EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING•

Political people in Paris are mach puzzled to-day
to know what is the meaning of the assertion from
Vienna that Count de Paar's recall from Turin has
been made in such a manner as not to involve a di-
plomatic rupture "in the strict sense of the term."
The Pays pretends that the Austrian Ambassador
has merely been sent for to Vienna to talk over mat-
ters with the Minister for Foreign Affairs there,
and alleges, on the strength of a Vienna correspond-
ence of March 18 (a very old date, as you will pre-
sently see, considering the march of events), that the
chances of an arrangement between Austria and
Piedmont are more probable than ever. The Presto
says that Count do Pear is at this moment the lion
of diplomacy. " Will he leave or not? That is the
only question asked daily, and every day a different
answer is given." Amidst these doubtful rumours
I am able now to assure you positively that yester-
day (Sunday, March 22), and not sooner, what-
ever premature intelligence may have been pub-
lished in London, Count de Fur announced for- I
mally to the Sardinian Foreign Minister, that he
had orders to leave Turin immediately with all the
personnel of his embassy. Whether they arc all to
go without passports or not I cannot say, nor
whether supposing them to do so, the absence of
passports would suffice to prevent a diplomatic
rupture "strictly speaking." It is, however, cer-
tain that the Piedmontese government regards the
event as one of a decided character, one for which
it has long been prepared, and one for which it is
not sorry. Intrigues are going on actively to
induce France and England to takb part with
Austria against Piedmont. Here the government
professes not to be the dupe of them. But the electors
of England would do well at this great crisis of
Italian affairs to express their own opinion of the
matter unmistakably. The tone of Count Walewaki's
recent despatches to Vienna, I know from certain,
though foreign, sources, has been such as to awaken
great anxiety in the mind of the Sardinian ambas-
sador, and even remonstrances with the Emperor on
the part of the Sardinian representative in this city.
The Neufchatel Conference did not sit to-day, but
I understand the delay is entirely owing to matters
of detail which remain to be arranged between Count
Walewski and M. de llatzfeldt. The letters con-
voking•the Conference are all ready, and they will
doubtless be issued in a day or two.

Although the Daily News was seized on account
of the despatch of Count de Rayneval to Count
Walewski, which it was the first to give to the
world, the French government, making a virtue of
necessity,has resolved to brave the matter out, and has
ordered its journals to publish the important document.
The Pays publishes the re-translation from the ver-
sion of the Daily News, which appeared in the lade-
pendanee &lye, and remarks, "it contains a striking
picture of the government of Pius IX." Another
government journal, which quotes the Daily News,
makes the very stupid observation that "the Daily
News took great care not to say from whose hands
it obtained the document." Small blame to you, I
suppose your contemporaries will say. This jour-
nal, however, while admitting the unquestionable
authenticity of the state paper in these terms--
.We cannot warrant its precise accuracy as to the
text," says it publi-hes it "on account of the im-
mense interest of its contents in substance, the im-
portance of the facts cited, and the opinions which it
offers."

The Monitettr of this day Mates that the Emperor
Napoleon has had an interview with M. Eacher,
President of the National Council of the Swiss Con-
federation. _ _ .
