Minister of- .'the.- War - Department, to take _pc • cial note of this perfection of ali the. arrangements made for the equipment and transport of i the French army—the very opposite of the. muddle and confusion that prevailed at Balaclava. Military men may learn from this Italian campaign some new lessons in the art of fighting.

The second leader of the Times relates to Kossuth's departure for Hungary, and -General Klappa's .proclamation. • Statements issuing from the' head-quarters of the French army intimate that the War will not be confined to Italy.
