The closing meetings of the National Assembly
were taken up by discussions on the Italian ques-
ton, in which the ministry finally obtained a
majority of 80. 1t would seem from the statements
made on the subject, that M Odilon Barrot did
not give any instructions to Gen. Oudinot, recon-

moral check on the advance of the Neapolitans
and Austrians, and only to march onward IN case
of absolute necessity The ministry were not,

are reported to be in the ascendant. They are said
10 be within a few days march of Vienna, TO
which point the Russians arc pressing forward as

settled The only positive facts are, that the Danes
have suffered another defeat, and that Lord Pal
