LATE 3'l NEN‘'

The following telegrams were received at Mr.
Reuter's office :

PARIS, MAY 7.

The Constitutionnel has an
_article by its chief
editor, M. Grandguillot, severely condemning the
efforts which are being made to cause the fall of
Count Cavour. It details tle difficulties which
have been successfully overcome by. Piedmont, and
points out the political importance which she has
acquired by the consent of Europe. It extols the
policy of Count Cavour, and commends him for
resisting the efforts of those who would exceed the
limits of that policy. This article also clearly
declares that Europe, and France particularly, will
energetically disapprove aggression, and that the
work of Piedmont is no more to extend her boun-
daries, but to assimilate herself with the annexed
provinces.

PARIS, MAY 5.

The lloniteur publishes a decree fixing the indi-
vidual payment for exemption from military ser-
vice at 2,3001., and the bounty on re-engagement for
seven years' service at 2,000 f.
The Patric believes itself correct in stating that
no decision has yet been taken relative to the eva-
cuation of Rome.

The same paper says, " It is asserted that Mar-
shal M'Mahon will take the command of the camp
of Chalons at the beginning of June next."

BERNE, MAY 7.

The Federal Council has issued a fresh circular
note, demonstrating the strategic importance of
the neutralised provinces for the maintenance of
the neutrality of Switzerland.,

VIENNA, MAY 7.

In reply to the proposal of France, England
consents to adopt as the basis of the Conference
Article 92 of the final act of Vienna, which refers
to the neutralisation of the districts of Chablais and
Faucigny. England reserves, however, the right
of making at the said Conference proposals relative
to the moans of this neutralisation.

This declaration of England is likely to increase
•
the probabilities of the assembling of the proposed
Congress.

VIENNA, MAY 5.

According to official intelligence from Naples to
the 4th inst., tranquillity had been restored through-
out Sicily. The firing had ceased. Only a few
arrests had taken place.

GENEVA, MAT 5.

The Federal Council has again insisted upon the
least possible delay in the assembling of the Con-
farence.

The Cabinet of Turin has made a proposal to
the Federal Council for the construction of a rail-
way through Switzerland to connect Italy and
Germany.

The operations for establishing the boundary line
between France and Piedmont commenced on the
Ist of May.

BERLIN, MAY 5.

In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, during the discussion upon the affairs of
Schleswig-Holstein, the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, Baron von Schleinitz, in reply to a question
of M von Blanckenburg, said—

" The Prussian Government does not coincide
with the views of M. von Vincke in reference to
the Federal Diet. Prussia does not consider the
organ of the German Confederation as merely exist-
ing, but as having a rght to exist."
In the same sitting Baron von Schleinitz stated
that questions had been addressed to him from two
different quarters as to whether an alliance already
existed, or would be concluded under certain emer-
gencies, between Prussia and Austria.
The Baron declared, in reply, that no such alliance
existed.

MAY 6.

In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the Minister of Finance, in introducing two pro-
jects of law with the view of obtaining from the
Chamber a grant of extraordinary supplies for mili-
tary purposes, said :
" By these measures the provisional condition of
the army, after the mobilisation of last year, is to
be maintained. Their execution requires a credit
of 9,000,000 thalers for the Minister of War fium
the Ist of May, 1860, to the 30th of June, 1861. In
order to meet these expenses, the additional tax of
25 per cent. hitherto paid is to be continued until
July 1, 1861, and the surplus from 1859 is to be
used."

The Ministry for the present requests the Chamt
hers to vote the said atneuut without requiring a
special account ; such an account will, however,;be
laid before the next Landtag. The State Reserve
Fund of 12,000,000 thalers will remain untouched.
The question whether the Landwehr is to be liable
to two or three years' reserve duty is not considered
in the present projects of law.

TURIN, MAY 5.
The Opittio»e publishes the following despatch
from Sicily, dated Wednesday, the 2d inst.:—
The insurrectionary movement is spreading
throughout the island, and is spontaneous and ge-
neral. The Royal troops are in possession of the
towns, and are blockaded between the sea and the
insurrection in the interior.

MARSEILLES, MAY 5.

Advices from Naples state that the export duty
on oil has been increased two ducats per cantaro,
which is almost equivalent to a prohibition.

ROME, MAY 3.

to-day, iu which his Holiness makes an appeal to
the Catholics on behalf of the subscription to the
new Roman loan of 50,000,000 f., bearing interest
