LATEST NEWS.

r) the re-engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Me thews, and the announcement of their appear-
am :e in two dramatic novelties . drew a crowded
house last evening to this theatre. The first piece,
in which they played, " The King's Milliner," is an
evident translation or adaptation of a French comedy,
and is well fitted to show off the powers of this
talented couple. After the comedy Mr. Mathews
appeared with his wife in a duologue, entitled
" Nothing to Wear." The bills proclaimed it to be
an old friend with a new face by William Brough,
which was truly the case, for in the supposed
novelty we recognised the somewhat old farce
entitled "No. 1, Round the Corner."
Mr. and Mrs. Mathews played their parts, as
might have been anticipated, in the very best man-
ner, and elicited from the gods the most uproarious
applause, who thoroughly enjoyed the idea of a
gentleman and a lady pledging each other's coats
and gowns. " The Galician Fete," an established
favourite, first introduced by the Spanish dancers,
wound up the evening's entertainments.

TIM ITALIAN QUESTION.
The following telegrams were received at Mr.
Reuter's office :

PARIS, TUESDAY, MARCH 15.

The Moniteur of this morning publishes a fresh
article, stating that part of Germany now presents
an appearance both afilictixg and astonishing.
" France," it says " has occupied herself with
the consideration of the alarming state of
affairs in Italy merely to allay it, in con-
cert with the allies and in the inte-
rest of European tranquillity. It is impossible to
show a more siileere desire to unravel peacefully
the existing difficulties, and to prevent further
complications, which are always the result of want
of foresight and decision."
The article proceeds to show that the mistrust of
a part of Germany springs from reflections unjust
and painful to France, and shows contempt for the
independence of her policy.
" The existence of a great nation like France is
not restricted to her frontiers, but manifests itself
in the world at large by salutary acts. France
uses her endeavours for the benefit of her national
power and the advantage of civilisation. When a
nation relinquishes this character she relinquishes
her rank. To contest her right to this legitimate
influence would be to mistake the rights of France.
Tho Emperor understood how to overcome all pre-

judices when he ascended the throne. What
would have happened if, by acting otherwise, he
had rejected, through distrust, the servants of the
former dynasty, and if, instead of establishing
the tranquillity of Europe on a firmer footing,
he had shaken it by 'redeeming, at the price of
European security and independence the recollec-

tions of 1814 and 1815. Such, however, he has not
done. The Emperor does not hold the whole
of Germany responsible for the errors and malevo-
lence of certain manifestations which spring rather
from mean resentment than from serious fears.
Germany has nothing to anticipate from us for her
independence. We sympathise with her nationality.
By showing herself impartial, she will show herself
foresighted, and will do better service to the cause
of peace. Prussia understood this line of policy
when she united herself with England in order to
promulgate wise counsels at Vienna, at a time
when agitators were endeavouring to arouse angry
passions, and to form a coalition amongst the States
of the German Confederation against us. The
attitude of Prussia is certainly more advantageous
to Germany than the excitement of those who,
appealing to the malice and prejudices of 1813,
expose themselves to the risk of irritating national

feeling in France.
"The French people is susceptible in regard to its
honour, but at the same time moderate in the em-
ployment of its strength. If threats will arouse it,
it may nevertheless be pacified by conciliation."

BERLIN, MARCH 15.

The Mannheim Journal states that the Ministers
of War of those States which furnish contingents
to the eighth corps d'armee of the federal army,
held a conference on Saturday at the Castle of
Bruchsal.

of Italy. The writer of the article hopes that Eng-
land will well understand that the "neutrality of
Russia is subordinate to the neutrality of England.
The article also denounces Mazzini as the enemy of
Italy.

MADRID, MARCH 13.

Mr. Preston, the Minister of the United States,
was received yesterday by the Queen in a private
audience. In the name of President Buchanan, he
assured her Majesty of the President's -desire to
maintain friendly relations with Spain, and ex-
pressed his own personal conviction that the
general wish of the people of the United States was
to preserve the bonds of friendship at present exist-
ing between the States and Spain, and to do every-
thing in their power to avoid any misunderstanding
between the two countries.

The Queen replied in terms flattering both to the
United States and its Minister.

We learn by letters received yesterday, that the
emigration from Lombardy to Piedmont rapidly in-
creases. It includes all classes and degrees of people.
For instance, the son of Sebregondi, the actual
Podesta of Milan, has shed the dust of Austria from
his feet, and sought liberty and poverty in Pied-
mont. Young cadets of the noble families of Melzi,
Tavorna, and Litta, have also gone. From Udine,
a curate with 30 of his parishioners have sought re-
fuge in Piedmont ; so also from Trovita, another
curate with a portion of his flock have abandoned
their homes rather than submit longer to Austrian
misrule.

The Austrian troops concentrated in the neigh-
bourhood of Semlin, in order to observe Servia, are
about to leave their present position. The force,

consisting of nearly 12,000 men, is ordered to march
towards Trieste ; and the belief is that it will ulti-
mately be sent to Verona, where the reserves of the
army of Italy will be assembled.

PARIS, MONDAY.

BOURSE, March 13.—Great heaviness prevailed 1

A rally followed, and all quotations left off but
slightly lower than Saturday's prices. The Three
per Cents. closed at 68fr. Threes, after having
been done at 67fr. 85c., declined to ,67f. 65c., and
are now at 67fr. 75c. ; Mobilier varied from 775 fr.
to 767 fr. 50c. ; Orleans, 1,337 fr. 50c. to 1,332 fr.
50C. ; Lyons, 832 fr. 50c. to 830 fr. ; Northern, 930 fr.
