WAR RUMOURS .AND
MOVEMENTS.

The French Legature at Vienna have received
orders to quit the Austrian capital as soon as the
Austrian army crosses the Ticino. Marshal Canro-
bert left Paris on Saturday to assume the command
of the 3rd corps of the Army of the Alps. The Duke
of Malakoff is expected at Paris this day (Monday).
The communication which the French Government
is expeted to make to-day (Monday) to the legisla-
tive body, will, it is said, consist of a statement of
the causes which have led to the coming war, ending
with a call for new levies. There is a talk in Paris
of a war loan being required. It is understood that
the separate corps alluded to by the Moniteur, that
is about to be confided to Prince Napoleon, is to
consist the Guard.
The Independance asserts that the Emperor's field
baggage has already been sent to Lyons. Victor
Emmanuel, it is positively, said, will command the
Sardinian army, witn General La Marmora imme-
diately under him. The Sardinian government has
decided, in case of an invasion, in not offering any
resistance on the frontier of the kingdom, but to
maintain its stratagetical lines some leagues in-
ward. _ _ . _

The Srvoy
.Gazette says that a telegraphic despatch
has reached Chambery, directing that supplies of
provisions be collected at the foot of the Alps for
troops who are to pass.
There was a Bourse rumour at Paris that King
Leopold had left for Vienna, to make an effort in
favour of peace. It is reported that the Emperor
Napoleon has received a letter from Lord Malmes-
bury, thanking his Majesty for the concessions he
was disposed 'to make in favour of peace. The French
Imperial Garde is placed on a war footing. The
officers have received orders to hold themselves ready
to march, It is stated that the Minister of Marine
has sent orders to the seaports of France to prevent
the departure of vessels for deep sea fishing, and as
a measure of urgency to enlist the crews f'r the ser-
vice of the Imperial navy. New instructions have been
forwarded by the route of Suez to the French admiral
in Cochin China, commanding him to bombard the
town of Hue, the capital, but not:to occupy it, and
to return to France. About 200,000 French troops
are under orders for Italy. From 3,000 to 8,000
troops leave Paris daily for the Italian frontier: As
the regiments leave they are accompanied by large
crowds of people crying " Vive Ernpereur ! Vive
l' Italie I" The order was issued of Friday night,
calling in the men on renewable furlough. This will
increase the army by 100,000 disciplined soldiers.
The mimes points out that the first Austrian
picquet that passes the Ticino will tear the seals from
all those treaties under which Austria now holds her
Italian provinces, and that, with Austria in the
possesSion of Sardinia, the Bonopartes, who even
now passively repudiate the deeds of the Congress
of Vienna, will re-enter into the full rights of
belligerents.
The Post says that as it was at 2 o'clock on
Saturday that the ultimatum was delivered at Turin
by the two commissioners, the delay accorded would
expire at the same hour next Wednesday, but on
the expiring of the term it is probable information
would first be forwarded to Vienna. In the face of
the protests of all the other European
Powers, it is at least possible that the orders to
advance may not be unconditionally confirmed, and
that the .chance exists of a few days further breathing
time being allowed the Sardinian army. Austria
stands in the same attitude:: 'her armed hand
uplifted, but the irrevocable blow not yet dealt. All
conservative Europe presses round her to stay her
arm.

The Herald says the Austrian ultimatum delivered
to Count Cavour on Saturday was ;couched in cour-
teous terms. The answer made by Sardinia is to the
effect, that at the request of Great Britain, Russia,
Prussia and France, she gave her assent to the
general disarmament, and that consequently she has
nothing further to say with regard to France. The
Herald says the French troops await the final order,
and everything is in a state of suspension until the
determination of Austria is known. The question of
peace or war rests at this moment with Austria.

AUSTRIA AND PIEDMONT.
