THINGS IN GREAT BRITANNIA change of
Ministry in England is looked to sanguinely
by the French Government; so sanguinely,
indeed, that NJ. Persigny, who is never a man
of half words or DISCUSSES, has given no little
umbrage to the philo-Austran party here by
the language he has held on the subject The
Court is more than ever anti French, and ad-
vantage is sought to be taken of the unguard-
ed expressions of the French Ambassador,
who has been reminded in no very ambiguous
terms, that the wishes of his master are not
exactly the reasons why Her Brittanic Males
ty should at any time change her advisers.
M. Persigny is an able and honest man, but he
made a mistake of similar kind when the
Conspiracy Bill was pending last year. having
been carried away by his vehemence in con,
versation, at reception at Buckingham Pal
ace, into uttering something very like threat
as to the consequence that would ensue if the
bill did not pass, in accents sufficiently loud to
reach the ears of Her Majesty, near whom
he was standing. | am told that Lord Palm
erston himself is fully aware of the embarass-
ment which may be caused by this species
of imprudence, and that he has demonstrated
with the French Envoy against openly taking
part in his favor at the present moment.
Great preparations are making on both sides
for the coming party struggle 1t is admitted
both by the Derbyites and their opponents,
that upon a vote of confidence the division will
be a close one. Great exertions are making
on the side of Government to detach wayerers
from the Liberal ranks. Mr.. Roebuck's
speech, though singularly inconsistent and in
consequential, will have its effect in this way.
His name as an out-and-out Reformcr. whose
integrity and independence have never been
questioned, will furnish an excuse to certain
trimming politicians who are thinking only of
their own interest. | hear likewise that Mr.

Indeed it is curious and striking feature
of the present wonderful state of things in
Piedmont, that you rarely or never find your
self exposed to any exactions on the part of
the people. There seems to be a general con-
sent that it would dishonor the sacred cause of
Italian independence to take advantage of the

may also note here what heard from French
officer the other day, that the few Aus

have been, with one exception Parmesans

Alessandria ever since the 18th of May, when
he came in in the most abject state, all tattered
and begrimmed, under the escort of couple
of infantry men, with fearful story of the
cruelties perpetrated by the Austrans in the
province of Bobbio. He talked the mountain
lingo, and protested to be a farmer on the
banks of the Curone. The Austrians, he said
or rather-as all the Italians are in the habit
OF saying when they wish to prove themselves
particularly good Italians"-the Croats had
come down upon him with requisition for
mules, had taken all his stock, emptied his

himself and his family. A day or two after
they had come back again for more mules, and
there being no more mules to give them,
