WAR MOVEMENTS.

The deputure of the Emperor Napoleon, which
had been spoken of for yesterday, has, it appears,
been postponed, and, it is probable, will not take
place for some days. His Majesty will, it is said,
first proceed to Lyons, and will not definitively join
the army until about the end of the first week in
May. The Empress, it is believed, will accompany
the Emperor as far as Lyons, and on her return will
take up her residence, with the Prince Imperial, at
Sr. Cloud.

The Voßigours of the Guard left Paris yesterday
morning. The regiment on marching through
the Rue de Riveli, accompanied by a consider-
able crowd, halted before the Tuileries, where
the Emperor, surrounded by several of the
members of his household, stood at one of
the windows on the ground floor of the Pa-
villon Marean. The flag of the regiment was held
up to his Majesty, who kissed it amidst the loud
and enthusiastic shouts of Viva l'Empereur !"
" Vive Vitali. ! " from the troops and the large crowd
of spectators. The same cries were repeated as the
regiment marched on, the Emperor saying to the
soldiers, As remit-, et a bientot. At a later hour,
about half-pest twelve, the Empress and Prince
Imperial, Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde,
joined his Majesty at the window, and were loudly
cheered by the crowd. Her Majesty wore a plain
helmet and shawl and was seen," says a Paris
cotemporary, several times putting her handker-
chief to her eyes."
The three active battalions of the gth regiment
arrived in Paris on Wednesday from Rennes, and
left for the forts of Ronny and Noisy. The 4th
squadron of the baggage train, which was at Vin-
cennes, also entered Paris on Wednesday.
The Marseilles journals give notice that the open-
ing to the public of the railway to Toulon, which had
been Axed for the 3rd of May, has been postponed.
The journals add that under existing circumstances
it is natural that the railway should be reserved for
the use of the state.

The .Ifoneteur of this morning also says :—" A
council was held yesterday, under the presidency of
the Emperor, at which the Empress, the Princes
Jerome and Napoleon, the Ministers and the Praia.
dente of the Senate, the Corps Legislatif, and the
Council of State were present."
A Trieste telegram received this morning by Mr.
Renter says :—" An announcement of the managers
of the Southern Railway states that the stoppage of
goods traffic still continues, and especially that the
carriage of goods from the north southwards will
not for a considerable time be undertaken. A pro-
hibition against the exportation of corn is im..
minent."

A telegraphic despatch from a high personage at
Turin states that on Wednesday afternoon 8,000
French troops had arrived at Aleseandria, and that
a portion of them was expected to go of immedi-
ately to Turin.
The Imedipendente of Turin states that 4,000
Austrians have arrived at Ancona, to reinforce the
garrison, which wee 4,000 strong.
" Since the return of the Archduke Albert;
says a Vienna letter of the 24th, in the Cologne
(butte, " sittings of the council of war have
been held daily, the Emperor presiding. It is
said that the eventual formation of the army
of the Rhine, of which the Archduke Albert
would take the command, is the principal object of
the deliberations of the council. This army would,
report says, be composed of from 80,000 to 100,000
men, the wart being ander Count Clam Galles,
and the infantry under Baron de llegenfeld."

A letter from Genoa of the 24th, written before
the arrival of the French troops, aye :
The military measures adopted loaf evening by our govern-
ment prove that it intends to meet the enemy, The last core
of riflemen stationed at St. Pietro d'Arena and the 7th
awl Bth Regiments have received orde.• to leave. The Rifle-
men of the Alpe also have two Doneness ready to enter 04 a
campaign. The retrograde party has been spreading the
lemma that it Is possible the Austrians may much on the
espial; but that idea duce not appear to us to be well
founds]. The Austrians could net anise at Tulle with-
out isaTing on the flank the two foramen of Casale
and Alereandria, and that would sot be good strategy. The
sesigiation of volunteers from the different ltallim steal

PAM, TIIVISDAT Evimmo._

False news is flying aboat likewildfre, and it is dif-
knit indeed to know what to believe. It is univer-
sally admitted this evening thatthe news telegraphed
from Berne with so much particularity of the Aus-
trian army having crossed the Ticino in great num-
bers 11113 untrue. The only foundation for the
story appears to be that a few picquets did cross in
order to surrey the ground, and that some of them
passed a night at Oarless. On the other hand the
news of the revolution in Tawny, though coming
likewise in the first instance front Berne, is said to
be confirmed, and is sooepted by the evening papers
as true. Now as to the aooeptation both by
France and Austria of the list English
project of mediation which is at this mo-
ment making • tremendous sensation here,
you will doubtless have had mach telegraphic infor-
mation before this letter reaches you. It is im-
portant to observe that the most favourable despatch
from Austria only says that she has consented to
postpone the declaration of war for a day or two.
This, alone, is undoubtedly a highly important
fact, for every hour lost by Austria diminishes her
chance of a first success, and gives time for the
French legions to poor into Piedmont. But
with regard to the acceptance of France,
I am thoroughly persuaded that it will
turn out to be a delusion. I learn from
a very good source that France having at beat bat
promised to take the Maseion-house proposal " into
consideration," suggests two sine gee non conditions
for her consent :—l. That Baron Kellerberg, who
took the Austrian ultimatum to Turin, shall
be sent to that city to withdraw it; and, 2.
That England shall undertake by force of arms
if necessary to compel Austria to accept Lord
Malmesbury's four points, I have, I think, stated
enough to show that the acceptance ander these
conditions amounts to nothing. The first condition
will in all probability be rejected by Austria, but
the second condition would drag England
into the war, and that would be a
consummation so opposed to public opinion that
I am sure the English ministry cannot countenance
the idea for a moment. I subjoin—by way of preg-
nant confirmation of the correctness of my informa-
tion that the French acceptance of the mediation is
hampered with insoseptable conditions—extracts from
the French papers of this evening, the unanimous
tone of which shows very clearly that more is
sought to be exacted from England than her minis-
ters would dare to accord, even if they were so in-
clined. The news of the evening is thus an-
nounced by the Patric:
At the moment of going to press we learn a fact et the
highest importaace. If the Ansi/len army, which bad
evidently commenced its offensive movement, has not followed
up ins Opals upon the Piedmonts', territory, the reason
is that Austria has accepted the mediaiion of England,

