A popular manifestation has taken place before
the French embassy in celebration of the victories
in Italy. The ambassador, in addressing the crowd
assembled before his hotel, said that he would not
fail to communicate to the Emperor the sympathies
of Greece. Another demonstration by the students
has taken place, who called for public prayers to
heaven for victory to the allies, and the people sur-
rounded the church with loud acclamations. On
the occasion of the closing of the Chambers the
King declared that he would follow the advice of
the protecting powers without forgetting the honour
of his country.
Advices have also been received from Constan-
tinople to the Bth inst. The Grand Duke Con-
stantine arrived here on the Gth inst. The Porte
has given an evasive reply respecting the election
of Prince Couza. The Sultan asks for guarantees.

VIENNA, JUNE 16.
The Austrian Correspondence publishes the
'ollowing telegram:—

VERONA, JUNE 15.

No news of any importance from the seat of war.
The different corps d'arinee take possession of their
allotted positions unmolested by the enemy.
The division of General d'Urban alone has sus-
tained a fight at Castenedolo with Garibaldi's bands,
which, although amounting to 4,000 men, with
four pieces of cannon, were repulsed by our troops.

The 3loniteur announces that by a decree, signed
by the Emperor on the 4th, at his headquarters at
Novara, a chef de battaillon, a captain of the 3d
Zouaves, and a chef d'escadron of the 2d Regiment
of Chasseurs, have been raised to the rank of
officer in the Legion of Honour ; 42 officers, non-
commissioned officers, and privates in the 3d
Zouaves nominated to the rank of knight ; and the
military medal conferred on 68 non-commissioned
officers and privates of the 3d Zouaves ; on three
privates of the 2d Regiment of the Line, and on
four privates in the 2d Regiment of Chasseurs, all
for distinguished conduct in the combats of Pales-
tro and Novara.

" Certain journals," says the Nord of Brussels,
".pretend that, as the second phase of the opera-
timas of the war will consist chiefly of sieges, the
presence of the Emperor Napoleon in Italy is less
necessary, and that his Majesty will shortly return
to France. That rumour is not worthy of much
credit. It is true that the allied armies will have
important sieges to make, but Austria is concen-
trating all her forces, estimated at 300,000 men,
behind the Mincio, and will certainly try again
her fortunes in the field. Besides, all the
intelligence forwarded to the Ministry of War in
Paris shows that the Austrians are preparing
a desperate resistance on her last line of de-
fence in Italy ; a complete system of fortifications,
like those which gave celebrity to the siege of Se-
bastopol, are now being raised along every water-
course and every road, so as to prclong the struggle
to the utmost. Under such circumstances, when
operations are about to assume a graver and more
decisive character, it is not likely that the Emperor
would think of leaving the theatre of war. In about
a fortnight the allied armies will be ready to com-
mence the campaign on the Mincio and in the
Adriatic ; if the Emperor returned to Paris in that
interval it would evidently be for a very short
period."

Marshal Canrobert addressed two days after the
battle of Magenta the following order of the day
to the corps d'arince under his command :
" Soldiers of the 3d Corps,—The Austrians, who
had vainly attempted to oppose your passage over
the Sesia, thought, the day before yesterday, to
check the advance of the French army at Buffalora
and at Ponte di Magenta. Their repeated efforts
only tended to more strongly demonstrate the
superiority of the French soldiers over them, and to
add another feat of arms to those already inscribed
on our colours. The enemy, beaten successively,
have lost, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, more
than 25,000 men ; they now fly, discouraged, be-
fore our army, and to-morrow, thanks to the skilful
combinations of the Emperor and the courage of
his soldiers, you will enter triumphantly into Milan,
the old capital of Lombardy. Many among you
have taken a direct and glorious part in those great
results, particularly the corps composing the brigade
of General Picard, of the division of Generl Renault,
which had to support the greatest efforts of the
enemy, aiad also those of the brigade of General
Jannin, of the same division, who had to maintain
very desperate combats on the left of the Naviglio.
The Emperor shall be informed of the conduct of
all, and those who have had the honour and the
happiness of showing themselves worthy of a re
compense will soon receive it.

" CANROBERT."

FRANCE,

PARIS, THURSDAY.

A letter from Alessandria of the 12th says:—
" Within the last three days the Chasseurs of the
Apennines have arrived here, and are lodged in the
citadel. Instead of General Ulloa, who was at first
selected for the command of this corps, but has
since been named general in chief in Tuscany, the
Neapolitan Colonel Boldoni is charged with the
definitive organisation of these threen battalions,
which will soon go to join Garibaldi. That cele-
brated partisan is to be promoted to the rank of
lieutenant-general, and he will unite under his
command the chasseurs of the Alps with those of
the Apennines, whose numbers will be increased
by Lombard volunteers, as the tricoloured flag
advances. Among the chasseurs of the Apennines
are two political celebrities of Tuscany. M. Mon-
tanelli, minister of foreign affairs in 1848-9, who
serves in the ranks, and M. Malenchini, one. of the
three chiefs of the provisional government, and
afterwards minister of war, who holds the rank of
major. Alessandria is now surrounded with tents;
which are the first objects that strike the eye of
travellers arriving by the different lines of railway.
Alessandria, like Mechlin in Belgium, is the central
point in which all the railways of the country
meet. While on the subject of railways allow me
to say that the s?rvice could not be better organised
to second the skilful strategical combinations of the
Emperor Napoleon. In acknowledgment of this
fact, M. Bona, the Piedmontese minister of public
works. has been made Grand Cross of the Legion
of Honour by the Emperor, and his Majesty has
expressed himself in the most flattering manner as
to the service of the railways. That commendation is
the more valuable as proceeding from the chief of
a country in which the management of railways
has attained an extraordinary degree of perfection.
A.less-sand.ria can boast a good number of churches,
there being not less than twenty, but five only are
now used for public worship, the rest being used
for military purposes. While I am writing, the
cannon which the Austrians left spiked at Pavia
and Milan are being brought in."
