She left Southampton on the 22d of Maren, and brings Maree days later newsthan that received by the Persia. ‘The advices are of a more pacific character. The Lon- don Times of the 2ist of March contains the following in Msoity article:— The announcement in the correspondence from Paris that the Emperor, having been informed of the ultimate resolutions of Austria, desires to recede by diplomatic help from his aggreesive attitude, gave a general impulse te prices, which would probably have been still greater but for the question as to the way in which Sardinia is Hxely to submit to her disappointment. Should she be @etermined not to tolerate ber desertion she bas the power Btany moment to upset the best efforts of the peace- makers; while, on the other hand, supposing her to re- meio quiet, the inference will be unavoidabie that she has been calmed by a promise that the change, of course, wilt be merely temporary, until some new and less trans- parent pretext for war can be manufactured. Hence, ‘watil ome actual reduction of armaments is witnessed, the public will not be drawn into any unhesitating mani- festation of confidence. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Times says:— Matters are looking brighter; both Austria and France more inclined towards a pacific solution of the pre- sent difficulty than previous to Lord Cowley’s mission to Vienna. It is certain that the force which Austria now bas in Lombardy is more imposing than what people ge- Rerally thoughi, though it was known to be great; and ‘that, in case of @ hostile move on the part of France, she would withdraw her forces from the other parts of the empire, and pour them all into Lombardy. The Vienna correspondent of the Lendon 7imes siys.— Ur der all circumstances, as regards Italy the danger is ing eff for the present. Itisa great point that the ror Napoleon seems well disposed, and so loug as he Pemains £0 he bas a right to be judged favorably. The London Herald received the following from Paris:— The Five Powers have agreed to a Congress, but the basis wad the extent of the discussions are not decilled vpon. It wetll Le held in a neutral city, and the Hague is mentioned as fhe place. ‘The London Times has the following from Vienna:— Viewna, March 19, 1859. ‘Within the last few hours things have assumed a mach more favorable appearance. Both France and Anatria @ieplay a very covciliatory spirit. It is stated that there B to be a Congress in some neutral piace. A deepatch from Vienna, dated on the 20th ult., zays:— ‘The Oxt Deutche Post warns the public not to place too gmuch confidence in peaceful reports, acd says that it is ‘very coubtful whether a congresé of European Powers will fee convoked. ‘The Imperial Law Gazette of the 19th of March contains @ decree prohibiting the exportation of arms, gunpowder aad sulphur to the Italian States. ‘The London Herald says:— It is asserted that France intends to protest against the @onstraction of fortifications by the Austriaas in Piacenza. According to advices from Rome to the 17th ult., Gene- val Grammont has again reccived a notefrom Carding) An- tenelli, requesting the immediate evacuation of the States ‘of the Chorch by the French troops. ‘The London News observes:—The last Austrian circular is said to have been written throughout by Prince Met- ternich. J. Ghika, Prince of Samos, has been appointed Minister ‘ef the Interior of Moldavia. The Neapolitan police have been warned that cases of ‘exploeive materials and fulminating powder, concealed ander layers of tobacco, have been sent from Genoa, and ‘are en route to Naples. A circular has been sent from the beads of the Custom House to their agents, enjoining the ‘most strict attention and examination of everything ar- whvimg from Genoa. The letter is in manuscript, and mtrictly confidential. A \arge meeting of the workingmen of London was held in Hyde Park, for the purpose of opposing the Go- vernment Reform bill. . Adout £12,000 of bar gold was taken from the Bank of Bagiand on Saturday, March 19, for the Continent. ‘In the English House of Commons, on March 21, on the order for the second reading of the Representation of the People bill, made by the Chaucellor of the Exchoquer, Lord J. Russell moved as an amendment, a reaolution:— ‘That it is neither just nor politic to interfere, in the man- “mer proposed in this bill, with the freehold franchise as hitherto exercised in the counties io England and Wales; and that no readjustment of the franchise will satisfy his House or the country which does not provide for a extension of the suffrage in cities and boroughs ia contemplated in the present measure. After much discussion, the debate was adjourned till ‘Merch 22. In the House of Commons on the 2ist of March, Major Bawards begged to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the announcement he made last weesion, that the Peruvian government had arranged that ‘the price of guano should be uniform here and in the ‘States, had been justified by the result, and if not, what steps her Majesty’s governinent proposed to take? i reply Mr. S. Fitzgerald said that the only informa- fen her Majesty’s government possessed was derived fom the public journalz—no official communication hay- fing yet been made to them on the subject. If such a dif- ference in the price of guano as was stated to exist in Eng- Jand and America were perpetuated, it would be the duty ‘@f the government to bring the matter seriously under the wonsideration of the Peruvian government. ‘The Farl of Devon died in England on the 19th ultimo, im his cighty-second year. The late Peer was the 10th Earl, the title having been dormant from the death, in 1856, of Rdmund, son of Henry, the“attainted Marquis of Exeter, in whose behalf the Earldom of Devon had been revived in 1563, till the 15th of March, 1831, when it was ‘adjudged by the House of Lords to William, third Viscount ‘Gourtenay, cousin of the deceased Earl, who succeeded to ‘the ancient title on his demise in 1835. ‘The Paris Galignani of the 20th of March observes:— General Walker’s last speculation—namely, his conver- saroog feelings of tramps in toe religious journals, ren fee! jum| in religious journals. Fi Univers seems half ashamod tone cas, ‘and offers the following advice to the filibuster:—Let Wil.

