The French, meantime, are marobing to
the aid of the Sardinians, by the two dotted
linee. Those who have eome by eea are land
ing at Genoa, and pushing up to reinforoe
the lioe on the Po. Those who have come
over tho Alps aro pressing forward from Su
ea to reinforce the line on the Dora. As
both points are connected with Turin bv rail
way, the transit is easily made, while the
Austrians have the disadvantage of being in
an enemy'e oountry,. where roads will be
blooked, bridges burned, fields flooded, and
everything done to retard them. It looks
eomewhat eeif the easy victories which have
given the Austrians oontrol of a quarter of
the kingdom, were only a trap to oatoh them
between two lines of troops, and orueh them.
