THE ITALIAN QUESTION.

A letter from Vises', in Voss's Gazette, says :
"The Neapolitan ambassador, Prince Petrone, has
had within lb. list few days several conferences with
Count de Buol, and he was received on tha 20:11 at
a private audience by the Emperor. It is affirmed
that the Prince has remitted to Count de Buol a copy
of the note of protest which the cabinet of Naples
hu sent to Paris and London, and in which it re-
futes the accusations made by the Sardinian plenipo-
tentiary against the Neapolitan government. The
episcopal conferences continue regularly, and the
discussion on some delicate subjects has only just
commenced. At the bead of them is that of the mar-
riage law, on which opinions are so at variance that
it is improbable that it will be decided unanimously.
It is probable that government, in order to avoid any
possible disunion, will address itself direct to Rome
and decide that question with the Holy See."
The CUM: Gazette says :—" In a circular which
has been addressed by Count de Buol to the repre-
sentatives of Austria abroad, the Italian question is
particularly referred to. The general reasoning
adopted is as follows:—It is true that the situation
of Italy is not what could be wished for, but the
great question is to know whether the causes of that
state of things ought to be imputed to the govern-
ments, or whether it is not rather the consequence
of those revolutionary tendencies which formerly
showed themselves, and which still subsist, though
unrested. This last hypothesis is the true one, and
the charges brought forward by Count de Cavour
against the Italian governments must cases thereon
surprise as it cannot be seea whence Sardinia derives
the right of making such accusations. If this right
be founded on • policy more or less in conformity
with that of the Italian revolutionary party, it can-
not bat be deeply regretted, in the interest of the
tranquility of Burope."

Merlins to a telegraphic: despatch is the Prom
Belo, the governs:seats of France and Austria have
come to an agreement to demand from the Pope the
following reforms :-1. Au entire remodelling of the
jadicial administration. 2. A system of internal
recruiting, no as to form a national army. 3. The
continuation and completion of the railways. In con-
sideration of these measures, and after they shall
have been oanied into effect, the foreign occupation
will mast.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING._

Count Orloff had his audience of leave of the
Emperor on Saturday, although the Moniteur has
not yet announced the fact. He will leave Paris on
Wednesday evening or Thursday morning to join his
wife and son at Montpelier.
I learn by reervt ad•ices from St. Petersburg, that
General Edgar Ney was received by the Emperor
Alexander politely, of course, but with a marked re-
serve and unmistakeable coldness. This news, which

I have from a good source, is considered very im-
portant in the quarter in which it has been received.

The Pays sails:

We announced yesterday t►at Prussia hes decided upon the
creation of a naval station on tho coast of America, with
She view to protect Germane, who emigrate same the Aden-
tie every year. We loam tc-day by our private correspond•
ease, that the Austrian government has adopted a similar
resolution, and tout a squadron of three vessels is about to
be armed at Trieste, to form the Austrian station on the
American shores. This is the first time that the German
p twin have sent out *raiment& of the kind, and this
innovation is their policy deserves attention.

There are indications that the French government,
and (presumably) the English government also, in-
tend to press the union of the Prisoipalities, which
their plenipotentiaries advocated in the Congress,
although the proposition was opposed by 'turkey
and Austria. It will be remembered that in the
sitting of the Congress of March 8, the Grand Visier
said that " some few individuals, influenced by per-
sonal considerations, might have proposed to change
the present state of things, but that the general
opinion of the populations was certainly not in favour
of any such innovation." The French government
journals are instructed to construe the recent vote of
the Moldavian div►n, congratulating Prince °hike
on having demanded the union, as evidence that the
Grand Vizier was mistaken.

The Bonnie has been dull. The Rents fell 150.
for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at 75fr. and
73fr. 15c. The rates demanded for carrying over
were moderate, and from the fact it is augured that
the settlement will pees off easily. The new com-
panies lately formed will have a great deal of capi-
tal at their disposal, and it is conjectured that
much of this will be employed in reports. Bank
of France roue 50fr. The approach of the June cou-
pon, which is expected to bo 120 or 125, renders the
stock very scarce in the market. Credit Mobilier
was well supported, and rose 10fr. Railways were
generally heavy, but although little business was
done, several lines realised an improvement of from
to. 10fr. Northern nee 15fr. The authorities
now exercise a very strict surveill►nce, to prevent the
negotiation on the Bourse of unrecognised securities,
of which there are a vast number afloat.

