RECEPTlON OF THE FRENCH TROOPS IN
PIEDMONT.
CRANBERRY, piedmont April 2G.-For two days
past the rumor of the approaching arrival of the
French troops in this city has been circulated.
Yesterday morning extraordinary excitement
was observable To the credit of the population
let me say, opinions all merged in a single
sentiment: in favor of France, and the triumph of
the FrancoSardinian army. Thus every one was
animated with the desire to greet upon their pas
| sage those gallant soldiers, who have won the ad-
miraton of the entire world Some of the old in
habtants, who remembered the first republic and
the first empire say that at the approach of the old
"Army of Italy" the enthusiasm was not more de-
mOnstrative.
1t was known that the first detachment would
pass through the city towards noon. At 9 O'Clock
the population fastened to occupy every practical
BILE point of observation around the depot The
left side of the railroad forms, at this place. spe
cies of amphitheatre, bounded by numerous houses
They were crowded with spectators. The sur
rounding country supplied its contingent. Neither
report that the order of march having been coun-
fernandez, nor the most penetrating of rains could
repress the ardor the curiosity of the multitude
| At lO% A. NJ. the depot gates were opened to the
privileged public, which consisted of all the au-
thorities, the magistracy the bar, and the various
notabiites of the neighborhood Old soldiers ofthe
| first empire were to be seen there decorated with
the Saint Helena medal. Among them that old
| friend of Surgeon Maor-in- Chief Baron Larrby,
! Chevalier Louis Domenget, formerly Surgeon-Ma-
or of one of the regiments of the Imperial Guard,
and Chevalier Vaugat, Major of the National
| Guard, of Chambery.
Presently after, the band of the militia was adj
mitted. Hours and minutes elapsed. At last at
o'clock, the sound of the steam-w whistle was heard;
| the locomotive which has come from Culoz with the
velocity of flight pauses; there thirty in the
train. They contain the Chasseurs de Vincennes of
the Nineteenth Battalion, and several companies of
the Forty-third of the Line. The whole body of
spectators uncovers The soldiers show themselves
at the gates. The air resounds with prodigious
acclamations: ''Vive la Francev' "Vive PEmpereur"
"Vive lie RoiP' 'Vivent les Chasseurs de Vincen-
nesP' give the Forty-thrd of the Linep' At this
moment the air Pdrtdm pour la Syrie mixes with
the noisy welcome.
At the end of ten minutes the train resumes its
way to Saint-J can de- Maurenne, where a reception
no less ardent awaits it. At 2:3O P. M. it enters
that city. The Syndc, his adjunct and the several
authorities, with the Bishop, Monsigneur Vibert,
accompanied by two priests, hasten to greet the
brave soldiers, who appear charmed with this wei
come of people who, more than once since 1915,
has yearned towards France.
Every three hours new transport trains pass
through Chambery. The railroad management has
suspended some days four or five of the regular
arrivals and departures of trains
The enthusiasm is no less expressive on the part
of NOTTINGHAM, through which marched the troops,
which, for week past, have been stationed at Gre
noble and its neighborhood.
To-day new troops, infantry, cavalry and arte-
~ are passing through in express trains every three
hours.
spondent of the National hteUigencer says: There
has, probably, not been any election since that
which Immediately preceded and that which imme-
diatey succeeded the Reform bill of equal interest
with the present The Tories of all shades are
| making a wonderful effort to strengthen Lord
Derbys hands and fix him firmly in power, and the
Wings of all shades from the oldest and deepest of
Blue and Buff, through all the gradations of Blue,
and again into the deepest dye of Red Radcalism
are equally bent upon holding on to the cause Of
Reform, of which we think Lord John Russell is,
at present, the most favored leader. The Tories
have raised very large fund to influence the cleo
ton; this purse is said to have contained not less
than 100000, of which Lord Derby has, if Sir
James Graham in his Carlisle speech was rightly
informed, given as much 100000 This amount
Is perhaps exaggerated, for the Premier, like Mrs.
Gilpin although "on pleasure bent" is generally
known, even in his gayest moments, to possess a
"frugal mind" Then the Duke northumberland,
who re oices in the name of Algernon Percy has
proved his riches and his loyalty to his party and
his order by subscription of EOS, 900. The three
new peers have each, we told, paid an entrance
fee into the House of Lords of 100000 each Sir
John Pakington, that fine old English gentleman,
has, find it stated, undertaken the disbursement
of this fund, and engaged to find candidates for
every constituency who may apply to him. if he
cannot find constituents for every candidate all on
the most advantageous terms.
