M. Lihsstthe Prout Pianist, Is Bhorll/Expected In X^Rjs From Bori In.
— ' ¦ ¦¦ T ¦ ' ' CONTINENTAL NOTES . FRANCE . The grand review of the Iniperial Guard took place oil Sunday ; but no political demonstration of any kind was observed . The expected cry of Vive F Italic was not uttered ; and , indeed , considering the present " pacific phase" of the question it is not likely that orders should liave been given for any manifestation of the kind . The Emperor did not leave the ground tillfive o'clock . Asa spectacle , the review-was magnificent , and it was favoured by lovely weather . The Emperor arrived on the Champ de Mars , by the Ecole Militaire . He was accompanied by his uncle , tho Prince Jerome ; his cousin the Prince Napoleon , and nn immense following of marshals and generals . He rode twice round the lines , distributed decorations to deputations from all the regiments present , and then witnessed the filing past . The Empress and the Princess Clothiide , in two carriages and four , arrived on the ground at the same time with the Emperor , and witnessed the review from a decorated balcony in . front of tlie Eeole Militaire . The Empress was accompanied , by the little Imperial Prince , who wore the uniform of a Corporal of the Guard .
The rimes makes the following announcement t"A Congress of the great Powers will meet either at London or Berlin , to take into consideration the state of Italy and the complications to winch it has led . There is no doubt that this solution is the best under the circumstances—in fact , the only one , considering how far each of the two Sovereigns principally [ concerned ' has committed himself . The recent conduct of the French asid Sardinian Courts is not calculated to ensure a happier fortune . for Italy ; but we trust that , now the settlement of that ' unhappy country lias been committed to Europe , the great Powers , and especially England and Prussia , will make their voices heard in favour of humanity and good government . France and Austria have called a Congress , not only to decide the points in dispute between . them , but to take counsel , for the permanent tranquillity of Southern
Europe . ¦ . The Moniteurof Tuesday contained an announcement respecting- the proposed congress , differing in some important particulars from the unofficial statements by . ' which it had been anticipated . The Moniteur ^ attributes the origin of the Congress not to the efforts of Lord Cowley , but to the proposition of Russia , to which , it . is added , England , Austria , and Prussia have not yet formally acceded . As to tlie basis of negotiations , upon the sufficiency and firmness of which the success of the labours ' of the plenipotentaries would before all things depend , nothing certain is ascertained . No tangible concession lias yet been announced ia any quarter on the part of Austria .
The Morning Post states , that "No basis is yet agreed upon for . , negotiating , therefore the meeting of tlie Congress must not be considered as certain . " The announcement of the Moniteur caused a rise of 4 per cent , in ltentes . The Moniteur also contains a report by M . Dclangle , on tho subject of Protestant worship in France . Henceforth , in order to increase tlie guarantees for liberty of worship , tlie authority for the opening of new Protestant chapels , meeting-places , &c , will be granted , not by prefects , but by the Emperor , in his Council of State . Jliirch 23
Tlio Toulon SentincMe of announces that four steam frigates have received orders to sail for the purpose of fetching troops from Algiers . It is asserted that Princo Napoleon will represent France at the proposed Congress , and also that all tho Italian Princes will bo represented . Nothing certain is yet known iia to tho acceptance of Austria , but . tlio gonenil belief is that sho will also give in her adhesion to tho proposal of a Congress . The Monilaur states that the Cabinets of London and liurlin have agi'eoil to the proposition of a Congress . AUSTRIA , Austria is transferring from Triosto to Venice whatever property belonging to the ( Jovornnient is doomed valuable . A camp of 40 , 000 men i « to bo fornud on thoeast of the AdrhklU * . to protect Istriu

It is sUitod by the Opiuiono that tlio mining of tho briijgo of Bulliiloni by the Aufitrinns has been suspended . The Austrian military authorities , it nays , haO entrusted t , ho work to the onglnOorfl of thoLombarilo-Venotian railway ; and adds that it has been countermanded by toleu rnph from Vlorina , thoro being roason to foresee a protest on thu part of Piedmont . It is stated , on good authority , that thq Emperor is shortly to leave Vienna for , Italy . IIo is to bo
accompanied by Field-Marshal Baron Hess , by hij first aide-de-camp , Count Grunne , and a numerous military suite . " A rumour is gaining ground on the Continent thai the mental faculties of the Einperor are impaired . The stab which was aimed at him a few j'ears sin . < by an Hungarian * though warded off by the buckl < of his cravat , touched the nape of the neck , anc inflicted a wound which has induced other ill re suits . The first symptom indicating any thin ; wrong was an imperfection of Vision . The oplica nerve was restored , but not before coriimunieatinj tlie disease to the brain . The Emperor , at times , i : stated to be unable to collect his thoughts ; whil < his disposition has become excitable and desirous of change . The spread of the malady is feared l-j tlie physicians , since , from the nature of its origin its cure seems difficult .
The Dresden Journal of Monday states that Austria has , under certain conditions , accepted-flu proposal of France to convoke a Congress in some neutral town , for the purpose of discussing Italian affairs . ' . . ' Tlie official -Milan . Gazette of the 21 st confirms the report that M . llipamonti , editor of a newspaper , has been assassinated in Pavi .-i .

Matters at Turin continue to look very warlike Volunteers are on the increase , and amount alreadv to 7 , 000 men ; the authorities have tacn compelled to erect fresh barrack rooms at the . depots of Cunec and Casiilo . General Garibaldi is specially charged ¦ to bring into a state of discipline those volunteers who cannot for the present be received into the ranks of the army . The protest published by Mazzini and his adherents , in their . ) ournal called the Pcnsiero cd Azione has been so far of use . that it has served to distinguishthem from all those patriots who , in 184 S , and since , u-ere followers of Mazzini , but who np % v riirijjG themselves resolutely and faithfully under King Vittorio's banner . . . . ..
Tlie syndic of Turin , M . . Mu ire , has caused bills to be posted , inviting young men to enlist : is volunteers . The number of these , however , will be very -limited * because in addition to the ordinary army and the contingents already under arms , there is some . thought of calling out the reserve , a force amounting to 20 , 000 . men . ; It is rumoured that Count Cavotsr has resigned ,, and that his place is to be filled by M .

The ceremony was solemnised in the most impressive manner . Tlie ' Ministers of State , deputations from Parliament , the officers of tho Sardinian Army , and of the National Guard , tho students of the University , and liberals from other purls of Italy , were present . Volunteers from Tuscany continue to arrive at Genoa in companies of twenty . The authorities ot Tuscan y permit their departure .
