SARDINIA.

A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels, says :
" The interviews of Count de Cavour with the
Emperor are prolonged, and indicate an earnest
desire on the part of the French Government to
find a means for satisfying the demands of Pied-
mont for her admission into the Congress. Count
de Cavour had long conferences with the Emperor
on-the 26th, 21th, and 28th ult., and- his conversa-
tions with Count Walewski have lasted as much as
two hours. On all these occasions the Sardinian
Minister developed in the strongest terms'the mo-
tives on which Piedmont ought to be admitted into
the Congress, and on the 28th the count sent an
official note to the French Government on the sub-
ject."

Another letter in the Independance says :
" One of my friends, a political personage, and
member of one of the three great bodies of the
State, has had the honour of an interview with
Count de Cavour. Their conversation was rather
reserved, but my friend tells me that Count de
Cavour expressed himself somewhat surprised at
the state of public opinion in France, and:at the
French, even the bourgeoise, not understanding
better than they do the immense interests which
France has in Italy. My friend remarked that it
was true that France had been surprised by the
Italian question, which had been brought forward
all at once without preparation and without any
explanation ; but that if political necessities should
force the Emperor to go to war, the nation would
follow him. The impression made on my friend
was that the Piedmontese Minister believes little in
peace, and that war seems in his opinion the sole
means of deciding the pending question." The
same letter adds :—" I am assured that Count de
Cavour will leave Paris delighted with the Em-
peror's kindness, and that if he has not been able to
obtain success in the special object of his mission,
he has at least received his Majesty's most positive
assurances of his great and lasting interest in the
cause of Italian nationality. This intetest is not
perhaps shown to the same degree by the great
political bodies of the State, and the high digni-
taries of the Government, nor even by the heads of
the army. Accordingly, M. de Cavour does not
speak so warmly of his reception by great political
personages as of that by the Emperor."
The following is the text of a protest sent by
Count de Cavour to Count Brassier de Saint Simon,
Prussian Minister at Turin, against the violation of
the Sardinian territory committed by an Austrian
patrol :

" Turin, March 20.
" Excellency, —I have just been informed by the
competent local authorities, that last night 11
armed Austrian infantry soldiers, curnmarided by a
-sergeant," violated the Sardinian territory at the
passage at Limido, near the place called Stanza-
verde, i)y penetrating by Sabbione on the territory
of Carbonara. These men did not return into
Lombardy until a quarter past five in the•morning,
by the bridge of Gravellona. They declared
that they had lost their way, and they re-
quested to be directed to the Pavia road. Taking
into account the explanations given by these
soldiers, and without giving to this fact an import-
ance which it perhaps does not merit, I neverthe-
less, think it my duty to point it out to the attention
of the Cabinet of Vienna. 'This violation of territory
might have been attended with very • serious
consequences, if the King's Government had
followed the example of that of Austria, and placed
advanced posts on the extreme limits of the
frontier. In such a case, if the Austrian "patrol'
had been met by our soldiers, a collision would
have been inevitable. I consequently leave to the
impartial judgment of any unprejudiced person to'
judge of the disastrous effects which the measures
adopted by the Cabinet of Vienna might produce,.
if the King's Government did not endeavour to'
guard against them by a conduct full of reserve and
.moderation.' I request your Excellency to make,
what precedes known to the Cabinet of Vienna.—.
Accept; &c., " C. CAvoun.”
" Accounts from the eastern part of Piedmont,"
says a letter from Turin in the Augsburg Gazette,'
" state that such large numbers of troops have been
collected that they have to be lodged in convents:
and other buildings, the occupants of which have'
had to leave. The soldiers complain bitterly of the
bad accommodation which they have to put up
with, and a good deal of sickness,..in some cases
terminating fatally, has taken place among them.
The army manifests little enthusiasm for war. The
ultra journals make a great noise about the volun-
teers who have come in, but the real amount thus
far is only 4,000. Of these, 2,000 have been in-

corporated in the regiments of the line, 1,500 are
at Cunco, the head quarters, and 500 have received
no destination."

The dispute between Paraguay and the United
States has been- peacefully settled by mutual ex-
planations on the facts which had caused it, namely,
the affair of the steamer Waterwitch, and the con-
duct of the Government of Paraguay towards the
American agent who was entrusted in 1857 with
the ratification of the treaty of commerce.
The Government of Paraguay has concluded a
new treaty' of commerce and navigation, and
granted `concessions similar to those of other nations
which have obtained commercial privileges from
the Government of Paraguay; it has also engaged
to pay an indemnity to the American Navigation
CompanY, the amount of which will either be fixed
by a reference to -Washington, or else will be,
submitted to the arbitration of Prussia, Russia, or
England.
An accident has happened at Rio de Janeiro on
the Don Pedro Railway. The locomotive ran off
the rails, causing the death of three persons, among
whom was the inspector-general of the railway.
Besides the killed, six persons were wounded.
