Tue open conference of Liberal Members of the Opposition, which took place yesterday, has more than realised the hopes that were entertained re garding it. We do not allude so much to the num bers assembled, or to the general unanimity that prevailed on the occasion, as to the heartiness and soundness of tone which characterised nearly the whole of the proceedings. Two or three dissentients there were indeed from the policy of the Amendment about to be moved to-day in the House of Com mon' on the Address; but they served only to mark more distinctly the predominance of dif ferent sentiments and of other feelings than those to which they gave utterance. Two hun dred and seventy gentlemen, comprising nearly every man of parliamentary experience and distinc tion on the Liberal side, concurred in declaring their determination to vote on the earliest possible oppor tunity that the present advisers of the Crown do not possess the confidence of the country; and many whom accidental circumstances prevented from being present intimated by letter or otherwise their readi ness to assent, when called upon, to that proposition. As we expected, it seemed to be understood on all hands by those who took part at the meeting yester day, that before any large body of members in oppo sition made up their minds to give a vote calculated to entail • change of Government, they must be assured unequivocally th►t all personal feuds and sectional jealousies were at an end, and that the policy of future Cabinets formed under Whig leader ship would be both anti•exclusive aa to men, sad promptly progressive as to measures. Both Lord JOHN Itc ,, r.u. and Lord Prat MERSTON stated folly their readiness to accept office upon these conditions, Nothing could be more frank or honourable than the declaration of the former, that should the latter be celled on to form a ministry he was prepared to co-operate unreservedly with him ; and. at the audible suggestion of Lord Pctsertivro:4, he added amid the cheers of all present, that he was authorised to say on the part of his noble friend that should their positions in that respect be reversed, he would receive a like aseiatanos and support from him. It was candidly admitted by both that unless the differeot shades of opinion in the party were fairly represented is the Administration, it would be vain to *seen any claim of pre-eminence over their Conser vative rival,. Oa this point Mr. BRIGHT did good service by disclaiming manfully any desire to impose open the more moderate section extreme opinions for which they were not prepared. The duty of • Cabinet, professing to carry out truly the ideas and opinions of the party in general, was to show equal respect and regard for all; but en r, proposals for legislation to embody what he eM:ed the averagesentialentsof theP•rty.lle loeist(4, how, ye?, on demanding publicly from Lord Join whether It MU to be understood that be meant to adhere folly to the propositions for Electoral Reform stand by him at the close of the last Perlis mect ' It is ►lmo•t superfluous le say th•t the reply Mail in he aeirmative. Lord I'll IIER•70:1.4 explanations referred chiefly to fvrcign policy. He professed himself to be sincerely anxious to preserve the neutrality of England in the present war, and to be rumble to foresee any reasonable probability or just.ticatim of this coarse being departed from. He added, with characteristic boldness, how ever, that if any danger existed it lay in the direction of a possible misunderstanding with France—a cireameaDne which he characterised as the most unfortunate i r lint could betel the prosperity of England and the wc:fare of the world. To /weft such a calamity he had ' 3l3 g anz•ow.lT striven, and whether in cffi-vv or in opp.vition he should always do so. He declared his sympathy to be on the aide of Italian freedom in the impendig straggle, though be felt it wee neither the deity, iwr the policy of England to interpose by arms. The candour of the noble Viscount's vigorous expressions on this subject became the text for a brief but bitter invective from Mr. Rotarot, who voss followed by Mr. LINDSAY and Mr. HOLIMAN ;n a more qualified strain of dis sent. It was evident that there was but a faint and partial rteponse to their ohj€ctions on the part of the meeting, which was as nearly of one mind apparently us any assembly of the kind we have bad in our time. Mr. Serjeant Dean repu diated on the part of the majority of Catholic mem bers any disposition to turn Tory; and if we are not greatly misinformed the division list of Friday or Sa turday morning will make good the honourable and learned member's words. Meantime, let us own that he acted a friendly and judicious part in stating plainly the difficulties of the position occupied by liberal and enlightened representative, of Catholic constituencies. It is clear that if the popular party on the other side of the Channel is to be once more re-united in feeling with Liberals in this country, a very different system of