by representing union with Sardinia t er
impracticable, a different kind of premium breoght
to bear on Sardinia to prevent her frees aegis dig
the proffered union. Louis Nsrourottilidireedy
suggests to the King of SARDINIA that all NINON-
lion of Lombardy depends on his rejestioa at the
offer made by the Central States. But VICTOR ENKA-
Rum, will not be driven from the course which duty
eat patriotism dictate by an empty threat of this
kind. LOUIS NAPOLEON dare not hand back Lour
hardy to Austria, and Austria cannot and will sot
attempt to wrest it from Piedmont. The quer
ties of the Diaries need not be complicated
with that of Lombardy, but must be considered apart.
Lombardy is united to Sardinia de facto as the
Duchies now are de jure. No external power can
annul this settlement of the Italian question, which
has been solemnly made by the Italians themselves
and if • European Conference assemble, it can only
be to recognise and confirm it. The notion that the
union of the parities with Piedmont would destroy
the balance of power is as baseless, not to my
absurd, as the notion that it would destroy the
filmdom and independence of the States themselves.
A powerful kingdom of Northern Italy would directly
contribute to secure the peace of Europe by freeing
t►e Peninsula from the rival machinations of France
and Austria, which are the chronic sources of its
disturbance.

PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.

The Celt, Cape mail steamer, arrived at Plymouth
this morning. Among her peneengera are the
Governor Sir George Grey and Lady Grey. Great
regret has been expressed in the colony at his
excellency's recall, and a petition has been forwarded
from the colonists to the Queen, asking for Sir
George's re-appointment.
Great drought was experienced in the colony, and
provisions were very dear in consequence.
News had been received from Dr. Livingstone up
to the let of June. He had been very successful In
exploring the Zambesi asd the Shire. He found
these navigable far into the interior, and that they
traversed districts very favourable for colonisation.
A new lake has been found greatly sarpusing the
N'Oami.

The Boscawon, Hermes, and Brisk were in Simon's
Bay. The Lyra sailed from Natal for Mauritius,
July 10. The Persian sailed from Natal for Mourn-
biqae, August 9.
The Vasco di Gams, which rescued the craw of
the Shah Jehan, has arrived in St. Helens. Captain
Newman reports that he saved 61—viz., the captain,
officers, and erew—all the eoolies (360) perished. The
Shah Johan was bound to the West Indies, and was
burnt at ma luly 1. The crew were landed at
Amnion.

reforms in the system of direct taxation.
The president and secretary to the commission
are Count Hartig, and Baron de }Cub:Alborg, and the
other members consist chiefly of the ratepayers in
the different provinces.

THE ROMAGNEBE DEPUTATION AND THE
BING OF SARDINIA.

TTJEUN, Ihrr. 24.

To-day, at Moore, the Romagnese deputation was
received by the King, and the following is a sum-
mary of the reply of his Majesty to the address pre-
sented to him by the members of the deputation :
" I am grateful for the wishes of the people of the
Romagna, of which you are the interpreter before me,
"As a Catholic sovereign I shall myself always
rotate a profound and unalterable respect for the
superior Hierarch of the Church.
" As on Italian Prince I am reminded that Europe,
having in view the state of the Romagnese people,
who demanded prompt and efficient measures of
reform, has accepted formal obligations towards your
country.

" I receive your wishes, and, strong by the rights
conferred upon me, I will support your came before
the Great Powers. You may rely on their sense of
justice. Yon may rely upon the generous love of
our country of the French Emperor, who will se-

oomplish the great work of reparation he has so
powerfully begun, and who, assured of the gratitude
of Italy, and seeing the moderation which has cha-
racterised your resolution during the late momenta
of incertitude, will recognise that in the Romagna
the mere hope of a national government suffices to
put an end to civil disorders.
" When your numerous volunteers arrived, during
the days of the national struggle, to enrol themselves
under my flag, you knew that Piedmont would not
go
to war for herself slow, but for our common
country._

To-day the unanimity of your wishes and the
order which you observe at home is very gratifying
to my heart, and nothing better could CILIUM your
future destiny.
" Europe will recognise that it is her common
duty, and also to her common interest, to finish the
ose. of disorder, and thereby satisfy the legitimate
desires of the people."

EX*RESS RUM PARIS.

PARIS, BVEDAT EVE-VINO.

Opinion Natiatale says :
TY following information is given to us ma positive ; we
»praises it, however, without vouching foe its truth:

I. Some people appear to to much astonished at hearing It
mid that the oongress to meet at Brussels is to be presided
by the King of the Belgians. Nothing is, however' room
true, and the fact is explained by the compontion of the tee-
Stream England will be represented by Prince Albert,
Austria by the Grand Duke Maximilien. It is not yatknown
what prima will represent the other powers. The pontifical
and the Bpatilelt governments will be repreeented at this out-
gram: the Pope in respect of the Legations, and the QM.
of Spite en account of her reversionary rights in Penna."
It is pomeble that England, Prussia, and even Auatria will
propose the onedidatere of the Cann of Flanders for the
throw of Tammy. Others speak of the candidature of the
Prbe Olothiblo, with her husband as Prince Caere.
Parma and Modena will be amassed to Piedmont.

