DISSOLUTION LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reutcr's office :

PARTS, SATURDAY, APRIL 23.

The Moniteur of to-day contains the following

The Austrian Government has invited Sardinia
to reduce her army to a peace footing and to dis-
band the army of volunteers.
This communication was transmitted to Turin
by the aide-de-camp of General Gyulai. That
officer appears to have been instructed to declare
that he would wait three days for an answer, and
that any evasive reply would be regarded as a
refusal. England and Russia have not hesitated
to protest against the c onduct which Austria has
adopted under the present circumstances.
The Emperor has allotted the command of his

troops in the following manner :—Marshal Mag-
nan remains Commander of the army of Paris ;
the Duke of Malakoff becomes commander-in-chief
of the Army of Observation, the head quarters of
which is to be at Nancy ; General Castellan is
commander-in-chief of the Army of Lyons ; Marshal
Baraguay d'Hilliers is appointed commander of
first Corps &Armee of the Alps, General M'Mahon
of the second, General Canrobert of the third, and
General Niel of the fourth. Prince Napoleon will
command the Corps of Pioneers. General Randon
is appointed major-general of the Army of the
Alps.

The Corps Legislatif has been convoked for
Monday next in order to receive a communication
of the Government.

PARIS, APRIL 22.
The Patrie of this evening contains the follow

'rig :-

The delay granted by Austria to Piedmont for
disarming will, as it appears, expire on Sunday
evening next. Till now nothing has confirmed the
report here circulated that an engagement has been
fought on the Ticino. It is rumoured that General
Bandon will be appointed Major-General of the
army to be concentrated on the frontiers of Pied-
mont, and that Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers will
take his departure to join the army of the Alps.
General Canrobert has arrived in Paris from Nancy.
The report is current that the Austrians have
entered the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma, and
Modena. It is also asserted that the French
soldiers on renewable furlough are to be called in.

VIENNA, SATURDAY, APRIL 23.

The official Wiener Zeituny of to-day says Austria
insists upon the previous disarmament of Piedmont,
and desires that the Congress be composed only of

the great Powers.

TURIN, APRIL 22.

The Chambers have been convoked for to-morrow
for a communication of great urgency. All the
military measures are taken.

VERONA, APRIL 21.
All trains on the Lombardo-Venetian Railway
have been stopped for some days.
ATHENS, APRIL 16.
The French squadron stationed at the Piraeus
has been ordered to Marseilles.

MARSEILLES, APRIL 21.
Advices have been received from Naples to the

19th inst.

A fresh discharge of matter has relieved the
King's chest, but the fever, which has now lasted
three months, has reduced his Majesty to.the last
stage of exhaustion.

Letters 'state that Sicily is threatened by dearth.
The Queen of Prussia has to-day left Naples for

Rome.

Letters from Leghorn announce warlike man

festations.

BOULOGNE, APRIL 22 (Evening).
The French army is in full march to the frontiers
of Piedmont. This is official.

" I have received a letter from Athens, dated
April 15. Government has ordered the army and
navy to be placed on a war footing It is generally
believed the Queen has arranged to place the Greek
mercantile navy, such as it is, at the disposition of
Austria. On the other hand, as the people of Greece
are enthusiastic friends of Italy, Government agents
say the war preparations are intended for Turkey.
By this means Government and the Queen think to
deceive the people. There exists much political
excitement throughoat the Christian population of
the East."

A semi-official journal of Turin states that
placards have been posted up by the local authori-
ties in the villages near the Lago Maggiore, re-
commending the people, in the name of the Govern-
ment, not to oppose resistance in case of an Austrian
invasion, and to pay any war contribution that
may be imposed by the enemy—the Government
promising to indemnify them.

A Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels,
says :—" According to the latest accounts from
Turin, the Sardinian Government is no longer
master of the movement ; and, consequently, if by
the adhesion of Austria to the pacific propositions
of France the meeting of the Congress should be
definitively decided on, an insurrection in Pied-
mont is to be dreaded ; at all events, disarming is
impossible. In a word, the master of a situation
is no longer Count de Cavour, but Garibaldi; and
it is quite possible for the Piedmontese army to
find itself opposed by the free corps which repre-
sent the revolutionary spirit and the cause of
Italian independence."

A letter from Vienna of the 18th, in• the National
Gazette of Berlin, says :—" The corps d'armee of
Prince de Liechtenstein has begun to leave Vienna
for Italy. At Venice nine large palaces, each of
which can contain from 300 to 1,000 men, and the
whole more than 5,000, have been set apart for the
troops who pass through. Five Lloyd's steamers
are appropriated exclusively to the conveyance of
troops from Trieste to Venice. Between the Mincio
and the Ticino, theatres, convents, and churches are
employed for lodging troops. The Austrian army
has commenced a movement on the Ticino. With
the exception of the ship of the line Kaiser, which
is now being fitted out at Pola ; of the frigate
Schwarzenberg, which is to leave the dockyards of
Venice in a few days ; of some paddle-wheel
steamers, which are used as transports on the coast
of Dalmatia ; of the frigate Novare, which is
engaged in a voyage of circumnavigation ; and of
some vessels stationed in the Austrian ports and at
Ancona—all the Imperial fleet is assembled at
Malamocca, near Venice, under the command of
Commodore Scopinich."

Letters from Berlin state that Prussia has decided
on putting on foot an army of 130,000 men, des-
tined to protect Germany in the case of a conflict.
This measure is not the result of Archduke Albert's
mission, but is the natural 'consequence of the
general arming. The attitude of Prussia would be
analogous to that of England—that is, an armed
neutrality.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(second edition) says
I am able to assure you on official authority
that a Russian army have received orders to pro-
ceed to the Austrian frontier. I pointed out the

possibillity of such an event some time since. The
public will understand the importance of such an
event.

Austria is said to be about to occupy Tuscany,
Parma, and Modena. To this information I may
add that Austria has called upon Naples to send
troops into the Adriati, without delay.
" The Austrian army iu Italy has permission to

seize on all private dwellings and occupy them. Franas Bowitsch, Prince Milosch's favourite, now