'tad ore are et the sere Us; mound that the offer ha; been
" takes iMe eesekkradas" by the Emperor Nopoises. If
this latter news should be tree, Frigate may be well armored
that this new proof of moderation will sot be sirda without
resawleg all the guarantees called for by the present
eltuation.

In au article under another signature the Patrie
talks repeatedly of " serioas guarantee'," says that
the mediation now offered by England at the last
extremity is not "an ordinary mediation," that Eng- 1
land mast " neoessarily engage her responsibility,"
that her " mere good offices," " hitherto so sterile,"
are now out of place, and, in short, that" England
mast undertake to waist us in case of the failare of
her mediation."

There is no mistake about this, and if it were
nemesary, which I am sure it cannot be, I could not
too strongly protest against the notion of England

joining Francs in a war in Italy. The same ides,
however, peeps forth in the following paragraph of
the Pays: . .

' We do not know is what form or on what conditions Aus-
tria has accepted the English mediation ; ell that we rut my
Is that it seems to us very doubtful, ander existing circum-
stances, whether it ma teed to any satisfactory so-
lution. Austria, in roughly breaking off the ne-
gotiations, gave the roams of the oonlidenos
which she merits. Her apparent Mani to less violent
ideas is not worth a thought unless ohs herself furnishes,
or obtains from some other power on km behalf, serious
guareatiss for her good fa'th. WW Lord Derby Maude
venters to be bail for Austria? We do net believe he will,
and therefore we expect but liras fume this last attempt at
mediation. _

The Courrier de Paris considers the new con-
ciliatory attempt made by the English cabinet as
nothing else than a diplomatic mauccuvre, under-
taken with the view of turning the tables in favour
of Austria:

To plum Fromm nadir the necessity of Wolin soca
lardy °statures, is it not to attempt ti tia upon her that re-
sponsibility fee the war which belongs altogether to Lashio ?
By his patience and modiasttoo the Emperor Napoleon has
Tonged all Munro as hie aids. It fa wished to try a test
siert is order to des'roy the prestige by which he is stir-
rounded. Frans and Europe will not allow themselves to
be deceived, sad Aostsia will amain hardened with the
'sight of the situation which she has crested. This situation
le now clearly defined. The solution of the Italian question
Is no longer a subject of oontr..iversy, can no lours be the
theme of sterile discussion. Anetris having tonna= tits path
of reason and justioe to appeal to faro*, let force now decide.
_ _ .

The MoroiGoer, in an indirect way, not very flat-
tering to Prince Napoleon, conveys a contradiction
of the report several times repeated by the semi-
official journal that he was to have com-
mand of the Guard. It says that the
corps which he is to command will shortly
be ready for hint at Toulon, and that General Keg-
moult de St. Jean d'Aogely " remains at the head of
the Guards." Some people think the Prince will
take offence, and not go to the war at all. It is
rumoured, however, that he takes his wife with him
to Sardinia.

There has been great flactuation at the Bourse.
The news that Austria had not crossed the Ticino,
and that she had accepted the English mediation,
caused • great many purchases, but the tremend-
ous fall in Con.ols checked the upward move-
ment. The Rents oscillated between the ex-
treme prices of 62fr. 80c. and 61fr. 95c., closing
at 62fr. 65c., with a rise of 650. For cash the last
price was 62fr. 70c., with a rise of 70c. Mobilier
rose llfr. 2k. The Orleans Railway rose 17k. 50e.,
Lyons 15fr., and Western Oh% 25c.; in the other
has. there was little alteration.

It is positively stated in various semi-official or-
gans, that the Emperor, when he goes to the wars.
will not be attended by so much as a single member
of his civil household. His companions will be
military men alone. It is supposed that documents
requiring the Emperor's signature will be sent to
him frequently by the bands of muters of reqcosts
and auditors in the Council of State, according to
the practice in the time of the first Empire. Na-
poleon I. frequently sent for different ministers
*hen he was on a campaign, and M. Duo, Minister
of State, accompanied him to Moscow.
Amoog the paragraphs furnished to the eountry
papers in order to foment the war feeling, I remark
the following :
It is a singular coincidence that daring the Beat campaign
of the empire in 1806, that in which the French army ob-
tained the appellation of "la Graaf Irma*'" there was
three sovereigns in the Aalti—the &apnea Napalm., the
Norm of Ansa* sal the Empator of Bala& Oa
