The Moniteur, it is stated, will refer to the subject
in a day or two. The Journal de Cherbourg
announces that the dockyard authorities have
received orders to prepare nine gunboats, for
active service, without delay. They will form
the first division of a gun-boat squadron, and are
intended for service in the shallow waters of the
Adriatic. La Fiance Centrale is permitted to
announce that, in case of a war, the staff of the
army will be composed as follows :—The Emperor,
Commander-in-Chief; General Canrobert, Major-
General ; General Neil, General de Service ; General
Lebceuf, Commander of the Artillery ; General de
Martinprey, Chief of the Staff. The Paris corre-

spondent of the. Daily Hews says, Holland and
Belgium will by this time have concluded a
treaty for mutual defence in case of

There is to be a joint army of 120,000 men, Of
which 80,000 are to be furnished by the King of the
Belgians, and 40,000 by the King of Holland, but
Holland is to be at.the expense of fitting out a fleet
to be stationed in Scheldt and the Meuse..

The Turin correspondent of the Times says, the
total number of volunteers from the other Italian
States is about 12,000, and they continue to pour in
at an average rate of 200 daily. They are at once
sent off to the depots. The large and increasing

number of these volunteers is unquestionably a dith
culty in the way of disarming. Several of Poerio':
fellow captives have arrived at Turin, and the re-
mainder are expected during the month.
We report fully, this morning, two cases of much
mercantile importance that took place yesterday,
at the Police-court. The first is a very singular
case of conspiracy, and attempting to pass forged
notes of the Bank of England. A man named
Lambert, who keeps a barber's shop in Lime-street,
was charged with having sent to some tobacco
manufacturers in Dundalk and Belfast, orders
for tobacco, and at the same time forwarded
forged bank of England notes to cover the

those of the Society of Friends, such as blank, the
