EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PLOY 0171 owl 0011NI10NDI1T.)
PARIS, THVBADAT EVENING.

There is no doubt that the fighting has now
begun. Yon will get the Austrian accounts in
Ragland long before they arrive here, and will
therefore be in a much better position than a cor-
respondent in France to attempt to strike a balance
of truth between the inevitably one-sided statements
of the contending parties. It is plain that the
official despatch in the Moisiteur, stating that up to
half-past 1 yesterday there had been " no engage-
ment," was incorrect. The Pattie, feeling this, is
reduced to misquote the Moniteur, which it repre-
sents as having announced that there has been no
serious" engagement. We now learn by the
official bulletin published at Turin, that on the occa-
sion of the Austrians attempting to pass the Po at
Frassinetto, firing commenced on the 3rd, and
lasted " fifteen holm ;" and that the firing re-
commenced in the afternoon of the 4th, and
lasted " all the rest of the day." Considering that
the Austrians are known to be well supplied with
artillery, which probably took a large part in the
firing alluded to, the Patric must be bloodthirsty
indeed if it does not call the engagement a " serious"
one. The Petrie would probably have done better
not to correct the wording of the despatch in the
lifositsur, which may after all be accurst, u far as
it goes, if we read the assertion that there has been
"no engagement," as restricted to the occasion of
the passage of the Po by the Austrian troop. near
Cambio. The cannonading alluded to in the tele-
grams is connected with an alleged unsuccessful
attempt of the Aurtrians to arose the river " below
Frassinetto." A postscript in the bulletin of the
Pattie mentions& "private report" that the Austrians
had been compelled totems. the Po, in consequence
of the inundations. The affairs alluded to in the
telegrams of this afternoon are understood to have
taken place between the Austrian, and Sardinians
exclusively. I do not hear that the French have
yet fired a shot.
The expected review of the National Guard did
not take place to-day. The usual proosesion (on
May 5, the anniversary of the death of Napoleon I.)
of old soldiers, in uniforms of the empire, from the
Invalids. to the column in the Place Vendome, took
place, and, owing to existing circumstances, natu-
rally excited more attention than formerly.
Nothing certain is known concerning the day of
the Emperor's departure. The Freese speaks of it
a. being " again postponed."
No letters or newspapers from any part of Italy
have arrived in Paris to-day.
The Bourse was rather firm in the morning, bat
the slight tendency towards a rise was depressed by
news of failures at Berlin, Vienna, and Liverpool.
The Bente, after having touched 61fr. 25c., closed
heavily at 61fr. for cash, and 60fr. 93c. for account,
with a fall of 15e. and 10c. Mobilier fell 15fr. The
Northern Railway rose 2fr. 50c., but all the other
lines were about sfr. lower.

It is averted in Sullier's correspondence, on the
faith of a letter dated from " Head-quarters,
Nancy," that the French government has suggested
to M. Mon, the Spanish Ambassador, that in order
to give some proof of the friendly relations which
exist between the two countries, Spain would do
well to send a corps of 26,000 men to reinforce the
army of Italy. I rather think that rumours of this
kind have been circulated before, and contradicted.
A mass for the repose of the soul of General
Boost, at which Signor Tamberlik will sing, is an-
nounced for Saturday evening at 11 o'clock, at the
church of the Madeleine.
