronounced when the rench peoiple recalled hinm to the throno of ac ohief of hiis dyuiasty, is not animated by iy personal amubition or desire of conquest. is not long since the Emperor gave a proof, aita European enisi<, that moderation was the mii of-his policy. That mode at ion siill pre cdes over his designs, and, while shielding e interest which Providence has entrusted him, his Majesty has no ideta, you may ost positively assert it, of separating his owat from thoe of his allies. Far front it, a government, referring to the incidents hich have marked the negotiations of ths eeeeding weeks, entertains the firm hope uat the Government of Her Britannic Majes will continue to persevere in an attitude hieh, by uniting by a moral bond the policy the two countries, wilt allow the Cabinets Paris and of London to give mutual expla tions without reserve, and to combine ac irding to eventualities, an entente destined preserve the Continent from the effects of ruggle which may arise at one of its ex emities. Russia, we are perfectly convinced of it, ill be always .ready to direct her efforts to e same end. As regards Prussia, the ima artial and, at the same time, conciliating it it of which she has given proof since the mnmenicemnent of the crisis, is a sure guar-an e of her Inclination to neglect nothing to rcumusenbe the explo.,ion. We sincerely ape that the other awers which form the 'mrman Confederation will not allow thema lvea to be led astray by the rememabrances a different epoch. France can only behold th sorrow the exciteumont which las seized on some States of Germany. She does not derstand how that great country ordinari so calm and so patriotically imbmed with e knowledge of its strength, should fancy safety menaced by events, the theatre of sich must remain far from ats territory. The Emperor's government is therefore ra to believe that the statesmen of Gecr moy will soon admit that it depends a grant1 al upon themselves to contribute to limit e extent and the duration of a war which ance, if she has to take part in it; has at Lst the consciousness of not having provoked. I request you, sir, to point out the consider-a ons developed in this despatch in your next erview with M. --, and to leave him a py. The clear language in whtch I now ex sea myself by the Emperor's orders, and mich implies his Majesty's wish to give to s other cabinets every possible guarantee bring them to a true appreciation of the tration, and re-assure them, in so much as 'y ar cloerned as to then 001 en51ce, I i ti tmntar n, ma .o annaist .

Cause. The Sabbath School Celebration, intended for -Thursday last, was postponed on account of the duclemency of the weather. It is contemplated, as -ye learn, to carry it 'out at some early day,-pro bably in the month of June. This should be done by all means. Our Suuday schools are becoming institutions which all of us should be eager to ap plaud and honor. In our several Churches -the work is progressing with spirit and energy. The 3aptist school numbers about one huand,ed and tten ty ; the- Methodist some sixty or seventy; and the Episcopal school is also carefully fostered. Besides those for. white children, all the denomi nations have schools for the blacks which are in a highly flourishing condition. And, taken all together, they form a manifestation of religious -progress which every good citizen,-not -to say Christian,-should delight in encouraging by his approbation, if iot by his active participation. The spreading power of Sabbath school ingu ences ranks high among the indications which betoken the coming of that era wherein the powers of darkness shall fall discomfited before the pre valence of that wisdom which cometh from above. Never before were these influences so extensive or blessed with such abundant fruits. Throughout the Protestant world this noble cause is awaken Ing all classes and all seats to earnest exertion in the propagation of evangelical truth. The labors thus called forth are redoubling in eflicacy with every succeeding year. True it is, that wicked ness of the most revolting kind still stalks abroad amongst men; But it is also true, that Religion is lifting up her fair banners with now zeal, and the -helmets of her soldiery are glittering on every side with unwonted brightness. Who knows but that the Host of Heaven is already marshalling its pre parations for the last grand battle with the Great Enemy? Many wise and good there are, who regard the supposition in accordance with the light of ?rophoy, so far asman may discern it. If so, does not the Sabbath School deserve to be esteemed one of the prime rallying points on earth for those who would " come up to the help of -the Lord against the mighty?" The rebel-spirits may well tremble atits Increase. The Arch-Trai tor of them all may find in it one of the most certain signs of his approaching downfall. We surely cannot be mistaken in terming It an in strumentality which Heaven's King is rapidly advancing to qucceg for goine gret cad. Is it not ra igls 19 gay, thgt it is at least a highly im portant tributary of that great tide of glory which shall continue henceforth to deepen, and expand, and gather force, until the knowledg' of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Viewed in this light, who will refuse his applause to the success of the Sabbath School? Who does not wish its laborers God-speed In their noble work ? Who would not join in honoring and ex alting the cause ? Who would not aid (if he might) in swelling the triumphant chorus of this advan cing solumn of the church militant, until itsgrand crescendo should pervade the four quarters of the -globo with the universal hymn of "Peace on earth--Good WW toteards nen."

