It is asserted that the reply of the Austrian Govern-
ment to the laet proposal respecting the representation
of Piedmont in the Congress has arrived to-day, and that
the reply is to the effect that Austria does not object to
the admission of Piedmont.
It is further stated that the French Government has
given ita consent to the appointment of a comiuhwion for
carrying out the disarmainent, requiring only that it be
composed of diplomatists ; while Austria and England,
on the other hand, propose that it be constituted of
military members.

The following is from a correspondent at Boulogne
The French army Ii in full march to the frontiers of
Piedmont.

PARIB, Friday, April V.

The mfrnifew• a this morning says :—Austria has not
given in her adliexion to the propositions made by Eng-
land, and acoepted by France, Husain, and Prussia ;
besides which, it appears that the Cehinet of Vienna has
resolved upon addressing • direct communication to the
Cabinet of 'rurin, in order to obtain the disarmament of
tiardinia. In consequence of these facts the Emperor
has ordered the concentration of several divisions of the
army on the frontiers of Piedmont.
PARIS, Friday, April 22.

The Parris of this evening contains the following :
The delay granted by Austria to Piedmont for disarming
will, as it appears expire on Sunday evening next. Tin
now nothing has confirmed the report here circulated,
that an engagement has been fought on the Ticino. It is
rumoured that General Hendon will he appointed Major-
General of the army to be concentrated on the frontiers
of Piedmont, and that Marshal Baraguay d'Hillieni will
take his departure to join the army on the Alps. Gene-
ral Canrobert has arrived in Paris from Nancy. The
report is current that the Austrians have entered the
Duchies of Tuscany, Penna. and Modena. It is also
asserted that the French soldiers on renewable furlough
are to be called in.

Hardee comauenced 651. 50c., and fell immediately to
651. 40c., being a decline of 1 per cent. since yesterday.
A further decline took plsce. Rente., iiif. 90e., being
11 per cent, lower than yestenlay's closing.

Instead of Cabinet C'ouncils, I .tterlv Napoleon 111
has held consultations of Fielil•llsraliala. General Niell
is always closeted at the Tuileries Manul.alu Valliant
and Magnan are in close attendance ; and when the
Imperial mind is relaxed by intervals of hunting, the
work of war arrangements is at once renamed. We
learn that • naval division under the ammiand of Vic,
Admiral Jehenna has sailed from Brest for the Mediter-
rams in. Nir e gunboata are being armed at Cherbourg,
for deapatch to Toulon ; and large masses of troop' are
In motrement daily.
A story is afloat that Lord Cowley had a stormy inter•
view with Count Walewski lately. Another rumour
had it that Count Persigny was to be sent to Lor.don ouu
a peaceful mission. This is now contradicted, with the
addition "that the Emperor has been not at house to
the Count for the 'eat six weeks." .

La France Cemirale is permitted to announce that in
case of a war the staff of the army will be composed as
follows :—The Emperor, Commander.in-Chicf ; aeneral
Canrobert, Major-General ; General Neill, General de
Service ; General Lebonif, Commissioner of the Artillery;
General de Marthibrey, Chief of the Staff.
The Emperor of the French has accepted • copy of
lir. Henry Bradbury's recent work on Nature Printing,
and has been pleased to present that gentlemen with •
gold snuffbox, aurtnounted by the Imperial Crown and
Cipher in brilliants.
