M. Pant, on the gupplememtary and extraordinary
credits of 1847 and 1848, was distributed to-day in
the Amenably. The committee recommends the

some mellikstions of little or no consequence.

A new camp is about to be farmed between the
Batignolles and Clkhy.
In oddities to the statement in oar despatches of
last evening, we read in the Simaphore of Marseilles,
of Saturday :
In the eveniag of Thursday, the limitenant-reneral in
command of the seventh military division received en
order by the telegraph to form two war battalions from
the garrison of Marseilles. This order was immediately ex.
rented. The 20th and 33rd each furnished the nee.. ipa,y
enotingeate, and they are reedy to march at the first sigoal.
Their destination is se yet unknown, and this mystery has
given rise to all sorts of ecitijixtures A battery of artillery is
glen expeered from Valance.
The Nowa/ids of Marseilles of Sunday, after con-
firming the above statement, says:—
We am also enured that an officer of ordnance of the
ministry of war has arrived this morning at Masseilles, the'
bearer of as order relative to the immediate departure of
the troops. In conseguenes of instrneaous given by this
°Aker to the penal of division the m !fettles of these Yogi- '
mints has bees increased, so that instead of six companies
to a battalion, as at fiat ordered, it will now ems* of
eight, each of 103 men, without including the .• cadre."
It would not eppeur that these troops are demised
to an expedition of war, although each men has been
tarnished with twenty rounds of cartridge We found our
opinion on this: All the of sere soldiers here are ordered
to take with them their dregs nastem. This, which is not
common to troops who enter on a climpaige, leads us to hoa-
gies that the behlade is rather destined to compose a guard
of braver foe the protection of the Pope, and to secure to
him that authority of which the agitators endear, ur to de
price him. The departure of this brigade only end a the sr.

He removed the question of the preamble from the
region of the underetandirg to that of the imagine-

It is now denied that any actual negotiation has:been
yet entered upon by Austria and Sardinia. Propo-
sitions were made, its said, by the court cf Vienna
to Charles Albert, but the latter replied that, having
already accepted the proffered mediation of France
and England, he could not, with doe regard to these
powers,enter upon any negotiation to which they should
not be parties. Austria refuses, but in friendly terms,
to accept their mediation, and insists upon treating
directly and independently with Sardinia. Austria
is reported to be willing to make constitutional con-
cessions to the Lombards similar to those granted by
the sovereign of Tummy but is not willing to make
any surrender of territory.
Two financial combinations have been spoken of at
the Bourse, with respect to which negotiations will be
opened with the Minister of Finance. The first is
the offer den English house to take all the shares of
t
eLons Railway that shall be abandoned by the
shareholders.
The other, which comes also from
England, is an offer of a loan which was Heated
some time since, and which they are now willing to
enter on.
A report is in circulation that Venice has been
bombarded by the Austrian fleet. Ido not guarantee
the truth of this. The Austrian naval force before
Venice consists of 12 ships ; viz., 2 frigates, 1 schooner,
1 corvette, 4 briar, and 4 steamboats.

yesterday at the Assembly that General Bodeen bad
been offered by Charles Albert the command of the
Piedmontese army, and that the general bad refused.
The same offer was afterwards made to General
Cbangarnier, who has not yet gives his decision. In
ease of a second refusal the envoys of Charles Albert
are charged to apply to the government for one of the
French generals who has commanded in Africa, to
take the command in chief of the Sardinian foram