It bu been rumoured that the bill for altering the
law relating to companies en commandite is postponed
till next session, but I 402 informed that although it
encountered considerable opposition in the Council
of State, it will certainly be brought forward.

ITALY.

THE SARDINIAN STATES.
GENOA, MAY 21. I
The projected popular demonstration against the
Austrian consulate, at Agnewla, was fortunately pre-
vented by the police. The placards stuck up during
the night, were torn down by the friends of order;
and a detachment of carbineers stationed in the via-
-1 pity of the consulate deterred those who intended to
,insult the Austrian eagle.
Our cJuntry appears at present to offer great
attractions to the Russian nobility. It is un-
certain whether the stimulus is political, or merely'
the pent-up love of Italian travel retrained during
the war. The Countess Orloff has arrived at Genoa
with her son CJunt Nicolas, whose wound, received
before Silistrie, is still alarming, though he has
spent one winter at Naples and another at Pin.
Count Dolgorotiki, too, has arrive d : probably he is
on his way to re.organies the Russian legation at
Rome, which has been left in a state of abeyance for
some years by its titular occupant, Count Xisseleff.
Prince Karyatine, secretary to the embassy, has re-
ceived leave or absence for an indefinite period. I
am assured there is no idea of a new concordat with
Russia; that which was arranged between Cardinal

Lambritschini and the Councillor of State Blondoff, in
the beginning of the reign of Pio IX., is to remain in
force.

There appears little reason to doubt that some
change is about to take place in the political condi-
tion ot Rome. Count Rayneval, the French ambas-
sador, has received instructions from the Emperor on
various points which require to be examined before
any decision is come to on the demands of Count
Cavour. The ambassador's report is to be based on
letatistica, the collection ot which was begun by Count
Pdlegrino Rossi, when minister for Louis Philippe
at Rome. It was to be despatched for Paris on the
15th inst, by an extraordinary courier. The urgency
with whi h the information has been called for shows
that the instructions to Count Harnett have been
issued in consequence of the documents transmitted
to Perla by Cardinal Antonelli. Among these docu-
ments were petitions from the provinces, callirg for
the appointment of clerical magistrates, and lies ot
the lay aid clerical officials in government employ.
The Pope has inaugurated the repaired palace
of the Quirioal by a dfje doer given to the Grand
nuke of Tuscany and his family. It was the first
I visit paid to the Quirinal since his flight in 1848.
It is thought that, is the event of his adopting •
semi-liberal policy, he will again take up his resi-
dence there. Pruners and printing-presses have in
the meantime been installed in the palace—it is un-
certain whether with a view to the printing of liberal
proclamations or religious encyclicals ; most pro-
feebly the latter, for the Pope has manifested a great
interest in a recent election of a Superior of the
Order of St. Francis d'Aesisi. No chapter of the
order had been held sine. 1750; and the instigation
to that which has just been held was the necessity
which seems to have arisen fur taking some measures
for the improved organisation of the missions in the
Holy Land since the promulgation of the Hagii
lirmayans. There were present 96 members of the
ord.r—from America, India, Palestine, Spain, and
' Portugal. The choice of the chapter fell upon the
guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, T. Bernardino de
Montefranoo. The personal interest evinced in the
election by the Pope arises out of negotiations in
progress to put an end to misunderstandings which
exist between the court of Rome sod the Franciscan
order. In connexion with this subject I may me.:
tion that the Archbishop of Munich has been
Placed, by Pio IX., at the head of the College of the
Propaganda- Toe Archbishop was confessor of the
Princess Elizabeth, now Empress of Austria, and has
recently been made a cardinal, through the interest of
the Empress Francis Joseph.
From Lombardy we learn that Field Marshal
Radetzki is already drawing together the troops
destined to occupy tie camp for msocetivres, which
in general is not assembled before autumn. The
Field Marshal is at Ebtrani. The disposition of the
troops is such that 50,000 men may. be concentrated
by railway on the Ticino. Austria is disquieted by I
what is taking place in Piedmont ; and will be so to
a still greater degree by the military festival in pre-
paration for the reception of General Marmora.
Commerce is in a very unsound condition at Trieste;
it is not easy to imagine why, seeing that all the other
@esprit to of the Medit have profited by the
concentration of business in this sea. At Marseilles
and Genoa commerce is in high activity. We have
here at present no less than forty associations urging
en different industrial projects. M. de Stuck has
arrived at Trieste, to examine into the Gauge of the
commercial crisis there.
