EXPRESS FROM PAititi.

(710 X 07/ OWN CO/U/UPONDV77)
PARIS, TLL-Da.T E71.11(!70.

I am enabled to state with confidence that most
extraordinary efforts have been made at the Tuileries
both yesterday and to-day to turn the Emperor
from his purpose, and to induce him to take advan-
tage of Austria having yielded on the theoretical
question of sending troops to Belgrade to announce
to the world in a manner not to be misunderstood
that a casus /•elli is no longer upon the cords. All
the indications of the day (the article in the Con-
stieutionnel and the rise at the Bourse only excepted)
tend to show that the efforts of the peace party in
the cabinet have not been succeatfal. On the
contrary, the care and haste with which
the public is informed through various indirect
channels that the question now settled with Austria
leaves others of more importance still unsolved, is a
very remarkable symptom of a determination to
keep a sore open. The true question to every re-
fleeting mind is not whether Austria may avoid,
with more or less adroitness, affording any pretext
for the commencement of hostilities, but whether

the French Emperor will ultimately judge it for his
own interest to give employment to his vast army on
the plains of Lombardy. The 'Mats remarks saga-
ciously, and with as much point as is prudent, that
the settlement of the Servian question leaves to the
French journals which openly advocate war " the
task of finding some other diplomatic difference
sufficiently serious and sufficiently ripe to lead to the
hope of a speedy rupture." There is every likeli-
hood that the ingenuity of the jaunt!, in question
will be equal to the occasion. The Sleds this morn-
ing tells the Pays roundly that it will "find oat
more and more every day; that it, the Pays, has
not the power to stifle the voice of the Siiele—maan-
ing the voice that calls for war. The Patti*, which
till lately has taken rank as a peace journal, is this
evening singularly careful to show that the latest
news from Vienna leaves a variety of other diffical-
tias open. It ways openly that the serious difficulties
relate to Italy, which, be it remembered, we were
told semi-officially some days ago was not in the
Emperor's mind when be spoke to M. Hubner on
New Year's-day. The Pattie now says that there
is no wisdom in denying the existence of complica.
tieing which exist ; " on the contrary, let us accustom
ourselves to look them in the face, so as to appre-
ciate them calmly and dominate them authori-
tatively. In a word, let us be calm, but without
going to sleep."

TILE NNW .. LONG RANGE" GUN.

The Trusty floating battery on Wednesday under.
went the test of Armstrong's 32-pounder Wtg-range gun st
a from 200 to 40U yards. The meow-meek
rAg: vanarng African towed her over on Shoeburynets dat
on Wednesday, where she was moored broadside to the
southward. The gunboat Mayflower, tender to the Creasy,
took the gun on board from Shoebtuyness under cheege of
an artillery officer and an artillery gunner. The gun,
which loads at the breech, was charged with a 6.pound
cartridge sad one of Armstrong's layered shot. slut

ere about ten inches end a half long and about four inches
diameter; the shots are covered with lead, the outer end of
some of the shot very much mumbles the circular end of Mr,
Hall's rockets ; others form • square of shout an inch am
a half ; the barrel of the gun ts rifle-fluted down to th,
chamber. Captain Edward I'alew Halsted, of the Cr,
took his station in the missies colitis of the Trusty. Tki
target was marked &tottered, taking in three pore of the
broadside. Some common shot were fired, none of which
. .

exceeded 400 yards; these shots started the plate bolts, wood.
, work Inside the plates, beam knee., deckle, &o. One of the
newly-Invented shot, steel Nintad, was then fired, width
drove in a portion of one of the plates, went through the aide,
tearing away one of the beams, deck, &c., and peurd out
over the upper deck; another embedded itself ie the shatter-
elate and lodged in the woodwork, the outer end being jut
flush with the surface of the plate. After three or four Mott
had been deed Captain Halsted WI the Trusty's cabin, aid
proceeded on board the Mayflower. From twelve to fourteen
shots were fired with great accuracy on the part of the
artillery officer, who on each occasion laid the gun, sod
placed his shot within a foot or so, in every instance, where
requested, on the target part of the ship's aide. Some idea
may be formed of the power' of the gun from the following
statement:—The 12-pounder gun at tihoeburytern bus
gr;l1,500 of the newly-invented shot, one of which, at
arda' distance, passed through a solid body of oak
timber nine feet thick. Mr. Armstrong now paws
bringing out a gun of mach larger calibre to carry a 661 b,
shot. After the experiments the Mayflower returned the',
gun to flhoeburynesa, and on the 6th the African sod Adder'
towed the Trusty to Chatham. The whole broadside for
a considerable distance before and 'daft the target is started
0.1 every direction. One shot separated one of the plates,
splitting the plate through about one-fourth of the square of
the plate.

