The Paris Pays announces that the Powers which were
to have sent Plenipotentiaries to the Congress have been
apprised that the meeting cannot take place on the day
originally flied; no after day is yet appointed.
We are informed from Roine that the Duke of Gram-
mont has positively stated to the Holy See that the pam-
phlet " Le Pape et he Congris" doe+ not contain the pro-
gramme of the French Government for the Congress.
The telegram adds that the explanation has produced an
excellent effect on the Sovereign Pontiff, and hopes are
entertained that his Holiness will not object to be repre-
sented at the Congress—when it meets.
A Turin correspondent of the Lazily hews gives an
recount of Count Cavour's anticipation of what will be
proposed at the Congress
He believes he can predict that the Congress will do
the Italian GYM no great good aml no great harm.
"Time is working for its advantage," he said no later
than Friday to • friend of his; "two things have become
impossible already—the restoration of the Dukes and the
recovery of the Romagna by the Pope. If Central Italy
remains firm and tranquil in its proposition of annexa-
tion it will be impossible in other quarters to prevent it
for any length of time. It is only we Italians 'who know,
in fact, what it is we really du want. And, therefore,
amidst all the difficulties of my task, I esteem myself,
at all events, fortunate in this, that my prop...al will be
most simple and immutable. Let the wish of the peoples
be gratified. Should thereupon the Congress require a
fresh demonstration by the inhabitants of Central Italy
of their firm and general will, I neither can nor ought
to supposeit. Any other proposal will be contested by
me." "Some one," observed the friend, "may propose
the sale of Venetia: what would be your conduct then?"
" Ah, then," replied the illustriousstatesinan, "my reso-
lutions would have to be modified. lithe Austrians
quit Italy, her destiny will be arranged in a more plea-
sant way by diplomacy; but I hold any cession of the
sort illusory • nor can I believe that Austria will ever
listen to good' sense, or be induced to give up Venetia by
any arguments save those of cannon. Be that as it may,
one proposal will assuredly be laid before the Congress,
and that is, the creation of • central kingdom detached
from Piedmont, to consist of Tuscany, Modena, and the
Romagna. France will be the chief mooter and sup-
porter of this project, and I believe England will not
oppose it. It may so happen that I shall be left alone in
may oppositioo to it, but then I shall be backed by the
Italian peoples, whose desire for the annexation will be
firm. Before such • proposal can be carried, they will
have at least to break through the principle of non-in-
tervention.

" Our Florence correspondent," says this Fiord of
Brussels, "informs us that the new municipal council Of
Florence which is to meet during the first week of 1860
will be called upon to vote several important measures.
one of which is • loan of twenty millions, to be repaid
in forty years, intended to restore order in the finances
of the city, which suffered greatly from the Austrian
occupation."
The official journal of Bologna announces that the
Dictator, after having, as is known, decreed the expul-
sion of the Jesuits from tho provinces of Parma, Modena,
and the Romagna, has appointed a commission charged
to take possession, in the name of the Government, of
all the property of the company. The jounials add
"The commission has already commenced taking pos.
lesson; and its proceedings encounter no obstacle, and
are effected with perfect regularity, they will moon be
completed in all the provinces."
