PA3IB, SUNDAY EIINTI4O.

The political situation continuos to be most obscure
to the outer world, and is probably changing from
one moment to another by the operation of the
electric telegraph. The Patric erafirms the news I
sent yesterday, that the last proposition of France
is the admission of Piedmont to the congress as a
compensation for her consenting to disarm. Whether
Piedmont can be brought to consent to this, even If
France is sincere in her recommendation, is perhaps

doubtful. The Pays this evening seems to imply
that pressure is being at this moment put upon
Piedmont, and that she must give way. An extra-
ordinary meeting of ministers, and several leading
men of Sardinia is, according to this journal,
assembled at Turin this very day to discuss the
subject. _ _ _

The Pays nodose, but does not solve, the doubt
=premed by the Prose last night, whether the
phrase accepted by the four powers," in the eon-
sounioated note touching the English propositions,
wee meant to include Austria. All that the Pays

eon say is that it " hesitates to believe " tint Austria
will manse the grave responsibility of refasing
these bases of negotiation.

You will not Lail to have observed the announce-
ment in the Moniteur that Admiral Jehenne's fleet,
whose departure had boon countermanded, hal left
Brest for the Mediterranean. The utmost activity

prevails in the naval department. The Tou/onsais
announces that ten naval °Moen left Toulon on the
13th for Lorient, where several ships are fitting oat to
reinforce the Mediterranean squadron. The nine

iceboats now arming at Cherboerg are to be sent to
Toulon with all epeocl.
The Goutte de Lyon Mates that there lea talk of
forming a camp in the plain of Amharic's), indeed of
et Cuba.

The Courtier du Dimeeche says that the next
meeting of the Paris Conference is postponed till
after Easter, in order that the Turkish and Austrian
ambassador, who, against the opinion of the ma-
jority, have insisted upon the annulled= of
Colonel Coon's election, may have time to
raise to their governments for further instruc-
tions. On the other hand, a oorrespandent
of the Nord of Brussels weeds that the Weir is set-
tled, and that the plenipotentiaries will shortly hold
a forma and tinel meeting to sign the protocol.
The correspondent etnerves with much apropos, that
if the great Keeepeia congress is to be held so soon
as has been alleged (the 26th el April has been re-

pettedly mentiCe- *di It is ditioult to suppose that
a congress, to whisk some at the pleuipotsatiaries
necessarily engaged In the fret also belong, should
be sitting simaltaneosnly in Pevie.
I contradicted yesterday the rumor that Count
Persigny had gone to London on a peaceful mission.
I em now assured very positively that the Emperor
has been " not at home " to him for the last six
weeks.

PARIS, SATURDAY Brunie.
A rumour of considerable imuortanos is current
this evening. It is said that France, by way of
making a " last concession," has expresser' herself
ready to use her influence to obtain the immediate
disarmament of Piedmont, on condition that Pied-
mont shall be admitted to the Congress on an equ►-
lity with the other Powers. It is asserted that this
proposal was forwarded to London only last night.
As the English government will be under the noes►
sity of communicating with Austria, who will pro-
bably not be prepared. to give a simple answer, yes
or no, by telegraph, it is more than probable that the
parliamentary explanations promised for Monday
wilt will be anything bat conclusive.
