The King of Sardinia has issued a decree direct-
ing the sii small forts on the island of La Mad-
dalena, near Sardinia, to be dismantled. The build-
ings are to be applied to such public service as the
Minister of Finance shall direct.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that
several persons arriving from Genoa have been
arrested at Turin and Nice, as being directly or in-
directly implicated in the late movement. The gar-
rison of Genoa is to be considerably increased.

A Naples letter of the sth says:—" The steamer
Cagliari has been brought hero and moored near
the pier, and a detachment of gendarmerie plated on
board her. The captain of the vessel has undergone
an eaamin►tion, at which be protested his good
faith, and declared that both he and his crew had
acted from compulsion. The sailors were afterwards
interrogated separately, and they all made a similar
declaration. Tho investigation into the affair is
going on with the utmost minuteness."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TEESDAY Evixtmo..

The refugee question, to which I have already
adverted, is becoming very serious. I am assured
that France, making common cause with other
despotic governments, intends to exercise a pressure
upon the English Cabinet which is expected to be
irresistible. The journals, prompted by Count
Walewski, talk very big about the matter. The
Pays says this evening:
Since the

revolutionists only show signs of existence so a corps de

also Italians. Such • elate of things calls for a
vigorous repression. It is from London that all these
attempts emanate, and it is In London that the evil must be
attacked at its source. That the English potpie should think

one which we cannot but make allowance for. But if it be
proved that London has become the principal theatre of eon-
spiracles directed sgsinrt all continental gos ethnic:its, that

people, with that practical good sense of which they
justly beet, will admit that such an abuse of

exile, and that energetic totemsr are called for to give sa-
tiafaction to the interests of nation. alliod with England
and to the public commience which has been so long out-
raged by revolutionary exegeses.
These are general statement•, but you will see
that what the despot. mean to ask for, and that in a
threatening tone, is nothing less than the abandon-
ment of that old English rule of universal hospi-
tality to political offenders which no English minis-
ter has ever yet dared to ask parliament to give up.
The Mune was nearly deserted. The intense
heat kept a great many speculators away. The
Rente was dull, owing to the almost total absence of
hilliness, and closed with a fall of se. both for cash
and account, at 66fr. 75c., and 661 r. 90c. There
was scarcely any variation from these quotations
during the whole day. Mobiliet fell 2fe. 90c. The
railway market was heavy. The new shares which
were so much in demand two or three days ago,
were now more offered than any. The principal
lines fell from 7fr. 60e. to Mfr., but very little busi-
ness was done.
Bemnger is much worse to-day. The bulletin of
this morning is:

Tuesday, 7 a.m.

At • late hour this afternoon the answer to in-
quiries was that M. Beranger was in a very alarming
state.

'lle Empress arrived in Paris last night of half-
put ten o'clock from PlombiZree, and proceeded
direct to St. Cloud.
