PARIS, 81111 DAT MORNINth

The war—which from the date of the Emperor's
speech of January 1, I have never ceased to repre-
sent to you as certain—having now begun, if it is
not yet formally declared, there is a momentary lull
in the public mind. It is useless to talk of the dy-
ing phases of the unhappy negotiations, and it is
too soon to look for news of a first battle which,
however, people will be impatiently looking for in
few days. The private telegraph is virtually sup-
premed, and very soon the government will have a
monopoly of early news whether true or false.
The Emperor, as you know, is fond of annivena-
rime. I stated my belief yesterday that he would
review the national guard on the anniversary of
Napoleon's death, May 6. I have now very little
doubt that he will set out to join the army of Italy
on the following day, May 6, which is the anniver-
sary of Napoleon's departure from Paris previous to
the battle of Marengo, which was fought on
June 14.

The Monileur de relernee announces that the
" army of the Alpe " takes henceforth the appella•
tion of the "army of Italy."

The Bentinelle-Toulonnaire states that the head-
quarters of the Lombardo-Venetiau navy has been
removed from Trieste to Venice.

We read in the Pays:

All mate of rumours are afloat, moot of which mast be re-
ceived with the greatest eircamspectioa. Among other
thugs it le sold Met as Matti= corps d'artnee has marched
upon NoW, to order to cat off commatdadioa by the railway

b;twein &mos and Turin. It mann to say, France troops

re at Genoa, sad they will know hew to hoop up their line

It is announced that M. de Hubner and the entire
personnel of his legation will quit Paris to-morrow
morning. He leaves the interests of Austrian sub-
jects in France to the care of the Dutch envoy. M,
de Hubner yesterday paid a farewell visit to M.
Thiers, and took leave of his friends at the Union
Club.

The dfoniteur of to-day publishes a circular
note, dated the 27th of April last, addressed by
Count Walewski to the diplomatic agents of foreign
powers. The note describes the present position of
political affairs, and expresses much satisfaction at
the conciliatory spirit displayed by England, Prussia,
and Russia. It states the wish that the other
power' which compose the Germanic confederation
may not allow themselves to be misled by reminis-
cences of epochs quite different from the present,
and hopes that the statesmen of Germany will per-
ceive that it depends on them to put limits upon the
extension and duration of a war which France con-
scientiously feels that she hu not provoked.
