A Turin letter of the 3rd, in the Debats, says:

There was a report this morning that the Piedmontese
troops had received orders to crow the Roman frontier, but
on inquiry I ascertained that it was unfounded, and that
the real facts as to the troop are as follow: —A corm' under
Gen. Cialdini is concentrated between Rimini and La
Cattolica, as already stated. Another corps under General
Durando is to have its head-quarters at Piacenza. On the
other hand, it is known that General de Isamoriciire
has concentrated troop at Macerate, and so General
Cialdini has been o to be guided by circum-
stances—an expression somewhat elastic. I have
already informed you of the agitation prevailing
in the Marches and Umbria. This morning three
ministerial journals, the Opistione, the fia:etta del Popoto
of Turin, and the Per/wren:em of Milan, all publish leaders
on an order of the day said to have been issued by General
de lamoriciere, in which he threatens with pillage every
town that may revolt. I cannot believe in the existence of
an order of the day so contrary to the French character ;
but the above journals take advantage of the occasion to say
that the Yiedmonteee government cannot leave without pro-
tection Italian populations exposed to the Prune of •
foreign force. It is also positively stated that Count Cavour
has given Cardinal Antonelli to understand that any move-
ment of the pontifical troops beyond the frontiers of the
Roman States would be considered an act of intervention,
and that Piedmont would in such case think itself justified in
occupying the Marches. Military preparations ►re con-
tinued with great activity. We every day see regiments of
infantry going to the arsenal to change their old muskets
for arms of precision, and then go of by nil. This morning
it was the turn of the 23rd Regiment. Independently of
the affairs of Naples and Rome, the government is not
without uneasiness as to the attitude of Austria. The
troops of this power have not yet made any movement,
but such immense quantities of war stores of all kinds
are being collected at Mantua and Verona, far be-
yond what can be necessary for the defence of those
places, that there u good ground for taking precautions.
On the subject of the contingencies which may
arise in Italy, from the present state of affairs, the
Opinione, Count Cavour's organ,. expresses itself as
follows

The Italian revolution has enjoyed the inestimable ad-
vantage of having been directed by the wisdom of the
leaders, instead of by the enthusiasm of the manses. The
French are at Rome, and no one can harbour the thought of
attacking them. As to Austria, it is evident that not even at
Vienna are there any hopea of preserving Venice for any length
of time. Let twenty-two millions of Italians be united, agreed
and disciplined, and then the domination of Austria in Italy
wiU be no loner possible. But our government must not
attack, or let itself be drived to try once more the fortune
of arms against Austria by those who think that the time
has come. Our government cannot abandon a policy which
barn produced such good effects, in order to enter upon a
course of adventure which would excite all Europe against
it. Were ever such a policy to get the upper hand,—were
the force of events to unpose upon Italy any other attitude,
the present ministry could not comply with it, or accept
the responsibility of a state of things which it could nut
sway. We believe all the liberals of Italy who support the
cabinet to be of this opinion, and that there is wisdom
enough in Italy to prevent any new complications ; but the
cabinet will, ou no account whatever, be responsible fur
facts leading to war with France and Austria.
