THE LATEST TELEGRAMS.

certainly will not if they should decline to do so.
" Within eighty and forty hours," said an extremely
well-informed person to me yesterday evening,
" Austria will see her way clearly, and you ' may
expect soon to hear that some decisive step has been
taken." It is probable that an ultimatum will be
sent by this Government to Sardinia. Should such a
document be forwarded to Turin, it will doubtless be a
summons to Sardinia to disarm, accompanied by the
remark that if she should refuse to do so Austria will
declare war against her. People here are perfectly
well aware of the extreme importance of such a
step, but still they hope it will soon be taken, as
they know that the outlay for the army amounts to
more than half a million of florins a day. The
corps d'armee which the Emperor reviewed yester-
day was composed of two battalions of chasseurs,
six regiments of the line, two cavalry regiments,
and the • usual allowance of artillery. The corps,
which had its baggage and pontoon-trains on the
field, consist of 50,000 mon, some of whom are
already on their way to Italy. The arrangements
made for the transport of the troops, horses, artil-
lery, &c., are so very judicious, that the whole corps
will have reached its destination by the 14th inst.
Another corps d'armee—the 9th---is already assem-
bling here, and it is understood that it is to
consist of 60,000 men of all arms. A corps of
70,000 men, which is to be placed in Bohemia,
Silesia, and Moravia, will serve as a second reserve
to the Italian army, the above-mentioned 9th
corps d'armee being the first. The reserves of the
army in Italy and of the corps which is now leaving
this city have been called in. A person, who yester-
day
came from Linz to this city by rail, states, that
the whole line was crowded with furlough men and
recruits. No border troops have been quartered
in this city since the year 1851, but four battalions
from the Warasdin district are now on their way
here. In my letter of yesterday, I stated that
a corps of observation was to be placed in the
Servian Voivodina. ; the concentration of the
troops has already begun. The political ferment in
Moldavia, Wallachia, Bulgaria, Servia, and Monte-
negro is increasing, and it cannot well be doubted
that the inhabitants of Albania, Epirus, Thessaly,
and Macedonia will take advantage of the first
favourable opportunity that may present itself for
getting rid of the Turkish -yoke. It is related that
Klapka, the Hungarian refugee, is now at Belgrade,
and it is by no means improbable that the report is
correct. There are still persons in Hungary who
profess to feel both sympathy and respect for Klapka,
but no one has a good word for Kossuth. When at
Bucharest Col. Couza tried to obtain money from the
Divan, in order that he might be able to place the
Wallachian army on a more respectable footing, but
he did not succeed, and his failure is generally at-
tributed to the machinations of Messrs. Golesco and
Bratiano, who are the leaders of the so-called
National Party. Persons of my acquaintance,
who know the peculiarities of the Wallachians
and Moldavians, predict that if the two Principali-
ties are now united, the Powers will at no distant
period be requested to undo the work of their own
hands. The banking house of Christu, in Bucha-
rest, is unable to resume its payments, it • being
absolutely impossible to raise money under present
circumstances. The liabilities of the firm are
6,000,000 piastres, and its capital 15,000,000, but it
failed because it was unable to pay 10,000 piastres.
The Wallachian Divan has resolved on establishing
a kind of discount bank, with a capital of 200,000
ducats, for the convenience of the commercial public,
but it is to be foreseen that the thing will not answer.
Such an establishment, if it is to be of real use,
must be well conducted; but order and impartiality
are almost unknown in Wallachia.

SECOND EDITION.

NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE, WEDNESDAY, 9 A.M.

COMMERCIAL.

Consols shewed much firmness throughout the. day, and I
closed about 1-16 per cent. above the advanced quotations
established yesterday. Great support is still derived from
the extensive purchases effected yesterday by influential
operators, which are conntenanced by the receipt of more
reassuring statements from several points of the
Continent, as well as by a rally of no less
than three per cent. which took place this
afternoon in the Austrian Funds at Amsterdam.
In the Discount Market the demand continues active, but
the rate for good bills does not exceed 21 per cent. There
were no bullion operations at the Bank today. The
£106,000 in Australian gold by the Roxburgh Castle was
purchased to-day for the Continent, as well as the bulk of
the £59,000 by the Asia, from. New York. Government
have already engaged nearly £400,000 in silver for the next
'Calcutta steamer.—Daily News City Article, Tuesday
Evening.
The repitition, in the Paris Pays, of the worn-out devise
of quieting the public by a semi-official -assurance that the
way has at length been smoothed to a removal of every
difficulty, prodnced but a faint effect this morning on the
English funds. The public at large do not believe that the
Emperor Napoleon intends to promote a pacific adjustment
on a basis that shall clearly recognise the treaty rights of
Austria, and consequently prove such as can be accepted by
that power, while it will utterly disappoint Sardinia. It is
likewise seen that, if an arrangement were patched up to-
morrow, with the existing feelings of France, Austria, Sar-
dinia, and Russia still left in play, the pruspects of the
repose of Europe would not be in the slightest degree
better than at this moment. In the foreign exchanges, this
afternoon, there was a further unfavourable movement in
the Austrian rates. Other places were without alteration
of importance.—Times City Article, Tuesday Evening.
COMMERCIAL FAILURE.—The Times announces the sus-
pension, at Marseilles, of the firm of Aquarone,ls Porro,
and Co. Their liabilities are understood to be large.

INDIA AND CHINA MAlLS.—These mails reached Dover
at 5.15 this (Wednesday) morning, and will be delivered in
London during the morning.
Mr. Stewart Wortley has been chosen by the Conserva-
tives in the Wrst Riding to stand against Mr. Frank
Crossley. Mr. Wortley is likely to be supported by the
Whigs.
The Morning Post publishes a Paris despatch, which
states that the government of England proposes that the
question of a general disarmament shall be submitted to the
plenipotentiaries as soon as possible after the assembling of
the congress.
The Times says the question put to Sir John Pakington
and the Lords of the Admiralty may be decided by asking
whether the Admiralty is a machine for producing an
effective navy, or a machine for helping "a minister out of a
parliamentary difficulty in the House of Commons.
T HANICSGIVING DAY FOIL THE SUCCESS IN INDIA.—At the
Privy Council held at Buckingham Palace, on Tuesday, the
Archbishop of Canterbury was directed to prepare a Form of
Prayer and Thanksgiving for the recent success in India, to
be used in all Churches on Sunday the Ist of May. A sup-
plement of the Gazette has appeared, containing the usual
~„

form of notification.
Tan BALLOT.—The Daily News thinks Lord John
Russell's speech on the Ballot, last night (Tuesday), is
calculated to facilitate the union of reformers. The Star
is of a different opinion, though it admits Lord John
Russell's speech will give a certain satisfaction to the
friends of the Ballot. The Daily News says Lord John
Russell himself still votes for publicity. It is with him
little more than a matter of personal taste.
