Letters from Genoa of the 29th say that the number
of troops in that city wee very considerably aug-
mented. The convent of the Jesuits and other
religious buildings were converted temporsily into
barracks.
Collisions were reported to have taken place on the
Modenese frontiers between the troops of that Duchy
and the Savoyard soldiers.
At Rome a new journal, to be called the Lakruno,
was announced. Its polities are those of progress, and
it is to be edited and conducted exclusively by eccle-
siastics.

The Madrid mails of the 28th have arrived. Their
contents have but little importance. The contract
between the bank and the government had been finally
agreed upon, and was to have been signed on the 29th.
The financial effects of this contract were regarded
as favourable. General Espartero, having recovered
from the attackof influenza under which he had so long
suffered, was preparing for his departure for Logrono,
preparatory to which a farewell audience was granted
to him at the palace on the evening of the 27th. The
general, who wore the uniform of colonel of the regi-
ment of Soria, was attended on the occasion by his
aide-de-camp. The audience lasted half an hour.
Her majesty is reported to have evinced much kind-
ness in her manner. The king consort, who was
present, conversed a good deal with Espartero.
A heavy fall of snow took place on the night of
the 27th and morning of the 28th.

The Swiss journals continue to discuss the notes of
France and Austria to the Diet, and the memorandum
of Sir Stratford Canning. They are, with viry few
exceptions, agreed in reprobrating the former, and in
applauding both the spirit and the language of the
latter.
We read in the Suisse of Berne, of the 30thult.:—
"The
government of the canton of Geneva, having re-
ceived certai information that some Genevese have been
expelled from the canton oL Neufchatel, in violation
of the conditions of the concordat which regulate the
establishment of the citizens of one canton in another,
has addressed serious representations on the subject
to the government of Neufchatel. Similar represen-
tations, and on the same grounds, have been sent in
by other cantons."
The canton of Schwytz has definitively rejected the
new constitution.

Since the foregoing was in typo we have received
our Paris letter of last evening, which says that the
expression of public opinion was never more harmo-
' nious and unanimous, or that of public almiration
more ardent, than towards the marvellous display of
parliamentary eloquence of M. 'fhiers on the Swiss
question. Nothing else was spoken of or thought of
in political circles yesterday, and it was remarkable
that:this homage proceeded almost as warmly from his
political er.emies as from his friends and partisans.

Her Majesty's packet Express, Lieut. James, from
Rio Janeiro the 12th December, has arrived at Fal-
mouth. The political news is unimportant. Exchange
had risen to 28, and the Six per Cents. to 89. The
receipts of the Custom-house in the month of Novem-
ber exhibit a strong proof that the imports were
decreasing, and the exports increasing, and accounts
satisfactorily for the advance in the price of the funds
and the rate of the exchange.
From Monte Video there is nothing authentic,
but at Buenos Ayres the blockade of the coast-
ing trade from the Oriental Republic had been put a
complete stop to. On the other hand, the French
were endeavouring to render the blockade affective as
regards the entrance of foreign vessels from abroad.
The exchange at Buenos Ayres had fallen to 2s. per
dollar. In Eutre hiss, Urquiza was at the head of
9,000 troops, and was still threatening Corrientes, but
it was strongly suspected that his movement would
he towards Monte Video, with a view of assisting
Oribe.
