ITALY.

The Patric says that 14,000 Piedmontese
troops have already arrived at Naples, by sea.
King Victor Emmanuel will 'review them, after
which they will march to Caserta. The Pied-
montese who enter by the Roman frontier will
join the others. The object will be to cut the
Neapolitan line, one of the first consequences of
which would be the surrender of Capua.

THE BLOCKADE OF ANCONA.
It appears to be true that a French merchant-
man, the Protas, of Marseilles, laden with stores
for Gaeta; has been captured by Garibaldi's ships;
but as the blockade has not been recognised by
France she will probably be restored to avoid
disagreeable consequences.

ENGLAND AND PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, OCt. 17•
The official Prussian 'Gazette contains a lead-,
ing article upon the interview at Coblentz, in
which it says the cordial relations which have
ever existed between England and Prussia will
continue to ekist if the two countries do not
mutually misunderstand their true interest. The
relations have become more deeply rooted, and
have acquired increased firmness and extension
by the conference at Coblentz, and by the ready
exchange of views which then took place between
the leading statesmen of the two countries. In
view of the present great complication in the
European political system the more satisfactory
it is to be enabled to state that there was a coin-
cidence between the views and opinions of Eng-
land and Prussia on the great and important
questions of the day. The article thus con-
cludes : " While the Warsaw interview is a proof
of the good understanding of Prussia with her
eastern neighbours, the happy results of the
interview at Coblentz proves that Prussia under-
stands how to cultivate the highly important
interest by which she is bound to England."

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE
QUEEN OF SPAIN.
MADRID, Oct. 17.
On the arrival of the Queen at the Puerta del
Sol, at Madrid, a young man, armed with a
small pistol, attempted to shoot her Majesty.
The pistol, however, missed fire. The young
man is believed to be insane.

AUSTRIA.
The Paris Pays is informed in a manner
almost certain that the Austrian Government has
resolved to effect serious reforms, and that the
Emperor has caused a Constitution to be prepared
based on the elective principle. One correspon-
dent says that the new Austrian Constitution
will greatly resemble that which prevailed in
France from 1830 to 1848.
PARIS, Oct. 18.

The news that Baron Hubner, who is staying
here, had been summoned to Vienna to enter the
Austrian Ministry, is completely false.

TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE (via Marseilles), Oct. 10.
Reports are still current of new loans to be
contracted.
Kuprisli Pasha and Riza Pacha are perfectly
agreed. Much uneasiness is felt in Moldavia,
Servia, and Wallachia, on account of the con-
centration of Russian troops in Bessarabia. The
Karageorgewiteh party in Servia is agitating.
BEYROUT, Oct. 8.
A disturbande has taken place at Damascus,
occasioned, by the levy of the war tax• General
Beaufort de Hautpol has distributed relief
among the Christians.

SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, Oct. 17.
The note which has been remitted by France
to the Federal Council states that, independent
of the insult offered to the French flag at Sion, a
French subject was maltreated on that occasion.
The French Cabinet claims, therefore, that a severe
inquiry should be instituted on that point, and
expresses a hope that guilty parties will be
punished, and full satisfaction afforded to the
injured party.' The Federal Council has com-
municated the French note to the Government
of Valais, with a request that the inquiry which
it had already instituted concerning the affair of
the flag should be completed by an examination
of the fresh complaint on the part of France.

NEW ZEALAND.
The New Zealand Examiner says that General
Pratt, when he reached Taranaki on the 3rd of
August, found it embarrassed with 1,700 women
and. children, who would be unprotected' if any
large number of troops were removed to the front
to fight. He was endeavouring .to send off the
women and children, and reduce his line of
defence so as to let as many troops as possible
move out to a fresh attack on the insurgents.
The Taranaki tribes had erected twelve pahs to
the, south of the town, which, it is feared, would
cause. some trouble. The same journal has been
given to understand that a regiment of infantry
is on its way from Calcutta to. New Zealand, as
well a half battery of Armstrong guns from
England.
