LA TEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

ROME.
ROME, APRIL 10 (Evening).

The official Giornale di Ronza of to-day energe-
tically protests against some assertions contained in
a letter from Rome to the French journal Le
Monde. It declares the critical remarks made in
that letter against the fidelity of the functionaries
employed by the Roman Government to be entirely
unfounded, and stigmatises as calumny and slander
the statements in the same letter referring to the
Roman nobility, " who," says the official journal,
" are, with very few exceptionS, faithful to the tem-
poral power of the Pope, and will bequeath noble
examples of devotion to their descendants."

SPAIN.

MADRID, APRIL 10 (Evening).

The treaty of peace and amity concluded between
Spain and China has been laid before the Congress.

It is stated that General Sersundi has been nomi-
nated Captain-General of Cuba, replacing General
Dulce, who has resigned that post.

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

VIENNA, ArRIL 11.

The Presse of to-day publishes a telegram stating
that the Prussian reply to the last Austrian note
gives a decisive refusal to the Austrian demand that
Prussia should withdraw the order for the mobili-
sation of her troops.

ARRIVAL OF THE GERMANIA.
(Via Southampton.)
NEW YORK, MARCH 31 (Morning.)
President Johnson, in addressing the Jersey
delegation, who came to offer him their support,
said that in the position he occupied he needed en"
couragement from those desiring to maintain the
first original principles of the Federal Government;
that his line of policy was unmistakeable, and that
he had advanced too far in life to make any

retrograde movement.
In the House of Representatives Mr. Stevens
asked leave to introduce a constitutional amend-
ment, empowering Congress to imkose an export
duty upon cotton. The permission was refnsed.
The Democrats and Republicans continue actively
canvassing throughout Connecticut. Great im-
portance is attached to the issue of the election

graphed to the President of the Jessey Senate to

publican. . _

To-day the Fenian leaders have cautioned all
Fenian public speakers against making in public

Fenian organisation. The early arrival of Stephens
is anticipated here.

COMPARATIVE QUANTITIES AND PRICES OF GRAIN.

The following letter from Earl Grosvenor was
read amidst loud expressions of disapprobation at a
crowded and enthusiastic Reform meeting held on
Monday at Chester :
" Sir,—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
inviting me, on the part of tho committee of the Chester
branch of the National Reform Union, to attend a meet-
ing to support the Government Reform Bill. The com-
mittee are aware of the course I have thought it my duty
to take in moving a resolution on the second reading of
the bill, and they will therefore understand that on
this account I am unable to accept their invitation. We
are anxious to early a bill that, complete in all its parts an
moderate in its provisions, will be for some time at least a
settlement of the question. The returns relative to the
state of the representation lately laid before the house re-
quire further consideration from the country, for they
show that with regard to the representation of the
working classes a far different state of things than
was supposed exists, and that, inasmuch as those
who aro provident and intelligent can, owing to the
increasing rate of wages and the higher rentals of
houses, obtain the £10; qualification, the rate of increase
of voters of this class is progressing at a quicker rate
than the population—a most satisfactory state of things
-and one full of hope for the future, but not one which now
calls for incomplete ;and hasty legislation. I may not
perhaps expect the approval of your association of the
course I intend to take, supported, as I believe I am, by
the common sense of a vast number of my countrymen ;
but I will ask them at all events to give me credit for the
sincerity of my convictions on this most important sub-
ject, and for the honesty of my motives.—l have to remain,
sir, your obedient servant,
" Calveley, Tarporley, March 29, 1866."