A Berlin correspondent intimates the probability of an early abdication on the part of the King of Prussia. Itis ‘supposed that a political amnesty, prepared for publication ‘at the christening of the infant Prince, will be published en the accession of Wilhelm 1, the future title of the Prince Regent. The Prince and Prinoces Frederick Wil- ‘Mam will be styled Crown Prince and Princess. ‘Reports having been made that the Turkish government ‘was preparing formidable armaments, the Turkish Minis- ter in Paris has given an assurance that the Divan had merely organized two camps of observation of 5,000 men each, one at Sophia and the other at Shumla, in Bulgaria. ‘There has come off before the civil tribunal of Paris ‘trial which is strictly Suppressed there, as Napoleon III. 4a, in point of fact, the defendant, Ty, 1851 he sought to alse money in London by the issue of ‘crip based on the Feoovery of Queen Hortense, his mother's Property, con- Macated in 1815.

They brought ‘their action to recover the money—tho tribunal decreed ** that Louis Napoleon in London could not give away what ‘he had not;”’ and that “ by a decree of the 2st January, 1862, the Bonaparte family had rendunced all claims of ‘any family inheritance whatever.” Plaintiffs nonauited.

Proposed Peace Congress to Settle the Italian Question—Efforts to Preserve Peace. [From the London News, March 22.) On what is called the Italian question, go far as it con- cerns Italy herself, the feeling of Englishmen is repre-* sented characteristically and seasonably enough by the reception ofthe Neapolitan exiles; but when the personal question of Italian wrong and sufferings assumes the shape of a naticnal wrong, demanding a national vindica- tion, sentiment withdraws’ and policy takes its place. Italy were strong enough or united enough to shake off the yoke of the stranger without foreign aid, not a voice among us bot would cry God speed, and not a heart but would echo the acclamation; but it is when the sacred caure of Italian independence seema to be made the stalking horse of irresponsible ambition, and the cloak of res'less conspiracy, that the iastinct of self preservation imperiously demands that the fire be put out even at the cost of everybody's comfort but our own, * * It * ‘The announcement of a Congress before instead of after ag it was pre- gasping anxieties of the last few weeks. Just when the matches were lighted, and even the frontier bridges mined, some little cherub t) tg up aloft “peeps ont of a cloud and whispers ‘‘Congrets;’ and ttraightway all the ‘world forgets iis fears and goes to sleep again. We have perbaps been over-cautious in declining to be reassured 80 casily as certain of our cotemporarics on many former occasions; but we have no desire or disposition to accept the rumored intervention of diplomacy with a grudging or ekeptical satisfaction. At the same time, it is our duty to warn the public against precipitate and extreme conclusions Nothing can weil be more reassuring than the mere prospect of a diploma- tic eettlement of a care of war; nothing, we must add, can well be more beset with difficulties and uncertainties than the operation of euch a settlement. The sound of a Congress js intolerably familiar to the ears of the present as of the last generation. Is it a weicome and a cheering sound? Let Vienna, Verona, Laybach aod Paris answer. In tne preeent instance we are told that the venue is to bo changed; the representatives of Europe are getting tired of M. Walewski's green table, and ,even the cheerful cti- mate of London or the Hague would be preferred to all the gaicties of the French capital. If a thoroughly neu- tral situation be desirable, Geneva or the Hague may fair- ly claim a preference. Distance lends enchantment toa British plenipotentiary; but there is a reasonable appre- hension that if the Congress should sit in London, our Malmeabury would reserve his “immortal truths” until the moment for arresting irreparable mischief had gone by. On the other hand, we should like the representative of England in the European Council to breathe the free and wholesome air of his native country while he was assitting at the vivisection of Italy. The site of the Oon- gress, however, ig not the oaly or the chief consideration. How /s it to be composed, and what will it discuss, are the questions alae everybody r} aking. * * * ‘Wo find it difficult to treat seriously the loose assertion of aforeign journal, that Italy is to be entirety unrepre- gented at the Congrees, and that Sardinia, whose exposi- tion of Italian wrongs wae so heartily supported by France and Engiand at the Congress of Paris in 1856, is to be ab- gent from deliberations in which Austria will constitute herself at once plainwif and defendant in her own cause. France, it is true, would bold the brief of M. de Cavour; but is it wise ou the part of England, justly jealous of the presence of French imperial bayonets in Italy, to resign the defence of Italian li+erties to the care of French impe- rial diplomacy? Is it just that the great Powers should sit to experimentalise upon Italy as im corpore vili? Nevertheless, Italy, we believe, cannot be the loser Pa a Congress, be its issues what they may. She will bave a friendly and pow- majority among its members. If France ig her champion, Ruseia ia certainly not disposed to be- friend her enemies; and Prussia has no intereat in com- mon with the House of Hapsburg beyond the Alp3; whilat land, we may presume to hope, is not the England of Coleen a Ca upon the Italian question has the contact this jal advantage: it removes the cause from cman of armed Napoleonism, and permits the sym- 4 of England to regard it as their own by nature and . But we should be deceiving our readers if we pre- tended to look to the Congress for a |, Or even a ‘ul solution of the difficulties which are summed up in the domi- Ri canara reaeneed cares to the Tiber, a1 Tom v ines. Until we are assured that the basis of the deliberations of the Congrees is to be Austrian concession, we dare not Bay, we cannot feel, that war adjourned is peace secured. ‘rom the London Times, March 21.) Weare happy to state that a Powers will meet either sideration the state of Ialy and the complication to which it has led. Although we may all have become somewhat tired of Congresses, yet there is no doubt that this solu- tion is the best under the circumstances—in fact, the only one, considering how far each of the two sovereigns prin- cipally concerned has committed himself, and how much a retreat would detract from the pretensions of either. The recent conduct of the French and Sardinian Courts is not calculated to insure a happier fortune for Italy, but we trust that, now the settlement of that unhappy country has been committed to Europe, the great Powers, and es- ay 4 land and Prussia, will make their voices heard favor of ge and good government. France and Austria have @ Congress not the points only to decide fe every excuge for an aggression on the part of Fr: A Btated bis intentions respecting Itaty fully and frankly. He declares, what we can well believe, that he has not ‘end never bas bad any design of attacking Piedmont, ‘The aggressive attitude has been throughout on the side of the woaker State, encouraged by the of Freuch as- sistance; and the alleged designs of Anstria have been a mere pretext to cover armaments intended for an invasion of Lombardy.

