The POTPKETVIILIa of Milan states that General
Cialdini, who commando the fourth division of the
Army of Upper Italy, has transferred his head-
quarter. to Forli, in order to be nearer to La Catto-
lica, the well known strategical point which lies
within the Papal frontier. The troops of the line
have left Turin, and the National Guard has as-
sumed its duties. The volunteers of Nicotera have
been embarked at Leghorn and sent off to Sicily.
A letter from Rome, of the 28th ult., in the Monde, says:
" The French ambassador has just had the honour of being re-
ceived by the Pope. The Duke de Graniont went, ocooratng to
custom, to thank his Holiness for his visit to the church of St.
Louis-des-Francais. Pius IX. deigned to inquire after the
health of the ambassador, who has been suffering from a
painful bilious affection ; every political subject was omit'
led, the Duke de Gramont having nothing to say except
that the French would remain at Home to guarantee the
safety of the Sovereign Pontiff in his capital. General La.
morieisre is bat little disposed to allow Garibaldi to ester
on the Papal soil. The Papal army of 30,000 brave and
disciplined Goldinrs will make large pips in the ranks
of the assailants, who will probably he greatly sup..
rior in number sod perhaps in 'raillery equipments.We know that 20,000 volunteers will enter by the north-
eru frontiers of the Marshal and Ombria. They will
assemble in Tuscany and Romania, and the circular of the
physician, Farioi, it may be readily seen, has only pro.
vented their departure for Sicily in order to reserve than
for a different attack. We do not doubt that Garibaldi
' will throw from 40.000 to 50,000 men sling the sontbra•
frontiers of the Pontifical States, and that he will direct
the Neapolitan fleet before Ancona. We are amnred that
the Roman catholic powers will allow all this to he accent

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT MONTREAL.

lIONTREAL, Auousr 4.

The Prince of Wales arrived at Montreal at 3.30
p.m. on the 24th. The rivers were brilliantly illu-
minated in honour of the Prince.
The members of the Legislature arrived in the
steamer at Quebec at ten o'clock last night, and
attended the Prince to this city.
At the various points along the river group, of
people assembled on the shores and cheered and
waved their hats as the steamer passed down with
the Prince on board.
Rain commenced at ten o'clock, and continued
till the cortege arrived off Montreal.
The Prince came by the north channel, and
missed a number of steamboats which had gone to
meet him. They overtook him, however, at Bout
de Hale. They were crowded with people, and
gaily decked with flags, &c.; their passengers cheer-
ing lustily as they came up with the Prince's vessel.
As Kingston was passed the church bells rang a
peal, and the crowds on shore cheered. The Prince's
fleet on reaching Montreal was received with a
royal salute of 21 guns as they approached the city.
The rain at this time ceased, but again commenced,
and in consequence of the unfavourableness of the
weather the preparations for the grand reception
were not completed, and the landing was post-
poned till ten o'clock to-morrow. The illumina-
tions were also deferred. About 40,000 people,
who had assembled, were not only disappointed but
drenched.

The city is overflowing with strangers, and the
enthusiasm among the provincials is unparalleled.

LONDONDERRY, TUdiDAY:

The Montreal Ocean Company's strainer Anglo-
Saxon, Captain Ballantine, from Quebec on the
25th ult., has arrived here.
She landed all mails, except those for Liverpool.
She passed the Nova Scotian, Palestine, and
Bohemian.

The Prince of Wales left Quebec by the steamer
Kingston on the 23rd ult., and arrived the same
evening at Three Rivers.
At the latter place his Royal Highness was re-
ceived by the city authorities, the government
officials, and numbers of citizens, who presented an
address. The town was illuminated.

The Prince reached Montreal on the 24th, but
owing to unfavourable weather did not land till
the next morning. Ho waa met on the wharf by
the mayor and corporation, the members of the
government, the members of parliament, the com-
mander of the forces, attended by a numerous
staff, and the Anglican and Romig!' bishops and
clergy, &c. A guard of honour and escort were
furnished by the volunteer corps. It was estimated
that 40,000 persons were present. After receiving
and replying to the address of the mayor and city
council, the Prince drove in procession through
the principal streets to the Exhibition, which was
opened with great eclat. His reception was very
enthusiastic, and the line of route was beautifully
decorated.