I find no confirmation in any quarter whatever of
the above extraordinary statement, which I em in.
alined to look upon as an immense canard.
I know of nothing to modify the conjectural view
of the political situation which I took yesterday.
The adhesion of England to the proposed congress 1
believe to be yet uncertain.
You will have observed that the telegraphic sum-
mary of the King of Sardinia's answer to the
deputation from the Legations bears oat to the letter
my confident anticipation three or four days ago
that it would not differ in substance from his speech
to the Tuscan', the Modenese, and the Parmelee.
I The hope, not unencouraged in French official
quarters, that the peculiar religions character which
the Ultramentanists attribute to the temporal throe
of the Pope as distinguished from other sovereign-
ties, would constrain Victor Emmanuel to give •
flat refusal to the offer of annexation of the
Romagna, have thus been signally disappointed. As
a Catholic prince the King will ever maintain a
profound respect for the " supreme bend of the
church," but es an Italian prince he acknowledges
the "rights" of the people of Romagna and will
support their "legitimate desires" before the great
powers. This answer very distinctly marks that
boundary line between the spiritual and temporal
character of the Pope which it is the object of the
enemies of Italian independence to obliterate.
It is announced that the Emperor and Empres
will stay at Biarritz a little longer than was lately
intended. They are not now expected at St. Cloud
till October 2. It is thought that the Emperor
will accede to the request of the city of Bordeaux,
and stay there a little while on his return. if so,
he will probably make • political speech there.
The Gironde of Bordeaux, of Sept.l9, has received a
warning for an article " containing and reproducing
offensive matter [offenses, a conveniently vague ex-
pression] of and concerning a member of the impe-
rial family." This is the first warning given since
the =nest) which wiped off old scores. The article
incriminated consists mainly of an extract from •
Florence correspondence in the Times, eating forth
various details of the alleged conspiracy to create a
kingdom of Etruria in favour of Prince Napoleon.
It is perhaps worthy of remark that the warning
does not charge the Bordeaux journal with the pro-
mulgation of " false new.," bat merely describes its
offence as something insulting to a member of the
imperial family.

Lennie Cheresa, the girl who is accused of having
stolen M. Rua's child, and who indeed con-
fesses the crime, and her mother, who is charged as
an accomplice, were brought to Paris from Orleans
on Friday evening, and were placed in the
St. Lees:. prison. Yesterday Leasie was interro-
gated during five hours by M. Camuat-Buserolles,
the judge of instruction, and her examination is not
yet concluded. It is presumable, therefore, that the
few particulars disclosed by the legal journals can
give but a very imperfect notion of this very mys-
terious case. Between the story told by the child's
nurse, who allowed her charge to be taken away from
her, and the statements attributed to Ikenie Oaten,
there are very material discrepancies. The nurse,
to account for her credulity in parting with the baby
in the Tuileries gardens, said that she wee accosted
by a well-dressed lady, of six-and-twenty, who
knew the child's name, and runtime— several
particulars concerning the members of its fa-
mily. The girl Leonia is not yet seventeen years
old. It is not stated in what rank of
life she is, but the inference from many circum-
stances is that she has not at all the appearance of
a lady. The Orleans journals, as if prompted to try
to recoacile the nurse's original statement with the
discovery made there, say that the girl looked
much older than she wu, and might well be taken
for 23 or 24. They could not bring themselves to
say that she could be mistaken for 20. The nurse '
told untruths. She said that the " lady " had given
her came and her address at No. 12, Rue de la
Psix, and she went on a pretended errand to that
address, and was absent several hours. It was sub-
sequently ascertained that she never went there,
and this led to her arrest. She is still
in custody, which would not be the as
if she were merely supposed to have been
guilty of carelessness. There is every reason to
think that she must be a party to a conspiracy, the'
ramifications of which are not disclosed. The story
of the girl Cherean is very simple though very im-
probable. She says that she was seduced by a
young man of good family in Paris ; that hoping to
induce him to marry her, she represented that she
had been delivered of a son ; that, in order to have
a child to show him she set out from Orleans to
Paris with the view of stealing one. She went to
the Tuileries gardens and took a fancy to M. Hue's
baby, whom she had never seen or heard of before,
and induced the nurse to let her hold it, sending the
woman to a shop in the Rue Rivoli to ask for some
bee which she pretended she had bought. On
ping away from the Tuileries to the lodging which
' else had taken in Paris, she threw the intent's pelisse
and pelerine into the street, and afterwards left for
Orleans the same night. She and her mother bad
tor • fortnight before been making inquiries in
Orleans for a nurse to take care of the child. That
is a fact ascertained by the inquiries of the police.
Bat one version of the story told by Lienie is, that
when she learned from the papers that the descrip-
tion of the child was universally advertised she got
frightened, renoasoed her projects of marriage, and
took the infant to a nurse on the sudden.
At all events, if the narratives published are to be be-
lieved, the Orleans police found the child at the
nurse's, thought that it answered the description,
and telegraphed to M. Has. The pelerine and po-
lkas alluded to were picked up in the Rue du
Temple by a woman named Guerin, who lent them
te • man and his wife who pretended that they
wanted to dross up • child in them for a festival,
bat in fact, as the story goes, suspected that they
belonged to M. Hue's infant. The latter took them
te him, and actually received 500 fr. reward, although
they could give no sort of clue to the whereabouts
of the child [a most wonderful story this]. The
tinder, Madame Guerin, now considers herself
robbed, and has made • police business of the affair.
The anonymous letters which M. Hun answered by
advertisement appear to have been written by ad-

venturous swindlers, and to have been totally uncon-
nected either with the theft or the discovery of the
infant. The trial, if it ever comes on, which some
people doubt, will be watched with intense cariosity.
The affair has been the great subject of conversation
in Paris all the week.
