Lord j. Russell said he had heard that from

In regard to theNew Government Reform bill.
the Daily Telegraph says: "We have the best au,
thorty for stating that an important movement has
taken place amongst the leaders of the Liberal
Party. Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell
have agreed to lay aside their little differences and
go warmly in against the Government Reform bill.
The questions now to be determined are whether a
meeting the new measure is to be called and
which of the noble Lords is to convene it? If itbe
held at Lord Johns, it is understood that Lord
Palmerston will attend.
The Star confirms this, and states that there would
probably be meeting at Lord John Russels on
the lith nst to confer to the course to be taken
by the Liberal party on the Government Reform
bill.
The Globe says we have every confidence the meas
urc will be dealt with in no desire to make the crisis
subservient to personal ends and that the PRINCIPAL
members of the Liberal Party will be animated with
spirit of cooperation which the great interests
they represent have right to demand on an occa-
sion so important.

that the utter absence of war enthusiasm even il

The Nonite"' of Saturday, March 5, contains al
article from which the following is an extract
''The serious condition of Italian affairs has at
traced the attention of the Emperor, whose endea
vors are to conclude alliance in furtherance O
the interest of France. The Emperor has promised
the King OF Sardinia to protect him against any
aggressive acts of Austria but his promise extend
ed no further. The Emperor denies that France i:
making warke preparations. She has not exceed
ed the effective force she is accustomed to maintain
during peace. Assuming that preparations in the
arsenals have received any extraordinary impulse
1T is because changes were necessary in our artl
lery and in the whole of our fleet All our nava
preparations limited to the arming Of four fri
gates and four transports to meet imminent emer
gencies. 1t is absurd to represent the Emperor al
pushing war and to cast on him alone the response
bIllty OF having caused warlike preparations in
Europe. Where can any one point out words dip
lomalc notes or acts, implying the wish of the En-
peror to provoke war? The Emperor is now exam
lnlng the various reasons OF the present complica
ton, but this must not be regarded as any proyoca
ton OF war on his part. Besides, to examine these
questions is to meet them in a diplomatic wav anC

The Paris correspondent of the Herald states that
the tone OF the French Government papers becomes
more warlike every day, and, in noticing Lord
Brougham' statement that the present preparation:

the Crlmean war, asks how this is reconcilable with
the fact that the horses belonging to the artillery
regiments have been increased from peace footing
of 700 to l400?
The Paris correspondent of the Times reports an
animated conversation which took place between
Prince Napoleon and Count Persgny, at the Tuile-

mony of depositing the Princes marriage contract
The report is that Prince Napoleon expressed his
contempt of the treaties of 1875 and thought that
Italy should be made Independent in spite of them.
AS Tor pubic opinion anywhere, if it contravened
this policy, it should be disregarded. The Prince
is reported to have spoken of political and social
subjects IN manner that could not be surpassed
by provisional government in the first excess of
revolutionary wildness. Count de Persignv conse-
quently replied that such language and such prin-
clpes were mischievous not merely to the Imperial
Government, but. if carried out, would lead infalli-
bly, to the ruin of the best interests of the country
and they should never cease to oppose them.
