SATURDAY MORNING.
"Paris, Thursday Evening. " The letters of invitation were sent out last Tuesday, but it is not expected that the Powers will assemble in Congress before the beginning of next month. England and France are on the point of coming to an understanding as to the course they will adopt. Of course there are concessions on both sides. They will both advise, it is believed, that no addition be made to the present possessions of Victor Emmanuel, but that an independent king- dom of Central Italy be established. Such is the advice that France and England will offer. " Here the news, that all obstacles to the meeting of the Con- gress were removed, gave great firmness to public securities, which was disturbed by the report of the bombardment of Tan- giers by the French ; today the exaggeration was recognized, and nobody believes that the exchange of shots, whether intentional or not, between the forts and one French frigate will be followed by any serious consequences."
