The Times Paris correspondent (second edition),
in his letter dated yesterday, says :
" You will, doubtless, have received before this
the substance of the more important passages of
the King of Sardinia's speech, delivered this day, at
the opening of the Chambers at Turin. What sense
will be attached in England to the passages that
have reached you I know not, but here they have
increased the panic which, on Monday last, was
produced by the Emperor's address to M. Hubner.
Much anxiety was betrayed the whole of the morn-
ing about Turin. It was known that the speech
had been sent up here to be retouched, but opinion
was divided as to whether these touches were in
cheerful or gloomy colours. A despatch from Turin,
giving an analysis, was known here about 2 o'clock.
The last sentence was followed by fresh sales to a
large amount, and the fall continued to the close.

" Another circumstance, which perhaps does not
contribute much to restore calm, is the news of
the approaching marriage of 'Prince Napoleon
with the daughter of the King of Sardinia.
At any other moment this event might pass un-
noticed except among the personal friends of
his Imperial Highness ; but, coincident as it is with
rumours of war, it seems to betoken an intimate
alliance, for good or for evil, with Piedmont. The
Prince will, it is said, set out for Turin on an early
day to become acquainted with his future bride.
After his marriage he will have the disposal of the
whole of the Palais ROyal ; the offices of his de-
partment, as Minister of Algeria, &c., will be
established at the Louvre. It is affirmed that
the Emperor gives a dotation of one million
francs to his cousin. This last is, of course, but a
trifle, if the state of the finances, as described in
the flowery report of M. Magne the other day, be
correct. Anticipating, probably, that the mar-
riage would not at this moment enchant the public,
who are so anxious, and I may say so alarmed, at
the thought of peace being disturbed, orders have
been sent round to the newspapers not to make any
allusion to it. This was understood to be at the
instance of one of the Prince's household acting by
authority. The Minister of the Interior and the
Prince are both, as is well known, partisans of the
liberty of the press ; their notions of it, however,
are, as we see, peculiar. The newspapers have, as
commanded, kept silence. The Prince will be
accompanied to Turin by one of his aides-de-

camp."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JAN. 8.

When all the reinforcements have reached their
destination the Austro-Italian army will consist of
no fewer than 150,000 men ; but a part of the
troops will be placed in echelon between Villach,
Casarsa, Conegliano, and Venice. At first it was
intended to send only two divisions to Italy, but
the day before yesterday orders were given that
seven brigades (three divisions and a half) should
move towards the southern part of the empire. By
Wednesday next the whole of the third corps
d' armee, which is under the command of General
Prince Edmund Schwarzenberg, the son of the
late Marshal, will be on his way to Italy. The
third army corps, which formed the garrison of this
city, consists o': the brigades Martini, Palffy, Ram-
ming, and Wetzlar. The other three brigades are
already moving from the provinces of Galicia and
Transylvania towards this city. Notwithstanding
these warlike preparations the impression on my
mind is that there will not be a collision between
this Empire and Sardinia. The latter may con-
tinue to agitate in Lombardy and in Central Italy,
but she will hardly venture to attack such a
formidable adversary as Austria now is. The
Turin papers tell us that. in case of need, an army
of 120,000 men can be raised, but the thing
is almost impossible, as the kingdom of Sardinia
has but 5,167,542 inhabitants. Both A astria and
France have repeatedly shown that they are not
chary of human flesh and blood, but neither of
them has ever raised an army which ir ach ex-
ceeded two per cent. of the entire population. As
is but natural, the Austrian military authorities
keep their plan of operations secret, but it is self-
evident that Count Gy alai will—for the moment,
at least—act strictly on the defensive. A rising
in Modena, Parma, Tuscany, and the Papal do-
minions would, perhaps, lead to a conflict between
Austria and France, but neither Louis Napoleon
nor Victor Emmanuel is likely to send troops to the
assistance of the disaffected Lombards. The position
in the triangle formed by Peschiera, Mantua, and
Verona is exceedingly strong, and English engineers
have often remarked to me that the Austrians, if
true to themselves, could maintain it against an
enemy of twice their own strength. The Austrian
papers are not allowed to give any information
relative to the state off affairs in the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom, and the natural consequence of
the silence of the press on a subject of such import-
ance is, that the most alarming rumours are in cir-
culation. A strange story is now rely tad here, but it
is not in my power to say whether it is true or false,
as the Vienna authorities profess to know nothing
of what passes in Lombardy. It would appear, if
the tale which is here told be true, that five officers
have recently lost their lives at Brescia under the
following circumstances :—An attempt which was
made by some of the inhabitants of Brescia to
disarm a sentry, who was standing before a guard-
house, led to a conflict between the troops and the
people, during which seven of the latter were killed.
Five of the officers who commanded the troops were
assassinated a few hours after the disastrous col-
lision had occurred. The chances are that the story
is net entirely devoid of foundation, but you mus t
look to Turin for more exact information on the
subject.

There was a regular panic on 'Change to-day,
