WITAT!VCR may be the personal composition of the Ministry about to be formed, the country will look rather to the principles which are tabs asserted is its formation than to the tweets of elaborate attempts to combine hitherto discordant ingredients in nicely balsoced proportions. We are not disposed to join in the hypocritical litany wherein personal feelings and preferences are set down among the poli tical plagues from which the spirit of patriotism is prayed to deliver us. We should be very sorry to see the day when, under the plea of uncelfishitem, any set of men would find it reputable to unite with any other for the mere sake of office. Ou the contrary, we infinitely pre for the self-respectful temper in public men that leads them to weigh well the consequences of enter ing into intimate combinations with others from whom they have previously differed on important matters of opinion; end if, after calm reflection, therecurreoce of such differences seems probable, we own that we respect the men all the more if on such grounds they disinterestedly decline the distinction of eminent trust and station. To the vigour of ad ministration, unity of main purpose and cohesion of elements where the strain is most likely to come, are essential. It is the absence of these characteristics that renders coalitions so objec tionable. But combinations of men of dif ferent Ousts and different antecedents holding substantially the same opinionr, and swayed ha bitually by similar party feelings, are not to be °ou tmoded with coalitions to clutch at power in com mon, without the possibility of using it for any com mon object. Fellow-travellers who have assembled for their journey by convergent paths may get on to gether very well ; but no wisdom of man can amigo • useful end to the packing of a number of gentle- men into the same Cabinet if beforehand they cannot agree as to the way they want to go. Let this obvious truth be borne in mind when we hear, as wo may possibly hear within the present week, of offices having been offered to men who may decline it on the score of incompatibility of views. We quite admit that the incompatibility ought to be plait, end broad, and that men who have borne a share in the overthrow of an existing Government are bound to do their best to emirs a better for the country in its stead. All we mean to insist on is that they may do so more effectually by waiving claims of perms& ambition than by rashly waiving repugnance, of sentiment on vital questions. This is one side of the matter; but there is another. Those who may be entrusted with the teak of form ing a Ministry have a perfec' right to seek for homo geneity of opinion in the selection of material to compose i.. If they narrow their test of conformity within certain bounds, they are man likely to pay the penalty of their intolerance and folly, and they may be safely left the liberty of doing so at their peril. Bat as be tween men of different classes, then• have no right to hesitate. The prestige of elm. exclusion is dead ; the once haughty privi:ege of birth and wealth is no more. What used to be the exercise of • time honoured prerogative of social rank, if now to be revived, would be rejected and spurted as a fraudu lent usurpation. The nation has got beyond that, and will consent to parley about it no more. The aristocratic jalousies of government have been taken off their hinges, and sent to be broken up foe historic fire-wood. We don't envy the impudent meddler who would try to set them up again. We will hare no more of the darkening and deadening system. The country has made up its mind to the representative peinciple in the composition of the Executive as well as in the Legislature. It does not profess to dictate as to individuals; but it will insist upon all classes being treated aa alike eligible, end all pursuits being treated as equally entitled to hare its foremost men admitted to the councils of the Crown, provided they are qualified by ability, cultivation, and worth. To the credit of Lord Denny it will ever be remembered that in this re spect he showed from the outset a desire to comply with the national will. His cabinet had other grievous faults, but exclusiveness was not one of them; and it is a tribute to its memory we cheerfully pay when we say that throughout all the depart ments the sane spirit of fair play to plebeian talent and character was strikitiqly manifested. We will moreover add our persuasion that to this cir cumstance in no small degree was owing the for- beginner long shown to the late Government on many trying occasions, and the degree of support it obtained so far as was possible from the pros.. Ito that as it may, however, the precedent has now been frilly and fairly set ; the principle of progre.a has, in this essential requisite of constitu tional life, been thoroughly established; nod no administration his henceforth • c►ance of prolonged existence that does not largely and liberally re 'nano it. The poultice pledges given by the Whig chiefs, at the public ineetieg of the Liberal party recently held at Wi ROOOl6, leave no room to doubt their personal dispoeitios in this all•importaat matter. Bat he can know little of political history who over- ooks the difficulties and