THE WAR.

The cavalry of the French army is to form eight
divisions, of sixteen brigades and thirty-two regi-
ments, to be oommanded by Generals d'Allonville,
Morris, Partonneaux, and Grant. The infantry is
at first to form twelve divisions of twenty-four
brigades and forty-eight regiments, and twelve bat-
talions of riflemen; it is subsequently to be increased
to eighteen divisions.
The officers who had been detached from the dif-
ferent corps which now form pert of the army of
the Alps, in order to attend the school for gunnery
practice, have been ordered to rejoin their respective
regiments within twenty-four hones.
A telegraphic despatch from Toulon announces
the arrival in that port of six Sardinian steamer',
the Dora, Mozambaao, Tenses, Governolo,
Mel-
fatono, and Carlo-Alberto, for the purpose of taking
troops on board. The regiments which left Toulon on
the 27th for Genoa are the 17th foot Chasseurs,
and the 74th, 84th, 91st, and 98th of the line. The
46th and 81st have arrived at Toulon, and the Bth
foot Chasseurs are expected. The Algesiras, which
had conveyed troops to Genoa, has returned to
Toulon.

" Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, ex-repre-
sentative of the Constituent Assembly of 1848 and
of the Legislative Assembly, has," says the Back,
" offered his services to the Emperor to fight against
Austria in Italy, but the offer has. not yet been ac-
cepted."
Advice from Milan speak of the immense
number of troops passing through that city
to the Piodmoatese frontier, and the Austrian
authorities have issued an interdiction to
all civilians to proceed there, without spe-
cial permission. The Grand Duke Maximilian
has left for Venice, and was obliged to wait two
hours at Blank, a station some miles from Milan, so
great was the crowd of soldiers coming in the con-
trary direction on both the lines of rail.
Among the acts of devotedness mentioned in the
Italian journals is the case of an advocate of
Modena, who has brought his seven children, four
boys and three girls, to Turin. The former have
enrolled themselves as volunteers, and the latter are
to act as arcurs-de-charite in the ambulances and
hospitals.
M. de Hubner, the Austrian Ambassador, had a
long interview with the Emperor on Thursday, at
the close of which he despatched a courier to
Vienna.

The Hamburg News Mates from Vienna that, ac- I
cording to a telegram from Trieste, a British squadron
hu left Malta for the Adriatic. It is added that
another squadron is to mules before Genoa.
A Vienna letter of the 26th, in the Boers's/mine,
gives some details of the intended plan of operations
which Austria has decided for the campaign : .

The epeniog of the operations will immediately and irre-
vocably follow the anticipated refusal of Piedmont. This
resolution of the Emperor has been approved of
by all the ministers, and will, perhaps, have
for remit to ewe the pesos of the world, Austria being resol-
ved net to enter the congress as long as Piedmont shall be in
arms. And Piedmont, like Francs, acting deceitfully with
regard to the disarmament, Austria will effect the disarma-
ment of Piedmont before the French army min pm-
moth ; and then she will declare that ahe is ready to
socept the Congress if France should remain disposed to
enter one. If, on the contrary, France should declare for
war, Austria will not hesitste to take up the gauntlet. A
strong offensive blow on the Piedmont's, army, to be fol-
lowed by the immediate retrest of the Austrian army into its
limas of defence, would show that Austria has no intention
of conquering or occupying Piedmont, but only of ells cling
her disarmament.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The news of to-day is little more than an echo of
my letter of yesterday. At the moment when I
wee writing, the Rente, which had left off at the re-
gular Boon/eat 82fr.23e., was done on the Boulevard
at 84fr., upon the strength of the announcement in
the Petrie that France had "taken into consideration"
the offered mediation of England. I explained to
you at some length the grounds upon which it ap-
peared to me certain that France would not accept
the mediation except upon conditions which would
be held inscceptable both by Austria and
England. This view is now entirely confirmed
both by the French press and the disastrous
state of the French funds. _ _ _

The Bourse did not adopt the ephemeral rise in
the Conlin* of yesterday evening. The Rents
opened rather lower than yesterday, and after rising
but a few centimes, closed heavily at 61fr. 'lac. for
account, and 621,.. for cub, with a fall of 90c. and
70e. Mobilier fell 22fr. 60e. The Orleans railway
fell 22fr. 60e. ; Lyons, 12fr. 60c. ; Southern,
' lfr. 260.; and the other lints nearly 10fr.
Au official despatch states that Marshal Baragnay
d'Btlliers, who left Toulon yesterday in the Alge-
mins, arrived at Genoa this morning.
Private despatches are now delayed, and none of
any importance have been made public to-day.
There are rumours that war has been declared by
Austria, and that the Pope is virtually a prisoner in
Rome, he having wished to escape to Ferrara, but
having been politely informed by General Guyon that
if he was not satisfied with French protection at
Rome, the French government would be happy to
protect him either in France or Algeria, but did not
think it for his interest that he should trust him-
self to Austrian bayonets. I cannot verify this news.
It is rumoured that the Memorial Diplomatigue
is now definitively suppressed.
The Prefect of the Loire his warned the Nantes
journals that they must not publish any important
news in supplemental editions without submitting it
to him. This in only a symptom of measures which
are likely to become general.
M. Horace Vernet's marriage with Madame du
Bois Rieheux was celebrated yesterday in the pri-
vate chapel of the Archbishop of Paris.

By the Novae—Austrian scientific explore-
tka ship—front Sydney, firs boxes with aria/ride-
;deal and geological collections have been despatehed
to Europe, destined for the Novara llumeans. D.
Hoehatetter, who has bean engaged by the Governor of
New Zeeland to stay behind for six months, in a letter
to the Royal Academy of Science, declares (rays the
48Aelieuxe) the remains of the extinct primitive salamis
farad in Australia astonishing. While Antratie has
always been c moldered the newest continent, he has mat there
with the moat emeient and primitive forms in Fora and
Fauna, proving Anstralie to be the oldest continent of the
earth. While Europe had to go through several e trth revo-
lutions, Australia's conUnent, since the primeval period,
has not been covered with the see, and has developed itself
undisturbedly. _ _