LAMBETH,

Mr. Peacock, solicito;;7be011;a1 Post-office, attended
before the Honourable 0. C. Norton, in compliance with the
request of that magistrate, and in cossequenos of a complaint
at this court on Thureday last, of secandalous fraud practised
les the English public by means of some letters posted at
Hamburg, and on which a postage of Bd. each is charged.
Mr. Oreesfield, who was the complainant, was in attend-
ance, and handed to the bench • number of the disgusting
tatters alluded to, which had been received in his own im-
mediate neighbourhood on Thursday morning, and used there
were zany others on which the postage had been paid, but
the Forties to whom they had been directed, finding the
filthy nature of their contents, threw them into the fire.
Mr. Peacock observed that all be could say was that the
Landes Post-office had not the power to prevent persons at
Hamburg posting letters addressed to different parties in
this constry, and passing them through the Post-office. On
the contrary, they were bound to deliver them as directed,
and the amount of postage was divided with Hamburg
and Prussia, through which the letters had been trans-
mitted.

Mr. Norton—lf I tinderetand the complaint, it is not so
much es retrarding the postage as the vile nature of the
I matter contained in the letters, and I most say that more in-
manor Nle traah cannot be conceived.

iTquite right. Upwards
of 150 of these disgraceful letters have beau delivered in
my own immediate neighbourhood within two months, and
1 shall be very glad to go any length, and do anything
TOOr worship points out, to put a stop to so vile a system of

lir: Norton—The evil is increasing to such su extent that
it ■ to me the government should take up the matter,
and I hare no doubt that if proper instructions were given to
the English Consul at Hamburg to inquire into the matter,
the parties posting them letters might be found out and
Punished, and thus an end put to this disgusting syatem of
imposition and fraud. The letters I find are all addressed in
the same handwriting, and therefore there could to no diffi-
culty in detecting the parties.
Mr. Peacock repeated that the Poet-office authorities bad
no power to interfere in the matter, but amid he should place
the matter, with the purport of his worship's observations on
the subject, before the Postmaster-General, and he had no
doubt his lordship would give It his best consideration.

SOUTHWARK,

Mr. Edward Scala, a manufacturer of the City, was sum-
mand before Mr. Sacker for unlawfully smoking a tobacco-
pipe in a second-clue carriage on the North Kent Railway,
and assaulting one of the company's officers in the execution
of hie duty.

fused to do so and still kept on smoking, when be was com-
pelled to eater the carriage and tell him to leave unlace

him, and he was obliged to have the assistance
of • gentleman in the carriage to remove him. The
defendant moat have known that no smoking was allowed
in the carriages, as placards were posted about the station as
well as in the former. The defendant acknowledged having
• lighted pipe in his month when he entered the station, but
it went oat before he got into the railway carriage.
Mr. Orilla denied that such was the case, snd called

men smoking to the carriage when he got in.

pipes away as soca as the °filar told them, bat the defen-
dant not only flatly refused, but abused end assaulted the

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

News from Corfu reports that Mr. Gladstone bad
returned on Christmasgfay from Athens, after a
sojourn of nine days in the capital of Greece,
woere he was treated with much distinction. The
Greek residents of that city had presented to him an
address in favour of the Union. Many of his remarks
in praise of the Greek nation were listened to with
great satisfaction, and he appeared to take great in-
tereat in the condition and institutions of Athens,
frequently attending the sittings of the Chamber of
Deputies and of the Senate. Upon his return to
Corfu, Mr. Gladstone did not alight at the palace of
the government, but at private lodgings, for which
he pays at the rate of 351. a month. It is believed
that he intends remaining where he is from two to
three months.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived.
The Chamber of Deputies on the preceding day had
been occupied with the bill for authorising the go-
vernment to levy the taxes without waiting for the
vote of the budget; it was approved of without a
division. In the Senate a debate took place on the
message of the President of the United States. In
the course of it, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
after stating that Spain had always acted in a
" noble and generous" manner to the United States,
declared formally that the cabinet of the United
States had not yet made any proposition for the
purchase of Cabs, and that if any were made it
would be "energetically rejected." A resolution
approving of the ministerial declaration was unani-
mously adopted. Some of the journals mention a
rumour that the Queen contemplates making a visit
to Rome, to have an interview with the Pope.
London, England, 1859-01-10

AUSTRIA AND FRANCE.

