BURGOYNE, on volunteers ; and, although I do
not know enough English, and have not had
the time to form a thorough judgment upon it, it
seems to me to be the work of an intelligent soldier,
who has seen many fields-of battle. Ido not, how-
ever, agree with him that 50,000 veterans will
defeat 100,000 volunteers, if the latter have the
cipline that all troops
_ought to have; and that
they are, as may be imagined, animated by the
love of their country:" He frankly admits—" I
do not yet know the way in which the English
volunteers are organised; but I believe, however,
that for volunteers, in all countries, the training of
the Bersaglieri is the best. The lightness of their
uniform, the open order that forms the basis of their
manceuvering, without hindering them from acting
in masses, when the occasion presents itself, and,
above all, the swiftness of their movements, make
them the most perfect soldiers I have known." And
he concludes by avowing emphatically" I wish that
all the Italian army was composed of Bersaglieri ; and
I do not doubt that such an organisation would
also be easily attainable by English volunteers,
English soldiers having obtained the reputation
of intrepidity and coolness under fire." Only just
such a comment as this of General GARIBALDI'S
upon the Volunteer Movement was required to
complete the incentives to that more perfect orga-
nisation of our National Defences, the first and
foremost of which incentives was the Tyrtrean call
to arms by the voice of the laureate TENNYSON.

BOW SHALL WE MOVE FOR THE

BALLOT

114 YDI ABIET. THE 4 TRE.

Miss Amy Sedgwick has renewed her engage-
ment at this theatre for a brief period, and last
night made her appearance as Mrs. Haller in the
" Stranger." This is the first time this lady ha's
appeared in this once favourite role, but it is need-
less to say she must have played it frequently in
the provinces, and is quite at home in it. The ad-
mirers of Miss Sedgwick are numerous, and. she is
sure to please her audience, or.the majority of them,
and if she does not carry them along in a whirl of
admiration, as the great performers of our earlier
days did, still she is sure to touch the fount of sym-
pathetic tears, and to give sufficient effect to all the
well-known points. . _ _

The cast reqUires no notice, being the same an has
been lately in use at this house, comprising Mr.
Chippendale, Mr. Howe, and Mr. Compton.

The following telegrams have ,been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, JAN. 30.

The Moniteur of to-day says :
,‘ Government has often deplored the irritating
character of the controversy in religious questions.
The Univers having been suppressed, violent ar-
ticles in reply to its provoCation are henceforth
without motive and without excuse. The whole
press will understand that these grave questions
must be discussed with that quietness and modera-
tion which are ordered by the interest of public
peace and respect for religion."
The Correspondant, a religious periodical, has
received its second warning.

NAPLES, JAN: 27 (via GENOA).

Gen. Pianelli has demanded reinforcements. It
is stated that tha troops on the frontiers are to be
increased. A popular manifestation; with shout-
ing " Viva la Constituzione," has taken place.

MARSEILLES, SAN. 31.

The Secretary of the French Embassy at RoMe,
the Marquis Cadore Larochefoucault, embarked
yesterday for Civia Vecchin. It is asserted that
he is the bearer of important despatches from the
French Government to the POpe.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 31.
The Univers, which has just been suppressed by

the French Government, will be continued here.

PARIS, MONDAY.
The Paris journals publiih the following mes-
sage :
" CHAMBERY, MONDAY.

" Yesterday the party hostile to a cession of
Savoy to France made a demonstration. Nearly
250 persons assembled from all parts of Savoy at
the request of the residents of Chambery, and asked
information from the governor as to whether it
was the intention of the. King of Sardinia to cede
Savoy to France. The governor replied that the
King would not willingly cede the province. This
statement was received with some cries of ' Vke le
Rai !' A large number of Republicans are known
to be acting in the matter, actuated by hatred.of
France and the Imperial dynasty.
"The population were complete strangers to the
demonstration which took place in the street. At
the theatre in the evening not one lady was pre-
sent.

" Judging by the results of the demonstration,
it appears that the feeling of the populace at Cham-
bery was Conservative and sympathetic with
Frauce."

BERLIN, JAN. 30.

It is asserted that the arrangement between
France and Sardinia respecting the cession of
Savoy was agreed upon previous to the war in
Italy, and was to be executed in case Austria should
entirely evacuate Italy.
It was also agreed that Chqblais, Faucigny, and
Geneva should be ceeded to Switzerland.

FLORENCE, JAN. 28.

Baron Ricasoli, in presenting flags to tfie National
Guard, delivered a long address, in which he said :
" We require great prudence and large forces to
preserve our independence. A great deal remains
to be done. The annexation of the provinces of
Italy to Piedmont is necessary to guarantee Italian
nationality, the defence of which has become a
common duty."

PARIS, JAN. 30.
Count Cavour's visit to Paris has been tempora-
rily postponed.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.

