FRANCE.

PARIS.. Thursday, April.l4, 2 n

It Ls asserted that the Emperor will shortly leave for
Lyons. A memorandum from Count Buol, hostile to
Piedmont, is spoken of. Rental have declined to 671.

The intelligence from France is filled with reporta of
the movement of troops and preparation in the naval
arsenals. On the 10th, the Nowiterr printed • decree
ordering the apportionment among the department, of
the 100,000 conscripts for this year of the class of 1858.
Ills remarked that, while in ordinary times 80,000, and
sometimes even 40,000 only, are apportioned, On the
present occasion the whole contingent is called out.
There is a similar drain on the naval service. What is
more, M. Witte (the principal director of the Victor
Emmanuel Railway from the French frontier to the
foot of the Alps, through Savoy), has been ordered to I
hold in readiness the means of transporting a little army
to the frontiers of Italy.
The Conference on the Danubian Principalities remains
disagreed. Al the opening, M. Musurus, on behalf of
the Sultan, denied that Colonel Coin* possessed the
legal qualifications indispensable to his election as Hos-
podar of Moldavia; and protested against the illegality
of that election, as well as against his second election for
Wallachia, which was effected by the introduction of
armed bands of peasants, and the intimidation exercised
by them over the people. He appealed to the Powers
whose representatives signed last year the Convention
for the organisation of the Principalities, to maintain it
in its integrity.
The city of Paris, in consideration of N. Lamartine's
service* to the country in 1645, has made him a present
of • handsome house and extensive grounds in the Bois
de Boulogne. N. Lamartine has lately refused to accept
a residuary bequest made by an old maiden lady to whom
he was a stranger. His friend. xay that he will not take
advantage of the ill-conaidered bequest of an imagina-
tive woman to deprive her relations of an inheritance
upon which they had justly reckoned.
The Siecle, speaking of the part to he taken by France
at the proposed Outgrew, says: "The Roman method
is, we will admit, our ideal. Should our representatives
present themselves before the Congrese with • sword
concealed in the folds of their toga they will carry the
day ; if they are only half convinced, they will assuredly
be defeated."

The confusion in the political situation which was
noticed as the leading feature of Wednesday, was worse
confounded on Thurslay. It is evident that diplomatic
negotiations are going on anything but smoothly. We are
assured that Lord Cowley mud Count Walewski, after a
long discussion on Thursday, separated with the con•
viction that very serious differences of opinion exist
between the two Governments, and that the great fall
In the Bonne, otherwise unexplained, is attributable
to this circumstance. We learn from a good source
that • treaty has been concluded between Belgians and
Holland for mutual defence in case of war breaking out.
It is agreed between the high contracting parties that in
certain given eventualities a joint army of 120,000 men
shall be set on foot, of which 180,000 are to be furnished
be the King of the Belgians, and 40,000 by the King of
Willand. In consideration of this difference between
the military contingents, the King of Holland engages,
at his own expense to tit out • deet, to be stationed iii
the Scheldt and the Meuse.

General Fouti, of the Piedmonteee army, who was
charged with a military mission to France, ham left
Paris for Turin. General Fonti had several interviews
with the Emperor and Prinoe Napoleon.
In consequence of the increasing importance of the
port of Marseilles a Conimisary•General of the Imperial
marine is to be stetioned there, in place of a simple
Dom inissary.
The camp at Cubs is to he composed of four divisions
DI infantry. The aulonieration of troop. in Lyons is
DO great that it has Man found neoesasry to send detsch-
ments into the departments of the Aime and the Isere.
Five thousand wore troops have arrived in Maneilles
from Algeriv.

Generil Renault has left Paris to take the command
of his division at Lyons.

In Rome there is much agitation. The Papal Govern•
meat is preparing an ofßcial note relative to the propoeed
Congress, to be addressed to the greet Powers. Pass.
ports are given by the Roman authorities to volunteers
for Pidmontese service from the State,' of the Church,
but with the intimation that they will be regarded as
exiles.

The King of Naples appears now to be in a hopeless
state of disease. The Hereditary Prince is 'mid to
occupy himself much with public business, and there
was an expectation that he would soon be appointed
Vicar General of the kingdom.
COUNT CAVOUR'S STATZMINT.—Two new diplomatic
documents from the hand of Count Cavour have
appeared. One, addressed to the Marquis d'Aseglio,
the Sardinian Minister in London, advocates the Sar-
dinians' right to enter the Congress. The other is more
Important; it is a memorandum addressed by the
Piedmoutese Government to the British Government.
In reply to • request from Lord Malmesbury for a state-
ment of" the contn/aiata which the Italians have to
bring forward against Austria, either on account of her
domination over the provinces' which she possesses in
virtue of treaties, or in consequence of her relations with
the States of Central Italy, the abuorinal condition al
which is admitted by all the Cabinets of Europe." To this
request Count Cavour gives a precise answer. He des-
cribes the state of Lombardo-Venetia in forcible terms;
showa how the weight of Austrian inflitence prevents
the people of Parma. 3lodena, and Tuscany from obtain-
ing representative institutions ; points out how for-
midable, in a military s••nse, is the encroachment of
Austria upon other states ; and proposea the following
change as a linens of warding off war and revolution,
and solving. for a time at least. the Italian question :
" By obtaining from Austria—not in virtue of treaties. hut
in the name f the principles of humanity and of eternal
justice--• national and separate government for Lom-
bardy and Venetia. By requiring. in eonformity with
the letter and spirit of the Treaty of Vienna, that the
domination of Austria over the States of Central Italy
should cease, and, consequently that the detached forts
constructed outside tlic walls of Placentia ahould be
destroyed ; that the COII, nt ion of the 24th of December
1847' (giving Austria • right to occupy Purina and
Modena at will), should be annulled ; that the occupa-
tion of the Romagna should cease; and that the principle
of nonintervention should be proclaimed and respected.
By inviting the Dukes of Modena and Parma to give to
their people institutions similar to those existing in
Piedmont, and that the Grand Duke of Tuscany
should reestablish the constitution to which be had
freely oonsented in 1848. By obtaining front the Sove-
reign Pontiff the administrative separation of the pro-
vinces beyond the A ppenines, in conformity with the
proporitions communicated in 1858 to the cabinets of
London and Paris."

Vikses, Thursday Evening.

Andria has positively retwied to beenine • party to
the Congrese, unless it is preceded by • general and
simultaneous disarmament. The foregoing is perfectly
authentic.

TairsrE, Thumlay, April 14.

A &Invention haa been concluded with the Alpitrian
Government relating to the connexion of Trite and
Greece by telegraph. The telegraph lons between
Trieste and Alexandria is to pass through Graeae.

The formation of • new hsttalion of Grenadiers to be
attached to the army in Italy, and the augmentation of
already-existing battalions by calling in conscripts, &a,
has been decided on.
A telegram dated the Bth, informed us that a corps
a 80,600 men had been started for Italy. another corps
of 60,000 wen was to be assembled at Vienna, and a re-
serve corps of 70,000 MOB was to be placed in Bohemia
and Moravia.
The Vienna journals continue to employ very strong
language when speaking of matters connected with
Italy ; and there is muds irritation at the serious man-
ner in which these forced war preperations press upon
the finances of the empire.
