ymin.—The Koniteur of Wednesday contained a note on the in- tended progress of the Emperor and Empress. It is as follows-

" Their Majesties will leave on the 23d instant, on a visit to the new departments of Savoy and Nice. Marshal Vaillant is intrusted with the care of the Imperial Prince during the absence of their Majesties. The Marshal will also sit at the Council of Ministers."

It is unofficially added, that the tour will' last above a month.

Their Majesties will leave St. Cloud at 9 a.m. on August 23., and will return on September 24 at 10.35 p.m. The principal stages of their journey will be Lyons, Chambery, Annecy, Grenoble, Marseilles, Nice, andAlgiers. The visit to Corsica will be but a flying one. The Emperor will not stay a. night on the island, but after passing a few hours at Ajaccio on September 14, will return to his yacht. A squadron of seven vessels will escort their Majesties to Algiers.

The Emperor and. Empress accordingly left Paris for Savoy and Nice on Thursday. The Foudre is about to proceed to Tunis to convey the Boy from that place to Algiers, where he will remain during the stay of the Emperor and Empress.

The Moniteur has published a decree reducing the navigation dues on the canals of France. The reduced scale is to come into operation on the 1st of September, 1860.

An imperial decree is expected, according to which corn and flour, on being imported into Frame by land or sea, in the latter case either in French or foreign vessels, will only be subject to the minimum of duty until the end of September, 1861. All vessels laden with corn and flour will be exempt from tonnage dues.

rig i11111.—Letters from Biussels state that the volunteer movement in Belgium is rapidly making way. In Brussels a civic committee has

just been formed to concert measures for the national defence. This Committee is provisionally composed of MM. Orts, Defre, Tamar, and Van Humbeeck, all members of the Chamber of Representatives; of General Pletinekx, commander of the civic guard of Brussels; M. Aua- pach, echevin ; and M. Considerant, the eminent writer. The object which the eommittee in the first instance wish to'obtain, is to strengthen and enlarge the elements of defence which the population might avail themselves of in the event of aggression. The means in the communes 's-here there is a civic guard existing, are- " First, to complete by voluntary action, and the improvement of arms, the force which an actual organization presents ; secondly, to prepare the moveable portion of the guard for the duty which the law assigns to it in the hour of danger. • "In places where the civic guard is not active it will be necessary for the Committee to assist in the organization of volunteer companies, and in the transformation of archery and cross-bow societies into corps instructed in the management of arras of war. "The Committee has asked for the concurrence of all friends of national independence in Brussels and the provinces who desire the same object."

till.—After various attempts to send his forma directly across the straits from the Faro point to Calabria, Garibaldi, it is believed, has suc- ceeded in overreaching the enemy, and has landed a force estimated at from 4000 to 8000 men on the main. The first successful landing took place on the 8th of August. A select force was chosen from the army about Messina' and sent across by boats at night. The object was to seize the fort known as the Torre di Cavallo. The bulk of the force landed, but, being discovered by the enemy, Missori, its leader' hastened with his men to the mountains. Since the 8th many rumours have been circulated. The reported movements of Garibaldi and hia officers are mysterious and contradictory. Some of his time he has passed at sea,

at he appears to have done all he could to bewilder the enemy ; going so far as to attempt to cut out the line-of-battle ship, Itionarca, from the Bay of ;twice itself ; a daring action, in which the Veloce played a distinguished part. His efforts in diverting the enemy's atten- tion have been successful. Telegraphic despatches from Paris, Naples, M.ossina, Genoa, Turin, report that he landed in Calabria, somewhere about the 19th; that he has with him sorne 8000 men ; and that he is master of Reggio, the Tone di Cavallo, and the Straits of Messina. It has been variously reported that the landing was effected at Melito on the South of Reggio, and at Bagnara on the North. The probability is that the Garibaldian troops landed in both places. At present, we have no accurate information.

The Queen of England, armed steamer, arrived safe at Messina on the 15th, with her acceptable cargo from British generosity, viz., 16 rifled cannon, am} 22Q00 rifles, with ammunition.

At Naples, all is alarm. The King has reviewed hie soldiers whom he keeps near the capital, and has implored them to remain faithful. The King's uncle, Count of Aquila, has been banished by the King—sent here on & pretended mission relative to the navy ! He boasts of his love of constitutional liberty ; he is accused of conspiring to seize power by the agency of a democratic revolution. - The King has bidden him an affectionate farewell. Naples is in a state of siege. In Piedmont they are about to form a body of Volunteers, arming and clothing them at the expense of the state. The Irish in the service of the Pope are about to be sent home again. They resent hard living and hard usage, and are found too troublesome.

/Ulf Jr 1.—The Committee of twenty-one members of the Council of the Empire adopted on the 21st by eighteen against three votes, the po- litical programme of the Hungarian members for all the provinces. The Ministers also gave their formal adhesion to that programme.

It is stated that the engagements between the Prince Regent and the Emperor of Austria at Toplitz were merely verbal. The Nord has given the following resum6 of the engagements mutually entered into- 1. The two Sovereigns, on the Eastern question, undertake to adhere firmly to the conditions of the Treaty of Paris; to resist anything that may affect the integrity of the Turkish Empire; and to obtain an un- derstanding on this subject with the Cabinet of London. 2. With re- gard to the internal affairs of Germany, Austria has made important concessions, especially on the question of the organization of the Federal army ; Austria engages also to offer no opposition to the liberal reforms contemplated by Prussian policy. 3. With respect to the affairs of Italy, the Prince of Prussia recognizes that the possession of Venice is of real importance to the Austrian empire, but declines any engagement on this point so long as the Italian movement is confined only to Italians. If any foreign Power takes part in it, the Prince Regent engages to lend Austria the support of the Prussian arms. Finally, the Prince Regent promises. to use all his personal influence to bring about a reconciliation between Austria and Russia.

The official Prussian Gazette designates the statements of the Nord in reference to the points determined upon in the interview at TOplitz as pure inventions.

'The Imperial Armin will' inform you what is my mission, and enable every one to judge of the extent of the Imperial justice, which accords re- fuge to the oppressed and punishes the oppressors. It will be my duty to discharge legally the task confided to me.

"All may remain here in safety ; the condition of the families driven from their homes will be taken into consideration, and I undertake to re- assure them, to support them, and to extend over them the protection of the Imperial justice. "I command, above all, that, from this day forth, dissensions cease ; whichever nation dares commit any violence against the other shall be at- tacked by the military force which accompanies me, and every person who forgets his duty shall undergo immediate punishment."
