PARIS. FRIDAY Evwo.

The text of the treaty for the cession of Savoy
and Nice to France, which is published in the
Monsieur, contains nothing new ; the entire sub-
stance of it was contained in the analysis given by
the official journal a few days since.
The Pays has an article by K (Iranier de Cas-
sagnac, which merely says ditto to one of K
Grandguillot's last. The scope of the argument is
that England, by thwarting the Villafranca scheme
for an Italian confederation, and encouraging Sax-,
dins to effect the annexation of the whole of Cen-
tral Italy, is the only breaker of the treaties of
1815, and is alone responsible for the events which
made it a necessity for France, with a view of self-
preservation, to " rectify her frontier" by the
incorporation of Savoy and Nice. The apparent
object of these articles is to dissuade other powers
from coming to any underat.niling with England
about the affairs of Europe.
Although it was taken for granted, on the re-
ceipt of the telegram from Rome to-day, that the
Ring of Sardinia had been solemnly excommuni-
cated, I doubt whether the bull of excommunication
which it seems has been placarded at Rome mentions
his name. At all events his name is not in the
despatch, and it has been stated that the Pope
meant to excommunicate in a general way all who
had anything to do with the annexation of the
Romagna, but without designating individuals.
If this be so, the piquancy of the excommunica-
tion, which all the world is disposed to make fun of,
will be considerably diminished.
The Gazette de Lyon asserts that the Emperor of
Russia has sent an autograph letter to the Pope,
condoling with him upon the encroachments on
his sovereign rights, and expressing an opinion
that his cause is one which concerns all Christians
of whatever denomination.

Garibaldi, a staunch anti-annexationist, has been
definitively elected • member of the Turin parlia-
ment for Nioe. The French journals account for
this election, and several others, by saying that
the vast majority of the electors, who are annexa-
tioniata, were advised to abstain. Garibaldi will
now probably avail himself of the option reserved
by the treaty to remain a Sardinian citizen. It is
hardly likely that he would expose himself to be
shipped off to Cayenne under the law of public
safety.
The Emperor will review a large cavalry force to-
morrow on the Longchanips racecourse, on the
occasion of several regiments leaving Paris for
other garrisons.
The Sentimelk du Jura says :

Far several &ripest the roadsof our department have been
crowded with military waggons laden with gunpowder and
munitions of war, escorted by gendarmes. These stores
are sent from the arsenals of Besancon to the two forts of
Salina and Rouses, which protect the French frontier against
invasion from the Swiss side.

The Senate yesterday voted the previous question
upon the petitions in favour of intervention on
behalf of the Pope's temporal power, by a majority
of 116 against 16. The debates of the Napoleonic
Senate are always secret. It appears from the
Moniteur that the speakers in support of the peti-
tions wore CardinalsDonnet, Mathieu, Qousaet, and

Morlot, Baron de Cronseihes, Bishop de Masenod,
and the Marquis de Bonny ; the debate on the
government side was sustained by M. Baroche, K
Dupin, the Procureur-General of the Court of Ces-
sation, and M. Tourangin.

The unsound character of the late rise at the
Bourse, upon which I insisted in my last two or
three letters, has been strikingly illustrated to-day.
While Consols remain steady, the late compara-
tively trivial fall being accounted for by the aug-
mentation of the bank's discount, and while the
only political news is the not unexpected event of
the excommunication launched at Rome, the
French Rentes have suffered violent oscillations in
a wild market, and leave off, with a fall
of lfr. 30c. for cash, and lfr. 15c. for ac-
count, at 69fr. 10c. and 69fr. 30c. The closing
prices were not the lowest of the day, the
extreme points having been 70fr. 75c. and 69fr. be. ;
the fluctuation therefore was lfr. 70c. Mobilier
fell 35fr. The railways suffered severely ; Orleans
fell 20fr. ; Northern, 16fr. 26c. ; Lyons, 17fr. 50e. ;
Southern, 13fr. 75c. ; and Eastern, sfr. Western
remains with scarcely any change.
M. Taglioni, the father of the celebrated dancer,
has just been operated upon for cataract, at the
age of 83. His delight when, on the removal of
the apparatus at the end of three days, he was
able to recognise the features of his child and to
become acquainted with those of the successful
operator, was indescribable..

THE ANNEXATION OF SAVOY.
THE TREATY.

(From yesterday's Mounter.)
In the name of the Most Holy and Indivisible
Trinity.
His Majesty the Emperor of the French having set forth
the considerations which, in consequence of the changes
which have taken place in the territorial relations between
France and Sardmm, made him desire the reunion of Savoy
and the district of Nice (circondario di Nina) with France,
bia Majesty the King of Sardinia having shown himself die•
posed to acquiesce therein, their said Majesties have decided
on concluding a treaty to this effect, and have named fur
their plenipotentiaries :
His Majesty the Emperor of the French, the Baron de
Talleynind Perigord, tr.c., and M. Vincent Benedetti, &c.•,
and his Majesty the King of Sardinia, his Excellency Count
Camillo Benso de Cavour, &c., and his Excellency the
Lavaliere Charles Louis Fermi, kc.
Who, after having exhanged their fall powers, found
to be in good and due form, have agreed on the following
articles :

Art 1. His Majesty the King of Sardinia consents to the
reunion of Savoy and the district of Nice with France, and
renounces, for himself and all his descendants and
successors, in favour of bis Majesty the Emperor of the
French, his rights and titles over the said territories. It
is understood between their Majesties, that this reunion
shall be effected without any constraint upon the will of
the inhabitant., and that the governments of the Emperor
of the French and of the King of Sardinia shall concert as
soon as possible the best means of appreciating and ascer-
taining
the manifestations of this will.
Art. 2. It is equally understood that his Majesty the
King of Sardinia cannot transfer the neutralised parts of
Savoy, save on the conditions by which he holds them him-
self, and that it will appertain to his Majesty the Em-
poor of the French to come to an understanding on this
bead,
both with the powers represented at the congress of
Vienna and with the Helvetic Confederation, and to give
them the guarantees that result from the stipulations
alluded to in the present article.
Art. 3. A mixed commission will determine, in • spirit
of equity, the frortiers of the two states, taking into Re -
°Milt the configuration of the mountains and the neoessit‘
of defence.
Art. 4. One or several mixed commissions will be ap-
pointed to examine and solve, without loss of time, the
various incidental questions occasioned by the reunion, such
as the settlement of the share to be contributed by Savoy
and the district of Nice towards the public debt of Sar-
i dinia, and the fulfilment of the °btu:Odom resulting from
the contracts concluded with the Sardinian government,
I which nevertheless referees to itself the task of oompleting
itself the works commenced fur the waking of the tunnel of
the Alm ()Ent Cenis)
Art. B. The French government will allow to the June-
' tionaries of the civil order, and to the military belonging
by birth to the province of Savor and to the district of
I Nice the rights accruing to them through services rendered
to the &raloll.ll government ; they shall, for instance,
sejoy the benefit resulting from the freeholdahip
enbilite) attached to the magistracy, and the guarantees
secured to the army.
Art. 6. Those Sardinian subjects who are natives of
I Savoy and the district of Nice, or who are now doiniciliated
in these provinces, who may desire to preserve
their Sardinian nationality, shall enjoy for the period of
one year, dating from the exchange of the ratifications and
