PARIS. SAR'►DAI

Too sitting of Ills Corps Logislatif to-day wr

unusua.ly interesting. The order of the day was the
debate on the war Minot 300mill.ons. NI. Schneider,
one of the Viee-Presidents of the Chamber, took the
chair, in the absence of Count de Morn 7. The

Viec,sait Anatole Lemercter. a %ell-known ultra-

montanist belonging to the party of the Univers,
express...it his hope that the Emperor, the "enemy
of roe 'evolution.•' would protect both the person
st3l th • States of the Pope. To this significant
al pe.l M Baruch, made an evasive answer, which
was m re significaot still. Ile said nothing about
the • States of the Pope,•' but assured the honour-
One member that the French government would
tan•• rim of the • security and independence of the
110:y See." Viscount de la Tour Plichon, acting as
the spokesman of a meeting of members, of
tir:viiiist tendencies, which was held yesterday at
the bowie of M. de tnambrunne, said that he

..dlored" the war. and were it not that
the French army was at this moment se-
tua:ly in the face of an enemy, he should
t (treacly have voted against the bill. He protested
ego nit the policy of letting loose the revolution in
Italy When be est down, after having been fre-
aiumtly interrupted. M. Baroehe again rose, and
&niers! that the war wee purely and simply a de-
fensive one M. Jake Fevre, *be spoke for the
first time in the present Chamber, then delivered one
of the most telling speeches that this rest orator
• ver made is his life. He took the same line of
arcuinint as the, adopted by M. Emile 011ivier the
other day, hut insisted much more pointedly upon
the tact, that the war bad been imagined, provoked,
and brought about by the French Emperor. He
co .'ended that unties the war were a revolutionary
one, having for its object the expu'aion of the
truesAtm-
and the independence of Italy, it was in the
highest degree criminal. In the course of his speech
he eaeleinied, " If you really mean to turn the Ml*.
trians oat of Italy, we are with you so far; but at
home there can never be any pact between us and
you so long as France remains deprived of liber.*
The Pi eeidiut here interrup'ed the speaker. "Yon
cannot %wallowed tospcsk in Ude way of a government
which has been repeatedly proclaimed by universal
suffrage.- M. Jules Fevre replied in a voice of
thunder, ' Such an answer is out of place to me,
• rriateeentative of the people. who was forcibly
drsucel from his seat iu this building on December
2nd." The President looked astonished at this
sti:y, but said not soother word. No representative
of government rising to answer M. Jules Fevre,
M. Sestet St. Laurent said a few words which I
were scarcely listened to, and the bill then passed
unsnimossly by the vote of 247 members. There
were a few abstentious as on the occasion of the
kindred bill toe an extra levy.
Notwithstanding the oberituious wording of M.
Beltheider's report on the Loan Bill. it does in point
of fact propose a very material amendment, which
the government was fain to ascot to. The original
plan was to allow the government to apply the
whole money under the heed of " extraordinary re-
sourcar.* whether it should in the result be all
wthird for the war or not. The Corr Legislatif
wirely objects to vote supplies in this form, re-
m mbering that the apparent surplus paraded in
re.rnt budgets has been made up by odd millions
rriulining from the Crimean war loans which were
co ally rppropriatird as current income. The present
bill. as voted, provides that the 200.000,000 shall be
eivio,ively applied for war expense', and that no
disposition of any possible surplus of the money
shell br malls without a new law.

'lce Petrie exclaims '• Austria has crossed the
Ticino she has lost Lombardy"
7n, capitalists of Frankfort ars so much afraid of
war ttutt the question has been seriously discussed by
tb= batik directors whether it is not adviaable to
rs move the lugs stores of bullion in the cellars of
that cstablialinsent to some othar town.

Communications between Sardinia and the Duchies
are into-reepted by the Amtrians.
Tn. inc of defence which we learn by telegraph
that the K tog of Sardinia has just visited, accom-
panied by Marshal Canrobert and General Niel, ex-
tends horn the river Dora Baltra to the Seek. The
Dora, or I)4in' lialtea, rises at Itie foot of Mount St.
Bernard. and Sows from west to east, through the
valley of Aosta. Coder the first empire this river
gave its name to a French department, of which
Jort, w-s the capital. It throws itself into the Po •
little below Chatillon. This part of Piedmont may
at this season be readily laid ander water by raising
the dams of the rice canals.

The certainty that the Austrians had crowed the
Ticino m large numbers caused a continuance of the
panic at the Bourse. The Bente fell 60 for cult and
:16 for account closing at 61.30 and 0.40. These
-sere and the lowest pnces of the day, for the Rents
we. sat one moment quoted so low or 00.70. Idobilier
fell 7.34. The railways were all from 11 to 10 lower.
A Nladrid letter states that the house of
M. de Garin, an emineut French pianist, was
mobbid just as he was preparing to give a concert at
Court, in consequence of telegraphic intelligence
that at. article signed by him had appeared in the
rt &Ming upon the character of Spanish
ladies in general. NI. Barrot, the French ambassa-
dor, had ree-tutisieaded him, for his own safety, to
leari Spain immediately.
