MUT OF An INTERVIEW AT TOIPLITi.
Next lb...above heading the Nord dir today
Habeas a communication to which it attaches Alt
importance. Nothing, says this account, want
signed at the interview at Tceplitz, but the engage-
ments entered into were consigned, at the solicita-
tion of the Emperor of Austria, to a protocol which
has been drawn up since the meeting. The follow-
ing, according to the Nord, were the engagements
concluded between the two princes :
" L The Prince Regent and the Emperor of
Austria undertake to firmly hold together on the
Eastern question, on the ground of the Treaty of
Paris ; to prevent especially everything that can
affect the integrity of the Ottoman empire, and to
confer on this subject with the cabinet of London.
"2. In the home question of Germany, Austria
has made some important concessions, particularly
in the military question ; she engages, moreover,
to make no opposition to the liberal reforms iden-
tified with Prussian policy in the internal questions
of Germany.
"3. With regard to Italian affairs, the Prince
of Prussia recognises that the possession of Venetia
is of real importance to the Austrian empire ; but
he declines all engagement on this head as long as
the Italian movement is restricted to the Italians
themselves. If, on the other hand, a foreign
power takes part in it, the Prince Regent under-
takes to lend Austria the support of the Prussian
forces.

" 4. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent un-
dertakes to employ all his good offic- 1 and personal
influence with the Emperor Alexander, to bring
about a reconciliation and a rapprochewont between
Russia and Austria."

CONSPIRACY TO ASSASSINATE
GARIBALDL

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
trim oul,tiwn comizeroworwr.)
PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
The telegrinw Which originally appeared in Eng-
lish papers reporting the landing of Garibaldi at
Reggio, at the head of 8,000 men, appear to have
been altogether false. Conflicting and unreliable
telegrams from Naples and Genoa continue to be
received, but nothing is certainly known beyond
"this--that Naples is in a state of siege, and the
King is making great demonstrations of resistance,
while Garibaldi is combining his plans for en
attack.

It is now positively stated here that the alleged
threatening note of Austria to Sardinia, which
caused so much anxiety at the Bourse last week,
has no existence. The Bourse was, however, much
depressed. The Rente sustained a fall of 25c. for
cash and 20c. for account, closing at 67fr.
Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. In railways there was little
change. There is a general indisposition to do
speculative business, and it has been estimated that
beyond the brokers and their agents there were
not more than 200 people on 'Change to-day.
High hopes were entertained yesterday, when the
weather took up almost miraculously for the fête,
that summer was at length really going to begin.
The new moon of to-day was confidently looked
forward to as the commencement of a beneficent
era. A bright starlight night, prolonged tills am.,
cradled the late votaries of the holiday in this illu-
sion. But the last reveller had scarcely gone to bed
when the familiar black low clouds reappearzd, and
although they have now and then retreated for a
few momenta, it was only to take in fresh supplies
of water, which they have been pouring down in
torrents nearly all day. Nothing like this season
has been seen for the last forty-five years. I hope
it may be true, as reported, that in many parts of
France the harvest is good—and the comparative
firmness of the corn market gives some counte-
nance to this version ; but, speaking of what I know
from ocular demonstration, I must say that the
grass crops in the immediate neighbourhood of
Paris are the worst I ever saw in my 117 e.
Three criminals of the darkest dye—named Jo-
annon, Deschamps, and Chrdtien—were guillotined
at Lyons on Tuesday last for a series of murders.
The curiosity to ace them executed was intense.
For several nights before the fatal event came off
crowds of people encamped from sunset to sunrise
upon the place of execution. When at last the
direful morning came, a singular accident occurred.
A man who had passed the night on the branch of
a walnut•tree overlooking the scaffold had fallen off
to sleep, like Lord Tomnoddy, just as the pri-
soners were marching out of the prison to their
deaths. In falling from the tree he seriously in-
jured three or four people, and was dreadfully hurt
himself. The brother of one of the culprits
(Joannon) claimed the head from the executioner
the moment after it was cut off, and at once
wrapped it up in a handkerchief to baffle the cu-
riosity of the crowd. The body was given to him
shortly afterwards for interment without funeral
rites.

In the window of Giroux's toyshop on the
Boulevard des Capucines, there is now exhibiting a
model in wood of the triumphal arch of the Etoile,
and the public are informed by a scroll that it is a
dissecting puzzle made for the Imperial Prince by
order of the Emperor. There is always a crowd
looking at it. lam afraid the youthful prince will
be taught to believe that France really gained all
the battles the names of which are carved upon
that monument ; if so, he will have to unlearn a
good deal of his history when he grows older.

SARDINIA.
The following circular appears in the Officio,/
Journa/ of the 14th inst.:

TURIN, Atiorer 13.
The Sicilians having risen three months ego for the con-
quest of their liberty, and General Garibaldi, with a few
brave men, having gone to their aid, Europe was filled
with the fame of his victories : all Italy was moved, and
great was the enthusiasm in this kingdom, where the insti-
tutions and habits of freedom offer no impediment to the
manifestation of public sentiment. Hence the generous sub-
scriptions and the great number of volunteers that have
gone to Sicily.
If in less disturbed times people were praised for giving
sympathy and aid for the liberation of foreign nations, and
it governments, in obedience, let us say, to the universal
feeling, where they could not openly favour, yet allowed
succour to be given to America, Greece, Portugal, and Spain,
which fought for independence and liberty, it may be
trusted that civilised Europe will judge fairly and tem-
perately of the measures of the King's government on
the occasion of this irresistible national movement.
Now, Sicily has come into a condition to empress ,
freely her own wishes, and the King's government,
which has to guard all the constitutional prerogatives of the
crown and parliament, and has also to fulfil that duty of
supreme moderation in respect of the national movement
which belongs to it, both by the proofs it has given and by
the public consent, regard Asa a duty to moderate all irre-
gular action. and to cheek the illegitimate interference in
affairs of state of any who have not the weighty constitu-
tional and moral responsibility which it (the government)
owes to the crown, the parliament, and the nation. Other-
wise it might happen that, through the counsels
and actions of those who havo neither warrant
nor public responsibility, the state should he endangered,
and the fortune of Italy damaged. And since in free state'
civil order and discipline depend less on the rigour of the
law than on public opinion, the undersigned requests you
to eve the greatest possible publicity to this circular letter.
The undersigned has many times given warning that
it cannot and will not be tolerated, that pre-
parations of violence against neighbouring governments
should be made, and has ordered that they should
be prevented at all coat. He hopes that public opinion Is
sufficient to check inconsiderate impulses, but at all events
he trusts in the civil and military authorities for the
prompt execution of the orders he has given. He
enjoins, however, afresh that those should be sought out
with still greater diligence, and punished with all legal
severity, who, conspiring and trafficking to the injury of
the national honour and military discipline, become enters
and abettors of desertions.
And since the undersigned has to carry out the laws re-
garding the National Guard, and to prepare the formation
of bodies composed of volunteers of the National Guard as
the laws enable, it will not be permitted that others should
procure sod assemble volunteers in soy other manner.
In conclusion, the undersigned must declare that if
the King's government is constant in its desire to accept the
loyal concurrence of all the political parties that aim at the
liberty, union, and grentacee of the country, it is also firm
in its intentiois not to let itself be superseded by any one
who has not from the King and the adage the warrant and
responsibility of the government. Italy ought to belong and
must belong to the helium, and not the eitiquen—ltraMill.
