PARIS, THUSIIDAT EVIININO.

The confusion in the political situation which I
noticed as the leading feature of yesterday, is
worse confounded to-day. It is evident that
diplomatic negotiations are going on anything
but smoothly. lam assured that Lord Cowley and
Count Walewski, after a long discussion to-day, se-
parated with the conviction that very serious dif-
ferences of opinion exist between the two govern-
'menu, and that the great fall in the Bourse, otherwise
unexplained, is attributable to this circumstance.
I learn from a good source that a treaty has
been concluded between Belgium and Holland
for mutual defence in case of war breaking
out. It is agreed between the high contract-
big partied, that in certain given eventualities
a joint army of 120,000 men shall be set on foot, of
which 80,000 are to be furnished by the King of the
Belgians and 40,000 by the King of Holland. In
consideration of this difference between the military
eontingentr, the King of Holland engages, at his
own expense, to fit out a fleet, to be stationed in the
Scheldt and the Meuse.

At the Bonzes the Bents, which was depressed all
day, (dosed ultimately at 67.40 and 67.26, with a fall

announced that the new regulation by which the
'Bourse is to commence bullied at 13 o'clock indeed
lof 1, will come into operation to-morrow. The
coeds:lse will begin operations at about half-past 10,
so that you may expect telegraphic news of the
opening prices much earlier than heretofore.
Tin Prefecture of the ancient and splendid city of
Bourges has been burnt down; all the valuable re-
cords contained in it are destroyed. _ _

Mr. Barry Baldwin, formerly member of parlia-

at Mr. Reuter's office :

DRESDEN, TlitliSDAY.

The Dresden Journal alleges its acquaintance with
the fact that according to a more recent counter-
proposal of France, which is said to be also seconded
in other quarters, the Congress will assemble on the
23rd inst. at Carisruhe, and will commence operations
by resolving on a general disarming.

TURIN, Aran 11.

Although convinced that my letters cannot com-
pete with those telegrams which are now careering
through Europe, it is still my province to send you
due notice of any certain event. Yesterday this go-
vernment was officially informed that Austria had,on
the 9th, despatched another force of 40,000 men towards
Italy ; and the official Gazette of Milan published
on the same day the announcement of the municipal
congregation, stating that by superior orders it celled
out the soldiers of the reserve. This sending of
40,000 men and calling out of the reserve do not
denote much hope of a congress. In my humble
opinion such acts of Austna are her response
to Lord Derby's cabinet, which, I can assure you,
recognises as legitimate in substance the demands
drawn up by Count Cavour in his memo-
tandem of March I, and declares that England
cannot dispute them in congress but can only
consent to certain modifications of them. Lord
Malmesbury has confessed in some of his official
communications that the forts built round Piacenza
are a breach of the treaties both in letter and
spirit. In the same way the English minister, with
regard to the affairs of Rome, considers the proposi-
tions enunciated by Count Cavour in his memoran-
dum of 1886 to be the only ones capable of giving
repose and order to the papal states, and rendering
their evacuation by foreign troops possible; to
all this he adds his wish for a confederation of the
Italian States lout from Austria. He feels uncer-
tainty as to what demands should be made respecting
the internal administration of Lombardo-Venetia, bat
it is thought here, in government circles, that his lord-
ship will be either unwilling or unable to reject Lord
Palmenton's idea. The late English Premier was
of opinion, I believe, that if Lombardo-Venetia
remained annexed to the Austrian empire it ought
to obtaia an administration altogether distinct even
in a military sense. If lam not greatly mistaken,
this very idea will be the basis of Lord Malmesbnry'e
next communication.
You will not fail to perceive that such being
the actual state of the case, it will appear to
Austria to be her interest to break off all the pre-
liminaries of a congress, and in confirmation of your
judgment, it may be remarked, that the official
Gazette of Vienna has never published Austria's
assent to the convocation of a congress. Everything
proclaims to the world that the house of Hapsburg
sees no honourable solution save that of war, and
trusts that Germany, now or later, will come up as an
auxiliary to the field of battle. It is to be admitted
that Prussia is not perfect mistress over the line of
policy she is to take; at least some of her diploma-
tists allege this by way of excuse, as I told you in
a former letter.
In conclusion, we are in daily expectation of being
attacked. The government has summoned by tele-
graphic message the Neapolitan General tilos, now
living at Pane, the man that signalised himself so
greatly in the defence of Venice daring the siege of
1848 and 1849. He will have the command of
another volunteer carp, to be named the Chasseurs
of the Apennines. The mission of the Chevalier
D'Azeglio to Paris is certain, but they say it is to be
an extraordinary one to the Emperor, and that he is
not to supersede the Marquis Villamarins.
In the meantime we are all delighted here that
liberal ideas have triumphed in the councils of the
Queen. Pardon me for once more reiterating that
the province of free and powerful England is to take
part in the war seemingly imminent not by having
recourse to arms, but by circumscribing it and causing
it to turn out prosperously for the Italian nation. I
have it from high and good authority, that a mani-
festo of Napoleon will shortly appear, in which he
will again declare what his sentiments are respecting
nationalities, and what France proposes to do in
Me of certain eventualities that seem both near and
probable.