His Royal Highness proceeded in the afternoon
to lay the corner-stone of the Victoria Bridge. A
consicisaable number were invited to witness the
ceremony, after which the Prince partook of
luncheon at the buildings of the Grand Trunk
Railway Company, and returned to the residence
of the commander of the forces, which was ape.
cially fitted up for himself and suite.
The city was illuminated in the evening, and a
magnificent display of fireworks took place on the
Victoria Bridge.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

The Journal de Frankfort makes the following
remarks on the speech of Count de Pernigny :

This addren is a brilliant piece of pleading in favour of
the imperial policy, while at the same time it is a manifesto
of peace. We shall not undertake the task of examining in
detail the arguments which the skilful apolcgist. makes use
of to prove that France was only compelled to contradict
the programme of Bordeaux by the indifference or the
apathy of Europe in face of the dangers with which she
was threatened, by the two gentian of the East and of
Italy, for that would lead us too far ; and the more
so as the question has been already judged, and all
the sophistry in the world could not change the deci-
aions of public opinion on the subject. We cannot, hoer,
ever, refrain from noticing a declaration, which is the more
valuable that it forms a striking contrast to the satis-
faction which attain semi-official journals ex pre,s on the
subject of the unitary tendencies f Gennauy, AO on the
union which is sought to be established, not only between
the two great German powers, but between them and
Russia. Count de Pernigny plainly says that the idea
of encouraging Germans to a Germanic unity would be a
political inconsistency, for France, as a military power' Is
twice as strong as regards Germany divided than she
would be in face of German unity. Pat at nfl
/watt doctri, and we thank the confidant of the Napoleonian
policy for this avowal. As to what he adds, " that the
German genius is from its very nature opposed to unity,"
we shall endeavour to prove to him that he is mistaken,
with the help of God and the imperial policy. That the
Rhine, in the present state of political science, is not a stra-
tegic frontier we well know, any more than the Alps are
for a naval power which is master of the Mediterranean.
It was not, therefore, for this reason that the Emperor
demanded the cession of Savoy and Nice, but to
claim provinces which were violently taken from France.
Are not the palatinate and a part of the Rhenish provinces
iu the wine position as Savoy and Nice were with regard to
the old empire, and of which the new one wished at my
pens to claim the inheritance ? Tho speech of Count de
Pendia', will not unfortunately change anything in the re-
lations which the imperial policy has established between
Frame and Germany • it only contains a lemon the more,
to be added to those Which we have before received from
the other side of the Rhine.

GERMANY AND THE MINCIO FRONTIER.—AII
influential German paper has the following reply to the
journals which maintain that it is for the interest of Ger
many to keep the line of the MiDeio:—.. What is there in
common between the Rhine and the Mincio! The Rhine
coven Germany from the Alps to the sun ; it has always
been a German river, ever since them was a German race.
and that race stall exclusively resides on its banks. The
on the contrary, is en Italian river; it traverses
only Italy, and only covers an Italian country. Even the
Austrian provinces of Wylie only belong in name to Geri
many ; the races who live there are of foreign origin, and
of no importance to us. The Mincio covers the present
territory of Au‘tiiii, but does not cover Germany. The Po
and the Ticino are even for Germany more important Ara-
tegie lines than the Mincio. The power which is muter of
the Po can penetrate into the Tyrol and pass the Brenner.
Behind the Mincio there are no important passages ; that
river is only of value in a war exclusively Auatrisn. To
compare the Mincio to the Rhine, as regards the defence of
Germany, is an abanwlity from which Germany ought to
abstain. Besides, since the port of Venice has been
Austrian it has never been of use to German commerce.
When that city was Italian and free it was an intermediary
for a great part of that commerce."
A SPANISH RICTIZAT TOR THI KING or NAPLES.--•
The Madrid papers are beginning to discuss what is to be
the future personal situation of the King of Naples, and it
is curious enough that the legitimist journals, which have
hitherto denied the possibility of lin detlimnement, seem
to be disposed to denyihim that hospitality which the organs
of the liberal party would have no objection to grant him.
The Spanish government, however, appears to have settled
this question affirmatively ; at least, we are informed by •
Madrid telegram that Queen Isabella has placed the
at Seville at the disposal of her royal cousin. Should iencese.
If. avail himself of thin kind offer, it will be an edifying
spectacle to see the son of that monarch who, whilst he still
received at his court the representatives of the elder Bour-
bons, refused for a long while to recognise hie niece Isabella
IL, and who q,narrelled with his own sister, Queen Christina,
for her share in the dynastic revolutiou, now accepting •
Bl misty in Stelos."
"SeRl/1” AT THR MONTREAL CITY COUNCIL.
--Sir Ouse& P. Roney writes denying the alleged disloyalty
of the French Canadian.. With reference to the recent
bad language in the Montreal City Council, Sir Cusack says :
—lt was no sooner known that such language had been
used, or reported to have been used, than a meeting of the
French Canadians was immediately summoned, not only to
condemn the language uttered, but to denounce the speaker
se having completely alienated himself from his fellow-
countrymen by the coarse he had pursued, and not a few
were prepared to make such a public example of him that
there should be no mistake about his alleged sentiments
being in common with the French Canadians generally.
Duhamol, however, denied, in the most emphatic manner,
the languAge reported of him, and further made the moat
n4act apology for anything which he may have said of an
offensive ch.inuter.
