A CriTRIA.—We are informed that the Austrian

imminent recognition by the French Emperor of the
kingdom of Italy by • counter declaration to the aft ct

itself entirely absolved from the obligatioes assumed at

ROME. —Accounts which we have re 'rived represent
the health of the Pope as growing rapidly worse. So
much effort is made by those who surround Pies to beep
the public from a true knowledge of his condition, that
It is not easy to arrive at tiny satisfactory appreciation
of the degree of ill-health into which he has sunk. But
we think we may rely upon the accounts we have re-
delved, which reiwesent the Pope as hopelessly and irre-
trievably shattered in constitution. Indeed, we behave

TURKEY.—The Sultan Abdul Mottled departed this
lii. on Tuesday morning lain, and, in accordance with
Turkish custom, was buried before sunset. The inter.
suent took place in Achnieta' Mosque, in which the
mortal remains of his father, Sultan Mshisiond. are
depopited. His brother, Ahdul-Aais was immediately
informed of iii. death, and very shortly after, the great
officers of the Crown waited on him, invested him with
the aysubols 'of sovereignty, and proclaimed him
Emperor of the Ottomans. About tao hours after-
wards he gave audience to the Ministers and great
dignitarin of the State. On Wednesday, he received
the diplomatic body. The new Sultan is 31 years of age,
and is sail not to be by the life of the harem. He has
been carefully educated, and speaks keg' sit and French.
ITALY.—'The ()pincer says:—" Berea Ricasoli will
probably communicate shortly to the Italian parlia-
ment the note of France, and the reply of the cabinet
of Turin, relative to the recognition of the king ions of
Italy." The Natiomilities affirms that the stale of the
Pope's health is more precarious, and that much
uneasiness is rr.anifested by the cardinals on that
account. The National Guard have arrested • hand of
brigands on Mount Yeses ins. On Thursday last, when
Cardinal Antouelli was oMetally informed by the French
ambassador of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy,
he replied, "This is where we have been led by the
solemn promises made by your Emperor at the beginning
of the war." In Thursday's sittings of the
the Chamber of Deputies, Baron Riaasoli laid upon the
table the whole of the diplomatic correspondence es•
shimmed betw. en France and Italy in reference to the
recognition of the Kingdom of Italy. If the document.
have not been tampered with, the publication of this
correspondence will have a European interest as afford-
ing a key to the Emperor's policy, and a statement of
the conditions (if any) seized to his consent. The dis-

A MBRICA.—The Borussia, which arrived at South-
ampton 013 Thursday. put us in posseadon of New York
papers to the 15th June. They contain some detail. of
the evacuation of Harper's Ferry by the Secessionists,
wl.o destroyed the property of the Federal Government
before ti.ey left. The war spirit prevails to a high
degree ii .ughout many of the Northern States, but -in
New Yori. reaches fever height, amounting, indeed.
to • positit Itirst for blood. The South is even more
enthus istio I opposing the Union, than the North rain
supporting it. President Davis keeps the movement of
his army perfsci.'r secret ; nor are the Southern news-
papers coffered to ',covey any intelligence to the public.
Consequently, in tl.. North nothing is known respecting
the Secessionist General's plan. A spy from the Federal
army we. seised a few days before the mail left, and
immediately banged. At Manager Junction, an im-
menus force of the Southerners was concentrated, and
at the Northerners were actively forwarding their forces
in the mine din•ction, the probability of a pitched
battle at that rp.t hecanie daily stronger. The South-
erners were in treat spirits on account of the defeat if
their antagoniits at Forth Bethel, and were loed in
their deumustral ens of joy. It is supposed that a
Federal army will be lauded on the coast of North Caro-
lina. From Missouri we learn that General Byte is in
hot pursuit of Governor Jackson, who has taken the
geld at the head of • aecession force.
INDIA AND CHINA.—The India and China mails
have arrived. From Calcutta we learn that Mr. Laing
had been seriously ill from dysentry, which had caused
ranch alarm and regret. Tito cruise at see, hnwever,
which he had been reronimended to take, had been very
beneficial to him, and when the Australian, with Mr.
Laing on board, arrived at Penang on the 24th ult., the
hon. gentleman had nearly recovered from his Blues..
The Emperor of China had not returned to Pekin, and
there were vague reports of a rebellion in Mongolia,
arising from the non.activity of the Emperor. Trade
was prosperous at Tien-tein. and several expeditions
had gone up the Vint tie. Hong -Now, as was expected,
had been taken by the rebels.
