HE DAY'S X

EWS

The news from the Continent continues of the
same warlike character as that already laid before our
readers. We have given very ample details in
another part of ear paper, this morning, from which,
it will be seen that, Although there is not any abso-
lutely new fact, there. is too much reason to apprehend
that matters have arrived at that point from which

it is difficult to escape the calamity cf war. Some of

the telegrams give N- ague , reports of new measure

of a pacific character having been taken by some of

the powers, but very little faith seenuto be placed in

them. Both correspondence and: telegrams from

Paris show that the greatest excite

went prevails

there, and that most active and comprehen-

sive arrangements are being carried ,out for the

the conduct of the war. The Emperor takes the
chief command of the army. General .Canrobert

left Paris of Saturday morning to assume the com-
mand allotted to him. Large numbers f troops

have already idt Paris, asd ov.;t.k.eir departaire were
cheered by the people. The

most enthusiastically

Paris Moniteur 6f yesterday announces that Prussia,
like England and Russia, has protested against the
conduct of Austria. The Russian Cabinet, ,it is
stated, has declared its intention not to advance

troops so long as Germany also refrains Isom so. doing,
otherwise a corps of observatiin would ,be placed on
the Austrian frontiers. The following may be
taken as a concise statement of what

known and done in Paris up to Friday
" Last night a large division of the Paris garrison
,left at ten o'clock by special trains for Lyons, some
add for Toulon. The whole line of the sub-Alpine
army at this moment is moving into Piedmont.
Before this the telegraph has signalled the fleet of
transports at Ajaccio to proceed with the foreign
legion and the troops in Corsica for the Italian coast.
At Toulon and Marseilles the steam has been up this
many a day, and the army of embarkation in constant
readiness to step on board. Marshal Randon is
named to command the marching division of Mount
Baraguay d'Hilliers is gone off to the Lyons
army. Canrobcrt came up to Paris to day from Nancy.

Cenis

The war 'gratificatio:A% in cash, was givn to all officers
on war duty to-clay. Prussia, by telegaph, announces a
strictly defensive attitude. The University at Bologna
has been closed. The legate has abandoned Ferrara
city, which. was entirely occupied by Austrians.
They have sent troops into Modena, and are march-
ing on Florence. I mentioned on Thursday that
' holy week was the day fixed on for the Austrian
advance,' and I had scarcely posted my despatch
when the telegraph informed Paris that General La
Marniora vvrts loudly calling for help, as the foe was
in motion nil along the boundary river, and he was
in hourly expectation of an attack. The race is
now for Turin ; but the long odds are in favour of
the French reaching that point a week before the
invaders, both by rail from Genoa, and by the Savoy
and Suza line; as the Mount ,Cenis is now only a
twenty-fours' march to cross, you may may look for
preliminary battle under the walls of Alessandria,
or at'Casal or Asti, in Easter week." .

Great dissatisfaction has been produced in Paris
by the .policy of the British Government,' and par-
ticularly by the speech of Lord Derby in the House
of Lords on Monday last. A Paris writer says :
" The whole Parisian press has but one voice to stig-
matise the tenor of the Premier's speech on the eve
of the.dissolution. They pronounce it most insulting
to France, particularly that passage where he con-
jured up the phantom of a general European confla-
gration as the necessary consequence of any effort on
the side of France to do justice to Italy. Such
language is intelligible from Count Buol, and its
motive would be obvious in his mouth, but England
has, or ought to have, no national interest in the per-
petuation of a country's bondage. The general elec-
tion will take place with accompaniment of distant
thunder, and it is doubtful whether more interett
will be felt in the successive war bulletins from
Lombardy, or in the telegrams from the various
hustings.
The Paris correspondent of the Times states that
the Emperor is expected to take the command of his
army in person. The officers of his military house-
hold have received notice to be ready. The marshals
have received their orders from the Emperor. The
field pay has been already issued to the troops. A
new division of infantry is immediately to be formed
at Lyons. A division is under orders for Toulon,
where the troops embark for Genoa..

The Herald's correspotdent says the gloom in
Paris deepens every hour. The 4th division was to
have started on the night of Thursday, but
had the portion left taken its departure
Paris would have been left without an adequate
garrison. The third division, which is quartered
chiefly at Vincennes, to be moved into Paris to
replace the troops that have left. The Piedmontese
troops have been advised from Paris to retreat
slowly, should the Austrian army advance, and not
to hazard any ,engagement until the French troops
come up.

A supplement to the London Gazette was published
on Saturday, with the proclamation dissolving the
Parliament. The writs are made returnable on the