Letters from Vienna, Turin, and Milan agree in
stating that the professedly reassuring note in the
Monsieur is considered as ambiguous and unsatit-
factory. The Nord of Brussels contains the follow-
ing in its leading columns:

"The news which we receive from Paris to-day
is truly serious. We now know the cause of the
diplomatic incident of January 1. Our correspond-
ent, who sends us information of the policy of the
French government, said yesterday that the Cabinet
of Vienna, yielding to the remonstrances of the other
powers, had revoked or was about to revoke the order
sent to the commandant of Semlin to march to the aid
of the Pacha of Belgrade the moment the latter
should request him to do so. He now tells us that
he was mistaken, and that Austria, on the contrary,
continues to maintain that she has a right to inter-
fere because the tranquility of her provinces bor-
dering upon Servia would be compromised if
troubles were to break out in that principality.
This pretext, as we have often shown, is inadmis-
sible, for if good with regard to Berrie, it would
be equally applicable to the Principalities, and it
is perhaps with a view to them that the Cabinet of
Vienna is endeavouring to get the principle ad-
mitted, calculating possibly on the certainty that
her preparations for occupying Sonia are now
known to be without any immediate object, because
order there has not been disturbed for an instant.
It must be remembered, moreover, that a similar
pretext would be equally available for Russia.
Now, it Irma precisely in order to prevent the dan-
gerous consequences of these inspirations of per-
sonal interest that the treaty of Paris prohibited any
isolated intervention in the Principalities even the
intervention of their Suzerain. The powers, we
repeat, are thoroughly resolved not to allow Austria
to violate the treaty. If she does not take due account
of this opposition, she will provoke grave complica-
tions the entire responsibility of which will rest
with her."

The Nord publishes the following u the text of
the speech made by the Emperor of Austria to the
French ambassador on Jan. 4:

" I am sincerely touched by the personal senti-
ments of the Emperor. Assure him that, notwith-
standing the dissidence' occasioned by political
necessities, I have never ceased to feel the pro-
foundest esteem and the most cordial sympathy for
his person."
The .Nord observes that these words, though
less emphatic than those of the French Emperor,
show no lesselearly the existence of the state of things
which has so greatly alarmed public opinion.

TURIN. SUNDAY, JAN. 9.

The garrisons of Verona, Mantua, and Milan have
oeen reinforeed, and orders have been given to
victual the fortresses completely.
The Austrian army in Italy will be increased to
140,000 men.

VIENNA, JAN. 9.
The despatch of troops to Laibach will continue
to-day and to-morrow.

The Empress will accompany her sister, the
Duchess or Calabria (who is on her way to Naples),
as far as Trieste.

THE ROYAL SPEECH.

(IBT SUBMARIXI AND BLITI3/1 TILIGIPAPIL)

TURIN, MONDAY.

The following is a summary of the royal speech :
The King thanks the Chambers for the assistance
afforded during the last session, which consolidated
the national policy and the progress of Piedmont. He
announces that Government will bring in Bills for
judicial, administrative, and municipal reform. He
regrets that the financial crisis and the scarcity of
silk crops prevented a balance in the national
exchequer.
His Majesty says that the political horizon is not
clear, but that the future must be awaited with firm-
ness. The future cannot fail to be fortunate, because
the policy of Piedmont is based on justice and
love of its country's liberty. Piedmont is
small, but great in the councils of Europe,
on account of the principles it represents, and the
sympathies it inspires. It respects treaties, but is
not insensible to Italy's csy of anguish.
The King concludes with the words Let us
resolutely await the decrees of Providence."
Prolonged acclamations of Vice le Boi ! followed
the conclusion of the speech.
London, England, 1859-01-10

PRUSSIA.

The ministerial organ at Berlin, the Gazette Prus-
sienne, publishes an article in which we may see the
substance of the speech from the throne, to he de-
livered by the Prince Regent at the opening of the
Prussian Chambers on Wednesday. According to
this article, the speech refers to the harmony and
mutual confidence which exist between the country
and the ministry of the Regent ; the sympathy and
esteem enjoyed by the cabinet in Germany and
abroad ; and the excellent condition of the finances.
At the same time the ministerial journal an-
nounces that the government does not intend to
propose to the present legislature any impor-
tant organic laws, and that in this session,
which will be very short, it will only submit mea-
sures that are indispensable. The foreign relations
of Prussia, according to the Cozens Prussienne, are
of the mast friendly nature, and Prussia enjoys in
the European Areopagus the esteem and influence
which are her due.
