From tho Morning Herald, March 81.
PARIS, March 29.-A few hours have eff cted a
great alteration i'm the aspect Of affairs here: Yesterday
all was calm-to-day all is excitement. The cOnfirma-
ton of the reported entry of the Austrians into Bolog-
ma, aud the speech of the President of the Council in
reference to it, leave little ground for hope that war
may be avoided. Tie report on the state Of the public
Treasury and revenue, presented by Mr.. Human, is
fraught with additional cause for dependency.
SPEAKING on the subject Of the entrance of the Aus
TRANS ino Bologna, the Journal des Deba,s OF this
day, under date Of Sunday last, contains the following
"The Au.trians entered Bologna on the 20 h inst.
eve are assured this evening that a dipioma,ique
note has been 'orwartei to the Aurtrian Cabinet, to
notify it that France would not softer the Austri,us to

The arrival OF General Claussl in Paris has been o.

The first step taken by the army Of France beyond
the bridge Of Kehl would be the signal for insurrec-
ton ihro' the Ell tire OF the CT deUant Rhenish province.

PARIS, March 20.-I have tn satisfaction OF stating.
