TEST INTALIGENCE:
FRANCS
PARIS, SATossa.r.

The Constitoti(mne/ has an article, signed by its
chief editor, M. Orandgnillot, endeavouring to re-
fute the diatribes of the English orators and
journalists.
This article recalls that Napoleon has done
everything to render the alliance acceptable,
which, E ruptured, would be the signal for a
struggle and for fresh troubles.
M. Grandguillot believes " this alliance is so
firmly connected with modern ideas and necessities
that a partial denial will not be strong enough to
break it."

ROME.
(aarnues TELZOILIN.)
ROME, MARCH 27 (via Marseilles).

It is asserted that the Pope has again written to
King Victor Emmanuel, declaring that his Holi-
ness will be compelled to interrupt all relations
with the royal family, and threatening to employ
the most extreme severities of the church should
the King persist in occupying the Legations.
In case of its evacuation by the French, Rome
will be moupied by the Pontifical troops. Neapoli-
tan troops will enter the Marches. At Ancona
3,000 men of the papal army are concentrated.
General Lamoriciiire is about to inspect the garri-
sons. A new revolutionary demonstration in
Rome was intended but did not take place,
because, by printed sheets, secretly distributed,
the people were told that the French troops might
beams annoyed.
The official journal directs the attention of its
readers to the manifestations which took place on
Friday and Sunday last during the passage of the
Pope, and mentions that 300 Irish had been re-
ceived at the Irish college and at the French semi-
nary. The journal adds that Ireland has always
been heroic even under the secular misfortunes
under which she labours.

COUP-DE-11AIN IN NORTH
SAVOY.

We hive received the following copy of a des-
patch from Berne :

" BEZNE, MARCH 30, 4 o'ctocc.

" A body of about fifty armed meu from Geneva
made an attempt (ont taste an coup-de-main) upon
Thonon last night. The Federal Council has sent
off a commissioner to Geneva, and has directed
that a rigorous inquiry should be instituted, with
a view to the punishment of the guilty. The
government of Geneva, unanimously supported,
has loudly blamed such imprudent conduct. It
has issued a proclamation announcing that those
who have been guilty of this act will be punished,
and energetic measures have been adopted to pre-
vent the repetition of any similar attempt"
Thonon is the chief town of Chadds* on the
southern shore of Lake Leman. According to the
brief despatch furnished by Mr. Reuter, the party
concerned in this aimless movement left Genova on
board one of the steamers plying on the lake. As
the country is still in legal possession of the Sar-
dinian government, it is at Turin that the Swiss
authorities will have to present their explanations
and apologies. Although the greatest excitement
prevails throughout the Confederation in view of
11 the threatened occupation of North Savoy by
France, the Federal Government is certain to re-
ceive the support of the entire republic in marking
its displeasure at an act calculated to prejudice
that reputation for legality which the Swiss enjoy
in Europe.

OENEVA, itAsof 30, HALF-PAST 10 P.Y.

The landing failed and the result was ridiculous.
Perrier with his band of Radicals (sa bande de
Fruitiers) were stopped on the lake by the Militia,
and brought back prisoners to Geneva.
Ziegler is examining them at this moment. He
has full powers from the Federal Council.
Public confidence is restored.

FRANCE AND SAVOY.
PARIS, Pamir, itkaca 30.

The Pays publishes a despatch, announcing that
General Garibaldi has been elected deputy for Nice,
but only at the second election, as the necessary
number of votes was not obtained at the first
ballot. The name paper has an article by M.
Grunier de Cassagnac, expressing its regrets
on account of the reproaches of England con-
cerning the annexation of Savoy, and pointing
out the contradictions in the conduct of that
power, who, although encouraging the an-
nexation of Central Italy to Piedmont, opposes
that of Savoy to France ; and who, while support-
ing the project of the annexation to Sardinia of the
States of the Church and of Naples, which two
countries do not solicit such annexation, refuses to
accede to the desire of the inhabitants of the
lonian Islands to be re-united to Greece.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, SAlulnAr, MARCH 31.
Hanover has raised fresh difficulties with respect
to the redemption of the Stade dues. The 14th
May next has beer fixed by England as the final
term for Hanover to give in her declaration.

The %rens Zeitung ;ay' :
"The reply of Prussia to M.Thouvenel's despatch
is in reality of a rather evasive character. It ex-

presses great dissatisfaction on account of the an-
nexation of Savoy, but it cannot be characterised

as a protest. As regards the claims of Switzerland,
Prussia has not yet sent her reply to the note of
the Federal Council. The statement that Prussia
intend, to establish two fortified encampments ia,
according to reliable information, without any
foundation."
