have received what is termed in France the qratif-
cation (feld allowance accorded to troops abont

The Times correspondent writes on the I'd: f'The
officers OF a division of the Army of Paris were /
am assured, summoned yesterday to the quarters
of their respective Colones and informed that
they were to hold themselves in readiness to
march, as the division was to form part of the army
about to enter on campaign. think it right to
observe that one regiment in particular is men
toned, to the officers of which this order was COM
municated, and am assured that the same occur
red with the other corps. | also learn that the
Government have inquired as to how many men
could be transported per day by rail to Lyons
and that the answer was $4,000. The opinion of
some of the superior officers is that war NAV be con-
sidered certain. People here are already begin
ming to speak of new Treaty of Tilst, and of the
Congress being only for the pupose of gaining times
and some Of great experience in Imperial politics,
and who have held high positions under Govern
ment, believe the danger of is not vet over.

Letters from Rome, Florence, and other towns of
Italy announce that numerous subscriptions have
been opened for the purpose of aiording pecunary
assistance to the Sandman Government and also

mont
In the London evening papers of the 4th inst.
we find the following important news:
The London Times Paris correspondent saws
letter from Lyons states that army of co 900 men
would soon be encamped in that vicinity
second letter corroborates the intelligence, and
says that French army of 10000 men has been
ordered to the frontiers of Piedmont, and that this
measure was only decided on late Friday evening
A Paris despatch of Monday morning saws the
French government has taken fresh stems 70 nro
cure the admission OF Piedmont, of which there ap-
pears, however, to be no hope. The Piedmontese
government is now preparing another expostuIa-
tory manifesto against its definite exclusion from
the Congress.
The defeat of the Derby Cabinet is very briefly
commented on by several Of the Paris journals.
Three brigades Of troops are to be encamped at
Beley, on the Sandman frontier. 1t is announced
that fourth regiment Of native rhemen is to be
raised in Algeria.
A despatch from Turin, of the I'd inst, saws:
Count CavOur has arrived here, and, as testi-
mony of the public confidence, an imposing demon
stration prepared for his reception.
Letters from Rome, Florence and other towns of
Italy, announce that numerous subscriptions have
been opened for the purpose of affording pecuniary
assistance to the Sardlnlan government. and also
that volunteers have been dispatched to Piedmont
Under date of the 22d of March, the same day
upon which the Paris Monite,r announced the
proposal of a Congress by Russia, Count Cavour
addressed a circular despatch to the Piedmontese
diplomatic agents at foreign Courts. 1t is protest
against the exclusion of Piedmont from the Con-
gress.
The folowingis analysis of the despatch taken
from the Courier du Dimdnche:
Count CayOur commences by saving that he has
just received by telegraph the announcement in the
Paris Monitenr that Russia proposes Congress to
settle the difference relative to Italy, and that
France accepts the proposal.
Count Cavour then expresses the painful surprise
experienced by Piedmont that she should be exclu-
ded from the Congress. He protests against that
exclusion which he describes as unjust, suggesting
that having no interest in the Crmean war, Pied
mont, nevertheless, took a very active part in the
military operations of the allied powers that it
spared no sacrifices either in men or money, and
states that that expedition cost Piedmont from 5000
to 1000 men and sc, 900, 900 francs
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is firmly convin-
ced that Piedmont having, moreover, after the
Eastern war, been called upon to take part in the
labors of the Congress opened at Paris to conclude
the treaty of peace and more recently to join the
conferences which regulated the situation of the
Danubian ncipalities-arrangements in which it
had no interests fully entitled to have a voice in
the deliberations of the five great European Powers
when its own existence is at stake.
Count Cavour cannot understand the argument
that if Piedmont is admitted to the Congress all the
other Italian States should be admitted likewise
In addition to the above cited considerations which
enttle it to distinct privilege from its neghbors
Piedmont appeals to the peculiar crcumsta tances
which have preceded the proposal of a Congress.
Russia did not spontaneously propose to the five
great European Powers a consideration of the gem
eral state of affairs of the Italian peninsula with
view to improve the condition of the inhabitants.
The point of the question is to be found in the COM
plants OF Piedmont respecting the position Aus
trla has assumed towards it, and the counter com
plants Austria has brought forward in reply. The
Congress- therefore, has to decide between Austria
and Piedmont; and is Austria to be allowed voice
in the Congress, while Piedmont is to be excluded?
Count CavOur then draws distinction between
the position Piedmont would hold at the Congress
compared with the other Italian States. The gov
ernment of King Victor Emmanuel has always
shown great solicude for the sulferings of Italians
not subjects of Piedmont; the other governments
on the contrary-all allies of tAustria-act in con-
cert with her, pay no heed to these suierings, and
have constantly opposed all reforms; their repre-
sentatives would consequently attend the Congress
simply to support Austria and thwart the views of
Europe. 1t would be far different if the people
subjected to the domination of that government
were allowed to send delegates to the Congress to
explain the grievances which weigh upon them and
under which they chafe.
Count Cavour concludes by recapitulating the
dangers that will arise from the maintenance of the
status quo in Italy, declaring that if the great Euro
pean Powers let slip the opportunity for improving
the condition of Italy and paciyng it, the respon-
sioillty OF Interior events will fall upon them en-
tirey, Piedmont declining the slightest part in it.
MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RoAD.-We learn from
the Qwd NUnc that, from July, 1858, to February,
1859, period of eight months, the gross receipts
of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad amounted
| in round numbers, to 1882 090. During the same
| time the entire expenses of the Company were
| S3620O0; thus leaving clear profit of $500 600
| We have this statement from Col. Sam Tate, the
| President of the road. Can any other road in the
Union, 27l miles long, and built at cost of S6OOO-
! 600, make good showing as that? Fifteen per
cent. per annum the capital stock is pretty
| high figure, even this side of the Atlantic