temptations that beset men who are called upon to form a Government. From the hour they receive the command of her ht IJCSTV to undertake the task until in all its details it is kismet to be completed, they are besieged by applicants of high degree and low capacity, insatiable of public profit oo which they have been bred to gorge, and sycophants of mak and intriguers of quality, aft wanting something, either title, place, or prefer men', sod each miming, or fancying be pose/sees, more or Ir.a of the hereditary means of showing re sentm,•nt it hie importunity be unheeded. Amid thecla moor of t hese noble cormorants the claim of worthier pars orlon. is liable le be forgotten, because it is comparatively seldom heard. But the eminent statesmen, who, in the present cue, are consulted by the Sovereign as to the constitution of a new Exeter tive, will comprehend the necessities of the situation and prove themselves superior to old prejudices and new embarrassments. They will, we trust, shone that, while their foreign and domestic policy is more in unison with the wishes of the nation than that of their predecessors, their sense of administrative justice and equality is not less so. They will neither submit, let us hope, to be worried or flattered into shipping an incompetent crew. They will make nomination/ to office their first appeal to the judg ment of the country ; and if those nominations shall be found to contain the fair proportion of middle elan intelligence, energy, and experience which the highly developed condition of those classes naturally demands, they will have opened their campaign successfully. They will disdain all shirking of the principle we have been contending for. If health, pre-oocupation, peculiarity of views, or any other circumstance, prevents this man or that from accepting office, instead of treating it as so much additional prey unexpect edly regained for the harpies of exclusion, t►ey will gladly find in it the opportunity of proving the sincerity of their conversion to popular right by offering it to some other though possibly less pro- minent man of commeroe, science, or letters. We can never consent to listen to the insulting pretence that such men are not to be found. They are always to be found when they are sincerely sought for ; and the community that has achieved in arts and arms what ours has done, will no longer submit to be questioned as to its abundant competency to govern itself. THE EXPRESS MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, Mt THE WAR IN ITALY. The Monsteur of to-day contains the following telegram: " MILAN, JON■ 12. " A part of the French army hes pared the river Adda without striking a blow. In the hurry of their retreat from Piacenza the enemy abandoned a great number of cannons end magazines full of provisions and ammunition." "TURIN, II:NE 12. " A telegraphic despatch from Bologna announces that the Austrians have evacuated that town." THE FRENCH EMPEROR TO THE PEOPLE OF LOMBARDY. The following proclamation has been published at Milan, and in yesterday's Noniteur : . . " The fortune of war has conducted me to the capital of Lombardy. Let me tell you why lam here. " When Austria unjustly attacked Piedmont, I resolved to sustain the King of Sardinia my ally. Tee honour and interests of France made this my duty. " Year enemies, who are my enemies, have en• deavoured to diminish the sympathy which exists throughout all Europe for your cause, by trying to persuade the world that I am carrying on this war only for personal ambition, or to aggrandise the territory of France. o lf there are men who do not rndentand theta epoch, I am not of the number. " In the enlightened state of public opinion which prevails, men are greater by the moral influence which they exercise than by barren conquests, and this moral influence I seek after with pride in con tributing to emancipate one of the most beautiful parts of Europe. " Your reception has already proved to me that you have understood me. Ido not come here with any preconceived plan to dispossess sovereigns, nor to impose my own will upon you. My army will only occupy itself with two things:—To combat your enemies and to maintain internal order. It will place no obstacle in the way of a free manifestation of your legitimate wishes Providence sometimes favours nations like individuals in giving them ocouion to rise suddenly to greatness ; but it is on condition that they have the virtue to profit by it. Profit then by the fortune which is offered you, Your desire of independence, so longexpressed, so often deceived, will be realised if you show yourselves worthy of It. Units then for one sole object, the enfranchisement of your country. Seek military organisation. Hasten all of you to place yourselves under the flog of King Victor Emmanuel, who hey already so nobly shown you the path of honour. Remember that without discipline there is no army, and animated with the sacred fire of patriotism be nothing to-day bat eol diets. To-morrow you will be free citizens of a great cooltry. " Done at the Imperial quarters, at Milan, the Bth of June, 1859. " NAPOLEON." The following address by the Emperor Napoleon to the French army has been posted at the Paris Bonne, and appeared in the Momileur