The Piednzontese Gazette of the 30th ult. pub -

lishes the 57th and 58th bulletins ; but the only
new information they contain is, that on the 29th
one Speirana, mason, of Pavia, was shot after a trial
by court martial, as convicted of being au Austrian
spy.

The Genoa Gazette states that on the 28th ult.,
while General d'Herbillon was superintending the
transport of the French sick and wounded to the
hospital at Genoa, two gentlemen took up some
wounded in their carriage, and conveyed them to
the hospital. General d'Herbillon, deeply affected
at this mark of sympathy, has requested the muni-
cipality to thank those gentlemen in his name.

Prince Eugene of Savoy has, by a decree of the
29th ult., dissolved the communal council of Modane
(Maurienne) for having neglected to afford proper
accommodation to the French troops during their
passage through that town.

The Tuscan Monitore publishes two circulars
from Baron Ricasoli, Minister of the Interior at
Florence, to the prefects of the provinces ; one
directing them to request of the authorities to take
the necessary measures for providing the French
army with every necessary on its line of march, and
the other announcing that whenever the Govern-
ment shall receive any important piece of intelli-
gence, it will communicate it by telegraph to the
prefects, whose duty it will be to publish it imme-
diately. The same paper also gives the text of the
deelaration by which Tuscany announces that it has
joined Piedmont in the present war against Austria.
Lastly, there is a decree issued by the Minister of
the Interior directing that Chevalier Buoncompagni,
Commissioner Extraordinary to the King of Sar-
dinia in Tuscany, is to receive the military honours
due to his official position.

A letter from Berne of the 29th ult. states that
considerable excitement has been lately caused in
Switzerland by an extraordinary proposition put
forth by the Augsburg Gazette. That journal
suggests that Austria should occupy the six south-
eastern cantons in order to secure the defence of
Southern Germany and Austria, by the possession
of the strategical line from the Lake of Zurich to
the Ticino. " Such a course," says the writer,
" would never be allowed, for although the German
and the French cantons may be divided in their
opinions on certain questions of internal policy, yet
they would all be unanimous in taking up arms,
rather than allow a foreign Power to touch a corner
of the Swiss soil."

THE INDIA AND CHINA

A letter from Berne of the 30th ult. says
" According to reports received by the Federal
Executive from Coire, chief town of the canton of
the Grisons, the state of siege has been proclaimed
at Chiavenna, and the whole population of La
Valtelina were only waiting for the arrival of the
allies to pronounce in favour of the cause of Italian
independence, and to join the Franco-Sardinian
army. [A telegraphic despatch has since announced
that the movement had commenced.] On the other
hand, the arrival of about 2,000 Austrians or Bava-
rians is expected at the frontier of Lichtenstein.
This circumstance seems to confirm what has been
said, that the Austrian Government intends to con-
centrate 30,000 men in the environs of Lindau."