administrative policy must be pursued from that which during the last ten rare has alienated and disgusted good men. This is not the time for reproaches ; it is a time to forgive and to forget; but we have long felt what we now say unequivocally, that a change of persons and of practices in the Irish Government, reaching much further than a mere substitution of Whigs for Tories, is indispensable, if Ireland is to be regained to the side of liberality and progress. IHR EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENINCt, JUNE 7, 1.859. At the clam of the speech, which her Msyeety read with her usual dhanctnees, ranging the whole to be heard, and yet without effort, the royal procession rc-formed, and re turned to Buckingham Palace. The Lords afterwards stood adjourned until five o'clock, and the Commons until a quarter to four. The House of Commons at for some time before being summoned t 3 Use Upper Houe,and many members were sworn in.

Algernon Egerton, M.P. for South Lancashire; and the seoonder Sir James Elphinstone, Bart., Y.P. for Portsmouth. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) BAIL COURT. Sittings at NW Primo, at Wistsolister.—(Befoiradr. Justice LIM sad Comm= Jarim) CHARRINGTOM AND OVUM V. 1171111138.001M-PROMIS- SORT NOTES. Mr. Phipson wee counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pinder for the defendant. This wee en action brought by the plaintiffs, the well known brewery against the defendant, Major Ruehbrooke, of Rushbrooki Park, in tho count y of Soffolk, to recover lOW., with interest, the amount of • promissory note, for which the defendant had rendered himself jointly liable, ae runty for one Richard Tomlin. Prot of tle; making of the note and of the payment of Interest at 6 per nest. on the 28th of February, 1865, having been givm, Idr. Pinder said he could not struggle spinet the evi• dance, and he must therefore consent to a verdict. A verdict wee then entered for the plaintiff for 1141, 15e., the amount of the promieory note and interest. BLAICr c ao-cmit.—COIMISSION.. Mr. Tindal Atkinson was counsel for the plaintiff. Air. Field represented the defendant. This was ea action for work and labour, to which the de fendant pleaded, firstly, not indebted, and secondly, that except es to 3/., he had before the action satisfied the plain tiff's claim, and he paid the 3/. into court. It appeared that the plaintiff is a commission agent, and had been employed by the defendant in 1856 to parches bricks for the erection of barracks at Plymouth, of which the defendant was contractor. The plaintiff bad been mat to various places where brick' are made, and shoo had attended at the corn market to charter veeecle. The plaintiff, who it was alleged had mons trensaction slaved the defendant 761., bad charged one per cent. commission, which sum wee by the defendant, on the ground that the plaintiff Ve i rceived his commission from the sellers. The evidence having concluded, 11 r. Field addressed the jury for the defeace ; when The jury found a verdict for the defendant. BRITISH Inarrtiston.—The annual exhibition of the works of the old masters and deceased British artists, at the gallery in Pall-mall, opened to the public yesterday. The liberality of the patrons of the British Institution in con tributing, year by year, their choicest art treasures to form this exhibition, is not adequately appre ciated by the public. Dr. Wasgen has justly ob served that in a course of years a person might make acquaintance with the noblest works of art in this country by regularly visiting these rooms. Yet the number of visitors through the season is never more than a tithe of what might be hoped and expected. The present getheriag is of average interest. There are fewer pictures than last year which illustrate the pre-Raphaelite era ; but there are fine specimens of the Italian schools in their more advanced stages of development. The art-student and connoisseur, therefore, though he may find few data for historical deduction, will be fur nished with sufficient materials for critical analysis. To general visitors the collection will be unusually interesting. The sale of the valuable stud belonging to the late Marquis of Waterford, consistiog of thorough-bred stallions, raw-hones, steeplechase horses, horses in training, brood mere., foals, and carriage torsos, together with a large number of foxhounds end pointers, is announced to tete piece at Curreglimore, on the 24th and 25th inst. The stud, which is divided into 129 lots, comprises 143 animals, hunters, 33 brood mere% 17 'tailbone, five carriago horses, 18 two•yeu , olde, 23 yearlings, seven colts, and seven filly foals. KEEPING AN ADMIRAL FROM Tilt POLL.