The Chamber of Deputies has commenced the dia-
cia,..ion respecting the modification of the law concern-
in the National Guard.
The co,mm,mman.her of the Austrian troops has asked the
municipality of Ferrara to provision the citadel, but the
municipality has refused.
The Austrian Government has requested the Govern-
ment of Tuscany to assist the Anstnan forces with men
and money in ease of war. The Tuscan Ministers were
divided in opinion.
The Grand Duke has gone to Naples.

The arrival of large reinforcements of troops in Aus-
trian Italy does not seem to have quenched the political
ferment there. Revolutionary placards are posted on
the walls. aolitious cries are heard in the streets, and
nothing is talked of but the probability a an outbreak.
The Austrians are more re-assured; and General ()inlay
is said to have undertaken to sweep rehellion from the
streets, as soon as it appears, with the forces now at his
disposed. It is said that the Austrians will declare a
state of siege in the states of the Church.
In Naples a royal decree was expected, declaring the
cite in a state of siege. A decree has appeared ordering
the trial of political offences by military tritsunals, and
directing that their sentences be carried into effect within
twenty.four hours. The text of the edict comprehends
the whole kingdom. Councils of war will be instantly
called in all places where political disturbances may
break ont. These councils will have to decide upon the
indemnity to be granted to thou states which have
suffered injury, and their duty will also be to fix the
amount of reward to be given to such persons u may
have co-operated in the suppression of disturbances. It
is afterted that • message in cipher, received from
Imnslon. was the cause of this measure. The king is
evidently alarmed, or perhaps he has been desirous of
appearing to perform an act of clemency on the marriage
of his heir to the sister of the Empress of Austria ; for
we are told that pardon has been granted to above eighty
political prisoners, including Poerio and Sattembrini.
But this pardon is clogged with the condition that the
prisoners allow themselves to be transported to America,
there to take up their residence. Puri° has refused the
pardon on those terms.
Prince Napoleon arrived at Turin on Sunday evening.
Ile was received at the terminus by the Prince de Carig-
nan. The concourse assembled to wait his arrival
greeted him with shouts of " Viva Napoleon!" " Viva
II Rk. !" " Viva Francis! and " Viva Italia!" The
Prince drove direct to the Royal Palace, and was re-
ceived at the hest of the ~..rand staircase hy the King and
Isis ministers. The first interview between Prince Napo-
leon and the Princess' Clotibla took place on Monday
afternoon. In the evening the Prince was present at a
ball given by the President of the Council at the palace
of the Ministry.
The university of Padua has been closed, because, on
the occasion of the burial of Professor Zambra, a 'editi-
ons disturbance kink place among the students: it was
immediately suppressed.
A letter from Bologna in the Ualoae of Turin an-
imosities the startling fact that in the event of any die-
turhance in Italy, Pope Pius will fly to Vienna. ''Orders
have been received in Bologna to prepare for him the
villa of St. Michele, in Waco, whence he might at a few
hours' notice easily reach the Austrian garrisons in the
Legations."
