      not known at Zurich when they would again sit to treat matters of importance ' .

      APPROACHING CONFERENCE OF NAX'O ZilSON AND FItANCIS JOSEPH . It is stated positively that preparations are being made at Aronenberg in Switzerland for the reception of the Emperors Napoleon and Francis Joseph . What is certain is that tho estate and chateau of Arenenberg have been provisionally closed to tho public : The ( Chateau d'Arenenberg is the private property of the Emperor Napoleon , and was formerly the residence of Queen Hortense .

      THE ZURICH CONFERENCES . T iik ItUlepcnduncc JMye says ; — " Nothing Ima been settlod at tho conference of Zurich ; that France and Austria are divided more upon a quostion of principle than a question of fact . The cabinet of Vicuna would yield upon nil questions of detail , even upon the question of the duohios , if it wero hsaured in tho first pluco that Piedmont would put an end to tho opposition which , notwithstanding tho retirement of Count Cavour , is kept up in Italy against Austria ; and in the second pluco tlmt tho abandonment of their rights by tho princes of Central Italy was not to bo regarded as a sanction

      of tho revolutionary principle of allowing tho people to select their own form of government . Tho Court of Vienna would not concede anything to a principle which must load piece by piece to tho distnombormont of tho populations who are united under tho sceptre of Francis Joseph . Tho two Emperors must above ail things come to an understanding on tho principles to . bo established , tho end to bo aimed * vt , and tho consequences which arc Jikoly to fallow lrom any concessions that niay . be made . A Paris lottor of Wednesday adds—tho Zurich Conferences 'ire suspended da facto for tho present . For three < l < vys tho PlenlDotentlarios had nut met , and it was

      supply the whole of these , given an order to the proprietors of the Creusot foundries for the manufacture of some . Fifty large steam transports , each capable of containing 3 , 000 men , will be finished in a short time . Preparations for defence are being made along the whole coast . Besides the casemated batteries , of which the Nouvelliste of Rouen has recently spoken , the forts on the Mediterranean and the ocean , which have been abandoned for a long time past , are being rearmed . The forts of St . Malo are also taking in new ordnance . .

      vesselshave NAVAL PREPARATIONS IN FRANCE . The Paris correspondent of the Zndepehdance Belye says , that the French Government have resolved to construct twenty casemated vessels instead of ten , as was at first contemplated . Of the first order for ten vessels six have been completed . Although the sheeting of these war vessels is not less than ten centimetres in thickness , they are on the whole very light . The Government , being apprehensive that the Imperial foundries could not

      Parisian Gossip.—The Emperor Is Expected...

      Parisian Gossip . —The Emperor is expected at the Camp of Chalons on . the 20 th . ins ' t ., and at Paris on the 25 th , and it is stated as . positive that he will-. go to Cherbourg in the course of October ; A Paris correspondent writes : —I am assured , with I know not how much truth , that a more .. than ordinarycordiality-exists ju-st how between the courts of the Tuileries and St . James ' s . Something is said of a visit of Prince Napoleon and his young wife to England in the course of the autumn . A gentleman just returned from St . Sauveu ' r tells me the Emperor rarely allots himself to be troubled with state matters , lias very few politicians about him , and does little besides bathe and take exercise ; in short is resolved completely to unbend the bow , which even in the case of his cool head , and phlegmatic temperament must be at a tolerable pitch of tenevents which have followed

      sion fifter the marvellous one upon the other since . New Year ' s day . The Emperor is in remarkably good health . Ferdinand Floeon an active member of the Provisional Government during the late French republic , an exile at Zurich , declines the acceptance of the amnesty . Victor Chriuffbiir , lately appointed to the chair oi Professor of Ilistorv at Geneva , has given up his professorship and announced his intention ot roturnin » - to France . A letter from Algiers , of the 30 th ult ., informs us that the principal proprietors in that colony have signed a petition to the Emperor , praying that Prince Napoleon may be replaced at the head of the Government . The petitioners remark , that during the eight months Prince Napoleon presided over their destinies , he accomplished various reforms , removed numerous abuses , and realised many improvements .

      Victor Emmanuel And The Tuscans. The Mem...

