TURIN, MARcH 30.

The Rattazzi cabinet is in course of transformation.
In order to weather the storm, be who now com-
mands the baripie of the state is throwing his com-
panions overboard one by one,keeping only the
robust, and seeking others ud way bring him
strength ; but if it is easy for Dim to get rid of the
weak, it is not equally easy to obtain the aid of the
strong. The Marchese di Torrearsa, General La-
/immure, and Count Pasolini have refused their
aid to Signor Rattarzi, who has been more success-
ful with General Durando, a senator, and formerly
Sardinian ambassador at donstantinople. General
Durando has always been a liberal. As an exile he
served with much distinction in Spain, returned to
Italy the moment he perceived that his country
was awaking from her long sleep, and published a
remarkable book, in which lie proposed to form
three states which should comprise the whole of Italy.
Fourteen years ago the idea of uniting all Italy
under one monarch seemed quite too impracticable ;
but at this day General Durando is himself a uni-
tarian. When Count Cavour proposed to parlia-
ment the expedition to the Crimea in conjunction
with England and France, one of the ablest and
most convincing speeches in favour of that
grand conception was that delivered by General
Durando, who was then a deputy. Hence you may
infer that he cannot be out of plata in the ministry
for foreign affairs. One of the things which public
opinion could not pardon iu the present ministry
was that it numbered among its members Signor
Cordova, who was Minister of Cowmen* under
Ricalioli, and was mixed up in the French and
extra-parliamentary intrigue that issued in the
retirement of the illustrious baron. Signor Rattazzi
Las at last felt the necessity of satisfying public
opinion on this matter so he dismisses Cor-
dova, and with him Mancini, the Minister of
Public Instruction, who is likewise personally
obnoxious—but on other grounds. Cordova is a
Sicilian • Mancini, a Neapolitan ; it is therefore
proposed to substitute, for the former, Signor
Amari, a Sicilian professor of Arabic, and author
of a valuable history of the Sicilian Vespers; for
the latter, another Neapolitan advocate of some-
what better repute, namely Signor Conforti. Thus
there would be three new Ministers—Durando,
Amari, Conforti—whose names have given occa-
sion to this jeu d'esprit : I)urando um amori con-
forti, it ministero potrd mere tan pow wiefitiv. Ano-
ther Sicilian, who was one of Garibaldi • generals,
Las obtained a post of honour, being made aide-de-
camp to the King. This is General Carini, who
was severely wounded in the campaign for the
liberation of Sicily, and rendered important services