The up-country papers announce the death Of Hon. DANsm. WALLACri of Union,-which event occurred at his residence in that District on the 15th instant. GZXZRAL WALLACe was a self-made man, as the term goes, and led a life of singular energy and usefulness. Suedessful in his early days as a merchant, he afterwards rose to eminence in politics and in the military. He was often a member of the State Legislature, and served oie or two terms In Congress with high acceptability to the spirited people of the old Pinckney District. But for his declining health, it is probable that he would have been honored with the office of Gover nor, as a crowning compliment to a devoted eltisn and an ardent lover of his native State. He was ever censpleuous for his enthusiasm in the common cause of States and Southern Rights,-.a Nullifier in 1832, a Secessionist in 1851, and on all ocessiouis ready to uplift his manly voice on the side of his honest convictions. Yet was he generous and considerate towards his opponents, while bold and resolute in the maintenance of his principles. The Spartanburg .ERpreas truly says: In his death, the State has lost a warm-hearted and devoted son; the South, a bold snd uncotp promising defender of her rights; his family Is agot ifP01tiont0 and loyjno han4g4 fathk.

Ileavy Rains- -Serious Damages.' Within the last week or two, this part of time country has been visited by very heavy rains. Generally, they hare been fraught with great good to the planting Interests. But there are some neighborhoods wich have been considerably inju red by the sternis. Srogi seysral portIons of this distriet, we seeive accounts of disasters from this cause. The young cotton has In a few locglities been battered and destroyed by hail, necessitating the work of thorough re-planting; while in other places the winds and washing rains have played havoc with the soil. The oat-crop, though, lifts up Its blades in rejoicing; and corn too exults in the result. Generally, we repeat, the fall of rain has been a blessing,-as the crops will speedily vince. Dr. Mi. J.

AUGUSTA, May 20. .COtto.-A partial panic prevails at present in ,he cotton trade, in consequence of the doubtful extent and :duration of the difficulties between Austrla and Sardinia and France. Those difficul ties hare cauked a serious decline in the public runds of those coutries. incidentally affected the rdue of the consolidated funds of England, and un settled financial confidence throughout Europe. Such a condition of affairs materially interferes with commercial prosperity, and the cotton trade is the first to feel its blighting influence. -At Liv erpool, cotton has declined, from Its highest point, about I@1d., (equal to about one and a half cents of our currency,) while in this country cotton has declined fully two cents on some grades, and from two to three cents on other grades. It appears, then, in the United States, that the apprehended injury to the value of cotton bas been fully dis rounted, if the decline here does not have the ef feet of causing a still greater decline In Liverpool. In this market, to-day, cotton may be regarded as irregular in price, and In an unsettled condition. We hear of lots classing Middling offered at 101 cents, and buyers at 10* cents. The highest pri ces offered for Middling Fair are from 101 to 10J cents, according to condition of bales, quality of cotton, &e. The trade, however, may be said to be at a stand. Prorivion.-Thre -is a speculative feeling in the provision trade, and prices hare recently im proved. We quote for Clear Tennessee Sides 121 cents, and for Tennessee Shoulders 9@9J cents. Western Ribbed Sidel sell from 111 to 12 cents, and Shoulders 9@9J cents. Lard is firm at from 13 to 14 centi, according to quality and quantity. Breadstuffe.-All commodities in the breadstuffs line have advanced, andi are held at firm and full prices. Superfine Flour sells from $7 50 to $8 00. Wheat ranges from $110 to $1 50. Corn is firm at $1@$1 05. Rice is firm at 5@5& cents, at wholesale. Grocerie.-Rio Coffee Is steady at from 12 to 13 cents; Laguayra 13J@14; and Java from 17 to 20 cents V, lb.

A cordial welcome awaited him -wherever he was known. He was honest and confiding, and ever believed that his friend could do nothing wrong.
