conclusive. It was unlucky the delusion should take
the form it did, but he could not deal with the matter
otherwise than he had stated.
The cabman who had summoned the prisoner wished
to know what he was to do. He had taken out two
summonses against the Countess at his own expense, he
had been discharged by his master, and now he was
deprived of all chance of getting either his fare or his
expenses.
Mr. BINGHAM said the cabman's case was a very hard
one. He could not assist him out of his difficulty, fur-
ther than by giving him half-a-crown towards his loss.
The proceedings then terminated.
It is a singular circumstance that hardly ono of the
persons who have been duped had the slightest suspicion
of the prisoner's sanity.

The entire interest of a very moderate list centred in
the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, for which a larger field than
was expected some time since came to the post. Nunny-
kirk, it will be seen, won, Honeycomb, who at one time
seemed very much inclined to cut it altogether, running
second. There is a great difference of opinion as to the
manner in which the race was won, some looking upon
it as an easy triumph for the black horse • others insist-
ing, not only that he was fairly extended, but that he
was spurred. The betting against him for the Derby,
after the race, was only 5 to 1, 5 to 2 being laid against
the Flying Dutchman, 5 to 1 agst Tadmor, and 7 to 1
agst Vanguard.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Ministerial organ, the Patrie, contains the

following paragraph
" Some se! ions rumours were circulated at the Na-
tional Assembly to-day. According to private letters
addressed to representatives, two divisions of the army
of the Alps are on their march towards the fron-
tier of Savoy. The general commanding ono of these
divisions, who is now in Paris on private business, has
received orders to proceed immediately to head-
quarters."
The same journal states that the Government had
received a telegraphic dispatch, announcing the
evacuation of Pestli by the Austrians.
The Moniteur publishes the following :—" The
Government has this evening received a telegraphic
dispatch from Marseilles, dated the 23d, which an-
nounces that the expeditionary fleet left the anchor-
ing ground of the islands of llyeres yesterday even-
ing. The sea was calm and the weather beautiful."
•

The Presse publishes the following " communica
tion " on the subject of the Austro-Sardinian nego
tiations. It should be remembered, however, that it is
the Austrian account of the matter/ and that the
" forgery " department of the Austrian Chancery is as
active as it was under the Metternich regime.
" After the verification of powers, Marshal Radetsky
and Chevalier Bruck, representing Austria, and General
Dabormida and Chevalier Buoncompagni, the plenipo-
tentiaries of the King of Sardinia, opened the confer-
ences on the 14th inst. The negotiations turn on three
questions—the political, the financial, and the commer-
cial. The first has for its object the re-establishment of
the state of things before the commencement of hostili-
ties; in other words, the territorial possessions estab-
lished by the treaties of 1815, with regard to Italy will
be confirmed and sanctioned anew, so that the Court of
Turin cannot for the future bring forward any preten-
sion either to the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, or to the
duchies of Parma and Modena. This stipulation had
been previously laid down to King Victor Emanuel by
Marshal Radetzky as a sine qua non condition of the
signature of the armistice of Novara. The King having
agreed to it on his word of honour, given to the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Austrian army, the Sardinian
Pier ipotentiaries also admitted it at the opening of the
-conferences. The financial question is that which ap-
pears likely to offer the greatest difficulties, without, how-
ever, going the length of creating misunderstandings, as
represented by some ill•informed journals. Ia the inter-
view which took place between King Victor Emanuel
and Marshal Radetzky under the walls of Novara, it was
agreed that the Sardinian Government should reimburse
to Austria the expenses of the war, which the Imperial
Court had been forcibly compelled to carry on in order to
maintain possession of her Italian provinces. Marshal
Radetzky did not and could not fix the amount, which
could only be done by the Court of Accounts at Vienna.
If our information be correct, the amount claimed by
Austria is 125 millions of Austrian livres, of which
seventy-five are for the first campaign, and fifty for the
second, dating from the period of the conclusion of the
armistice of Milan to the signature of that of Novara.
The Sardinian Plenipotentiaries not being, it is said,
authorised to offer more than sixty millions, Marshal
Radetzky and Chevalier Bruck, before referring the
matter to thtir Court, have wished to remind King
Victor Emanuel that before Marshal Radetzky con-
sented to suspend his march on Turin, his Majesty had
agreed to the principle of reimbursement of the expenses
which the hostilities of Charles Albert had entailed on
Austria. Chevalier Buoncompagni has been charged to
proceed to Turin, to receive ulterior instructions from
the mouth of his Sovereign himself. Whatever may be
the reply of the Cabinet of Turin, we are confident that the
Austrian Government will not demand from King Victor
Emanuel sacrifices beyond the resources of the Sardinian
Treasury. In our opinion, the amount stated by Austria
is only a starting point, to arrive by mutual conces-
sions to an arrangement satisfactory to both parties.
With regard to the commercial question, it is known that
the origin of the rupture between Sardinia and Austria
dates as far back as 1846, when the Imperial Cabinet,
by imposing an import duty of two florins (five francs)
on Piedinuntese wines going into Lombardy, paralysed
the commerce of several of the Piedmontese provinces.
The Court of Turin endeavoured in vain to get this
duty removed, and the correspondence on the subject
degenerated at length into open war. Austria has now
shown a disposition to settle this cause of dispute by
reducing the duty by one-half, which must be considered
as a fresh pledge of the policy or moderation on which
depends the durable pacification of the Apennine
Peninsula."

M. LEON FAUCHER places, it would appear, a very
peculiar interpretation on the law securing freedom
of election. An electoral mooting, held in a covered
hall in the Rue Martel, was on Monday night dissolved
by the police, and a battalion of troops were in wait-
ing with fixed bayonets to clear the hall, had their
services been required. Truly universal suffrage is
a bitter mockery if it is to be exercised only under
the coercion of the bayonet. An assembly so elected
cannot be considered to represent the free and un-
biassed will of the majority of the nation
The journals Le Peuple and La Vra:e Republique
have been again seized.
The Minister of the Interior has retracted the
order for the expulsion of M. -NAN GOLOVINE, a
Russian. M. GOLOYINE has published an address to
the Russian emigrants, in which he minutely
describes the harassing annoyances to which both
the French and the Russian police subject men in his
position.
M. DELAMARRE has published a letter, denying the
accusation brought against him by AL LEDRU
ROLLIN, of having proposed to levy a forced loan on
the capitalists.

NOUDE, the editor of the Gazette de France, reached