of yesterday : Soidiera—A month ego, confident In efforts of diplomacy, I still hoped for the minimums of peace, when suddenly the invasion of Piedmont by the Austrian troops called as to arm. We wire not reedy. Men, homes, materiel, and supplies were wanting, and we had, in order to assist our allies, to pass In small divisions beyond the Alps before an enemy formidable and prefaced beforehand. The diner was groat; the eners,/ of the na tion and your courage supplied all ; France has again found her old virtues, and rained in one feeling and for one object, it has shown the power of her resources and the strength of her patriotism. It is ow only tan days since operation. commenced, sad the Piedmont** territory has been already cleared of its invaders. The Oiled army has fought four combats, and gained a decisive victory, which hes opened to it the gates of the capital of Lombardy. You have put more than 3.5,000 Auatriene lives do combat, taken seventeen cannon, two colours, and 8,000 pilasters; but all is not terminated; you will have more struggles to rapport and obstacles to overcome. I rely on you. Cowage, then, have soldiers of the srmy of Italy; your forefathers from above contemplate you with pride. Given at head-quarters, Milan, Bth June. A despatch u follows from the Major-General t) the Minister of War appears aho in yesterday's Moniteur : Undo:, 3=9 9. After the victory of Magenta, the Austrians made a preci pitate flight from Milan, luring in the citadel 41 bream cannons, a great quantity of ammunition, end pruldans abundance, retreating towards Lodi and Pavia. Oa the Bth, hie Majesty the Emperor gave orders to Marshal Ban• guq d'Hilliers to occupy the poaitions of Malaysia° (Ma rignano), from whence we menaced at the same time two of the retreating columns of the enemy, but the Auatrians, who fully comprehended all the importance of holding Melegneno to cover their retreat, taking advantage of I the remains of the fottiticationi surrounding the town, had strongly ban:ceded the/wolves therein. Marshal &repay d'Hilliers, who arrived before the place at four o'clock, immediately gave orders for the attack in front by the divisions of Helaine and Admitault, whilst at the sense moment the division of General Fogey was ordered to tura the place. The battle lasted at lent three hones. The enemy in pried a most energetic resistance to the axis of our soldier., and were dislodged only by the bayonet from entrenchment to iserenchiseni, and iornhou.e to house, and only withdrew at seven in the evening, leaving the place covered with deed, and one of their cannons in our possession and about a thou/and prironws. This splendid result, how ever, has been dearly purchased, our lees amounting to 50 officers and 800 men killed end wounded. We learn at the moment that the Austrian+ have evacuated Pavia and Lodi, and reeroued the Adds, destroying the bridges. TSB MINISTERIAL CRISIS. RISIONATION OF MINISTERS. Tib Earl of DWI' and his colleagues have reeog- Bleed Is the division of Friday night the decisive answer to that appeal to their country and to Heaven with which they advised her MAJESTY to dismiss the lest Parliament. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday morning, at the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Downing•street. When it broke op Lord DZIBY waited on her MAJESTY at Buckingham Palace, and ten dered the resignation of the entire adminis- I tration. In the evening his lordship publicly 'referred to that event at a dinner at Mer chant nylon' Hall, and spoke of himself ea being out of office. In fact, the Qt . ZEN lied already sent for Earl URANSILLE, who had an audience of her MAJESTY in the course of the afternoon, and was invited by her MAJESTY to form a Government. It may be presumed that the noble lord could not see his way to the formation of a strong Govern ment, for after consulting various political friends, his lordship again saw the QuttN yesterday after noon, and shortly afterwards her MAJESTY sent for Lord l'stue•srme, who went to Buckingham Palace, end, we believe, undertook to form an Ad ministration. In the evening Lord PALMERSTON visited Lord Jolts RUSSELL., and also saw other of kis political friend'. Although it has often been affirmed of late that Is the first crisis of this kind which might arise Lord Cinmurtus would be sent for, the intelligence of the that mused considerable surprise in political aim's. Hie lordship is a nobleman of high character sod amiable manlier', and M deservedly respected by ell parties. But his is not the name which Ant suggests itself to the mind of an intelligent Englishman am he thinks of the skilful and flue stateemenship requisite is the present crisis; nee does his lordship represent the strength and clearness of those principles of poliey—and especially of foreign yolicy—which have triumphed in the late debate. A ministry formed by Lord GRANVILLE, were such • combination possible under existing circumstances, would he in danger of being regarded se formed rather in conformity with the personal predilections of exalted personages than with a view to parlia mentary opinion. A statement so positively affirmed, and so gene rally believed, yesterday, that we feel bound to take notice of it, was, that