We regret to announce the death of the Grand
Duchess Stephanie of Baden, which event took place
at Nice on Sunday afternoon at half-past one. The
Moniteur, in giving this melancholy intelligence,
says :—" This sad occurrence, which causes profound
sorrow to the Emperor, was anticipated for some
days. The Duke of Hamilton, son-in-law of,
the Grand Duchess, had arrived on the previous
evening; the Princess Mary, her daughter, suffer-
ing from grave indisposition, was notable. to join
her; and her other daughter, the Princess do Hohen-
zollern, only reached Marseilles on her way to Nice.
The Emperor had sent Dr. Corvisart to the Grand
Duchess, and he was able, in compliance with her
wish, to prescribe. General Roguet, aide-de-camp
to the Emperor, has left Paris to accompany the
mortal remains of the Grand Duchess through
France to the frontier of Baden." The deceased
princess was cousin to Napoleon 111. Her maiden
name Was Stephanie de Beauharnais, and she'was'
niece of the Empress Josephine, and the adopted
daughter of Napoleon I. Born in 1789; she was
married in 1806 to Prince Louis Frederick of,
Baden. The Grand Duchess, at the time of her'
death, was in her 71st year. . •

THE PAPAL STATES.

The following letter has been received in Paris
from Perugia, in the Papal States, dated Jan. 23 :---
"You desired that I should visit the Marshes and
the Legations, to give you a circumstantial account
of public opinion in those places. I determined to
commence my journey by Perugia, public rumour
pretending that serious events had occurred in that
direction. The report wasfalse, nothing remark-
able has taken place here. Perugia is gloomy, and
gives no sign of life. It never was gay, but it
bears a more desolate appearance since the events
of which it was the theatre ; twenty at least of
the first families have left for Florence,
and it is impossible to deny that the majority
of the inhabitants are ' hostile to the Papal
Government. They are waiting the course of
events, and they are convinced that a revolution is
not distant. Political news is whispered from ear
to ear. Besides authentic news, the most absurd
reports are propagated. The most insignificant
stranger attracts attention, and everybody asks is
he a spy or a revolutionary agent ? The garrison,
which is composed of 2,000 men, half cavalry
and half infantry, with a park of artillery, are
on very bad terms with the inhabitants. A cafe,
formerly the most frequented, having been chosen
by the officers, lost all its other customers. The
inhabitants have not only deserted the theatre,
but they have caused it to be closed. Some
wealthy families subscribed among them as much
'f)Ls the director of the theatre could expect to
gain by keeping the theatre open, and they gave the
money to him, saying at the same time, now go
away. This is what is called wearing mourning.
The garrison is a mixture of all nations—Swiss,

t

French (even Parisians), Germans, Poles, Spaniards, 1
l Italians, Piedmontese, and Belgians. I might men-
tion a young Venetian nobleman just left this, who
deserted three times. The word of command is
given in French. The discipline is extremely
severe, and the inhabitants, who detest the
soldiers, admit that they have no cause to com-
plain of. them. There are no longer any of the
Swiss companies here who captured the town.
General Schmidt, the governor, has just published
a proclamation, announcing that anybody propagat-
ing false news shall be tried by court-martial. The
amusements of the Carnival are to be permitted as
in former years. In fact, the instructions sent
from Rome to the authorities hero recommend that
the inhabitants be treated with the greatest mode-
ration, and many transgressions are to be passed
over. Foreigners are not at all tormented by the
police, in fact, there are ' scarcely any police.
' Strangers are not even asked to show their pass
ports at the frontier on returning from Tuscany,
I have seen with pleasure that travellers' luggage
is examined with perfect politeness, and no hand
is held up to receive money as in other 'parts of
' Italy." -

A letter from Rome, of the 25th says :
." On the receipt of the news of the change of'
Ministry at Turin, the chiefs of the Liberal
party resolved to get up a demonstration as an
answer -to those recently organised by the deli-
-cal party; and accordingly, in the evening of the
20th,. a crowd assembled in the Piazza Colonna,
where the evening retreat for the French garrison
is sounded. After the first roll of the drums, about
40 men raised a loud cry of Viva Napoleone !' Some
French gendarmes, who had been ordered to prevent
all demonstration, if posihle, but not to arrest any
one, told the leader of the band to be silent ; but
the man answered, I cried "Long live Napoleon !"
and I cry again " Long live Napoleon !" ' The drum-
niers and trump,_•tt r,;. having as usual commenced
their march tow t,i-ds the residence of the French
general, the crowd followed, repeating the same
cry. On re:- e':ing the Corso, well-dressed people
came in a a Mhers from the different streets, and joined
the croc-d in crying again and again Viva Napo-
leone Yiva la Francia ! Viva Italia! Viva Fit
tore Irinmanuele ! A French military band, which
had been playing in the Piazza Colonna, was
made to march rapidly through the crowd, in the
hope of dispersing it, but the multitude followed it
to a: considerable distance, raising the same cries';
after which a large number of persons re-assembled
in the Corso, and remained for some time applaUding
the. French Emperor and France."
The game letter states that in the morning of the
24th the heads of nine religious orders waited on the
Pope and presented him with an address expressing
their devOtedness. •