It is # strange thing thata man who has geen #0 much of political life, who has passed years in watehing the temper of nations and the etresgth of governments, should fail into mistakes. which beve shattered the imperial reputation for jadg- ment and foresight, The poesession of absoiute power, the flatieries of too obedient ministers, and, if we must tay it, the deference of weak and undignified statesmen abroad, seem to have ht the Eimperor to believe that no Power would resist his threats if backed by a de- movstration of force. Lookimg back on the pet by the light of the present, we perceive how settled has been tho determination tostrike a blow in Europe which should be aberitage of gory teas new dynasty. With this object the alliance with England was kept up jst sufliciently to retain Engleb goverpments under the imperial influence, while by petty slights, by demonstrations of military and aval strength, and @ general assumption of supe- riority, the world was allowed to know that this coun- wy would in no way check the imperial inclinations, whatever they might be. Thinking little of our gov- ernment, the Emperor, however, did not scorn the influ ence of English opmton; and it is evident that be counte! on baving the whole liberal party on his side in a war with Austria, The unanimity oft the House of Commons on the first night of the session showed how baseless was this presumption, , he seems to have been totally ed for the spirit which Austria has displayed, sympathy which it has excited in Germavy. A war io I\aly was, according to the imperial notions, an eary war, with en dy sluggish and now crippled and bankrupt State; some 60,000 Austrians would be soon Swept from Lombardy by an advancing French army, supported by ube Piedmontese, and by the rebellion which it would be easy to organize on all sides of the retreating No one would befriend such a Power, and if ne it would come thing in the face of ap im) ench ariny, But events bave turned out very differently; and nothing now rema'ns but to desist from immediate pretensions, or to afiack the combined States of Central Kurope, strong in nombers, animated by a eenge of the justice of their cause, and by the freely rendered sympathy of all Eu- rope. A ree eaies tbe Emperor Napoleon will not be deat ti of prudence, He must seo that the 'y domination in Europe has gone by, The which the late Czar learned at the cost of re- putation and life ts now being given to his imitator in France. It is for the French kmperor to decide whether he wiil learn it at @ less cost than Nicholas, We trust that this will be eo, and that he will treasure it up for modlita, tion during the rest of bis reign, and bequeath it as a val- uable guidance for his seccessors. The French people, happily, do not desire the war; €o that, in yiciding to his ‘wieer counsellors, the’Emperor will disappoint only tho small number in whom his own acts have raised anticipa- tiops which he cannot gratify. There is one subject, however, which wo cannot omit to notice. No settlement of this question can be considered as satisfactory while France and Germany are covered with armies which threaten continually the disturbance of peace. How can men return to their usval work; how can cnterprise take courage; how can real political improvement begin in any coun- try, as jong as it is known that vast armies are in exis- tence which a court intrigue, or a passage of words be- tween two Ministers in a drawing room, may set in mp- tion to interrupt and destroy the works of peace? France, by immoderate armaments,has placed Europe in a stats of deep alarm. Every one who hears the continnal dis. cussiope concerning the pumber and equipment of troops, the size of line-of-battle ships, and the newly invented gune, rifles, or shell, must foel that the attention of Europe is far more fixed on matters relating to war than was the cage a few years since. ‘The gains of trade are caten up by taxes; the progress of education is imnpeded by the sacrifices necesgary to keep up forces by land and sea, and itis only the unremitting industry of multitudes which enables the nations to bear the iniolerable burdens impored on them. he Hnperor aleme has been the cause of the evil, and we trust tut the good sense which has actuated the French in this long dispute will urge them to demand a Further decrease in their needless and provoking armaments. {Paris (March 19) correspondence of Londoa Herald.) An impression prevails to-day that a peaceful solution of the Italian question is not to be entirely despaired of. It is said tbat M. de Buol bas published another circular, ex- pressing the willingners of the Austrian government to submit al) the points in which diflicuitics have arisen be- tween France and itself to the decision of a Congress. The article of the Morning Herald of yesterday, and the fact of a telegraphic despatch from London baving announced arise of 4g in consols, have strengthened the bopes of pence, the fulfilment of which is so ardently desired. In the opinion, bowever, of all well informed people, the best security against a war is the uvaoimity with which all clas¢es in France oppose it. The French government have collected an army in the South; Piedmont bas marched all its regular forces, swelled by volunteer and distant garri- fons, and reseryes raked up from every corner of the kingdom, to the froptiers, afew miles beyond which the Austriaca are accumulating a force sufficiently large to swallow up Sardinia and ite army at one mouthfal. But yullic opinion tn France and England has s0 unmistakeahly ‘Pronounced against going to war on 40 litle a pretext as the Jiatian question, thet in some quarters we!l informed peo- ple begin to think that, notwithstanding all those prepara-. tions, the government will shrink from disregarding the ‘veto 60 unavimously expressed.

