Stuart transport, hired for the occasion ; and from
20,000 to 21.000 by land. A despatch lately received
fixed the total number tl ere at 140,000. The
Piedinontese count 80,000 regular troops and
27,000 volunteer.. From this total one-fourth is the
canal average deducted for contingencies or easulties.

undable number still remains fur mutual slaughter in
the circumscribed battle-field in the plains of Pied-
mont ! It is said that the cavalry of the French is not
yet complete, and that a good deal remains to be done
concerning the balls for the rifled cannon. There are,
or lately were, 10,000,000 cartridges in the arsenal of
Genoa.
