• .TSIE KING OF SARDINIA, in his reply to an address
of the Edinburgh Protestants, in which with singular
bad taste the Romish Church was spoken of in con
temptuous terms, remarked, through his Minister,
the Marquis d'Azeglio, "that it was with extreme
regret that his Majesty had been informed of the
expressioes of contempt (expressions de inepris) by
which the; address stigmatised the Court of Rome.
The King (continued the reply), as well as his pre-
decessors„ has considered it a duty to maintain the
civil' power in his hands intact. He may have de-
plored isibfOundly the line of conduct which the
Holy See has thought its duty to adopt towards him
of late years; but, descended as he is from a long
line of Catholic princes, and Sovereign of subjects
almost entirely Roman Catholics, be cannot admit of
words of reprobation thus severe, and, above all,
iejuriousy towards the head of that Church on
earth.
General de la Marmora is expected at Turin, front
the Crimea, this day. His return is connected with
the organisation of an additional force of 10,000 men
by Sardinia, and with a view to attend the great
military *moil of war about to be held at Paris.
Muni Prokesch Osten had arrived at Constanti-
nople, and the Conferences upon the settlement of
the PrinClpalities were expected to open very shortly.
Lord Stratford, it was stated, had proposed the
union of Moldavia and Wallachia under the governs
men( of an hereditary prince, with a national army.
Private letters from Berlin assert that the King of I
Prussia has sent instructions to Baron Waller at
St. Petersburg to support Count Esterhazy in his
representations to the Russian Government.
COUNT VALERIAN Kaaziesitr, one of the most
distinguished leaders of the Polish emigration,
died at Edinburgh on the 22nd. Count Krazinski's
name has been well known in England since 1831,
from his able pamphlets upon the Polish and Russian
question, from his translation of " Calvin's Treatise
on Relics," land his numerous publications upon
Polish history and literature. His history of the
Weiformatlon in Poland " won for him high renown,
and the flattering distinction of the gold medal from
the King 'of Prussia. His high intellectual atta;n-
ments, and his marked integrity of character, ever
labouring in honest independence for the benefit of
his country, gained for him a kindly welcome from
English 'society. His loss will be severely felt by
his exiled countrymen.