[Paris (March 20) correspondence of London News. ] T suspect there will turn out to be some very great mis- take in the rumors about a Congress, which appear to have found some credit in London on Saturday evening. The Memorial Diplomatique, whore sources of tnforma- tion are Austrian, and whose articies are always written witb a strong bias in favor of peace, does not venture to say more on the subject than that “Austria is disposed to submit the political situation of Italy to the examination of the Great Powers forming the European Areopigus, but’’—and there is immenee virtue in this bat—‘ Austria will only consent to the Congress on condtion that no reso- lution to be taken by it shall in any way infringe the treaties of 1816, or those special treaties which are their natural corollaries, or the rights inherent to the independent sovereignty of each State.”’ Fe | these rights the Vieana correspondent of the Memorial Diplomatique ranks most especially that of making alliaaces with other States. By way of proving that this right is “of the essence’ of the independent sovereignty of every government, it is remarked that even the members of the German Confederation have provided for the eeparate exercise of this sovereign right by their fede- rative constitution, signed at Vienna, June &, 1815. Art. 11 of this constitution rays:—“The members of tho Confe- deration, while reserving to themselves the right to form alliances, agree, however, not to contract any engage- ment contrary to the safety of the Confederation, or of the individual States of which it is composed.” It is therefore argued at Vienna that, independently of the rights guaranteed to Au-tria ig b treaties of 1815, she is fully entitled by the common law of nations to insist upon the validity of her separate treaties with the Italian States; and that, if it be permissible for France to make ‘an alliance with Piedmont, it is impossible that Austria can waive a similar right. On the same authority it is stated that the English Cabinet, on being referred to by Lord Cowley through the telegraph, no difficulty in admittmg that Austria make the above reserves. “Such,” says the Aemo- rial Diplomatique,‘‘is the starting Ee% the negotia- tions now going on to pave the way fora reciprocal and preliminary understanding between France and Austria, through the intervention of England.”’ All this is ex- tremely unlike the London news of yesterday, that*‘there is no cease any probability of war.” To propose & con. ‘ees under the conditions above stated is only to ask the rench Emperor—in other words, to give way entirely; and I repeat what I asserted yesterday, that so far from belog prepares to recede, he is more determined thanever to go forward. ‘ A statement in the Indépendance that ‘‘Eng- land, Pruseia ‘und Russia, after having settled the bases of & covgress on the Italian question, have called upon Aus. tria and France to adhere to them, under the » the case of Austria, of her being left isolated, and in the case of France of a coalition being formed against her.” I feel very sure—without going so far a8 lieve in that intimate alliance between and sanguine of at 7 its mode s Russia which some of the more the war party talk of—that Russia would present use any such peremptory and towards France as the /h supposes. of Ruesia isto look on and watch the course of uptil she sees an ‘tunity of acting for her own ad- vantage. The idea of her prepounding any sort of ultima- tum either to France or Austria in the present conjuncture, aypears lo me eminently absurd. It is remarked by the Correspondance Bulléer that there is nothing serious in the concessions assumed to have been made by Austria, and that the only result they lead to is to obtain a confirmation by a European congress of ‘The Presse, which it is important to remark is nowa pence journal, says of the nows given by the dance, which I bave ventured to question:—' au: thorizes us to believe in the existence of any inti- mate understanding between the governments of Prussia, England and ; for, as far as there bas been no step taken, 60 far as known, from the probability of any such arrangement can be inferred.” LORD COWLEY’S INTERVIEW WITH COUNT BUOL IN ‘VIENNA.

