Even the London is pertinacity to the Savoy question by the Thun: matter that ly in no way concerns them. don Chronicte calls to the remembrance of the tories that when England unceremoniously took possession of Perim, the French goveroment.made no angry discussions abgut it, and that the government even silenced those French journa's wat seemed inclined to call attention. to the rather unscrupulous acquisition of that jeiand. It really seems as though the tories would do anything—even plunge the two countries iato a war— 80 that they got bac! ywer thereby. They have even sought the aid and countenance of forcigners, but not al- ways with great success. Thus, a few days since, Lord L the English Ambassador at Vie called upon Count de Rechberg and asked him what would be the at- titude of Austria in case Savoy was annexed to France. ‘The Count replied that Austria would act in such a case just as England had acted when Austria ceded Lombardy. Lord Loftus must have been taken rather aback by this unexpected reply. The following despetch, just received; will, I do not coubt, os interest to your readers.

The ceiling ts of trans- lucent stained glass, and above itare the lights, and the effect of this arrapgement ia to light up suiliclently the whole house without any glare. When the usual preliminary business had been com- pleted, a member of the opposition asked Lord John Rus- sell for come additienal information upon the subject of the annexation of Savoy and Nice to co. Here, you know, the Cabinet is directly confronted with the people’s representatives, and sit each evening in the House of Commons ready to answer eny question which may be put to them.

Lord John Russell is a little man, with ahead almost enucely baid, aad a little gray whisker.

He was listen- ed to With great attention, the silence only being broken by a occaajonal “hear,’’ “hear,” from the administra- tion side. When he had finished, come member of the opposition made a few remarks, attacking the doctrine of the right of popular sovereignty, and of the people to decide upon their form of government, as maintained by the English Cabinet in the case of Central Italy, and put the question cirect to Lord Palmersion, why the same doctrme was not good as applied to the Jonian Islands?

On he contrary, all is for the worse. In Italy the-elections for annexation have taken piace, and an immenge majority has pronounced in favor of extending over all the duchies the power of King Victor Emanuel—in other words, for annexation to Piedmont. ‘There are rumors of the removal of the French troops from Central Italy, and many correspondents seem in- clined to doubt that'France will ald the Italians im their impending struggle with Austria. ‘The French troeps are, as we are told, to be withdrawn from Italy and to remain in Savey and Nies during tke elections that are to take place in thoge provinces. as regards their annexation to France. still this is very trae, as farasIcan ascertain. | The French troops are to be remeved to Sarey and Nice, but with no view as te any election that may take place, for the simple reason that ‘Wictor Emancel has signified to the Emperor Napoleon that he will cede to him, without making any conditions, Savoy and Nice. Hence there is ne need of the presence of Ge French troops in these provinces. Bat atthe pre- sem there certainty is an intention of eonding them there. Austria, aiding Reme, will most undoxbtedly;again com. menoce a war that proved 89 disastrous to hor last year. She will take courage from the removal of the Erench troops, and begin ber attack as soon as dey are cut of Staly. Butehe will be counting without Mapoleon III. His troops, although out of Italy, will be on the threshald of that menaced country, aad ata moment's notice the victor of Magenta and Solferizo will again confront the white-coated Croats and Germans whom they have taught to entertain a wholesome dread of their furious onslaught. Austria will, I dare predict, find no Villafranca this ume, and she will as certainly lose Venetia as shat she begins the war. t s ‘The Pope will not improve his position by his intended attack upon the Romagnas. ‘The people are prepared for a moet desperate reais- much more a business of social intercourse than of formal official notes.

The army reform proposed by government is now prett] generally acknowledged to be a complete failure, and ¢h opposition it meets with is so decided that there seeq very little prospect of its being carried out, at least’ in Present form. The people are dissatisfied with it, both account of the additional pecuniary burthens it impo upon them and of the heavy sacrifices th will. be required of them by the protracted of military service; the liberal press is alarm at the changes contemplated in the D system, and serious doubts are entertained by p men whether, after all, the end in view will bo real!y tained, or whether the ministerial nostrum will not aggravate than remove the defects existing in the o zation of the Prussian army. On the other hand, Prince Regent has set his heart upon realizing a proj which has been concocted under his immediate auspjp and if Ministers are unable to carry it through the Seog Chamber, where they have a great majority on all o questions, it is feared they will have to retire trom off and make way for a Cabinet composed of elements, In that case the Second Cham! would certainly be dissolved, and it is improbable that the vast power at the disposal of ment, which would be unscrupulously used by an Boptzenburg or a Klicat-Reetzen administration, woul cure them a majority in the new Legislature sufficient only to pass this measure, but to support them in the liberal policy they may be expected to inaugurate, apprehension of such a catastrophe must eventually, & great effect upon the conduct of the rep é who, what between their desire to strengthen th sition of a Ministry with whom their own int and their very existence are bound up, and unwillingness to countenance a measure which.is Provea of by the whole country, are ina most state of uncertainty, enhanced by the threateniog of foreign politics, which makes the establishment ¢ efficient military system « question of life and de Prussia.

The-doors of the sacred edifices are open at all hours of the day, undoubtedly. Pro- grammes of religious observances cover the church walls. Priests hurry to and fro, and there is a semblance of life in spiritual matters, but the whole, I fear, is a mere. phantom, @ will-o’ the-wisp, that has no substantiality, no true heat nor light; and beyond the priests themselves and a few miscellaneous individuals, who make use of the holy temples as warming houses during a third edition of ‘the winter from which we arenow suffering, there arefew whoee habits in this great city are changed by that season of Lent which precedes the Afi Careme. After the per- mitted three days have been fairly devoted to fleshly lusts, a somewhat doberer temperament is assumed by afew, who begin to think that if they are to take any notice at all of their church’s ordinance it is about time to begin. The religious spirit is, however, very faint in the capital, and not strong in any part of France. One wonders sometimes why, with their contempt for their priesthood, their pitiful commiseration for the poor Pope, their complaints about the church’s oppressive ordinances, Frenchmen remain attached to the Roman Catholic forms of worship at all; and but for what they conceive to be the Puritanic observances of Protestantism, which would embarrass their present social habits, there is no doubt a great receding from the ancient faith would take place. Preparations are making at Torin to celebrate the an- nexation event with extraordinary pomp. The members of the provisional government will go to Turin to present their homage to the King. The Municipal Coancil will give Farini and Ricasoli a grand reception, at which the King may probably assist, in order te receive the annexa- tion, and pledge himself to hold it against all comers; the council pledging itself to support him by sacrifices however serious. Every measure has been taken to sup- port a struggle in the eventof one occurring. Barracks have been converted into military hospitals, and large supplies of ammunition and military stores collected. The Constitutionnel observes that a French entrenched camp is to be formed at Cremona in addition to that of luding a number of Deputies and some of the mos! Benteavants and political notabilities of this city; but, emarked that none of the Ministers were present shat some leading members of the liberal par: netance M. de Vincke, whose Intendance at bas orders for an enormous | trod: quantity of biscuit, &o. ; and ammunition | ing y's ) are tly landed.
