at the bureau of the officers of their Majes-
ties, inquired if ii was not there that was to
/ be found the Secretary of her Majesty, the
Empress. On receiving an affirmative reply
she stepped out of the ranks, leading by the
hand little girl Of six or eight years Of
age, and entering the bureau, exclaimed,
Gentlemen, leave you my child Conduct
her TO the Empress, | know she viii take
! good care of her till return from Austrial y
Thus the mother left her child happy in the
thought that she would be well taken care
of during her absence. She was not mis-
: taken, for rs soon as her Majesty was in
1 formed of the circumstance, she sent for the
child, and at once gave orders that she
should be well taken care of till her mother
comes back from the war. e5iE 55
Captain Jerome Bonaparte, who lately
returned to France from visit TO his par
ents at Baltimore, has been placed in the
most dangerous service in the army. He
will command in the Chasseurs Antique,
body oflight cavalry, every man of which
is mounted on an Arab stallion of great
speed and endurance. This body is divided
up and thrown forward in advance of the
army, in scouting parties, and employed in
all dangerous and rapid reconnoisances. The
Captain, on arriving at Paris, ten days ago,
left Immediately for Algiers, to join his COM
pany, from whence he will most probably
land at Genoa on Sandman territory, which
is to be- on account Of its proximity to Tou-
Ion and Marseilles, the future base Of opera
tions of the French army.
have been told that Major Kearney, of
New York, has entered the staff Of one of
the French Generals of Division, as vol
unteer. Major Kearney, it will be remem-
bered, distinguished himself in the Mexican
war, in which he commanded volunteer
cavalry company, raised and equipped at
his own expense. ..r
Gen. Bourbaki, the. youngest General Of
Division in the French army, and perhaps
the most promising, will have the honor Of
passing first into Italian territory, with the
Army of the Alpsl He will command un-
der Marshal Canrobert, but il is thong that
he will have crossed the line with forty or
fifty thousand men before the Marshals ar
rival.
On the other hand, we have just learned
that portion of the terrible army of Gen.
Yussuf, the Agerine sharp shooters, have
already arrived at Genoa, and taken the
railway TO Turin. This corps is composed
of native Africans, and are reputed set of
very devils, to whom the Zouaves are gen.
tlemanly soldiers. Gen. Yussuf, their COM
mander, is also native Bedouin. In the
town Of Algiers, on their way to Genoa,
they broke loose from all command, attack
ed the jew quarter, carried the barricades
these latter had been obliged to build in the
streets for their protection, and committed
all sorts of outrages
To balance these Austria has an army of
10000 Croats body of desperate men, who
are kept in subsection by the promise of
plumber and rapine. These men will he
marched first across the Ticinto into Pied
montese territory.
Then again Sardinia has her body Of Corps
Francs, commanded by Garibaldi, body of
violent men, composed of the odds and-ends
of political persecution, a collection of refu-
gees from all countries, inspired by pOliti-
cal hate and desire for vengeance
What, then, is TO be the fate of devoted
Italy, when these bands of desperadoes, like
so many hordes of destroying locUsts, are
turned loose upon the territory. When a
nation, which has been SO often scourged as
Italy, which has had so much bitter expert
ence Of the horrors of war, is willing again
to sacrifice its fresides and its fortunes, it
must be because its grievances are great be-
yond the common measure.
1t may be well to notify Americans desi-
rous of travelling in Italy that, for the pres
ent, the ordinary travel in all that part of Ita-
ly and Austria concerned in the present agi-.
tation is completely stopped, while on the
two great southern lines of France it is just
now interrupted. These lines, however, will
soon be opened to the public again. Trav-
elers in Austria have their passports exam
ined every "a hours
The Austrian Ambassador has not yet left
Paris. Some workmen, in passing his house
last evening, made some demonstration of
disrespect, which induced the Government
TO station at once guard Of soldiers in front
of his house NJ. de Hubner is much respect
ed in the diplomatic corps, but he has a
phrase which has made the laugh of the
corps for the last month. When he is asked
what he thinks of the progress of affairs,
whether there is going to be war, question
which is put to him fifty times day, he in
variably has the same answer: "Well, real
ly, have not been able to arrive at an opin-
ion."
Another speech, said to have been address,
ed by Lord Malmesbury to the Austrian
Ambassador at London, after Austria's final
refusal, and current in the diplomatic corps
at Paris, is the following:
"Sir, you know the English language
/ WELL so open the Dictionary and look for
| the strongest word in it; il will express our
/ sentiments for the conduct of Austria"
