LATEST, INTELLIGE;

!PORTED INVASION OF PIEDMONT.'
MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

The following telegraphic news has been received
in Paris, but we feel bound to observe that oar own
accounts throw considerable doubt upon the state-
ments ; in fact, the crossing of the Ticino by the
Austrians is disbelieved in well-informed quarters:
The Austrian', 100,000 in number, have crossed
the Ticino. The French troops, of which two divi_
siona have already crossed Mount Cenis, have
received orders not to fight before the artillery
arrives. Mount Cenia is covered with snow,
Three thousand men are at work , clearing
the road, but is not thought that the artillery can
come up in less than five or six days. Generals

MaeMahon and Bszaine are at Genoa. Marshal
Canrobert was taken sick at Grenoble, where he was
obliged to go to bed for some hours. He, however,
recovered sufficiently to go on after a short rest, and
must by this time be at Genoa, where two French
regiments, which landed yesterday, met with the
most enthusiastic reception. Flowers were thrown
upon them from the window., women publicly kissed
the French soldiers in the streets, tables were laid out
in front of the houses laden with bread, wine, ham,
sausagee, &c., of which the troops were invited to
partake."

It is 'lmpure& that the French Senate will to-
day preaent an address to the Emperor, beseeching

Illitreaces as regards France.