      VICTOR EMMANUEL AND THE TUSCANS . The members of the Tuscan deputation charged with conveying to the King of Sardinia the vote of annexation to his dominions , arrived at Turin this dny week The municipal body and some members of the parliament went to receive them at the railway terminus . The streets through which they passed were richly decorated . An immense crowd was collected to welcome the members of tho deputation . A grand illumination took place in the ovenins , and numerous bodies of national guards were stationed in line along the principal street . To the address of the deputation tho King replied : — " Gentlemen , —I am deeply sensible of the wish or tho Tuscan Assembly . I thank you in my name and

      in the name of my people . We have received your wish ns a solemn manifestation of tho will ot the Tuscan people , who , after having niado the last vestigo of the foreign domination in Tuscany to cease , desires to contribute to the constitution of a strong kingdom , which shall defend the independence of . Italy . But tho Tuscan Assembly will have comprehended that tho accomplishment of its wish can only take place by negotiations which aro about to begin on tho affairs of Italy . I will second your dosiro , becoming myself strong by tho rights which aro given mo by your wishes . I will support the in which tho

      cause of Tuscany before tho powers Assembly places its hopes , and especially before tho magnanimous Emperor of tho French , who has done so much for the Italian nation . I hope that Europe will not refuso to practise towards Tuscany that work of redressing grieva nces which it has , under less favourable circumstances , praotisod towards Greece , Belgium , and tho Danubian Principalities . Your noblo country gives an admirable example of moderation and concord . You will adu those virtues to that one , which ensures tho triumph of nil honest undertakings , and which overcomos all obstacles—namely , perseverance . " There in no doubt that tho answer of Vlctoi Emmanuel to tho Tuscan deputation had boon pruconcortod with tho Emperor Napoleon ; and every

      Statement Which Goes To Throw Doubt Upon...

      Statement which goes to throw doubt upon the Emperor ' s intention to support the national wishes in Central Italy must be looked upon as an invention . On Sunday the telegraphic account of the reception of the Tuscans by the . King reached Florence ; an 4 great rejoicings took place throughout Tuscany ; the arms of the House of Savoy were placed upon , the gates of the Palazzo Vecchi and the Palazzo Pitti , amid the ' enthusiastic cheers of the populace . The municipal'body of Florence gave a grand fete . The Marquis de Ferriere-le-Vayer , the French Ambassador at Florence , has been recalled by his Government .

      Count Cavour has been staying at Florence for some days , and is in the enjoyment ot excellent health . His antechamber is crowded just as much as it was when he was minister , and the gratitude of the Italians towards him steadily continues to increase . It is probable that the Count will very soon resume the reins of government .

      FARINI AT PARMA . Tiie Dictator Farini has by a decree , in pursuance of the national vote , declared the States of Parma and Modena legally and formally annexed to the 1 ie < tmontese crown , with the enjoyment of all the constitutional rights of the monarchy . For the present the executive and legislative powers will be continued in the hands of the present dictatorship , subject , however , to constitutional guarantees . ^ The Assembly at Parma was opened on U eunesday with great solemnity . After the religious ceremonies at the cathedral were concluded , the deputies proceeded to the palace amidst the cheers of a numerous assembly of the people and National Guard Farini addressed the Assembly , reviewing the history of the rule of the Bourbons in the duchies , and terminated his speech amid cries ol " Viva Vittorio Emnianuele ! "

      The Forces Of Central Italy. A Letter Fr...

      THE FORCES OF CENTRAL ITALY . A letter from Florence says : — "It has been everywhere confidently stated that the forces ot these revolutionised States amount to 40 , 000 or 50 , 000 men ; but the utmost strength of the troops which could row be brought into the field would not exceeu 20 , 000 , or at the utmost 22 , 000 combatants . -Ihe Tuscans now under Garibaldi may perhaps be reckoned at 10 , 000 . regular troops and volunteers . Garibaldi expresses his conviction , that , ' judging from their present spirit , discipline , and martial aspect , he thinks those soldiers would have *> ugi » t with honour by the side of the conquerors at Magenta and Solferlno . '"

      __ . . . _ . __ , _ ,, Besides the Tuscans , Farini has organised a Modena brigade , a Reggio brigade , ami is now busy with the formation of a Parma brigade , lhe . Komagna division , under Mczssacapo , was not ready for two months after the enlistment was opened , ana the ardour of Italian volunteers was unavoidably damaged by the first announcement of the peace o £ Villafranca . , . The utmost number alleged to be at the present moment under Mezzacapo ia computed at 8 , 000 . It is possible that to these we may add 3 , 000 men

      under Rosselli . . The whole of this mass , both aC Modena and Romagna , consists of men the majority of whom have never seen fire . The Tuscans have , I believe , four and a half or five batteries of eight piece * each ; in Romagna the artillery numbers twelve cannon . In Tuscany , besides the 10 , 000 men now in the field , there may perhaps be a rescue , of 10 , 000 men ; but we must reckon among tiioso 2 , 400 excellent gendarmes , the customs and coast guards , ' and other troops who are not . expected to leave tho country ; the remainder arc recruits .
