The Decimal System.. — Another movement is 

 progress in Great Britain, to secure the adoptii 

 of the decimal system, so goods shall be sold and 

 duties paid by weight of 100 pouuds, instead of the 

 hundred weight of 112 pounds. At a recent inter- 

 viaw with the Chancellor of Hie Exchequer, it was 

 represented by Mr. Miller, of the Bank ofEugland, 

 lhat the 112 pounds, instead of 100, causes five 

 million of useless figures to be written every year, 

 in nothing but invoices, Ac, of bonded tea; many 

 of these figures are results of useless calculation. 

 An English writer, basing his calculation upon 

 these figure-;, supposes, that taking the whole busi- 

 ness of the country, fifly thousand million of use- 

 less figures are publicly written every your in the 

 United Kingdom, which could bo saved by the 

 decimal system.

Frasce.— An article in the Moniteur says :— The 

 Emperor does not hold the whole of Germany 

 responsible for the errors manevolencc of certain 

 manifestations which spring rather from mean 

 resentment than from serious fears. Germany has 

 nothing to anticipate from us for her independence. 

 We sympathise wilh ber nationality by showing 

 herself impartial ; she will show herself fore si _-!i ted 

 and will do better service to the cause of peace.— 

 The French people are susceptible in regard to 



ployment of strength. If threats will arouse, it 



may nevertheless be pacified by conciliation. 



The Le Nord distinctly asserts that as negotia- 

 tions are pending, Nupulerm consented to the insei 

 tion of the recent article in the Moniteur, to sho 

 his moderation ; but that if the present difiicullic 

 are not diplomatically solved— if Austria does u< 

 yield— he will not shrink from the consequences.

Austria.— It is stated that the Austrians h.-v 

 commenced to lay mines for the purpose of bloivin 

 up the bridge Duffalora over the Ticino. 



The Austrians were preparing a militm v hospitn 

 at Puvia, to have 2.000 beds. The Emperor Franei 

 Joseph was expected shortly to inspect the fortres 

 ond troops quartered in Italy. A Vienna dis 

 patch says that large bodies of troops had receotl; 

 that city from the northern ond easten 

 provinces of tbe Empire, and there is reason b 

 ■e that another army of .'ii'.i'itu men would ii 

 days be on their way to Italy. The Vicnni 

 correspondent Of the Time3 says that Austria wilt 

 assuredly act strictly on the defensive, and lb 

 greot arrangements are made purely from a lack of 

 pacific expressions of the Emperor of 

 the French. 



Italy.— It was asserted that the Sardinian gov- 

 nment had applied to Emperor Napoleon for au 

 ixiliary Corps de Anna of 75.000 men. The 

 troops already under arms at Piedmont amount to 

 72.000 men, and the new levies and reserves called 

 were calculated to bring the total up to 87,000. 

 orders to join were very stringent. An order 

 lid to have been received in Paris from the Sat-
