The Pays says of the news of the adoption of Mr.
Milner Gibson 's amendment
" The moment has not yet come for appreciating
the import of the incident, because we have not the
report of the debate before ns. We will make bat
this observation, that although parties may consider
the amendment a clever manceavre to be practised
against the ministry, it is impossible to admit that
there is any common sense in it with regard to
its professed object, viz., the state of diplomatic
relations between England France. In point of
form, Count Walewski's despatch to Count Persigny
of Jan. 20, having been simply communicated
by our ambassador, the names of diplomacy did not
absolutely require that it should be answered. But
in substance the despatch of the French government,
to loyal, so noble, so fall of deference and delicate con-
sideration for the susceptibilities of a great people,
with whom we are allied, could only have met with
an answer worthy of the application. This answer
Lord Palmerston gave by presenting to the House of
Commons the bill which has just been so strangely
amended by Mr. Gibson."
This polite phraseology means that, in the opinion
of the Pays, Lord Palmerston bad no choice but to
do as he was ordered. _ . _ .

The Patric cannot conceal from itself " that the
fate of the bill seems to be as much compromised as
thetion of Lord Palmerston," and thinks such a
deplorable event as his lordship's retirement on such
a question can only be the result of a misunder-
standing.
The Bourse, which has been weak for several
days peat, was naturally affected considerably by
the news from London. The Rents fell 45c. for cash
and 50c. for account, closing at 89.55 and 69.60.
Mobilier declined 16.25. The Orleans Railway fell
10E, and the other lines from sf. to 7f. 50c. It was
hoped from the second quotation of Consols reporting
a recovery of 1, after the heavy fall of the morning,
that Lord Palmerston would remain in office.

entirely filled with mourners and spectators. Rossini
was present. Among the vast crowd were also
observed MM. Halevy, Berlioz, Duprez, De Saint
Georges, Nestor Roqueplan, &c. The Requiem
of Mozart was performed by the Italian Opera
company. The Benedietua was sang by Alboni,
Grim, and Mario, together with Tamburini, who
lives in retirement in Paris, and whose voice has
not been heard in public for many years. After the
service the body was taken by railway to Maisons-
Laffitte, to be interred in a family vault near an
estate which the deceased possessed there.

TURIN, Pm. 17.
The relations at present existing between the Sar-
dinian government and the French government
are singular, and somewhat equivocal. Prince
Latour d'Auvergnc has not delivered any note to
Count Cavour upon the affair of the 14th of January.
But whether by virtue of instruction' received, or
through his own excess of seal, he continues, almost
every day, urging the President of the Council of
Ministers to proceed with increased vigour
against the press and against the refugees.
The solicitations have been augmented during
the last few days, since the arrival from
Paris of the first secretary of the French Lega-
tion here, Count Aimt d'Aquin, which has given rise
to the belief that new and more pressing. instructions
have come from the palms of the Tuileries. Bat it
is certain that as well the ambassador as his secre-
tary add to their instructions something of their
own, perhaps in order to cause it to be fn rptten
that the former comes from the ranks of the
Legiti-
miets, and the latter owes his position entirely to the
Home of Orleans. Besides this, the French Lega-
tion here has long been prejudiced against the liberal
party, being connected by the ties of friendship with
certain gentlemen of the old aristocracy, who find that
all popular institutions stink in their nostrils, and
I who are displeased by the indifference with which
the public regards themselves. However, Count
Cavour, feebly supported by England, and pressed
upon by France, a few days ago did not hesitate
loyally to lay before the King, Victor Emmanuel, a
description of the very difficult situation of affairs ;
showing that he, Count Cavour, could not recede a
single step from the principles of enlarged liberty
and national policy which he had loudly professed,
but that the King might perhaps provide better for
the urgency of the occasion by calling to the mi-
nistry persons who were more tractable, and lees
compromised with the Liberal party. After a long
and frank conversation, Count Cavour was earnestly
requested by the King to go on in the same prin-
ciples and policy that have been hitherto adapted,
and not to invade the public liberties in any
r
ler to inflict any injury upon the destinies oiel=
moat and the hors of Italy. This firmness on the
pert of the King has given fresh courage te
the Ministers and the country. Meantime,
Victor Emmanuel, willing to believe that
French demonstrations of friendship are sinosee,
baps on bestowing the greatest marks of his favour
upon the ambassador, and showing an unbounded
confidence in him. It was noticed at the last court-
bell that his Majesty entertained the Prince Latour
d'Auvergne in conversation for nearly two hours.
The clerical party, however, takes an ungenerous
advantage of the annoyances to which the Sardinian
government is exposed from foreign diplomacy, and
is in hopes that the deplorable event of the Paris
Opera Home will result in bringing about through-
out Europe a general system of reaction and repres-
sion. The Civelki Cattolica has lately published an
article of remarkable violence, in which it seeks to
prove to Napoleon lIL that he is now only reaping
what he had sown when he commended and pro-
claimed the principles of 1789.
This morning, our Chamber, after • recess of
more than twenty days, resumed its sittings, but
without any incident worthy of notice. A.

speaks of Watt and Park as having been handcuffed
on their landing in Naples. It was only en rout! to
Salerno, and in their different tripe from the prison
to the Procureur.Oeneral's house in Salerno that
thg were handcuffed.
The appeal made by the murderers of poor Bland-
ford came before the court on Feb. 12, when the
sentence was confirmed; all the previous time of
their imprisonment counts for nothing.
Some little talk ensued last week in consequence
of a Swiss citizen called Pittet having received his
passport, with an order to leave Naples. Pittet was
the oonfidential servant during many years of the
late Sir William Temple. It appears that he re-
cently demanded payment of a debt from a country-
man, who immediately denounced him to the police
as one who was opposed to, and spoke against, the
government. The consequence was as I have stated.
Pittet leaves by the steamer of to-day for England
via Marseilles.