—Yea- Wedgy evening an investigation took place at Cirencester Petty Serious, before the Rev. H. Crisp. and a beach of magistrate., into a charge preferred against Mr. Peter Ellis Harmer, of Cirencester, and Mr. William Clark, of the game place, liberal electors for the borough, for unlawfully preventing Admiral Charles Talbot, the Commander-in . _ . Chief on the Mali Station, from recording hie vote at the recent election for Cirencester. Mr. W. H. Cooke, instructed by Messer Mullings end Co., presented ; and Mr. J. J. instructed by Mr. W. L. Cooke, defended. The facts were br iefly these :--Admiral Talbot is a voter for Cirencester, and on the omesion to question he loft Cork to proceed to Cirettemter, in order to record his vote for the conservative candidate,. The train by which he travelled from Milford Haven was late, and he did tot reach Cirencester station until five minutes to 4 o'clock by the railway time, which is three minutes behind the town time, which governed the poll. He had telegraphed to the conservative committee for a fly to meet him, end the circumstance becoming known a crowd had aesembied to " welcome" him. Clark, one of the defendants, wee in the station-yard, and on the admiral alighting from the fly, which was not allowed to leave the yard, the gates being shut, he put his arms round hint, and said, "11l protect the admiral . ' The admiral did not leave the yard until past 4 o'clock. For the usatilt thy/ committed Clark was summoned by the admiral before the magistrates on the following Monday, end which resulted in a tine of bpi. The case against Harmer was that ho was seen outside the yard at the time of the excitement inside. The connect for the defence contended that Clark could not be convicted a mooed time of the same offence, the evidence in both cams being identical; and with regard to Harmer, he proved by witnesses that be was at the station 'welting the arrival of his son, and interfered not at all in al the matter. It was so contended that had the admiral been allowed to leave the yard ho could not have reached the poll ing-place until after four o'clock; and that nothing would have been heard of this case but for the Kdibiewhite ab duction cam. The bench retired, and on their return the chairmen announced that they had decided on committing Clark for trial, bat dismissed the charge against the other defendant. Clark Wile admitted to bail. Another case in which Clark WWI summoned for &blaming a voter, named John Glover, was withdrawn by the prosecution. THE RELIGIOUS FEUD IN ST. GEORGE'S EAST.— The pariah church plat. Georges East wee again the scene of a violent anti-treetarian demonstration on Sunday after noon. The Rev. Hugh Alin, the lecturer chosen by the veetseitrryy~ has complied with the request of the Bishop of not to preach until a legal determination has been come to se to the rector's legal right to interfere; bet the in habitants, neveribelem, c ounce to meet, to display their aversion to the innovations made in the oervioes and derma tine of the church. Oa Sunday last en immense crowd blocked up Cannon-street, in which the church is situated, though it was expected the church would not be opened fur divine service, as wee the case on the previous Sunday. At near four o'clock, howevre, the gates were thrown open, and in less than ire minutes the spacious edifice was thronged la every part. There could not have been lees than 1,801/ per sons within the church, in addition to the crowds who could not obtain admittenoe. In a few moments the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, appeared with a train of nearly thirty choristers, and proceeded along the aisle of the church, amid an indescribable Nene of hooting, hissing, and confusion. On reaching the communion table, which wee decorated as swat with crosses, candlesticks end flowers, he com mand the Litany, the choristers intoning the responses, upon which the audience began shouting, hissing, end manning their feet, so as completely to drown their voices. The rector persisted for some time, but at hearth seemed convinced that it wee useless to proceed, and after a coesultation with his attendants proceeded again to the vestry, receiving on his way a similar greeting to that he had experien on his entry. The crowd appeared satietled with ibis reeult, and soon quitted the church to discuss matters outeide till a sodden storm dispersed them. The scene would appear to be the result of a prom:carted arrangement, as placards had been issued recommending the parishioners to attend in force every Sunday till Mr. Allen le recognised so letterer. A strong body of police was in attendanoe, and by their exer tions restrained the disposition manifested by a few persons to proceed to further messuree. I'ii DRINKING FOUNTAIN MOVEMENT.—A large standard drinking fountain le about to be erected forthwith at the end of Tower , hill, opposite the Rayed Mint and the St. Katherine's Bonhomie, at the joint expense of the White. chapel Board of Works and the Metropolitan From Drinking Fountain Association. TEE PROSECUTION FOR TEE SALE OF ARMY COMMIS/11035.—Tbk prom:talon, which ha been removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen'. Bench, will be tried as the 17th or 18th instant. Mr. Elwin Jamsa, Q.C., ro bbed by the Wer-offic., will conduct the prosecution. The serious darendanta will ho represented by Kr. M. Chambers, QC., Mr. ISerjeant Slue, and other learned gentlemen.

