SARDlNlA.—According to the news nom Turin,
it is certain that the report of the re-appointment of
Obberti is unfounded. Chance Albert himself, it
appears, refused to give a commission to Gioberti for
the formation of a cabinet, and the republican party
in Turin is now dominant.

A private letter from Turin, of the 22nd instant,
Ithrows some light on the motives of Charles Albert in
dI to re-appoint Gioberti. It says the king is
personally
inclined to the resumption of the war,
so soon as it can be undertaken with anything
like a fair prospect of success, after the ter-
mination of the conferences at Brussels, which he,
in common with many well-informed persons
here, considers must produce no result, and, therefore,
he is averse to any line of policy which in his
judg-
ment may tend to lessen the chances of favourably re-
commencing it. Gioberti having advocated an inter-
vention for the restoration of the Pope and the Grand
Duke, had opposed himself to the wishes of the King,
who saw in Rome and Tuscany, under their present
rnments, allies of which he would inevitably be
deprived under a restoration.
Pensiero Italian° of the 22nd inst,says : "If we
are well informed, the resignation of Gioberti was
founded on his having concealed from hie colleagues a
portion of the foreign correspondence, which he fore-
saw would create opposition to his measures."
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputiis of
Turin, of the 22nd inst., a bill was presented by
ministers, authorising the government to levy the
taxes for the month of March. Deputy Cabella pro-
posed extending the authorisation to the month of
April. This amendment was carried by 111 votes
against 12.
The ministry, in the same sitting, declared that
they would adhere to the principles proclaimed in the
programme of the 18th December.
MAN STATES.—The correspondence of Fer-
rara of the 18th confirms the news that the Austrians
had passed the Po at several points, and that 10,000
had presented themselves before Ferrara.
The governor of the town sent to the general in
command, a deputation to demand explanations. The
Austrian general replied that he demandel--1. The
delivery up of the murderers of the three Austrian
soldiers lately killed at Ferrara. 2. The delivery
taw of the gate of the town. 3. The destruction of
4. The re-establishment of the arms
of the Pope. b. The payment of 200,000 scudi io
twenty-four hours. At the same time the general
added that the end of the intervention was the
putting down the Roman republic.
The Bishop of Ferrara then offered himself to go to
the Austrians and demand a longer delay. On the
leaving of the courier the prelate was about to go to
the Austrians with a second de_putation.
The /Wrier* Mercantile of Genoa, of the 21st inst.
says,uner date of Bologukthe 19th,the Austrians are
not only before Ferrara with 10,000 men, but are
reported to have taken possession of Vergato, in the
Bolognese.
