The news is important. The question of
the annexation of Savoy to France was the
prominent topic. Sardinia had consented
to the inhabitants of Savoy voting on the
subject.
Lord John Russell had stated in the
House of Commons that Austria and Prus-
STA concurred in the views of England.
Russia had not replied.
The House of Commons had voted an

treaty, the amendments offered thereto by

large majority. .-.. -.... -
1t was reported that since Sardinia re.
jected Napoleons programme for Italy, the
French troops have received orders to be
ready to march at the first notice, and that
the evacuation of Lombardy and return of
the army to France are threatened.
GREAT BRITAIN.-In the House of Lords,
on the 18th, Duke of Newcastle said that
the dispatches laid before Parliament, rela.
tive to the Savoy question, contained the
details Of everything that had taken place.
He admitted, however, that private letters
from Lord Cowley, containing nothing of
moment. had not been published.
Several peers deprecated the practice of
diplomatic correspondence being carried on
by private letters.
In the House of Commons, Lord John
Russell requested Mr.. Kinglake to postpone
his motion protesting against the annexation
of Savoy to France, on the ground that
discussion now would be prejudicial to the
public service.
Mr.. Kinglake consented, but would in
troduce it at subsequent period.
The subject OF allowing France to carry
out the system of emigration from India to
her colonies was brought up and denounced
by Mr.. Cane.
Lord John Russell reiterated his previous
explanation, that the arrangement was
made with view of abolishing the free
emigrant system of France, which practi-
cally revived all the evils of the slave trade,
aud under these circumstances he thought
the new arrangement perfectly justifable.
In the House of Lords debate on italian
affairs took place strict neutrality being
urged by all parties.

The projected annexation of Savoy and
Nice to France continued to attract much
attention. The London Times, while edi,
torially condemning the project and ap.
plauding the firm protest of the government
against it, it repudiates the idea of England
demanding any explanations which might
any day lead to war. The Paris Pays, in
an editorial complaining of the hostility Of
England to annexation, says it would be
unreasonable to suppose that the Emperor
would renounce that which he regards as
the security of one Of the most important
frontiers of France.
1t is stated that since Cavours last dis.
patch relative to Italy, orders have been
sent to the French army to hold itself ready
to march at the first notice, and that the
reply to officers who demanded short fur.
Tough was that the whole army would i'm
mediately evacuate Lombardy and return to
| France.
The Paris correspondence of the London
Times says it was thought likely that ss
soon as universal suffrage in Tuscany de-
clares for annexation to Piedmont, the Sa-
voyards will have French army on the
spot.
The Paris Patrie believes itself in a posi-
ton to say that in the question of Savoy,
Sardinia shows such conciliatory intents as
might be expected from a country which
owes its aggrandizement to France.
| Reports had been current of dissentions
between England and France, relative to
the China mission, but the Paris correspond.
ent of the London Post pronounces them
wholly unfounded.
ITALY.-A long and forcible dispatch by
Count Cavour, replying to the italian pro-
| gramme, pledges Sardinia to abide by the

The Opinione of Turin afirms that in q note
of the I'd of March, relative to Savoy, Ca
YOUR expresses the attachment of the gov
ernment of the King of Sardinia to his
province, but at the same time to the prin-
ciple which he supports in Central Italy.
He declares his intention to interrogate the
| population in manner to be established by
Parliament, reserving besides the questions
Of frontiers and guarantees to be given to
Savoy. Another authority says that Ca
YOUR, in the same note, denies that the in
habitants of Savoy and Nice have any
desire to be annexed to France, but he
suggests that the question be tested by a
vote OF the people, as well as in Tuscany
and the Romagna. -a
