Highly Interesting Details Of Foreign News.
Our foreign files to the l4th inst, by the
Asia, contain some further interesting war
news, which we subjoin:
THE WAR MOVEMENTS.
PROGRESS OF NAPoLEOS-PoPrLAR FEELING, ETC.
The Paris correspondent OF the Morning
Herald, writing on Wednesday, the llth, says:
such a scene as that which took place yes
terday afternoon OH the occasion OF the Empe'
ror's departure, tho present generation OF Pa
risians has never witnessed. The crowds, the
cheering, the patriotic songs, broken by re-
peated cries Of 'Vivc rEmpereur: all gave the
most ~ctfectual contradiction to the reports OF
the war being unpopular with the bulk OF the
people. As for the middle classes-ctst IN"
autre chose but the lower order, who after
all, form the great mass Of the people, appeared
to have taken this opportunity to express their
sympathy for the Emperor and the cause
whirh he Processes TO defend. All progress
along the Rue dc Rivoli, down which the cor
tege moved at = slow pace, was impossible.
The crowd along the footpath was wedged
so closely together that women had to be eX.
treated in . fainting state. The windows Of
the tall houses in the Rue dc Rivoli, and the
very roofs. were black with human beings. The
Emperor was seated in an open carriage with
! the Empress-thc usual escort OF Cent Ciardcs
following and preceding. As it moved out Of the
gates ofthe Carrousal there wasa roar Of voices,
hats were tossed alot in the air, handkerchief
were waved and women cried. The Emperor
looked surprised at the unusual warmth Of his
reception, and well nc might. There was no
display of troops. by the time the corttge had
arrived at the Hotel dc Vile this continued and
unexpected ovation had produced the effect
which such an imposing manifestation must pro-
ducc upon the most inticxiblc. The Emperor or
dcrcd his guards to move out ofthe way, and the
carriage was almost instantly hcmmcd round
by the enthusiastic crowd. am told by an
eyewitness that the stern, unbcnding features
of Louis Napoleon were quivcring with emo
ton, while the Empress was weeping without
attempt at concealment. He put his hands out
of the carriage, and il was a sight indeed TO see
! these rough ourricrs-thesc barricadc makers
of the Rue st. Misunderstanding over and kiss
ing them, and shouting 'Iire FEmpercUr.'-
! When the eortege resumed its march, a band of
workmen stood between the Imperial carriage
and the Cent Gardes, and preceded it all the
rest of the way, singing the Chant dc Depart
and even the 'MarSeillaise,' to the sounds Of
which, with 'Fire FEmpereur!r for Il burden,
the Imperial party alighted, and Napoleon iii.
set forth OH his journey to the army in Italy"
According to hesayings of the French court,
the Emperor intends that his campaign shall
be as rapid and brilliant as that of his uncle
in 1896. lie intends TO date his dispatches
from Milan by the end Of the present month,
or the beginning of June at the latest.
His Majesty's military household is organized
on rather a grand scale. His suite of aids.de.
camp, ordinance officers, secretaries, &C., is
more numerous than the most luxurious Of
commanders have been ia the habit Of allowing
themselves. He has taken along for his body
guard l40 Of the Cent Gardes-certainly the
handsomest body Of men in Europe; he has
sent on 200 horses for his own use, and his
kitchen and wine-ccllar are mounted oil the
most extensive scale.
LOUIS SAPoLEoS's RECEPTION AT GENOA.
The Emperor, on reaching Genoa, landed at
the inner port, Darcena, and proceeded direct
to the royal palace, from the balcony of which
he presented himself to the assembled populace,
who greeted him with enthusiastic plaudits
and acclamat;ons.
The port was full of ornamcntcd small boats,
crowded with spectators, and OH shore the city
presented the appearance Of a .fttc. A large
structure covered with flags, a symbolical re-
presentation Of the French and Sandman ALI
ance, was erected at the landing-place. Flow
crs were cast before the Emperor by the popu-
lace during his progress.
The Emperor held review Of some old sol.
dicrs in the courtyard Of the royal palace. and
in the evening he went to the theatre, where
his reception was most enthusiastic. He was
accompanied By Prince Napoleon and Prince
Carignano.
TIE EMPEROR To TiiH ARMY OF ifALf.
The following order of the day has been is
sued by Napoleon to the army of Italy:
SOLDIERS: | come to place myself at your
head to conduct YOU to the combat. We are
about to second the struggles of a people now
indicating its independence and to rescue it
from foreign oppression. This is n sacred
cause which has the sympathics ofthe civilized
world. ! need not stimulate your ardor- eve
nv step will remind you Of a victory. In the
| Via Sacra of ancient Rome inscriptions were
chisselled upon the marble reminding the pco-
pie Of their exalted deeds; it is the same to-
day. In passing Mordovi, Marengo, Lodi.
| Castialione, Arcolc and Rivoli, you will. in the
midst of those glorious rccollections. be march

strict discipline which is the honor OF the
! army; there forget it not. There are no other
enemies than those who fight against you in
battle. Remain compact and abandon not
YOUR ranks to hasten forward. Beware Of too
great enthusiasm, which is the only thing |
fear. The new drmes dc precision are dan
gcrous only at a distance; they will not pre-
vent the bayonet from being what it has hitherto
been, the terrible weapon OF the French in.

to the other the following words OF happy al-
curry rc-echo-'The new army of Italy will be
worthy of her elder sister. NAPOLEON.

MOVEMENTS or TIE ARAIrs.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times writes on the 18th instant
The movements of the Austrians look as if
a retreat were contemplated; some, however,
think that they are only choosing their ground
for the battle which they may not be able to
decline even if they would. Tuesday next was
the day looked forward to as the one for the
first serious conflict; but, from the hot haste
with which the Emperor traverscd France and
reached Genoa, it is inferred that news Of i'm
p~ortancc may reach us even earlier.
The French force now in Piedmont is very
large. Up to Friday, the 9th of May, 81, 900
men from France and Algeria were conveyed
to Genoa by the imperial navy; $4,000 by the
Messagcrics; 5000 by the Marie Stuart trans
port, hired for the occasion and from 90, 900
to 81, 900 by land. A dispatch received the
day before yesterday fixed the total number
there ut 14O, 600. The Picdmontcse count
so, 900 regular troops and $4,000 Volunteers
From this total one.fourth is, | believe, the
usual average deducted for contingencies or
casualties. This is applicable to both sides,
and even then a formidable number still re-
mains for mutual slaughter in the circumscrib.
ed battle field in the plains of Piedmont, and
on which Austrian and French bishops are
commanded to invoke the Divine blessing! 1t
is said that the cavalry Of the French is not
yet complete, and that a good deal remains to