her llifaister had given the Order of the Garter to the Earl of DiEBY. We find considerable difficulty in believing this statement. Tbe bestowal of the order just now would look so like a coaster-demonstration in favour of a noble man whom the House of Common■ has just con demned, that we are bound to believe it has not been permitted to take place. The high rega:d which ber MAJESTY has hitherto shown for the principles and spirit of responsible government make it ex onedingly improbable that she has chosen the present time to shower great and rare favours upon a Mi nister from whom Parliament has withdrawn its confidence. THE NEW MINISTRY. (From th, Tom%) Tbs vote of Si urday morning left, as it seemed as chaos to the ministry of Lord Derby, however tenaciori Mei" mewl at the earliest remit& moment to place their emignatles In the hands of her Mijesty. The vote of want of osnlience was the molt not merely of a parliamentary hut of a national doliberarisn, end, being taken in a =neer mot offirentsgrove to ministers, constituted • defeat only the meta severe sod complete on that scooust. Nobody • therefore be ourptined to learn that at es early hoer an Saturday moivior the cabinet assembled, end ngreed I. place their resignation in the hands of the Quoin. The was dune, cud the fact of toe ministerlet isoliestica was formally gummed by Lord Derby at the banquet of the Merchant Taylors' Corepsey, at which emend of the ministers were present. Oa the efterman of Seturdey Lord Grenville received • summons from the Meson to wait upon her Majesty at Buckingham Pelage at 4 o'clock. We have name to believe that her Majesty, alter listening to ell lb. objections which Lord Granville had to offer, commuted him ts attempt to form an adminis. [ratios which should at once be etrong in ability end puha• mintory isfamme, and shcold et the none Vole comprehend within Well a fall sad fair repmeutation of all the sections Into which the liberal pa. ty has notoriously been divided. F. Meg, probably, that it nileht be nerd as an objection to thio course that Lord Granville, who has never 3et held the Aloe of prime minister, would thus be placid in a posi tion paramount to that occupied by Lord Palmerston sal Lord John Rewesll, who had each filled the office of Ifrat rural/tee of the mown, snd lel the Maid party is the Hoy . . of Columns, her Majesty was pleased to observe that she had, In the Ant %stance, tinned her thoughts tower& Lord Palmerston and Lord John Rus.ll, etch of wham had served her long and faithfully in many high oftim of state. Her Mersey felt, however, that to nuke so marked a distinction as is impli. 1 la the choice of one or other so a prime =intone of two statesmen so full of year. end honours, and posereabf; Inject a claim on the ormsideration of the 110110, would be • moot lovirlioun end unwelcome teak.

'welshed elsh Ude . oeuniasks,, Lad Granville waited van Lod Palmerston, awl eneemmileaeul be biro tbe Cow* al dm Queen. In the Madams." manner, and without ths alighlait hesitation, Lord Palmerston columned to waive whatever claims be might De supposed to have, and to act under Lord Granville ss Prime Minister. Lard Grenville then secured the co-operation of those statesman who appeared to kWo wan likely to form the mole= of e strong sad efficient . . . adadadetralien ; but in his first interview with Lord John Russell Lord Grenville found that Lord John was die posed to Waist upon conditions which would render any males or co.operation with Lord Pelmerston impossible, whether the government was prodded over by Lord Gran ville or any other perms. On a second interview with lord John Russell Lord Granville ascertained that, instead of being, as her Majeety clearly intended he should be, a meets of facilitating the union between Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston, his Premiership would only be an obstacle in the way of agreement, and that if Lord John Russell or Lord Palmerston were sent for an arrangement was will passible. Lord Granville immediately informed the Quin of this Mate of facts, and pointed out to her MejeMy that he would be really connteractlng her Majesty's wishes and intentions were he to continue hie effotte to perform the twit which the Queen had so gra ciously, sad at the same time eo unexpectedly, Imposed apes him. Upon being satisfied that thin was the case, the Queen sent for Lord Palmerston, who went ts Buckingham Palau at a quarter to Ma o'clock yesterday evening, and had Si aadisarse of her Majesty, which lasted for an her- and a half. Oa his return trom the palace, Lord Psimerston immediately set ant Om Itkilusead. to 000 fer with Lord John Russell. We have good mama to believe that Lord Palmerston will marceed in forming an administration which will command the Duped of the liberal party, and save them from the great disgrace with which they were at one moment threat en-d, of being unable, aftor the victory of Friday night, pro mised by the union of all sections of the liberel pr rty, to faun a liberal government.

The Russian government has immed a circular to all its representatives at foreign courts, explaining the views of Russia respecting the political situation of Europe, more especially as regards the attitude of Germany.

