during the passage.
A despatch from Vienna, staten that Aus
tria on the 23d ut., agreed to the proposed
congress, and it would probably meet at AK
la Chappele. All the other powers had pre-
viously given their consent.
A Paris letter in the Nord, of Brussels,
states that the Sandman Cabinet has addressed
communication to the two great powers,
strongly insisting ON being allowed to take
part in the deliberations the affairs of Italy,
and the Paris correspondent of the London
Post SAYS that in consequence of the repre-
sensations made by Count Cavour, the French
government consents that Piedmont and other
Italian States shall be represented at the Con-
ference
The London. Star believes that Lord Mains
bury had been appointed to represent England
in the Congress.
Prince Napoleon personally insisted upon
the admission of Piedmont into the Congress,
and represented to the Emperor that in the
event of Piedmont not being admitted, Count
Cavour intends to resign. The Prince had
previously announced to the Piedmontese gov
eminent that he would claim her admission
into the Congress, but, that, in that event, adj
mission could not be refused to Tuscany, the
Papal Government, and the Duchy of Par
ma. Naples, and Medina naturally excluded
Naples on account of the interruption of in
ternatonal relations, and Medina because it has
never recognized the imperial government.
PARIS, Friday, 25.-The Patrie this evening
states that the cabinets of London and st. Pc
tersburg have agreed to the proposal of France
to admit Piedmont, and there is hope that the
Cabinet of st. Petersburg may also consent, in
which event Austria cannot oppose the wish of
the great powers.
Great Britain.
Parliamentary proceedings on the 23d are
unimportant. On the oath, in the House of
Commons, the debate on the reform question

cess, while the excitement outside was und-
minished The debate was further adjourned.
On the 25th, in the House of Lords, Earl
Peterborough called attention to the state of
Indian finance. The Earl of Derby admitted
that the aspect of the Indian finances was very
gloomy. He explained the mode by which the
Governor General proposed to meet the diff
cultles, viz: by four per cent. loan; by
slightly increasing duties on imports by
stamp duty and by a duty on home
grown tobacco. In addition to these efforts,
in India her Majesty's government would this
session have to ask Parliament for power to
increase the already proposed loan of seven
millions to ten millions, and perhaps to twelve
m illions.
In the Commons, Mr.. Owen Stanley gave
notice that, in the event of the Reform bill
being rejected on the second reading, he
should move a resolution that the government
is no longer entitled to the confidence of the
House.
The debate on the Reform bill was resumed.
Lord John Russell entirely repudated all fac
tious motives, and declared that the passage of
the resolution must not be regarded as a vote
of cenSure.
The debate was further adjourned.
The general impression was, that ministers
were sure of defeat or division on Sir John
RusselPs amendment to the Reform bill

great activity. The exports were f9,614,090,
against e., 288,000 in the same month last
year.

total public income for the year 1857 to 1858
was E66,0l9,000. Nett reduction of the

600.
LATEsT.-The Liberal Journals of Saturday
declare that Palmerston's speech has saved the
Ministry, as he proclaimed that he should vote
for the second reading of the Government
Reform bill as well as for Lord John RusselPs
revolution, merely regaring the latter as in
structions for the amendment of the bill in
committee. The Star says that Lord Palmer
ston has cheated the country out of a liberal
reform measure, and completely turned the
tables on Russell.
The Times City article says the announce
ment of Russian loan of f12000,0 900, caused
the funds to close heavy.
France.

Gently written to Turin, exhortng Count Ca
YOUR to calm the efferVescence of the Pied

instead of an appeal to arms.

Spain.
In the Chamber of Deputies, a call having
been made for the production of papers rela-
tive to the negotiations between the United
States, and France and England, for the ac-
QUESTION of Cuba by America, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs replied, that some Deputies
had expressed a desire to see the adminstra-
ton of Cuba improved, and the President of
the United States had expressed the same
wish. The opinion Of the President of the
United States was, that Spain did not admins
ter Cuba well, and that the United States,
on account of their higher intelligence,
had moral duty to fulfill, which was to pur-
chase the island. The government could not
allow the idea about Cuba to remain uncontra-
dicted. All the governments had labored to
improve the administration of that island. The
bestreply to the representations of certain ora
tors of the United States was the prosperity of
the island of Cuba. That the question OF the
acquisition of the island was imposing and
menacng, it could not be denied, nevertheless
the government declared that it felt all the Sc
curity which great national resources were cal
culated to inspire. 1t had not however, rem
dered insult for insult, as that would probably
have aggravated the question. As no diplo-
matte documents existed on the question which
was almost terminated, the government hoped
that M. Badia would be satisfied with the ex-
PLANTATION given, and withdraw his motion.
The motion was then withdrawn.