Lord Cowley al- leged that the improvement of the internal of the Roman, as of the other States of Italy, would present the best guarantee for future tranquillity, Count Buol, while sharing this opinion, maintained that the i bie conditions of progress of this kind would be the ces- ation of the provocations of Piedmontese policy, andthe that England shared this opinion is found in the des- ich recently comm to M. Cavour on the part of the English Cabinet, Parsing next to the particular treatios ext between Austria end the divers Italian States, Lord Cowley did oot dispute the right of the Vienna Cabinet to decline all dis- cossion of the principle of the validity and thone treaties, He even admitted that ina point of view the treaties with Tascany, Parma amd Modena might be more than useful at the moment M. Cavour sought to shelter bimself under the wyisof France. ‘It ie not merely a respite which is wanting,” observed Moniteur in its article of the 5th, “it is security for the fa- ture.’ Relying on this declaration, Count Buol and Lord Cowley could pot but ask themselves where could this coon hy found, Mong ae Provocations of Piedmont be- fore Could Cabinet of Turin, sheltering tinder the good wil of France, continu that Ten th ‘imposes on Mm every one to many sacrifiges: Or #ball France use its right acquired by ite ne alliance, to bring back the government of mont to more prudent inciples?

POSITION OF AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA AND ENGLAND IN A CONGRESS. [Paris (March 18) correspondence of London Star. The incressed apprehensions of war, which during the week prevailed on the Paris Bourse, were entirely owing to the rumors of an impending movement of troops to- wards the south, Nothing hitherto bas confirmed these rumore. On Wednesday it had become positively known io Paris tbat the Imperial government did not look upon the overtures, transmitted by Lord Cowley, o8 altogether hopelees, and the funds raiced in consequence, Concerning these over- tures, it was always probable tbat Austria, aga last means to svoid war, would mot clject to the convocation of a European Conference at London, to examine into the le gality of the four special treaties which the onsiders as bulwarks of her power in Italy. We may now say that this ip alreedy more than a mere probability; it is a confessed fact. Tit, it must be added, that the Austrian govern- ment has expresrly guarded itself againet avy binding power of the resolutions of this conference, the only ob ject of which, in the eyes of Austria, is to de that of bringing the dispute between Austria, on one sido, and Sarcinia and France on the other, ofiiciatly before the fo rum of Europe, to avoid such dangers as might arise from mere misunderstandings. It is farther said, that Great Britain and Prursia conjointiy consider this, if not z GF @ satisfactory proposition, at jeast os a basis ow whicl: further negotiations, with the objectof preventing war. may be carried on AUSTRIA’S DEFENCE OF HER LOMBARDO-VENETIAN .

