SISTER OF' LOUIS PHILIPPE.

lie, Royal Ilighneaa expired yeeterday morning, at I
half-past three o'clock, at the Tuileries, in her 71st
year, having been born on the 21st August, 1777.
This intelligence was unexpected, for although it
was announced some days ago that her Royal High- I
nese was affected with the prevailing influenza, the
attack was stated to be a slight one. It appears that
the illness of Madame Adelaide had not until the day
precious become su alarming as to preclude all hope
of her recovery. The Curt of St. Roch was sent
for about midnight to administer religious succour,
and soon afterwards the prineeso breathed her last.
In consequence of this erect, all the receptions and
other court ceremonies for the new year were coun-
termanded.
Notwithstanding the contradictions given by the
ministerial journals of Paris, and reiterated, even so
lately as yesterday, by the Journal des Th" Lats, the in-'
telligence received from our correspondent, and peb-
lished in the Express on Thursday, of the armed in-
terference of Austria in the Italian states, has proved
to be correct. We have remised to-day intelligence
which throws light upon the notice given by
the cabinet of Vienna to the other powers
of its intention to augment its forces in Lom-
bardy. On the 22nd December the city of Modena
was occupied by the Austrian troops, cavalry, in-
fantry, and artillery, consisting of four or five
thousand men. Several arrests had taken place.
Terror prevailed in the city. The horses of the
cavalry were kept constantly saddled and bridled,
ready for mounting. Several hundred muskets had
been brought into the Ducal Palace, to arm the
household.
Letters from Parma of the 22nd, say, that on the
preceding evening a detachment of Austrian Lancers
and a ttain of artillery, occupied that city, mounted
guard at the palace, and the cannons were kept con-
stantly ready to be discharged.
The Gazette de Florence announces that on the 25th
January a conference is to be opened at Florence, at
which 21 persons, named by the government, are to
lay down the bases of a new municipal system. In
the preamble to the ordonnance published on the
subject, it is said that " the reforms relative to the'
laws and municiod regulations ought to he in unison '
with those which are to take place in the politico-
governmental system of the Grand Duchy."
It is stated that the federal government of Switz-
erland have transmitted a note to M. Guizot, demand-
ing, in formal terms, the recall of M. Bois-le-Comte.
The Madrid mail of the 25th, arrived in Paris at al
late hour last evening. The Gazette published the
royal ordonnanees effecting a change in certain mem-
bers of the cabinet. The following is the cabinet as
now constituted : General Narraex, President without
a portfolio; General Figueraa, Minister of War ti
M. Beltran de Lys, Finances; M. Sartouns, the
Interior; M. Errazula, Justice; M. Bravo Murillo, I
Public Instruction ; M. Race di Tougores, Marine.
No confidence was placed in the stability of the
cabinet thus rseconstitued. No strength is gained by
it in the Cortrs, and another and more general
change is expected.
Another royal ordonnance appoints MM. Pidal and
de Andino, Vice-Presidents of the Superior Junta of
the Archives.
