FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The Empress Eugenie this day completes her
33d year.
The Imperial reception at the Tuileries last even-
ing was most numerously and brilliantly attended.
All the high functionaries, and the members of the
Senate, Council of State, and Legislative Body were
present.
The Austrian Ambassador, M. de Hubner, has
quitted Paris to-day.
The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow-
ing account of the sitting of the French Senate, on
the 3d inst., under President Troplong. Prince
Napoleon attended the sitting. M. Fould, Minister
of State, took his seat with the usual formalities
and addressed the Senate as follows :

" Gentlemen, —I have had the honour of laying
before the Senate a statement of the negotiations
followed by the Powers up to the moment when
Austria, separating her action from that of the other
Cabinets, took the resolution of addressing an ulti-
matum to Sardinia to the effect that if it was not
agreed to she would have recourse to arms.
" The Government of the Emperor did not wish
Austria to remain ignorant of the view it should
take of such an eventuality, and his Majesty's
Chargé d'Affaires at Vienna, on the 26th of last
month, notified to the Austrian Government that
if its troops crossed the Piedmontese frontiers
France would be obliged to regard such an inva-
sion of an allied country as a declaration of war.
" The Court of Austria having persisted in em-
ploying force, and its troops having entered the
Sardinian territory on the 29th, the Emperor has
ordered me to bring to the cognisance of the Senate
this fact, which constitutes Austria in a state of war
with France."
This communication was received with shouts of
" Vivo l'Empereur !" The President then rose and

said—
" I take note of the communication of the Mini-
ster of State. If I may be allowed to add a few
words to interpret the sense of the acclamations we
have, just heard, I will say, while our illustrious
colleagues the Marshals and Generals intrusted
with commands will maintain the glory of the
French name opposite the enemy, the senators who
remain here will not shrink from any act of civil
courage or devotion to the Emperor. There will
be a rivalry of patriotism between them and us—
(applause)—for this is a just war ; it is simply a
reply to a challenge and an aggression. It is the
consequence of a secular policy which has always
been moved by the crises in Italy as if they were
events in France. (' Yes, yes !' and applause.) The
Emperor cannot allow Turin, which& is the key of
the Alps, no more than Rome, which holds the keys
of the church, by the hands of a holy and venerated.
Pontiff—(great sensation)—to fall under the usurp-
ing yoke of an influence hostile to France. (Great
applause.)
" Italy, then, will be restored to her nationality.
She will not be revolutionised—(' Excellent') —but
liberated—(great applause)—and that beautiful
country, threatened with a master, will find a
liberator.

" Vive l'Empereur !"
All the members rose and joined in the acclama

tion .

The following report to the Emperor from M.
Magne, Minister of Finance, on the subject of the
new loan, is published in the Moniteur :
" Sire,—A law has just authorised your Majesty to
raise, by a negotiation of State Stock, an extraordinary
resource of 500 millions of francs applicable to the
expenses of the war of Italy. The period, the mode, and
the conditions of effecting this loan have, as usual, been
left to the judgment of the Government. It results from
the particulars furnished in support of the law that the
situation of the Treasury is excellent. The resources
which it holds in reserve, and the ordinary means at its
disposal, would allow it, without embarrassment to the cur-
rent services of the State, to devote more than 300 million,
to the first expenses of the war. It is therefore merely as
a simple measure of prudence, and in order not to keep
capitalists in suspense, that I am about to propose to your
Majesty not to defer the opening of the subscription.
A national subscription having fully justified tha
Preference which your Majesty has given to that
system, there is no reason why it should be departed from.
I propose to your Majesty to regulate the conditions of it
in the following manner :-1. The subscribers, as in the
preceding loans, shall have the choice of either 3 per Cents.
or 41 per Cents. 2. The minimum of subscription shall be
for 10fr. of route. 3. Subscriptions for 10fr, shall be ex-
empt from any reduction ; those for larger sums shall be
reduced in proportion, but without being brought below
10fr. of rente. The rate of issue shall be fixed at 90fr. for
the 4i per Cents. with interest from the 22d March last,
and at 60fr. 50c. for the 3 per Cents., with interest from
the 22d December, 1858, 5, One-tenth part of the capital

desperation too, and in its utter want of good

drag from his retreat a captain Alai, of the Gen"

effect that his health would not permit him t°
