TURIN, July 10.—The intelligence which reaches
here to-day from Lombardy is important, the
sth Corps d'Armee,_which is stationed in Lom-
bardy, has just been reinforced by a brigade sent
from Mantua to Bergamo. At the same time a
brigade, composed of the . Gyulai Regiment of
Infantry, a battalion of Chasseurs, a battery of
Artillery, and a pontoon train, under command
of General Lilia, has been. despatched in all
haste from Milan to Cremona. Every one coming
nom the other side of the Ticini brings the
same tidings, which it is almost Unnecessary to re-
peat—that the Lombards are very much excited at
this constant movement of troops, not knowing
what to make of it, while all kinds of rumours are
put in circulation by agents of the police, with a
view to spread consternation and create distrust of
Piedmont and her allies.

The Piedmontese Gazette, of the, 10th instant,
publishes the following report, addressed to the
King by the 'Minister of War, in the Cabinet
Council, held at the Royal Castle of Pollenzo, on
the Bth of July :
" Sire,—Your Majesty is aware that our eastern
frontier is completely defenceless. This state of things
was always prejudicial to us, and public opinion severely
reproaOhed the Government with* neglecting to provide
agai_nqt danger on that side, at the same time that
considerable sums of money were expended oft other
points that are stronger by nature and less exposed.
This danger has particularly increased since Austria,
in violation of the treaty of Vienna, is converting
Piacenza into an immense fortress, from which she me-
naces our frontier, which consequently requires to
be strengthened by new fortifications. Some works
have been already constructed round Casale, for the
purpose of protecting us on our eastern frontier, but those
works are totally insufficient, and everybody knows that
the Government never intended that Casale should supply
the place of Alessandria, even if that town was to be
connected with Alessandria by a regular system of de-
fence. It was to complete this system that a new plan
of fortifications for the defence of this last city was drawn
up. This plan was terminated after the close of the Par-
liamentary session, and to defer commencing the works
until next year, or the period at which the authorisation
might be obtained in virtue of a law, would be highly
imprudent: I therefore think proper to submit to
your Maj :sty's approbation the said plan of fortifications,
together with a .project of loan for a million of livres, to
enable the War Department to begin the works before
the opening of next session."
Appended to the report is the following decree:—
" Victor Emmanuel 11., eze.,— _ _ .

"In cmpliance with the 233 clause of the law of the
23,1 of March, 1853, on the proposition of the Ministers
of War and Finance, and after consulting the Council
of Ministers, we have decreed,—
' " The extraordinary outlay, in 1855, of 1,000,000
livres for the works of fortification to be erected round
the city of Alessandria is hereby authorised. The con-
version "of the present decree into a law shall be proposed
to Parliament at the opening of the new session. The
Ministers of Finance and War ate charged with the axe-
cuti9n of the present decree.

" VICTOR EMMANUEL.
" Count CAVOUR.
" ALPHONSE DELLA MARMORA.
-" Castle of Pollerizo, July 8, 1856."
-There is a report --here that Marshal Itadetzky

has recalled Count Crennevillo from Parma, and
replaced him by GeneralSze,th, a Hungarian officer,
enjoys the reputation of being le overbear-
ing than his predcessor. The report is by no
means improbable, but as yet has not been con-
firmed.

The Risorgimcnto of Turin, of the Bth, publishes
two addresses from Tuscany. One of them is di-
reetcd to Count de Cavour, tba,uking him for his
efforts in favour of Italy at the Paris conferences,
and requesting him to accept of his bust, sculptured
by Vela, as a mark of their gratitude. The bust bears
the inscription :—" To Camillo Bcnsl de Cavour,
the Orator of Italy, who openly defended, on the
20th of April, 1856, the Italians of Tuscany."
The second address is to the municipality of Turin ;
the Tuscans express their thanks for the hospitality
granted by the formerto the two marble tablets in-
scribed with the names of the Tuscans who fell in
1848 at the battle of Cartatone. These tablets, it
,nay be remem',)ered, had been placed in the church
f Santa Croce of Florence, but had subsequently
been removed by the Tuscan Government ; they
were then sent to the municipality of Turin by
those who had borne the expense of having them
engraved.
The bust of the late Count Cmsar Balbo was
Inaugurated in the public garden of Turin on th,,
Bth with great ceremony. The relatives of the late
statesman, the President of the Council of Ministers,
the Minister of War, many senators and deputies,
and several members of the Academy of Sciences
and of the municipality were present, besides a large
concourse of people. M. Vela, the artist who had
executed the bust, uncovered it in the midst of loud
cheers and applause, and Count Selopis afterwards
read an appropriate speech. The pedestal bears
the inscription—" To Cmsar Balbo, born at Turin
on the 21st of November, 1789, taken from this
world on the 3d June, 1853, by his fellow citizens."

AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, JULY 13.

The Royal mail steamship-America, from Boston
and Halifax, has arrived with advices from New
York to the 21, and, by telegraph, from the latter
port to the 4th inst. She brings $1,079,033 specie
on freight. The screw steamship Alma, from
Havre and Southampton, had arrived at New
York on the 29th ult., and the Royal mail steam-
ship Canada, hence, at Halifax on the Ist inst.
The mail steamship North American, hence, had
arrived at Quebec on the 30th ult.
Congress continues occupied with the Kansas
question. On the 30th of June, in the Senate,
Mr. Douglas, from the Committee on Territories,
to which was referred the various bills relative to
affairs in Kansas, made a voluminous report on the
subject. It contains an elaborate argument in fa-
vour of the new bill accompanying the report,
which provides for the appointment of five com-
missioners, to be selected by the President from
different sections of the Union, to represent fairly
all political parties. They are to take a census of
all the legal voters in the territory, and make a
fair apportoinment of all delegates to be elected
by each country to form a Constitution and insti-
tute a State Government. When the apportion-
ment shall be made the commissioners are to re-
main in session every day, except Sunday, at the
place most convenient for the inhabitants of the
said territorry, to hear all complaints, examine
witnesses, and correct all errors in the said list of
voters, which list shall be previously printed and
generally circulated through the territory, and posted
in at least three of the most public places of each
election district ; and so soon as all the errors have
been thus corrected in said lists the commissioners
are requested to cause a corrected list of the legal
voters to be printed and copies furnished to each
judge of election, to be put up at the places of
voting and circulated in every county in the terri-
tory before the day of election. No person is to
be allowed to vote whose name does not appear
ou the list as a legal voter. The election for
delegates is to take place on the day of the
Presidential election, and the Convention to as-
semble on the first Monday in December, to de-
cide—first, whether it be expedient for Kansas to
come into the Union at that time, and, if so de-
cided, to proceed to form a constitution and State
Government, which shall be of Republican form.
Kansas is then to be admitted under such constitu-
tion on an equal footing with the principal States.
The bill provides further that no law shall be en-
forced in the territory infringing the liberty of
speech or of the press, or the right of the people' to
bear arms, S;°. It also provides punishment for
illegal voting or fraud and violence at elections,
and authorises the use of the military for that pur-
pose. The main point is that the persons desig-
nated by the census as the present inhabitants of
the territory shall decide all points in dispute at a
fair election without fraud or violence, or any other

improper influence. All the white' male inhabi-
tants over 21 years of age are to be allowed to vote
if they have resided in the territory three months
previous to the day of election, and no other test
shall be required. No oath to support the fugitive
slave law, or any other law, or any other condition
whatever shall be required. in the 1-louse of Re-
presentatives the bill to admit Kansas as a free
State under the Topeka Constitution was laid on
the table the same day by a majority of one.
The skirmishing in Kansas still continues. The
congressional investigation committees have closed
their work. It is understood that the report will
be made at once.

dispersed, and one or two arrests made.
At the American State Convention, held at
Springfield on the Ist inst., in the case of the Wor-
cester delegates the majority had reported in fa-
vour of the Fremont list. Mr. Cook, of Boston,

in regard to the 'Worcester delegates, that they
differ from the conclusions reached by the majority.