The eighteenth parliament of the United King dom—the sixth stuntnnued daring the preempt reign—and the second session of 1858, were to-day formelly inaugurated by her Majeety in person. The °melon had been looked forward to with considerable interest, owing to the very natural anxiety of the public to learn something of the views and intentions of the crown and govern ment upon the Italian war and parliamentary reform. The attendance both of peers and commoners was exceodingly summons, and the auditory inclu led many peeresses, ladies, sad distinguished stranger', whose eager- DM to hear her Majesty's Address equalled that of the esmators assembled either below or within the bar. The magnificent chamber within which the ceremony took place became full long before the cannon announced the arrival of the Queen. Peers and peeress thronged the floor and body of the house, while scarcely a vacant seat was to be found in the galleries. Under the cir- cumstances a numerous assemblage of the diplomatic carp was to be expected. The representatives of the chief powers are accustomed to show by their presence on these mossioss their respect for the crown, bat this year not the heads of the missions only, but several attactis were in attendance, the latter occupying the ends of the two aide galleries, and the gallery immediately above the throne. It had been officially ',mounted that the Quem would meet her parliament in person; and, the day being fine, though hot and cloudy, it is needless to say that the route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster was lined with multitudes of loyal subjects, and that by one and all at every point where the crowd had collected in say force, her Majesty was swayed with enthusiastic cheers. The pro cession was probably seen to ea much if not greater 'dean tsge num at say former period, the warmth of the summer atmosphere end the bright foliage of the park increuicg the attractiveness of the pageant. Both these adjunotelhave hitherto been wanting when her Majesty hes opened the Iseislative Hagen in state. The royal promos'= quilted the Palace about half•put one o'clock, the state carriage of her Majesty being occupied by the Queen, the Prince • Consort, the Duchess of Man chester (Mistress of the Robes), the Duke of Beaufort, and the Master of the Horse. The usual order, now so well known, was observed In the positions and occupants of the other royal equipages; and the procession, se in former yeas, reached the Vict.ria Tower by two o'clock. Her Majesty sad the Prince Consort were in due form and oeremoey:conducted to the robing-room, and the robes hav ing beat assumed her Majesty paswd on to the throne in the house, preceded by the Earl of Derby taming the sword of state, the Marquis of Winchester, by hereditary right, bear , lag the Cap of lisialenance ; next, the Marquis of Set"iebury, as Lord President of the Council, and then the Duke of Hamilton, carrying the Crown on a cushion, and tto Lord Chancellor with the Greet Seel. Her Majesty was led by the Prime Comet, and when she had wended the throno the Premier smiths' LordChencellor took up positions at the right, and the two Marquises at the left, the Duchess of Man chester sad the Countess of Desert standing immediately behind the chair of state. The Prince Consort sat as:usual to the left of her Majesty; the seat on the; right being:ap propristed to the Prinos of Wales, remained, of course, un occupied. Her Majesiyhaving expressed her pleasure that the assembly should be seated, Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, was directed to summon the Commons to the bar. After an Interval of a few minutes the Speaker, in hie state robes, with the Usher/ref the Block Rod on his right, sad the Sageaat-M-Arnie on his lett, appeared at the bar, attended by the leading member. of the government snd the opposi ilea, gad elitism being presently restored, the Lord Chancel lee advanced to the foot of the throne, sad, fowling, pre seated the document to her Majesty, who proceeded, amidst 1 the most profound attention, to road the followlag SPEECH: MT LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I avail myself with satisfaction, in the present anxious state of public affairs, of the advice of my parliament, which I have summoned to meet with the least possible delay. I have directed that papers shall be laid before you, from which you will learn how earnest and unceasing have been my endeavours to preserve the peace of Europe. Those endeavours have unhappily failed ; and war has been declared between France:andi Sar dinia on one side, and Austria on the other. Re ceiving assarances of friendship from both the con tending parties, I intend to maintain between them a strict and impartial neutrality ; and I hope, with Goers usistanoe, to preserve to my people the bless ing of continued peace. Considering, however, the present