satioo. Napoleon 111. has declared that he lam but
one ambition, the triumph of the sacred cause of the
enfranchisement of a people, and that he will never
be influenced by family interests. Re has said that
the only object of France, who is content with her
present power, is to have on her frontiers a people
which shall owe her regeneration to her. If God
help us, and give us the victory, Italy will freely
constitute herself; and being hereafter counted
among nations, she will render the balance of power
in Europe more secure. Remember that no sacri-
fices are too great when independence is to be the
price of your efforts, and show the world, by your
union, moderation, and energy, that you are worthy
to be free. _ . _ .

" The prince commanding in chief the 6th corps
of the army of Italy, " NAPOLEON,
" (Jerome.)"

The plan of the campaign about to be undertaken
by Prince Napoleon is said to be to march through
the Duchy of Modena, and thence either to Venice
or to Milan, where he will meet the Emperor
Napoleon. It is alleged that the invasion of Modena
cannot be considered as a violation of neutrality, in-
asmuch as the Duke of Modena has protested against
the entrance of the French into Italy.

NAPLES.

During the lut agony of the King troops were

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PION 01111 OWN

PARIS, TURSDAT Erzenzo.
The proclamation issued by Prince Napoleon at
Leghorn is very interesting. The prince, by his
alliance with the house of Savoy, has become an im-
portant personage, independently of the confidence
which the Emperor seems lately to have placed in
him. His repetition in such emphatic terms of the
Emperor's promises of disinterestedness engages his
personal responsibility, and must be regarded elan
additional and serious guarantee that the indepen-
dence of Italy, and not the aggrandisement of
France, is the object of the war.
M. Demmler, a military professor of the Evils
d'Etat Major, expresses an opinion in the Pays that
the offensive demonstration of the Austrians at Mon-
tebello is not in any way inconsistent with a general
retrograde movement of the enemy's line to the
ether side of the Ticino; so far from it, he thinks
the manccuvre was expressly intended to mask and
protect the retreat of their right wing. He con-
jectures that the corps which operated on the right
bank of the Po will now lay themselves out to defend
the Stradella defile through which passes the high
road from Alessandria to Piacenza. This defile,
formed by slopes of the Appenines which come down
nearly to the marshy banks of the Po, is a very
strong defensive position. This competent writer
desires to do justice to the military qualities of the
enemy, who, he says, "must have fought bravely,
since he resisted for the space of four hours our im-
petuous soldiers led by such an able and energetic
chief as General Forey."
M. de Hubner has been sent on a minion from
Vienna to the young King of Naples.
The " discounts" which still continue at the Bourse
produced a palpable effect for the first time to-day.
Some speculators for the fall who, having been dis-
counted, were unable to deliver their stock, were
" executed." The Rents rose 30c. for cash and 25c.
for account, closing at 61fr. 65c. and 61fr. 80e.
Mobilier rose Mr. The Southern railway rose
7fr. 60c., and the other lines from 2fr. 80c. to Mr.
The market was very firm at the close.
The Press. says in its weekly commercial re-
view :

North America la almost the only foreign country which
regularly continues rending orders of tome importance to
oar menafacturiog houses. For several months plat the
Lyons looms have been oocupied almost exclusively with
American oommiationa, and the Pariden housed positively
find a difficulty in ebtalicing the comparatively trivial quan-
tity of goods which they require for their assortment,. This
is the reason why silk, have hitherto mil:stained their Fiat
Holders of raw silks will not abate their pretensions,
became they sesame that the war now going on between the
two principal silk producing countries, Piedmont ant Lom-
bardy, must very considerably diminah the supply. The
Paris manufacturers still MeV, some Oeef• for Ergland
and Huai* hut the export trade to Italy is at
• standstill. Complaints ere also made of the
slackness of the trade with &mill Jimmies. Mexico,
Chill, Peru, and the Havanaah are in the midst of a com-
mercial criais, and there is a glut of European merchandise
in their ports. The first news of the declaration of war de-
cided several roanufa3Uriell of Mulhansen and ROAM to get
rid of their style, sad a decline is cotton tisanes was the
consequence. The downward movement was, however, but
of short duration; the micessities of cousumpion mon
brought prices to the previous rates. There has bean little
doing at Havre In raw cotton during the past week, and
prices have rather a doenward tendency. The sugar end
coffee market has bees very inanimate In Paris, with no
material change in quotations. Cereals as firmer then lad
week. Wheat Is from 2.5 c. to 50c. higher, but the millers
MOM the Hie, believing that the stake in head are very
large. The We rains have been vay beneficial. Winer are
firm, bat the vines are looking well, and should the bloom-
ing anion pass off favourab'y, it Is not thonglit that present
prices can be maintained.
The Empress purposes moving to St. Cloud shout
the end of the week, and taking up her residence
there for the summer with the Prince Imperial. Ac-
cording to orders given by the Emperor, the repairs
of the Tuileries will immediately commence, and
until these works are completed their Majesties will
make the Elyges their town residence, that palace
having been completely fitted up for their reception.
The Council of Ministers is to assemble at the
Elysees, unless when the Empress ItTent shall spe-
cially convoke it at Sr. Cloud.