The line followed by some States of the Otrmen confederation tends, on the contrary, to generalise the struggle by giving it a character and pro portions which go beyond all human prev;sion, and which under any circumetancos, would lead toilsome:4 devastation, and would canna torronte of blood to be phi d. We can the lees understand this tendency as, indepen dently of the guarantees offered to Germany by the positive declarations of the French government, accepted by the great powers, and the very force of circumstances, the German Brat% thereby deviate from the fandsmentil basis which unites them. The German Confederation is a combination purely and exclusively dsfeneive. It it on that condition (4 ea titre) the ehe participated in the loternationel law of Europe, on the bases of treatise to which Russia's signature Is affixed. Now, no hostile act has beencommittee by Franosagainst the confederative, end there does not exist any obligatory treaty for the latter to attack that power. Should, consequently, the confederation take hostile meaeures towards Franco on conjectural data, and spinet which it hes obtsined more than ene guarantee, it would have falsified the object of its institution, and disowned the spirit of treaties upon which its existence rests. We oonfidently entertain the hop that the wisdom of the Federal governments wail set aside determinations which would tern to their prejudice, end would not contribute to strengthen their own position. If, which God forbid, it should happen otherwise, we shell at all events have fulfilled • duty of frank and einem friendship. Whatever may be the issue of the present com plications, the Emperor, oar august master, perfectly free in his action, will only be inspired by the interests of his country end tho dignity of his crown in the determinations which his Majesty will be called upon to take. GORTSCHAKOFF. St. Petersburg, 16th (27) May, 1669. BT. PETERSBURG. SATURDAY. The raralide Blase of to-day announces that the Russian government hu concluded a financial con vention with Messrs. Rothschild, through the medium of the commercial house of Kapherr and Co., of St. Petersburg. The details of the conven tion are not known. DEATH OF PRINCE MRITERNICH. A despatch from Vienna announces the death, on Saturday afternoon, of the venerable Prince Mot to nich. Clement Wesefales Metternich was born at Coblento on the 16th of May, 1773, sto that when he died he had completed hie 86th peer. Ms ancestors had been digits nnished in the ware of the empire against the Turks ; his family had given more than one elector to the Archbishoprics of Mayence and Troves; and hie father, the Count Metter nich, had obtained some reputation as a diplomatist and as the modals of Kannitz. At the age of Mk= Metternich entered the University of .Strasbourg, where ho had for his fellow-student Benjamin Constant, and from which, two years afterwards, he removed to Mayottee in order to com plete his studies. In 1790 he m ode hie Bret public appear ance as master of the corernoviee at the coronation of the Emperor Leopold II.; and to 1794, after • short Olt to England, be was attached to the Austrian strahe.sy at the Hague, in the following year marrying the helices of his father's friend Kaunas. Thus far he yea but serving his apprenticeship in diplomacy. He first came into notice at the congress of Reetadt, whore he represented the Welt phallan nobility, after which he accompanied Count Stadion to St. Petersburg, was (1801) appointed minister at the court of Dresden, then (1803-4) procceded as embrissdor to Berlin, where he took a leading part to the arrange ment of that well-known coalition which was dis solved by the battle of Austerlitz, and at length, after the pesos of Preaborg, was selected for the most important diploroatio appointment to the gt of the Emperor—that of Austrian Minister at the Court of Napoleon. The riettof the young ambassador had been unusually rapid, and the French Emperor greeted hiss with the remark—" You are very young to represent so powerful , • monarchy." "Your Majesty was not older at Austerlitz,'' replied Metternich. He massy d with so much ability that when the war broke out in 1809, and be had to return to the Austrian court, which was seeking refuge in the fortress of Comore, he was ap pointed to the ministry of foreign affrays sa the successor to Count Stadion. It was doting his tenure of °Mos that be struck out the ides of • marriage between Napoleon and en Atuesisa archduchess as • means of purchas'og a respite for the empire. He conducted the negotiations e tic Chempagny ; Napoleon was divorced from Josephine; and Metternich escorted Made Louise to Paris. It waa but en esp‘dient; it was • humiliating sacrifice, which corld n it be • permanent settlement; sad in 1813, after the great French catastrophe in Raisin, arm war again for molly declared by Austria against France. In the autumn Of that year the grand alliance was signed at Tceplita, sad on the field of Lelpzic, Metternich was faired to the dignity ola Prince of the Empire. In the subsequent conferences mad treaties the newly-crested prince to)k a very prominent part, and he signed the Treaty of Paris on behalf of Austria. Be afterwards paid a visit to thin country, and received the honour of a doctor's hood from the university of Oxford. When the Congress of Vies= was opened, Prince Met ternich, then In his 42ed year, vas assithnossly chosen to preside over its deliberations, and this presidency in the con• gram may be regarded u typical of an se:tniancy whioh, from this time, he exerted for many years is the seeks of Europe. A FRIEND OF APSTRTA.—The following para graph o -cure in a later just rei civet (roman English gentle loon at Turk., in • pillion to be correctly informed:— •• That the news of the 1111C0901118 'aimed by the allies, should have been regarded with extreme displeasure at the English .•ourt will surprise no one, but whet will surprise you is that our government has asked that of France why the Em, erne couil not be astietied w.th eapeldag the Austrians from she Sardinian territory. Why, tutted!

