England shall not oppose the entrance of the Sar-
| dinian troops. In regard to this NJ. Thouvenel
says:
1--WE regard ourselves as bound by previous nego-
tiations with Austria, and we could not to-day, in
the presence of the stpulations of Villa Franco,
pledge ourselves in a formal manner"
The Paris Bourse without much huctua-
ton. Renes on the 10th instant closed quietly at

The Paris correspondent of the Times says the
news OF the fGencn army IN Italy having received
orders to move on first notice, had been confirmed.

Pope's territory, as to the necessity of occupying

reservation.
