FRANCE.-0n Sunday evening grand ban
quet was given by the Emperor to the principal
chiefs Of the army. About three hundred per-
sons were invited At the close Of the banquet
the Emperor spoke as follows:
"Gentcmea: The joy experience at find
ing myself again with most of the chiefs of the
army of Italy would be complete if it were not
tinged with regret, to behold soon the dissolu-
tion of the elements of force SO we'll organ
lied and formidable. AS u Sovereign, and as
COmmander,in Chief, l thank you again for
your confidence.
"It was Aatterng to mo, who had never
commanded an army, to find so much obedi-
ence on the part of men who had great expe-
rience in warfare. If fsuccess has crowned our
efforts, am happy to attribute the greater
part of it to the skillful, devoted generals who
rendered my command so easy, because ami
mated with social fire, they have necessarily
givcu an example of duty, and a disregard of
death. A portion of our soldiers are about to
return to their homss you, yourselves, arc
about to resume the occupations of peace
nevertheless, do not forget what we have done
together. Let the remembrance of obstacles
overcome, of danger eluded, of imperfectionS
discovered, be ever present to your minds.
"lu commemoration Of the Italian campaign
shall distribute a medal to all who took part
in it, and wish that to- day you may be the
first to wear it. May it recall mo sometimes
to your memory, and while reading the go-
rious names engraved thereon, let each ex.
claim, 'If France has done 81 much for a
people who is her friend, what would she not
do for her own independence now propose
the health of the army"
The Monieur states that the Emperor hav-
ing decided on retaining, for the present, an
army of fifty thousand men in Lombardy,
several corps which had much distinguished
themselves in the late campaign could not be
represented at tho entry of the troops.

| AUsTRIA.--The ministerial crisis is not YET
| over. A combination, with Count Leo Thun
at its head, had met with so many difficulties
that its success isvery doubtful. f'.
! The Count Cleari Martinuet had refused Ia
accept the portfolio of Public Instructions, and
in regard to his acceptance Of the Ministry Of
the Interior, he put in combinations which
wore rejected, and he had therefore returned
to his post of Governor of Cracow.
Well informed persons assert that the Con
stitution, which the Commission was about t
work ont, would be characterized by tho prin.
ciple of decentralization, by the re-establish
ment of representing of princes by prerogativo,
given to the aris tocracy of all the provinces
and lastly by strict Catholic spirit. ...
