ITALY'S POSITION.

The Vienna correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette sur,
plies important information. " I believe there is no truth
whatever in the telegram that appeared in the Times as
Italy having refused to join in support of Turkey. 0°
the contrary, M. Minghetti declares unhesitr
tingly that Italy has fully agreed' to go along with England
and Austria if they unite ; and her land and sea force
are far from inconsiderable. The Turkish land ford
could very readily be raised to 551,000. The Austrian
army, without a strain, could furnish from 500,000 t°
600,000 men. Italy could send 180,000 ; and wine
England would and could contribute, without car
ling into question her naval resources and her
money, would be a matter very much dependent 0
who formed her Cabinet, and what amount of opposition
would proceed from those who gave their votes agalo4
the last war. I find nobody here believes Prussia to be,
neutral, but very few imagine she will lend any active aid
to the struggle, or do more than cause uneasiness on her
frontier, and shew herself a generally uncomfortable
neighbour to those next door to her."

MR. ODO RUSSELL.
Just before I left Versailles on my way south I learned
a piece of news which confirms my worst fears 119
to the blindness of the Euglish Government on
the Russian question. Mr. Odo Russell has taken
apartments for a month in Versailles. Just as we Were
all hoping to find he had left for London with
a categorical answer from Count Bismarck in his pocket?
we hear that he looks forward to a month's stay in Vet'
sailles, that is, I suppose, just until Paris falls and Colln.
Bismarck has the game in his own hands.—CorrespondOw
of Pall Mall Gazette at Etampes.

The London correspondent of the Scotsman says he he
"the best authority " for stating that our Government 11
satisfied with the conduct of Prussia in regard to the
Russian note, and disposed to be hopeful as to the nl5
tenance of peace. The writer adds, " Not only bag
the course taken by Lord Granville in this matter
been approved unanimously by his colleague*
but Lord Derby and other Conservative statesmen tae
also, I have reason to believe, taken the opportunity (/`
privately communicating their satisfaction with it.

the words" Who made you King ?" This question
addressed to M. Gambetta.
Paris has not only cattle enough for food but sufficient
to get up shows. Day after day a herd of some twentl
horned heads is driven round the town in sight of the
besiegers. Now the Bavarians are capital judges of
cattle, and very soon found out the sham, by identifying
the bovine faces of every round as the very same, 00
proving the contrary of what was intended by the display'
—Contint-V,al Correspondence.
A letter has been published that was said to be written
by one of the ex-Emperor's cooks, who was sent a prison°
to Wilhelmshohe, from whence he escaped. He villg
fortnnate enough, he says, to overhear some conversation
while he was assisting in the service of the dinner-table.
The company at the Imperial table regretted that 04
had not been able to carry out the coup d'etat on the
morrow of the day when the Republic was proclaimed;
On the sth of September Palikao was to have imprisoned
or taken to Cayenne all the Republicans of Paris and the
provinces. The Imperialists think they will yet retur°
and count upon the support of the provinces where gre°
ignorance as to public matters prevails.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Nervous Debi'
lity.—No part of the human machine requires more
watching than the nervous system, upon it hangs heal
and life itself. These Pills are the best regulators all
strengtheners of the nerves, and the safest general pU3
fiers—nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness, and me 11147,
apathy yield to them. They dispatch in a aural:llo.9ft
manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomackl"
pains, fulness of the pit of the stomach, abdominal .
tensions, and overcome loathings, capricious appetite,
and confined bowels, the commonly accompanying sign',
of defective or deranged nervous power. Hollowar
Pills are particularly recommended to persons of studioue
or sedentary habits, who gradually sink into a nervoati
and debilitated state unless some restorative such as these
pills be occasionally taken.
