LATEST NEWS.

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

PARIS, THURSDAY.

The Emperor will receive to-day the Prussian
Ambassador, Count Pourtalis, in a private
audience.

Various rumours are afloat.
It is said that the Lyons Railway Company has
received orders to keep its line in readiness for the
transport of 75,000 men.
It is also asserted that the squadron which
recently left Toulon is to proceed to Algiers for the
purpose of embarking troops at that place.
It is further reported that the conferences for
examining the election of Prince Couza have been
adjourned to an indefinite period.

BERNE, MARCH 16.

Masses of conscripts from Lombardy are passing
from Valteleine through the Canton Grisons into
Piedmont.

The Austrian authorities have transported all the
public treasures, records, and registers to Sondrio,
chief town of the Valteleine.

ST. PETERSBURG, WEDNESDAY.

An imperial decree, dated March 10, prohibits
the exportation of horses from Russia and the King-
dom of Poland across the European frontiers.

MARSEILLES, M.knen 16.
Advices have been received from Constantinople
to the 9th inst.

The journals contain nothing new. Letters state
that in all parts of the Principalities preparations
are being made to offer resistance in case Prince
Couza's election should be cancelled.

The English ambassador expressed himself
strongly as to the necessity of making concessions
to the Roumans.

The Governor of Bosnia writes that he has dis-
covered an extensive conspiracy to bring about a
new insurrection, which was on the point of break-
ing out, and which extended to Montenegro. The
Governor demands reinforcements.

The army of observation on the Danube is in a
disorganised condition, and desertions, especially
among the Redifs, are extremely numerous. The
state of the finances is unaltered,

Disorderly bands have been committing plunder
in Candia, have insulted the English Consul, and
demanded his dismissal.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

Lord Cowley is expected to reach Paris this
evening. Meanwhile nothing more is known about
his lordship's mission, but that a strong desire is
manifested in certain quarters, both at London and
Paris, to make out material for negotiating in the
clouds about the Italian question.
M. Musurus is expected to arrive in Paris to-
night, The material for opening the Conferences
is all ready at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs.

The Nuncio has received instructions to wait on
Count Walewski, and represent the danger to
which his Holiness the Pope would be exposed if the
French troops were withdrawn from Rome just now,
without permission to call the Austrians up to the
Eternal City. This is a new song from the Vatican,
very different from Cardinal Antonelli's defiance of
a few days since !
The Opinione in an article which reaches Paris
to-day says with truth :—" France now occupies in
Italy the position which England has lost." The
Opinione heads its observations by " La Guerra
inevitable," and concludes that Piedmont must ere
long resort to arms. _ _

The Opinione and Indipendente of Turin both
state from Piacenza that the Austrians are actively
engaged in fortifying both banks of the Po at that
place. We get nothing from Italy to-day but a
repetition of the accounts of warlike preparations
on the part of Austria, as well as Piedmont. Every
day seems to add to the chances of war. The Vienna
Cabinet has decided to send 50,000 more men to
Italy, which will bring the Lombard army up to
200,000.

The Military Gazette of Vienna of the 12th has
been ordered to say : " The men on furlough
from the regiments of Italy rejoined their corps
with extraordinary promptitude the moment the
summons of the Government was made known to
them. In one regiment, which had 1,000 men on
leave of absence, all have returned but two ; and in
another, which had 1,300, all except five. In one
district 800 men assembled in 48 hours." The
desertions to Piedmont are something alarming for
the Turin authorities, who know not where to find
house-room for them. A despatch from Berne says :
—" Numbers of conscripts deserting from Lom-
bardy pass through the Orisons cantons, and pro-
ceed to Piedmont. The Austrian authorities in the
Valteline have removed all their valuables and
papers to Sondrio, the chief town of the province."
