THE PROPOSED CONGRESS-.
despatch from Vienna states that Austria on
the 23d, agreed to the proposed Congress, and it
would probably meet at AK La Chapelle; all the
other powers had previously given their consent.
A Paris letter. in the Nord, states that the Sar-
dinian Cabinet has addressed communication to
the five great powers, strongly insisting on being
allowed to take part in the deliberations in the af
fairs of Italy; and Paris correspondent of the
London Post says, that in consequence of the rep
resentations made by Count Cavour, the French
government consents that Piedmont and other Ita-
ian States shall be represented at the Conference
1t is stated that Austria consented TO the Con-
gress under certain conditions, but that they are
j
would, a matter Of course, insist on a strict
maintenance of the treaties of 1915, but that she
will hardly object to revision of her special trea-
ties with the Italian States
The French journals assume that Lord Cowley's
mission to Vienna has had nothing to do with the
Congress, and they credit Russia with the PROPOSE
ton.
The London Star believes that Lord Malmesburv
has been appointed to represent England in the
Congress.
Prince Napoleon had personally insisted upon the
admission of Piedmont into the Congress, and had
represented to the Emperor that in the event of
Piedmont not being admitted Count Cavour would
resign. The Prince previously announced his ad-
missed into the Congress, but in that event admis-
sion could not be refused to Tuscany, the Papal
Government, and the Duchy of Parma, Naples and
Modena being naturally excluded. Naples on &C
count of the interruption of her international rea
tions and Modena because it has never recognized
the Imperial Government
The Patric this evening states that the Cabinets
OF London and st. Petersburg have agreed to the
proposal of France to admit Piedmont, and there is
hope that the Cabinet of Berlin may also consent,
in which event Austria cannot resist the wish of
the great powers.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The Parliamentary proceedings on the 23d were
unimportant.
| On the oath in the House of Commons the debate
was continued on the reform question, the House
being crowded to excess, while the excitement out
side was undiminished. Speeches in opposition to
the government bill were made by Miluex A. Glib
son, Bernal Osborne, Mr.. Walpoe, Mr.. Bright &C..
while it was supported by Messrs. Adderly, B. Hope
and others. The debate was further adjourned.
On the 18th in the House of Lords the Earl of
Peterborough called attention to the state of the
| Indian finances.
The Earl of Derby admitted that the aspect of In
dian finances was very gloomy. He explained the
| mode by which the Governor General proposed to
meet the difficulties, viz: by five per cent. loan,
| by slightly increasing the duty imports, BY a
| stamp duty, and by duty on home grown tobacco.
In addition to these efforts in India Her Majesty's
Government would this session have to ask Parlia-
| ment for power to increase the already proposed
loan of millions to ten millions, and perhaps
| to twelve millions sterling.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Owen Stanley
| gave notice that, in the event of the Reform Bill
| being rejected on the second reading, he should
mo yea resolution that the measure of the Govern
ment having failed to give satisfaction, the
Government was no longer entitled to the confidence
| of the House.
| The debate on the Reform Bill was resumed
Mr.. Cardwell and Lord Palmerston spoke in favor
Of Lord John Russel's resolutions. The latter en-
tirely repudiated all factious motives and declared
| that Lord John Russells resolutions must not be
| regarded a vote of censure.
| Sir S. Northcote and Mr.. Whiteside defended
| the Government, when the debate was further ad-
| iourned.
The general impression was that the ministers
| were sure of defeat, in a division upon Lord John
| RusselPs amendment to the Reform Bill, and there
were various specuations as to the course they
| WOulu duOpl.
The Times thinks the defeat will be so decided as
to leave for the dissolution of Parliament
and an appeal to the people, and calls upon Lord
| John Russell to have his measure ready.
The trade returns for February show great ac-