Whit-Sunday being one of the great holidays of the year, the printing offices of most of the journals are closed according to annual custom. The Pays alone of all the evening papers—tempted by the great demand for the news of the war—has made its appearance. It contains an article from M. Grimier de Cassagnac, who appears to have lately received some hints from a high quarter touching coming events. I subjoin an extract from this article : We said yesterday, Austria is really beaten, and Italy is free I But the famous qualrilateral P Alas I the Austrians already know the nine of their strategetical triangle of the Buis, the Gomy and the Ticino. The quadrilateral will not serve them in greater stead rlthough it hat one aide tba more; and all the geometry in the world will not prevail against good gene, justice, patriotism, and national dignity, represented in Italy by the Emperor, the King, and their eoldiem. One fact is already patent—ltaly I. free I But this is not all ; Italy will not be free alone; she will be regenerated. In recovering Independence she will recover order. The military spirit will reoonstitnie the political spirit, sad, realising the Em. perces words, Italians will learn the virtues of citizens by practising thole of soldier.. The Emperor will not oety have delivered Italy from the An Arians, he will have dr livered It from the spirit of agitation. There is the strength and the grandeur of his policy. • • • • It is not English parliamentarisna—a principle of struggled and agitation; it le not Austrian oompreetion—e nonce of humi liation and secret rancour, which can save European society which is now evidently stamped with the sigma which fore bode a corning crisis it is the affectionate and sincere alliance of sovereigns with the popular mamas, and the sub stitution of government for all, for government for mino rities; in other tenni, it in the revolution of 'B9, organised end directed by the empire. Prance, at two memorable periods, owed to these principles internal puce, atcurity, prosperity, and'elory. Italy is about to afford a third proof of their efficacy. In another paragraph M. de Cassagns.c again hints at the probability of • congress which he fore shadowed yesterday. But he now assumes that another great battle must take place first. He Bays: OW battle pined In the quedrileteral—and we confidently hope that Magenta ta will not wait long fee a glorious sister— and the irresistible pressure of Europe will forte Austria to make pears. _ _ _ I hear from another and a good source that a battle on the Adds may be shortly expected, and that the Emperor has left Milan to pursue his cam paign. There is no truth in the report that his Majesty proposes shortly to return to Paris. It is stated that the Treasury will deliver out stock receipts for the new loan and reimburse the surplus of the subscriptions on and after the 15th instant. This date is looked forward to with some apprehension on the Bourse, as it is feared that a good deal of new stock will be offered for sale, and will weigh heavily upon the market. A Milan letter, from Id. Dreolle, in the Con ititu ammo!, says that the Austrians had, at the time of their departure, specie to the value of eight or ten millions of franca, but that the sum found on the arrival of the French troops did not exceed 800,C00fr. or 1,000,000 fr. Some letters suggest that the Treasury was sacked by the populace, bat Id. Dreolle thinks that the Austrians took moat of their money away. The only wonders that they should have left any behind them. A Naples letter of Jane 7 tells the following story, which I tbMk most be received with " reserve," of the young king's reception of Monsieur de Hubner. The Austrian ambrseador had scarcely begun to talk politics when Francis 11. interrupted him, saying, " Baron, you ought to see Pompeii." M. de Hubner replied that lie already knew the ruins very well. "Then; said the King, "I should recommend you to pass a few days at Costellamare: it is a most agreeable summer residence." The mot has been extensively circulated as conclusive evi dence of the King's sincere neutrality. UNITED STATES. (IT BRITISH AND IRISH MACINSTIC TILIDILAPI.) (raox ova OWN COMIPONDINT.)