Not only have the usages and the Jan- gage of the country been rigorously respected in pablic instroction, but the administration is almost exclusively in the hands of Italians. If, furthermore, the genera! or- ganization of the country be regarded, a great part of cnr- rent affairs will be found administered by elective fave: tionaries; the other governors established in the country possees not only most administrative attributions, bat re. ceive their orders from the geueral government, at the head of which is the Archduke Maximilixa, The Gover nor General unites in his ban‘is all the attributions ofa spe- cial minister of that country; he decides all the affairs of the country, nominates and dismisses functionaries, and porsesree fueh extensive powers that only a small number of affairs which concern the general interéste of the om- pire are submitted to the ministers at Vienna. The situ: tion of the Prince Governor, as brother of the Emoora permits him to act more freely in the country he adminis- tere than otber governors could do, The administration of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom is consequently por- fectly provincial and national. EFFECT OF NAFOLFON’S LAST MANIFESTO IN GERMANY. [Vienna (Maréb 18) correspondence of London Times.) The last Moniteur’s note has produced an extremely bad impression in Southern Germany, but we have not yet heard how it was received in Prussia, The Wiener Zatung bas given the article in extenzo, hut it bas refrained m making any remarks on it. The Oesterreische Zeitung, however, takes the liberty of telling the Afoniteur that it is not worthy ot credit:— Germany has nothing to fear, says the Monileur, and it faid the very fame thing during a period of fifteen years. After the 18th Bromaire the Firat Consul sent a letter to Berlin, in which he eulogized the policy of the Prussian Cabinet, and asked for a bust of Frederick the Great. Tho North of Germany was resolved to prove to the First Con- eul that it could etand alone, and while it was exbibiting its atrergth he crossed the Alps. Soon after Germany lost the Rhenish provinces and the countries watered by the Elbe. Shortly before the battle of Austerlitz was fought Germany was assured by the Moniteur tbat it had nothing tofear. Then, as now, Avatria was called the dietarber of the public peace, and the German Emperor was accused of trying to extend his influence in Germany. The Aoni- teur brought the charge, and people believed it until the fame peper proclaimed the peace of Tilsit. WAR PREPARATIONS IN SARDINIA. [Torin (March 18) correspondence of the London Times.] Preparations here are not neglected. On the contrary, they are carried.to an extent that can be accounted for only by & presumed profound conviction, not to say a complete certainty, on the part of this government, that war is at hand. One daily sees and hears of military m ents, all in the diréction of the frontier. A number of pontoons Were sent off yesterday; three batterics of artillery left this morning.

REPORTED MOVEMENT OF RUSSIAN TROOPS. The Neapolitan Minister for Foreign Affairs received the following intelligence by telegraph on the 11th ult. :— A bundred thousand Russiang are marching towards the Pruth; 120,000 Ruesians are marching towards the frontier of Hungary; 76,000 Austrians are descending into Lombardy to reinforce the army in Italy, and the families of the Austrian officers in Lombardy are advised to with- draw into the fortreeses of Verona and Marghera, OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. {From the Paris Presse, March 18.) England is arauredly a generous nation. A few years ago she maltreated General Haynau, in the name of huma- nity outraged in Hu . To-day she raises a subscrip- tion for the benefit Neapolitan exiles.

ANOTHER ANGLO-AUSTRIAN CONFERENCE. [Vienna (March 15) correspondence of Weser Gazatte.] The English Ambassador, Lord Loftus, had to-day a conference with Count de Buol, and communicated to him a cespatch which he had received from London. We learn that this deepatch related to the question of the Princi- patities, on which our Cabinet and that of St. James are completely agreed. In that respect, Lord Cowley’s mis- sion has bad a favorable result. If we ure woll informed, the Austrian Cabinet, first of all, raised objections to the propositions presented by Lord Cowley, and deciared that it would never consent to a violation of the convention of aris. Bota middle course was devised, and we under- Ftand that the Porte has adhered to the arrangement avreed upon between England and Austria, The three Powers will, it is said, commence by stating the violation of the conyéntion of Paris, and the illegality of the double election of Colonel Couza. They will afterwards make known the conditions ou which they will consent to re- cognige Couza, and it is hoped that the other Powers will adhere to those conditions. Among those conditions, the first is a solemn declaration of the suzerainty of the Poy te. . ‘The St. Petersburg Gazette states that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg appears decided on energetically defeuding in the conference the double election of Colgnel Couza. That jonrpal even propores the admission at the confe- rence of a representative of the united provinces.

The crowd was im- menee, and the enthusiasm very As the train care under the arches of the terminus @ loud outburst of fecling aroge, the echoes of which vibrated again; and the stepping cutof the carriage of these brave men was the signal for renewed applause.

