ITALY .

The King of Sardinia has conferred the grand
cross of the order of SS. Ntrurice and Lazarus on the
ministers Crvour and Dabonniuda. It is significant
that this mark of royal confidence in the two most
eminent members of the cabinet should follow imme-
diately upon the attacks on the Piedmontese system
of government which the Austrian Emperor has
made through Count Buol, whose despatch to M.
Appony was published yesterday in the Daily News.
Letters from Vienna er,cl Turin affirm that the
Sardinian cabinet persists in demanding justice to
the Lombard tmlyre's naturalised in Piedmont. The
Parlamenti) of lurin publishes a list of the emi-
grants despoiled by Austria. The catalogue tills six
newspaper columns.
The arrests at Palermo, which a Turin paper an-
nounced a few days ago in connexion with an alleged
insurrection, were consequent upon a fatal attack
made on a soldier. The body of the victim was found
transfixed with a poignard, to which was attached a
political paper intimating that the man had died as
the tool of a tyrant. Immediately rumours of a vast
conspiracy were circulated, arrests were made, pro-
clamations issuer', and, it is added, five persons were
shut.

GERMANY.
TUE BERLIN PLOT.

The arrests made by the police of Berlin at the
commencement of last week have led, as the police
themselves assert, to the discovery of a revolutionary
organisation of a most extensive and formidable cha-
racter. On Sunday morning, as we learn by tele-
graphic despatch, the journals of Berlin published a
semi-official note, announcing that, among the papers
found in the houses of the suspected, was one per-
porting to be the proclamation of the Germanic re-
public. One of the first results of this discovery was
the resolve of the guvernment to put down every popu-
lar organisatieu, however unpolitical its ostensible ob-
ject. The firs: to bc dissolved was the Hygienic Associa-
uon, numbering ten thousand members. Another re-
sult was a broad extension of the field of arrest. The
solidari6, subsisting between the governments of
North Germany greatly facilitates the joint action of
the police of different states. Thus we read in the
Rostock Gazette that on the 29th ult., at break of
day, a largo number of domiciliary visits were made
in that town by the police, under circumstances of
unusual precaution, the military supporting the civil
force. Among the parties visited were Prof. Turk,
the advocates Ehlers, Uterhart, Wigvrs, and Mane •,
M. Ihen, a foreman of artisans; Dr. bornbluth, and
M. lh an agriculturist. Seven citizens have been
arrested, and one having fled is pursued with hue and
cry. The Berlin police president, Stieber, with se-
veral of his auks, assisted at these house-searchings.
Letters from Berlin state that a few mornings ago
the pdice found the streets strewn with arms of
various kinds, of which housekeepers had rid
themselves during the night in apprehension of
police visits. It is alleged that a number of muskets
and swords, relics of the equipment of the dissolved
civic guard, were among the weapons thus thrown
away. Under one of the city bridges a bag contain-
ing 5,000 percussion caps au found.

The Berlin Moniteisr of the 31st contains an order
in council, removing certain practical fiscal obstaelee
to trade between the Zollverean and Hanover.
On the 27th ult., a hundred ammunition w
all heavily laden, were Dent off from Viennese=
Southern Railroad, and were followed on the next
day by a large park of artillery. Their destination
was uuknowo, the general opinion being that they
were despatched to Italy.
The telegraph announces that there is no truth in
the report that Baron von Kubeck retiree from the
preei&ncy of the Iteichsrath.
A Vienna letter in the Caine Gazette says:—
" Lard Westmoreland, a few days back, presented a
note relative to the question of the refugee.. This
document, which is of a most amicable character,
declares that 'if the English constitution is opposed
to the expulsion of these persons, the English go-
vernment will, however, take every precaution to
prevent them engaging in Flom, and particularly in
any in which Kossuth and Ma exini take part. If any
indications of a plot come to its knowledge, it will
immediately have the authors e it prosecuted before
the proper tribunals.' Such is the purport of the
note; and letters from London state that the police
has had • complete list of the rei"ugees made out,
with their occupations and resideneeo. On the other
hand, the representations made by England on the
subject of the sequestration of the pi ()party of the
Lombard refugees have been formally rejected."
