fertile in such indications. l yesterday spoke
to you Of the circular issued by the Piedmont
csc government which is to day mentioned in
several of the Paris papers. Victor Emman-
uel keeps the promise he made to support the
cause of the Central Italians with the great

! rect. He urges the annexation of the Duchies
and Legations although the latter may not be
mentioned, there seems no doubt OF their being

the sketch of the note that has become public,
with considerable energy, and although there
msy not be grounds to believe that he hints
even remotely at what is likely to occur in It.

of affairs obliges us to respect, until we be all

He concludes by saying that the tri-color,
with the old cross of Savoy, shall precede them
in the fresh battles that will forever free Italy
from the stranger. There can hardly be
palmer speaking than this. Garibaldi, on his
side, displays his wonted energy and decision.

of the great sympathy they have obtained, his

and largely responded to. 1t will be the best
way ofreplying to some of the French govern

that collision is very shortly expected, but
accounts differ as to by whom the ball is to be

The SETTLEMENT OF 1TALY-The Paris
correspondent OF the Times, writing on We'd
nesday evening says:-A Congress continues
to be the talk of the day, and people say it
must come, and that if England refuses to
take part in it she will be left aloof, and the
other powers will deliberate without her. For
this scheme there seems as yet to be no better
foundations than the Imagination of politi
clans seeking at any rate an issue from the
present dead lock. Before the Congress, it is
said, the appeal to universal suffrage in Tus-
cany will be made. The party that would re-
store the Archduke, or at any rate obtain a

such anappeal. On the other hand, the Italian
party, both here and in Italy, are unusually con-
tident, and declare that they ask no better
than 10 take the sense of the Italians, but
with the understanding that the wish they shall
then manifest shall be accepted, as bind
ing by Europe. a very prevalent rumour du-
ring the last few days is that the reports made
to the Emperor Napoleon incline him to dis
believe that the manifestations in favor Of an
neXation represent the wishes Of the majority
of the people. 1t has even been asserted that
if the question were put 10 the Tuscans whe
Their they did or did not desire the return of
the Archduke, the reply of the greater num-
Der would be in the affirmative. Now, although
French government, at no very remote date,
manifested a certain shrinking from the hazard
OF such an experiment, subsequent evidence
may have altered its opinion as to the risk !;
and if SO, and since the Italians, on their part,
are willing to accept the trial, there seems no
great improbability of its being, on certain con-
ditons, ultimately made.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says M de Pourtales the Prussian
minister, arrived at Biarritz very shortly after
Lord Cowly. The French Foreign office gives
out that within the last few days Prussia has
been persuaded to separate herself from Eng
fish policy in Italy, and that she is now dis
posed to support France in the efforts of the
latter to settle the question Of the Duchies 1t

which would be a second edition of the Meth
une treaty, which delivered over Portugal
bound hand and foot to England and would be
"ruinous to French commerce." These same
kind friends of Italy say also that if Tuscany
should be annexed to Piedmont, Leghorn will
be utterly sacrificed to Genoa, and they pre-
tend that the Leghorn people have taken the
alarm all at once, and have quite changed their
opinions within the last few days.
THE BUILDERS SrRIKE.-There is no
prospect of an early settlement of the dispute
between the master builders OF London and
their workmen. Although PA men appear to
have "gone in last week, it cannot be doubt
ed that as body, the operatives on strike are
more firmly resolved than ever to abide by
their demand that the declaration shall be
Withdrawn. Mr. Potter and his committee are
now supported in this respect by the masons,
who had formerly held aIoof, and they have
become so bold as to carry the war beyond the
boundaries OF London. The men employed in
the country by London firms have been "cal-
ed off" and "War to the knife" is the cry.
Considerable sums of money continue to reach
the mem headquarters from the country, and
on Monday dividend of As. per man was de-
clared, the number of recipients being
6240. Mr.. Ayrton, M. P. and other gentle
men, have offered to mediate between the
contending parties. On Wednesday, the
Executive Committee of the Central Asso-
citation of master builders held meeting.
There was a full attendance Of members, and
the meeting lasted several hours, but little is
known of their deliberations, and the meeting,
at its rising, stood adjourned for "A week.
From returns furnished by the members of the
association, it appears that nearly 10000 men
in various departments of the building trade,
are now at work under the terms of the decla-
ration within the metropolitan postal district.
