THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FRENCH ARMY.—They
really are good soldiers, and what is more, they are
great
campaigners ; that is, whilst our troops are on the bare
ground waiting for the commissariat, a French soldier is
under cover of some sort, and with a few sticks trying to
cook his own dinner. The Duke, in his despatcher, makes
frequent allusion to this quality in the French soldier, and
also to the power of a French army to maintain itself on
the ground where it stands.—Once a Week.

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

•
TURIN, MARCH 10.
A despatch of Count Cavour to Baron Ricasoli,
dated Feb. 29, communicates the French ideas re-
lative to the settlement of Central Italy. Count
Cavour says :
" France manifests no preference relative to the
choice of the future Sovereign, but the verbal and
authentic assurances of the French Government
show that the election of a Prince of the House of
Savoy would be opposed by France. I am cer-
tain that your Excellency will take into con-
sideration the counsels given to Tuscany by our
generous ally, to whom Italy is indebted for her
destiny. The Government of Tuscany will not
take the responsibility of the final deliberations
without again consulting the nation. The Govern-
ment, in acknowledging the opportunity for the
new vote, hopes that the Cabinet of Tuscany will
act in su-h a manner that the' election will take
place with loyalty and sincerity. Whatever may be
the result, the Government of the King accepts it
beforehand." •
A despatch of Baron Ricasoli to Count Cavour,
dated the 4th March, denies the pretence that Tus-
cany aspires without reflection to union with Pied-
mont.

Baron Ricasoli says :—Tuscany is intelligent
enough to easily understand that the time for mum-
cipalism has passed, an.' that the national idea has
replaced it. The Government mandate of the 27th
April was to free the country from Austrian slavery
by means of a war, and to find a guarantee for the
future in union with Piedmont. The attitude of the
Tuscan people during the last few months confirms
this mandate, and proves that if union to Sardinia
is a manifestation against Austria it is nevertheless
not an aspiration unthinkingly
Sardinia. manifested towards

Baron Ricasoli explains the motives by
in concert with the Governor Parini, he has
decided on the new vote being taken at the
period fixed for the assetnbling of the Sardinian
Parliament, and says—Everything confirms the
opinion that we were right in freeing ourselves
from a dangerous constitution. I have received
your Excellency's despatch of Feb. 29, and I con-
sider it the duty of my loyalty to promulgate the
French ideas among the Tuscans.
It suffices to say that universal suffrage is not in
contradiction with the wishes of the Emperor,
who has many and important titles to the gratitude
of the population of Central Italy. The Cabinet of
Turin would not take the responsibility
of the de-
finitive resolution, but I guarantee that the vote
shall be given in free and absolute liberty.
The Opinione of to-day asserts that tho Govern-
ments of Chambery, Annery, and Nice are about
to publish a proclamation to their provinces in ac•
cordance with the views contained in Count Cavour's
note of the 2d March.

RIMINI, MARcu 7.
The agitation and manifestations in Ancona and
Jessi continue. After the refusal of the popula-
tion to pay the taxes, a military council has bees
assembled in Ancona, at which General Robber-
matten presided. A resolution was adopted to act
in all cases energetically against the town, and to
resist all further assaults, if any should take place.
The equipage of the troops, including the munition
and the baggage of the officers and the delegates has
left Pesaro.

TURIN, MARCH 9.
Th 3 Official Gazette of to-day publishes a mes-
sage of M. Farini, dated Bologna, March 2, and
addressed to Count Cavour, in reply to the message
of the latter, dated Feb. 29. M. Farini says :
According to the English proposals, the whole of
the populations of Central Italy were without dis-
tinction to be called to a fresh vote before the oc-
cupation by Sardinian troops took place. The
state of things seemed to indicate the advisability
of accepting any form of the vote which the
mediating Powers should propose. If the form is
not decided upon he should choose that of univer-
sal suffrage. The most favourable moment for the
vote appeared to be at the time of the convocation
of the Sardinian Parliament, as it was then to be
decided whether or not these populations should
participate in the assembly, or, at all events to dis-
cover a method of adjusting the precarious and
dangerous state of affairs.
The reading of the last diplomatic documents,
and especially M. Thouvenel's note of the 31st
January, confirmed my opinions. I therefore re-
solved upon publishing my decree of the Ist March,
summoning the people of the Emilian provinces to
a new vote. At the same time I received your mes-
sage communicating to me your ideas upon the
French proposals. I received them with that re-
spect and deference duo to his Majesty, who has
done so much for our independence, and who has
not prohibited the publication of these proposals to
the people. I could never have taken any resolu-
tion without consulting the national will. My de-
cree is not in contradiction with the desires of the
Emperor. If at the first view some difference
seemed to exist relative to the Romagna, in reality
there is none. It Would have been contrary to the
public law to establish a distinction between these
provinces and the others. Since France is dis-
posed to approve of the annexation of the Ro-
magna to Piedmont, with the recommendation
that the Sardinian Government is their provinces
should be subordinate to the high authority of the
Pope, the proposed vicariate refers rather to the
relations between the King and the Pope, than to
the inhabitants. I could not have submitted to the
people this abstract and delicate question which
would have required complicated explanations on
the nature of the limits to the authority of the Pope.
The acts of Rome had destroyed any possibility
of such a combination, which, were it estab-
lished in these provinces, would have produced
disturbances, nothing being more averse to the in-
habitants than Papal interference. M. Farini con-
cludes, "La case the party voting in favour of a
separate kingdom should obtain a majority in the
Romagna, this party would very easily consent to
any arrangement which the Gavernment of his
Majesty, in accordance with European politics,
might think proper to adopt. My duty and my
honour oblige me not to leave these provinces at
the present moment, as my mission has been an ab-
solute one, but I can promise every guarantee for
full and absolute liberty of the vote."

PARIS, SATURDAY.
The Constitutionnel publishes an article, signed
by M. Grandguillot, headed, " Universal suffrage
and public order in Europe."
M. Grandguillot thinks it necessary to explain
the limits of the doctrine of national sovereignty
now invoked against the Imperial policy, to the
advantage of the combinations which his Majesty
cannot protest against, although prepared without
his inspirations. It is necessary lo show how a false
extension of thoselprinci pies may become an incessant
source of troubles and dangers to Europe. Univer-
sal suffrage can only be applied to the internal af-
fairs of a country, and cannot serve to modify the
exercise of the sovereign lower in relation with
foeeign affairs for the aggrandisement of a ter-
ritory. M. Grandguillot frames the French policy
from the charge of being identified with acts as
little conformable to the counsels given of France
as to public rights in Europe.

BERLIN, MARCH 10.
It is stated that the English Government will
not protest against the annexation of Savoy and
Nice to France, but will support Switzerland in
her claims concerning the neutralised districts of
Savoy.
