"Ttto Marquis d'Aseglio has been recalled by tele graph to Turin. The Prince of Wales and Lord Stratford de liedcliff• are still in Rome." THE CONGRESS. We read in the Austrian Gazette: For us the congress is bit a seoondary affair; the capital point is that the armaments should cease. The congress cannot meet for a month, and its deliberations will last at Inst two months more. Are we to be spending our money all this while in armaments which will be of coarse highly nodal if We ere to fight, but superfluous in the emitery case' What matters it to us that Sardinia pro mises not to attack us we know perfectly well that Sardinia is nothing but a French advanced poet, and that she servilely obeys all orders that come from Paris. Sardinia's intention is to excite insurrection and to second the rialbg by her army. It would seem that ever since January 1, France is carrying on a financial war with us. It is essential, above all things, that a stop be put to this perfidious warfare." A letter in the Nord says :—" The Emperor of the French, though accepting as a fact the existence of the treaties of 1815, will never consent to give them by his signature a now consecration. In invoking the protocol of the 16th November, 1818, of Aix la Chapelle, Austria contrived a plan for obtaining • new sanction of those treaties; but the Emperor has formally declared that he will not sign in the empties any protocol mentioning the treaties of 1815. la that declaration, at the present moment, lies the principal difficulty in the negotiations. It is desired to discover a form of expression which shall guarantee to Austria the maintenance of her possessions in Italy without mentioning the treaties of 1815, and that is not INDIA AND AUSTRALIA.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Cleo* OVII OWN PARIS, MONDAY MYRNIXO. I learn from a good mann that, down to the latest moment at which there was ay Dews of the state of the negotiations, Austria insisted, as a con dition preliminary to the congreur, upon the dis arming of Piedmont without promising to disarm herself. This is a most serious difficulty in the way, I will not say of a settlement, for that few people look for, bat even of the meeting of coogrese. Everything tends to confirm the doubts which I expressed yesterday and the day before u to the accuracy of the telegram from Dresden stating that the day of meeting, and the bases of the discussion, were settled. Letters from Italy state very positively that Austria has asked for loans from all the Italian princes whom she considers her feudatories. The Archduke Maximilian d'Este has responded to the appeal, by an advance of twenty millions of swan eigers--nearly the whole of his fortune. HIS nephew, the reigning Duke of Modena, Francis V., gives six millions, and the Molza family one million and half, besides an equal sum which they will ad vance under the guarantee of the Grand Dab. It is not yet known what eabscriptions will be made by the King of Naples and the Grand Doke of Tammy. A Genoa letter of April 2, published by the Cbr respondonc• Bullies, asserts that in the fleshy of Modena a Colonel Forghieri lately addressed to his regiment the following speech :—" Soldiers,—War is inevitable ; we shall fight in company with a million of bayonets! In a very short time you and I will have a lark together in Victor Emmanuel'. palace !" The Bonnie has been heavy. The Rente fell 10c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 160.

The Marquis de Torcy, a member of the Corps Legislatif for the Orne, died last night. He was a landed proprietor of considerable wealth, and one of the most celebrated cattle breeders In France.