Mr. Hope, Biguor jiopanti, Mr. Marphy, Q. C., Mr. Nicholay, aud other gentlemen, headed{a processsion to the Great Western Hotel, where refreshment was provided for them. The crowd was immense, and the band outside played a number of martial pieces. Mr. Hodge, who has taken @ very active part in the re- ception generally, read the following address of welcome to the exilee:— GENTLEMEN—In the name of our fellow countrymen wo hasten to offer unto you our sincere congratulations on your liberation from the dangeons of the Neapolitan despot, and on your safe arrival on the free shores of England. Our hearts have burned with indignation when reading of the foul and inhuman outrages commited against your per- sons, and with admiration have we heard of the heroic, Manner in which you have borne them. Tae sym; ies of the whole English nation have attend you in your trials and sufferings, and we are confi- dent that there is not a man in these isles who did not rejoice when the news of your arrival reached him. We have watched and do continue to watch, with intense Interest, the course of events in your beautiful and beloved country, We have seen with the highest admi- ration how unquenchabie is the patriotism of her sons, and how indomitable is their determination to become free. We long, therefore, for the time when Italy shall throw off the iron yoke of the foreigner and oppressor. But we desire to see her work out ber freedom by her own hands, and Lot through the assistance of those whoze only object would be their own aggrandisement. Our welcome wo yoo, then, is at once a protest anda promwe. A protest against the wretched faithless governments which prevent the tree developement of your country; a promise that, when the day for your rising shall appoar, it will be hailed in England with general and active sympathy. Accept, gentiemen, both protest and promise from us )n the same epirit in which we offer them, and let the consciousness of serine powerfully helped, through your Bi tinge, the cause of Itaiy,and of having won for your- # the respect of ail lovers of truth and justice, be v consolation here and cleewhere, until the national triceior shall wave in triumph trom the ‘Alps to the Sea,” Signed on behalf of the committee formed for present- ing the above.

Speaking in Italian, he said thoy accepted this demonstration in the name of Italian libery. ey had siways looked upon England as a great and free nation; and if, in her futare destinies, it. shoud ever be in the power of the foreigner to give her assistance, their voice would net be waating in urging upon the Italisn people to recognize the obligations y were under to her. (Clicers.) As free man, he thanked them from the bottom of his heart, and in the name of his compatriots, for the noble gencrosity Fuglishmen had displayed from yes non the exiles had set foot upon British soil. (Cheers. * During these proceedings the crowd outside increased to an enormous extent, and by the time the party were conducted to the doors of the hotel the strects and ap- proaches %0 the station were compietely choked up. The exiles were conducted from the rooms of the hotel te the stops ieading to the street, when they were formally pre- rented to the people. They seemed og haa A attired, but seme of the number looked feeble and in ill bealth. One of them wore a tricolor band across his breast, and the reason of this distinction was explained to be, that the wearer had endured the greatest privations in the cause of liberty, having paered no less than twenty years of his life in a Neepolitan dungeon. No sooner was the first bearded face amongst the exiles recognized than a Jond sbout of welcome rang through the crowd, Hate and handk were waved, and the cheering continued for sever utes.

STORY OF THE VOYAGR OF THE NRAPOLITAN EXILES, From « reported conversation with Signor Raffaele Set- tembrini, the brave and affectionate gon who, at the rink ofnis own liberty, has achieved qith such remarkable adroiteess and resolution the deliverance of his fathor and of bis countrymen, we learn some particulars of the ' affair which have not yet been peblished. It appears this young ollicer, whe atter serviog a short time in Sardinian navy, obtained an appointment on board Prince Aibert, one of the new Galway and American of steom packets, waa indebted to Mesers. Bake, Ads & Co., chief proprietors of the North African Steam Pad Company's vessele, for permission to”go to Cadiz in character of mate of thelr steamer,the Warrior, purpose of seeing whether he could do anything fof father, tince it had beenreported in all the newspapers the Nespolitan government steamers, the Stromboli the Ettore Fieramoska, were expected to bring the prisq ers to the poPt of Cadiz preparatory to their shipment America. Signor Raffuele brini expresses his titude to Messrs. Bake, Adams & Co., as well as] Captain Cooper, the commander of the Warrior, for kind assietance he received from them. His own in’ tion at that time wes simply to endeavor to effect escape of his father inthe parbor of Cadiz, His prec age We do not know, but he looks not more than one two and twenty, and since be had not seen his fath during @ period of ten years’ imprisonment, tho lov! recollections of childhood must baye remained ha addition in bis mind. Whilst the venerated patriot al Senator hag lain immured in the chill dungeon of 3 Stefano, buried in a seagirt rock of the Mediterranean, thot out from the hope and lite of the world under a tence of perpetual incarceratiou, the gallant sou hi den the decksof free Sardinia, or of free Britain, ing but two desires—the first being to liberate his fatn and the second that he one day m'ght be enabled to cd tribute some effagt for the liberation of his country. Wi a noble and characteristic modesty, he will not hear word of praise or compliment upou what he has done, only expresses regret that he wag not able to tind earlier opportunity of contriving his father’s escape fro prison. Accompanied by several To return to our narrative. the officers and crew of the Warrior, aud dressed in i proper uniform, be rowed towards the Stromboli, the Ni Politan frigate, in a boat displaying the British uvionj atite stern; and baving been received with due n honors by the Neapolitan officers, who ordered the gu to preeent arms to him, snpposing that he was au oiflo of our royal navy, he introduced himeelt iv his true nan as the son of the prisoaer, Luigi Settembrini, and be permiesion to have a farewell iuterviow with hia aged qf ther previous to the departure of the latter for tran Jantic shores, The request appeared 0 reasonable, the young man’s official uniform was so imposing, that captain of the frigate Stromboti did cot hesitate to compl] and sent to the other Neapolitan government veesel, Ettore Fieramosca, which lay close by, ordering the pf soner Settembrini to come on board the Stromboli meet bis son, We can imagine the emotions with whid they met upon the deck of the Stromboli, and poured o with all the fervor of the [ialian nature that affect which so many years of torture, lonéliness aq despair had not extingu'shed in the elder man, aq which the vicissitudes of education and enterprise, tn opening of an active career, had not tempted the yeuth forget.

