Some particulars Of what took place in the first ait
tir gs Of the Congress have come to me from very
authentic source. Tie first sitting presented nothing
OF importance; after an exchange OF powers prelim-
nary conversation on general facts was opened twas
only Of the second that things took more serious
turn. When the points agreed at Viatranca, which
tipua.e for the return 10 the Duchies of their Princes
were mentioned the Sandman Pen pOtentary declared
that impossible for hun To adhere TO that clause
ard that his Instructions Joined him not TO consent
10 proposition which Piedmont could never accept. An
animated discussion then arose, which supported by
Baron de B0urqnerey and Count de Colloredo against
the Sardiusn np1eDtisry and it became at lypgth
that the lastnamed Representative was
obliged TO leave. Private Interviews have since taken
place, hut nothing has shaken the determination Of W.
Desambrois, as Lis Instructions the point pre-
else The matter has been referred to Vienna, Turin,
and Paris. II follows matter Of course that the
Sandman Cabinet will maintain the same attitude,
unless the Emperor Napoleon shonld weigh so
heavily on King Victor Emanuel as to induce him 10
