FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

It appears that the fixing of the new boundaries
between France and Piedmont is nearly completed,
owing to the activity of the engineers employed in
the operation. The fort on Mount Cenis alone gave
rise to some difficulty. The Emperor is said to
have demanded that the fort should be comprised
in the French possessions, on the ground that it
was the French Government which had originally
constructed it at its own expense. M. Cavour had
the audacity to claim it as being necessary to the
defence of Piedmont. Can it be against Piedmont's
liberator ? To put an end to the dispute it was de-
termined to demolish the fort.

ROME.

The Memorial Bordelais has the following :
" Letters from Rome of a recent date give some
curious details respecting discoveries which Gene-
ral de Lamoriciere has made since he has been
concerned in Roman affairs. Among other things
he found, it is said, that 2,527 officers or soldiers
who figured on the lists of the army had no ex-
istence, but that nevertheless pay was regularly
drawn for them. He was told also that captains
made a rale of not mentioning the numerous de-
sertions which take place in their companies-Ist,
in order not to disturb the good opinion which
the Popo has of his army; and 2d, to receive the
same pay for their troops. The general, having
manifested the intention of forming again the Pon-
tifical dragoons who were dissolved some time
ago, but of whom 150 remained, many objections
were made to his project. He at last asked to see
the uniforms and helmets of the dragoons, but was
told that they had been sold. 'To whom?' said he.
To the manager of a theatre.' For how much ?'
' Three paolis per helmet.' And how much did
each helmet cost P" Forty-eight paolis.' Send
for the manager,' said the general, and the manager
came. You must bring to me all the helmets you
have purchased,' said the general, and you shall
be paid for them.' How much have Ito receive?'
asked the manager. ' Why, 3 paolis each—what
they cost you !" General,' cried the unfortunate
man, ' I paid 25 paolis per helmet, and here is the
receipt !' and he produced a paper proving that he
had really paid that sum."