He had hoped to ¥ able to get a boat alongeide the Neapolitan steamer in ty Peay of the night, and help his father to escape o 1e Bide, ‘This was his original design, but so vigilant a watd was kept in both the Neapolitan ships that it imposeible for any boat to approach unobserved. promptly altered his pen Quitting the Engi steamer, which presently left Cadiz without him. but whlist the Neapolitans believed him algo to hat gone—he landed and proceeded to make his arrang ments in the city. He had got an introduction Mr. Benjamin Oliveira, our well known counts man, who received him most kirdly, and rendered hil the greatest service. It was underatood by that time th the American clipper David Stewart was chartered by th Neapolitan government to transpor€the sixty-six priso to New York—a transaction of the illegality of which, sey nothing of itsmeanncas, we apprehend there o be any doubt, seeing that they were not shipped ag passengers, but as convicts or slaves, on board a vessel q the United States, under sentence ot a foreign trib However, there was an honorable Spanish gentleman Cadiz, the Count di Casabrunette, who some in| with the consignees to whom the David Stewart b been cent, and he and Mr. Oliveira, entering into yo Settembrini’s dutiful wish to accompany his father, u their influd&ce to have him taken by Captain Prenti of the David Stewart, as a seataring lad, a native q Cuba, who, having been left at some European po wanted to work his passage over to New York, in orda that be might afterw t to his homo at Hay This was allowed as a favor, since there were no otb passengers taken on board tho American clipper, e: the Neapolitan prisoners themselves, The adventarog outh, disguised in the rough clothes of a common shi y, joined the crew of the clipper, a mixed crew q Yonkees, Irishmen and negroes; he had ove narrow cape from discovery when the captain of the Rttore Fie mosca, who had previously seen him dregsed in an En lish uniform, came on board the David Stewart, and stoo cloee to him, but without recognising him. If he hb been detected when on board Neapolitan frigate, h ‘would assuredly have been claimed as a subject of Kin Bomba, and carried off to pine away and rot in soma a of the notorions horrible caverns whare, loaded irons, and starved with the privation of food and day light, the unhappy victims of that almost incredibld cruelty are doomed to endure a living death. But last the clipper, with her nobie freight of pails and suffering “witnesses to the cause of right an truth, towed by the Neapolitan steamer, 0 out to sea. It would be an error to suppo that, In what was subsequevtly cone to change destination of the vessel, Setiembripi and his comrad had no other object than to spare themselves the fi and logs of time of a yoyage to and fro across the Atlantic, It is true that those who might survive on the arr: of the David Stewart at New York would ha ‘been exempt from personal restraint after their landing, and free to come to Liverpool, or to Havre, or to Genoa, if they could obtain the means of doing 80; but we are tured that some of them were already in so sbattered and exhausted a condition, having been suddenly remove from their Joatbsome ceils, with constitutions enfeebled by tbeir lopg and painful confinement, dnd ex 0 sickness in an ill found vegsel upon a rough and stori sea, that it is probable they could not have been lauded at New York alive. At any rate, the discomtorts and perils of this “middle passage,” and the unoer- tainty of their future fate at a distance from Earope, wer well to be spared; and it wasfor the sake of somethi more than bravado that they determined to avail them- selves of the galiantry of young Settembrini, and to| get to England at once, For the first two days he did his| work with the other seamen, and was treated ag an hand—a stray Cuban, making bis way homo from Spain;| but when the clipper had got two hundred miles to the west of Cape St. Vincent, and the Ettore Fieramosca had’ cast her off and turned about again, Raffaele Settembrint put on his uniform, and walked up to Captain Prentiss ‘With that written protest signed by all the Neapolitans, which has been published.