state of Europe, I have deemed it necessary to the security of my dominions and the honour of my crown to increase my naval forces to an amount exceeding that which has been sanctioned by Parliament. I rely with confidence on your cordial concurrence in this precautionary measure of defensive policy. The King of the Two Sicilia having announced to me the death of the King, his father, and his own ac cession, I have thought fit, in concert with the Emperor of the French, to renew my diplomatic intercourse with the Court of Naples, which had been suspended during the late reign. All my other foreign relations continue on a per fectly satisfactory footing. GENTLEMEN Or TIIE HOLISE OF Commoye, The estimates for the year, for which provision has not been made by the late parliament, will be immediately laid before you, together with mush supplementary estimates as present circumstances render indispensably necessary for the public service. MT LORDS AND OIRTLEMEN, I have directed a bill to be prepared for giving effect, so far as the aid of parliament may be re quired, to certain suggestions of the commissioner@ whom I had appointed to inquire into the best made of efficiently manning the Royal Navy; and I recommend this important subject to your immediate attention. • Measures of legal and social improvement, the progress of which, in the late parliament, was neces sarily interrupted by the dissolution, will again be brought under your consideration. I should with pleasure give my sanction to any well-considered measure for the amendment of the laws which regulate the representation of my people in parliament ; and should you be of opinion that the necessity of giving your immediate attention to =a non of urgency relating to the defence and financial condition of the country will not leave you sufficient time for leiciaiating, with due deliberation, daring the present session, on a subject at once so difficult and so extensive, I trust Oat at the commencement of the next session, your earnest attention will be given to a question, of which an early and eatiefactory Oettlement would be greetly to the public advantage. )0 . enter with zeal and I feel secured that diligence on the discharge t. l your parliamentary duties, and I pray that the rest: It of your delibera tions may tend to secure to the Country the con tinuance of peace abroad, and progrees:ve improve- ) ment at home. THE WAR IN ITALY. EVACUATION OF MILAN BY THE AUSTRIANS. THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA, The following telegrams were posted at the Paris Bourse yesterday afternoon, and were published in a second edition of last night's Expreu. The first is from the Emperor to the Empress : "HEAD-QUARTERS, MONDAY, 8 o'CLocx, ♦.m. "Milan is insurgent. The Austrians have evacuated the town and castle,leaving, in their preci pitation, cannon and the treasure of the army behind them. We are encumbered with prisoners, and have taken 12,000 Austrian muskets." COMO, JUNE 6. " News has arrived here of the victory of Magenta-6,000 Austrian prisoners have been taken, and 16,000 Austrians killed and wounded. "General Urban has retreated to Monza, and General Garibaldi has quitted Lew." The following official telegram wee lut night received in London : "TURIN, MONDAY, 7 r.m. "The municipality of Milan has proclaimed Victor Emmanuel. " A deputation has presented an address to hie Majesty in presence of the Emperor. " To-morrow the King will make his entry into Milan." TURIN, MONDLT. The official bulletin published to-day is as follows : a Letters from Como state that Milan is free, the Austrians having evacuated both the town and the I castle. The enemy has abandoned Stradella and the surrounding country, and destroyed the bridge and fortifications of Stella. Details of the battle of Magenta are still wanting." BERNE, MONDAY. It is reported from Locarno that the Austrians have quitted Milan after having spiked their gnus. The commandant of the culla hea issued a proclama tion to the inhabitants, the tone of which is of a threatening nature. AUSTRIAN ACCOUNTS. VIENNA, MONDAY, 11.30 A.M. A desperate combat took place the day before yesterday between the first and second (Count Clam and Prince Edward Lichtenstein) corps d'armee and the enemy, who had passed the Ticino with very considerable forces. The result of the contest was undecided. The combat continued yesterday (Sunday). Our troops threw themselves upon the enemy's ranks with ardour, and showed a valour and perseverance worthy of the most glorious feats of arms of the imperial army. Swan is perfectly tranquil. The head-quarters yesterday were still at Abbiate Grano. VERONA, SUNDAY. (The following is o(scial.) Early yesterday a hot fight began at Magenta between the enemy who had crossed in great force to the eastern bank of the Ticino, and the troops of the first and second corps-earmee. The conflict was maintained with varying fortune till night set in. Final detail's:. still mating, as the straggle for victory has been renewed to-day sad still continues. Eye-witnesses report that our troops join battle with joyous shouts, and display endurance and bravery fully worthy of the most famous deeds of the im perial army. The authorities and the weak garrison of Milan, with the exception of the castle garrison, have withdrawn at the command of General Gyulai. The town is quiet. Further details will follow later. