PARIS, JUNE 1.

The Cabinets of Paris and St. James's are com-
pletely agreed upon every point bearing upon the
renewal of diplomatic relations with the Kingdom
of the Two Sicilies.

The recent visit of M. de Persigny to Paris has
not been unconnected with this question.
M. de Persigny has set out on his return to
London.

The Constitutionnel says :—" The resolution come
to by the military authorities to teach infantry
regiments exercise with cannon appears to have
been iil understood, and erroneously represented,
by certain foreign journals. In war cannon have
frequently been left inactive on the battle field,
when the artillerymen in charge of them have been
put hors (le combat by the enemy's riflemen or from
any other cause. The guns thus left became, so
to speak, useless, because no one could without
danger attempt to manoeuvre them. It is to pre-
vent this great inconvenience that the firing of
cannon has been introduced as an element and as
a complement of military instruction into the in-
fantry regiments of the army of Paris, and it will
in all probability be adopted after trial by all other
infantry regiments. This measure, after all, is not,
properly speaking, an innovation ; as, under the
first empire, there was what was then called 'regi-
mental artillery'—that is to say, a company, exer-
cised in the firing of cannon, existed in most in-
' fantry regiments. independently of the special
corps of artillery, which in those days was not
organised and mobilised as it is at present, and
that regimental artillery rendered important ser-
vices, especially in defending squares against the
attacks of cavalry."

" It has been stated that the entrance of Prince
Napoleon into Tuscany," says the Independence of
Brussels, " excited the susceptibilities of different
Governments, and caused observations to be made
by their Ministers at Paris. The French Govern-
ment appears anxious to prove that the presence of
the Emperor's cousin in the Grand Duchy is, as it
has constantly stated, caused purely by strategical
considerations ; and we are informed that it is
about to take a step which will prove that it has
no idea of establishing a French Prince at Florence.
England, we are assured, is on the point of ob-
taining or has already obtained the abdication of
the Grand Duke in favour of his son ; and the
Emperor Napoleon will consent to the accession of
the latter—first, because he has always maintained
friendly relations with the Tuscan branch of the
house of Lorraine ; and, secondly, because he is
anxious to dissipate the disquietude felt abroad as
to his projects on Italy." The same journal de-
clares that it is authorised to contradict the asser-
tion made by several journals that the hereditary
Prince of Tuscany has taken the command of an
Austrian regiment of dragoons.

The last despatch received at Turin from Gari-
baldi was of Spartan-like brevity :—" I have been
attacked by the Austrians, have beaten them, and
am now pursuing them. The populations are
coming to my aid."
The Piedmontese Gazette publishes the following
order of the day, dated from head-quarters at
Casale, May 27 :—" On the 21st of this month,
General Cialdini, commanding the 4th division,
ordered two columns to ford the Sesia,t.both above
and below the bridge of Vercelli, in order to dis-
lodge the Austrians fron the left bank. The first
column, composed of the first battalion of the 10th
regiment, commanded by Captain Jest, despising
the danger of deep and uncertain fords, entered the
river resolutely, and soon after formed again on the
opposite bank. The troops, unable to use their
ammunition, which had been soaked in crossing the
river, with admirable courage attacked the enemy
with the bayonet. Surprised at such daring, the
enemy fled, leaving on the field their dead and
wounded, and their arms, ammunition, and waggons.
Meanwhile, the second column, consisting of two
squadrons of Light Cavalry and the 6th and 7th
battalions of Bersaglieri, under the orders of
Lieut.-Colonel Reccagui, commandant of the Light
Cavalry of Alessandria, forded the Sesia; with
bold manoeuvres they drove the enemy from post
to post, thus contributing to the success of the
day, so that the whole left of the Sesia, from
the ford of Albano to Torrione, was cleared of
the enemy. The possession of this ground was
further secured on the same day, and on the
22d and 23d following, by bold offensive recon-
naissances, executed by some troops of the" 4th
division and by several squadrons of cavalry
of the line. Or the 22d and 23d while some re-
connaissances, directed by his Majesty in person on
the Sesia and on the Po, admirably defended by
artillery, diverted the attention of the enemy, the
little island opposite Terranover was strongly occu-
pied by our forces. The behaviour of the troops in
all these encounters was, as usual, worthy of the
highest praise. IL M. the King, having ordered
that his high satisfaction be made known to the
troops, has been graciously pleased to confer the
following rewards on those who have especially
distinguished themselves." Here follows a long
list of promotions and other rewards, including the
promotion of Chev. Reccagui t• the rank of colonel,
with the cross of the military order of Savoy; a
gold medal of military valour to Capt. Jest ; crosses
to three other officers, 31 silver medals,and honour-
able mentions, Ist of all the battalions and
squadrons engaged, and 2dly 102 officers and
privates. ,

The Piedmantese Gazette publishes the 55th and
56th Bulletins, the contents of which hare in a
great measure already reached us by telegraph.
The following facts, however, have not been men-
tioned :—The syndic of Castelletto sopra Ticino
has been dismissed for want of proper spirit in the
midst of the enthusiasm of the people : for the
same reason the Provisional Royal Commissioner
of Arona was dismissed and arrested on the 28th
May. Among the prisoners sent by Garibaldi over
what is termed in the official bulletin the " old
frontier" there are a captain and a lieutenant.

The -Monitore Toscano states that the Duke of
Modena has carried away the money belonging to
several offices,
public besides 800,000 fr. which were
in the treasury at Reggio. Being resolved, more-
over, not to leave anything for the French to get
at, he has set all the game at liberty which was
kept in the preserves of San Felice. He has also
ordered all the bridges to be destroyed, and the
road of the Abetone to be rendered impassable.
The same journal also states that a subscription has
been opened at Florence for the monument to
Alexander Von Humboldt which is to be erected at
Berlin.

" Count de Rechberg, the new Minister of
Foreign Affairs at Vienna, is about to transmit" the
.21Tord states, "to the European Guvernments a
series of documents connected with the present
conflict, consisting of a memoir on the Tuscan revo-
lution and the causes which led to it, and the letters
which were exchanged between Count'de Cavour
and tlw Duke of Modena. By this communication,
Count de Rechberg wishes to draw the attention of
the Cabinets to the dangers which threaten Europe
on that side. We cannot comprehend how these
documents can contr:bute to enlighten the Cabinets
on events which are already well made known to
them ; and as to the dangers which threaten
Europe on that side, they are the same as those
