THE CONGRESS.-ITALY.

The Paris correspondent of the Times says, it is be—
coming every day more doubtful whether the Congress
will assemble. If it should not meet it is believed that
the Emperor of the French will leave the Italians to
settle their affairs themselves, subject to the approval of
the Great Powers of Europe.
The Opinione Nationale says, the postponement of the--
Congress does not compromise the hopes of Central
Italy. The principle of non-intervention protects the'
Italians aninst all aggression from without. The army
of the League is strong enough to meet all the efforts of
the fallen Princes, or the Papal army.
Thb Patrie says that among all the various rumours
of the day, it considers one only as worthy of notice,-
that is, the mission of Lord Cowley. He has a mission'
and it is a truly important one.

The Times says that the small interest attached to'
the Birmingham meeting is not evidence that the
country does not require a reform bill, but that the
country by. no means requires that Mr. Bright should
have any influence upon its character, or any hand in
its preparation. " •
The Daily News says the meeting at Birmingham
will be a gratification to all sincere Liberals.

PROPOSED COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE IN LEEDS."
Suggestions having been made to the Council of the
Leeds Chamber of Commerce as to the desirability of
establishing a commercial exchange in Leeds, the secre-
tary during the past month addresied circulars to
upwards of 400 merchants and others, asking for infor-
mation on the subject. A large number of these cir-
culars have been answered, and it is desirable that
replies to the remainder should be forwarded as early eS`
possible. There can be no doubt as to the great advan-
tage which would accrue to merchants and others from
having some central place of mecumg for the transaction
of business, if it is practicable, and those interested are
best able to deeide that uestion.—Leeds Mercury.
COUNT WALEWSXL'S RESIGNATION.—A Paris letter
in the Nord of Brussels says The, difference be-
tween the Emperor Napoleon and his late Minister of
Foreign Affairs on the subject of Italy dates back to the
time of the journey of .Lord Cowley to London, when,
the court was at Compiegne. It was about that period
that the Emperor decided on bringing his policy closer
to that of England, for the settlement of the Italian
question. Between the circular of the sth Nov. lasts
signed by Count Walewski, setting forth the spirit in-
which, in the name of France, the negociations of Zurich
bad been directed, and the pamphlet 'Le Pape et le.
Congres,' there was such a flagrant opposition of
political tendencies that it was evident that the
must either be disavowed or Count Walewski
retire. The attempts made to induce the Emperor
to have a note inserted in the Moniteur disavowing.
any official origin to the pamphlet were constantly
met by refusal, and the resignation of the count-
became inevitable. It must be also said the minister
was not quite in accord on the Italian question with
the Cabinets of London and Turin, and that from the'
day when the Emperor thought it necessary to point out
more explicitly his policy on that question, the main-
tenance of Count Walewski at the head of? his depart-
ment became exceedingly difficult. The dissent which
has compelled the Emperor to remove the Count has.
not in any way lessened the strong esteem and affections
entertained by his Majesty for his ex-minister."
