SAVOY AND NICE.
When Louis Napoleon called upon Sardinia
for q, 900 mon to aid in the Crimcan war, he
offered in exchange the eventual support Of
France in case Of war between that Power and
Austria, witiethe understanding that the cscut-
cheon Of Savoy, on the three-colored flag, should

We have seen how he kept his word to Sardinia,
after the battle Of SolfcrnD. In all this Louis

whose squads Of beggars assail and annoy the
traveller for miles long, and whose chimney
| sweepers and hurdy gurdy players are met all
over France and Italy, has population Of about
5000 souls, brave and hardy, but has no trade,
| no manufactures. But little grain is cultivated
in the narrow valleys, oat bread being used by
country folks; their chief occupation the raising
Of stock. Chaabery and Anneey are the only
places worth noticing. On entering Chambcry
the traveller remarks the only monument there,
erected to Count De Bogne, after his return from
India. The Generals bust in bronze is sup
ported by elephants busts Of the same metal,
one on each corner De Boigne street is the
only one worth seeing. 1t Is from this place that

made general, and was shot by Louis XVIIT.
A thing worthy Of note is small but beautiful
Lake at the top of Mount Gems, which supplies
good trout to the stopper to compensate for the
dirtiness of the inn. The annexation of that
country to France, though lessencd by the Mar
! tigny Valley to be ceded to Switzerland, would
90. only afford France strategic point on that
side, but would lay both Switzerland and Pied
mont open to French invasion, and give France
| a powerful influence in both countries. Sardinia,
being vulnerable in her new acquired limits on
the Mincio, would have the Aosta valley under
the French guns. There is no party favorable
to France there, except few Jesuits headed hy

Nice is a beautiful city Of about &C, 900 indus
trious, thrifty and brave inhabitants, whose mild
and salubrious climate on the Mediterranean
attracts great many tourists and inyaliJs from
all nations on the globe, during winter. Il has
1 good hsrbor, and the old castle and Aontalban
fortrcsses which dominate tire sea az well as the
surrounding country, are impregnable Villa
Franca, small town. two miles east, commands
a fine anchorage for large vessels. The popula-
ton of this country reaches 2Oe,eoO people
Nice is the birthplace of General Garibaldi, and
it is in Nice that Barbarossa was beaten by the
courage of a washerwoman named Catharinc
| Segurana, who, elevating herself above her SEX,
like Joan Of Arc, recalled the fugitive defenders
Of Nice, seized Gag from the enemy, and with
| it headed them to victory. The insidions Aris-
tocracy have ever prevented raising monument
to her memory there. Here the working classes

D'Oresti, Re Rohioni and Soissi, and the com
