LATEST INTIMLIGENCE.

THE CONGIIESS.

The Nord of te-day says :—" At length we are to
have a congress. England, which up to the laid
moment appeared to subordinate its adhesion to coa-
-1 cessions that would have anticipated the solution,
has at last decided to join the other powers in
removing a crisis which might have been
fatal to all Europe. Already the letter of
11 the Emperor Napoleon has traced the political
programme which France will bring to the congress.
This programme, which hes only a conditional value,
is generally approved by the European press. En-
gaged, in spite of herself, by the preliminaries of
I Villafranca, France hen done all she can for the
unity and independence of Italy; bat the other
powers, free from any engagement, bring to the
regulation of the Italian question no personal in-
terest, and having to defend only the general in-
terests of Europe, possess an entire liberty of action,
and will come to sit in the congress animated by the
sole desire to give to the Italian question a fit solu-
tion—not to put off the dangers, but to make them
completely disappear."

The Drbats, of to-day, publishes a letter from
Berlin, which pretends to give the present situation
of the English Cabinet. This writer asserts as a
fact "no longer doubtful " that Lord John Russell
and others are about to withdraw from the
government, and that the new Foreign Minister
will be Lord Clarendon.

Mr. Reuter has received a telegram to-day, from
Paris, which says:—" The French and English
governments have completely agreed on the bases of
the congress which is to be held at Brussels. All
that remains to be settled is an official ratification
from the English government."
