estimated that the AuStrianS could now MUS

limits of their Italian dominion>.
The correspondents Of the Times, both 1T
Paris and Turin, assert that the speech to he
delivered by the King Of Sardinia. ut the
opening of the Chambers. on the 10Th inst.

owing 10 the increasing suspicion with which
Napolcon's policy is regarded, and that the
attempt Of the Moniteur to soothe the excite
ncnt, but partially succeeded.
The English funds opened on the eth Il, a
recovery of / per cent, but closed with de-
clining tendency.