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, MONDAY. The following message, published by the Frank fort papers, has been received here from Vienna without any further particulars, and without any guarantee u to the authenticity of the news it contains: " VIENNA, MONDAY. " Through the opportune arrival of the corps d'armte of Field-Marshal General Clam-Gallu on the battle-field, the Austrians were victorious, after • hot fight. The French were thrown back over the Ticino." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Moniteur of to-day contains the following: " Marquis Antonini has delivered to the Empress the notification of the death of King Ferdinand and of the accession to the throne of King Francesco 11. The marquis also presented letters accrediting him as envoy extraordinary. The Empress will go into mourning for twentyonc days." The Monitour also publishes General Mac Mahon's report of the passage of the Ticino at Turbigo by the allies on the 3rd of June, and of the surprise of the enemy at Robechetto, by which considerable loss was inflicted on the Austrians. The French have lost one captain and seven privates killed and four officers, among whom is one colonel, and thirty-eight pri vates wounded. The Emperor hes ordered the names of the killed and wounded officers and privates to be sent by the Minister of War to those persons who may be interested in their fate. TRIESTE, Jena 6. Near Blanch° yesterday the Austrian war-steamer Eugen captured the French three-master Raoul, of Nantes, bound from Cuba for Trieste with a cargo of coffee. (PROM O'CR OWN COI PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. Twenty-one guns were fired at the Invalides at sunset tact night, in honour of the victory of Magenta. The Pal►ce of the Tuileries, the public offices, the shops of the Emperor's tradesmen, and a few private houses were illuminated. The Empress and the Princess Clothilde pcssed along the Rue Rivoli and the Boulevards in an open carriage at a very late hour in the evening, and were fro tpiently cheered. The Patric confirms a rumour, which I believe to be certainly true, that General Espinasse (the :Emperor's aide-de-camp), who was lately Minister of the li.terior, and Brigadier General Cler were killed in the zetion. The Pay* giieu ui the latest news that the Emperor Napoleon tgru within four kilometres (less than two miles) of Mils. . . . The Monitcur de lArmee says that in the midst of a long despatch in cypher, sent to Paris from h es 4-quartera, there appear the following words in ordinary letters: Marge Cant belt, General Macsnahon, and General Hag. nanit de Saint Jean d'Angely have covered themselves eita glory. News has been received that Prince Napoleon's corps d'armee (the 6th) has taken up a position in the Appennines. Modena is occupied by a large Austrian force. _ . At the Bourse the victory of Magenta produced but little effect, a rise having taken place on Friday or Saturday in anticipation of some decisive advantage on the side of the allied armies. The Rents opened, however, 40c. higher than on Saturday, and when, at about half-past 12, the despatch was posted an nouncing the insurrection at Milan, • further rise took place. The Threes closed firm, at 84fr. 20e. both for cash and account, with a rise of 86c. and Mobilier rose 20fr. The Orleans Railway rose 20fr.; Northern, 21fr. 25c.; Western, 7fr. 50c:; and the other lines about 15fr. The Marquis Antonini, the Neapolitan envoy, had an audience of the Empress to-day. I under stand that the statement that he wu going to England is inaccurate. M. Carini is commissioned to present letters of credence from Francis 11. to Queen Victoria. P. 8.—1 hear the following interesting news which I cannot positively guarantee, but which I think to be well founded. It is said—and I hope — in common with the whole British nation and the whole British army, that this news may be untrue—that Marshal Canrobert is mortally wounded. Generals Mao Mahon and Niel are wounded. Five marshals or generals (probably inclusive of the three above named) are wounded. The battle of Magenta, like that of Mon tebello, began by a surprise. This indeed results from one of the Moniteur paragraphs. Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers is removed from his command and replaced by General Forey. Marshal Valliant is superseded by Marshal Randon, and the ministry of war is to be confided provisionally to General Schram. The Austrian garrison at Milan at the time of the insurrection was reduced to 3,000 men. THE RED SEA AND INDIA TELEGRAPH. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE IMPRESS.
