LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ITALY.

The Official Gazette of Turin publishes a royal
decree convoking, as already stated, the Italian par-
liament for the 20th.

A Turin letter of the sth says :
Baron iticasoli hp again charged with the administration
of three departments—the Interior, Foreign Affairs, and
Justice, the latter during the time which M. Miglietti, keeper
of the seals, is to peas at Naples. Of eight ministers, only
five are now at Turin M. Peruzzi is in Tuscany, M. de
Santis in the Marches, and M. Miglietti in the South, as
just stated. The ;cabinet, being thus incomplete, abstain.
from dealing with great political measures, and only cur-
rent of airs are disposed of regularly. Two Ministers
occupy themselves with the business of their departments,
without caring for what is said about a crisis or obstacles
of different kinds--namely, .the Ministers of War and of
Marine. The former is engaged in making formidable
armaments; every day he gives new orders, and
labours to increase the number of soldiers. The
Minister of Marine, on his side, is striving to
augment the maritime force of Italy, and to raise her to
the rank of a naval power. In addition to the iron-cased
vessels ordered is America, in England, and at Toulon, he
has directed that two frigates, to be called the Gaeta end
the Melanie, shell be built in the southern dockyards.
There will thus be not fewer than ten iron-plated vessels of
war in course of construction for the kingdom of Italy. For
the Italian navy a large and safe port is required, es neither
Ancona, nor Greta, nor Genoa, nor !Naples, can be reprded
as suitable military ports. Accordingly, the transforma-
tion of the Gulf of La Spezzia into such a port has long
been spoken of, but hitherto nothing has been done towards
the realisation of the project. The Minister of Marine has,
however, decided that the works shall be commuted.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A letter from Vienna, dated the sth inst., says :

By the Imperial rescript which the Emperor has just ad-
dressed to Count Forgach, his Majesty entrusts to Count
Palffy, with the title of Lieutenant, the direction at the al.
fairs of Hungary, anillsys downthe regulations according to
which the new functionaries are to replace the former 00111.
In the Comitata, the Counts Palatine, or, in their default,

will be celled upon to exercise the fuoctioos
of governors, and will have to obey the orders blew' from
the Lieutenancy at Buda.
The administrative department, as well as the judicial
authorities, will be dependent upon those heads of Coroi-
tate, and the mayors of towns will also be tinder their
immediate orders.

The penal code actually in •igour in Hungary, being only
spy/if:able to certain offences of minor gravity, it will un-
dergo • complete reform, and be made suitable to the wants
of the moment in precise clauses.
The Imperial reerript must, nevertheless, be considered
as an exceptional and purely temporary measure, rendered
serenity by the hostile attitude of the authorities and as
sealbliss actually existing in Hungary, an indispensable losa-
Enna marts the Patent of the 20th of October is to be con-
sidered a dead letter.

An attempt is now made to re-establish order, which has
been so much disturbed by wise and decisive measures, to
put an end to the excitement which hu seized upon a por•
tion of the Hungarian people, and which mightlead to the
most disastrous complications.
This loiter concludes as follows :

Them are not repremive measures, nor is it •
state of siege which the Emperor of Austria has
just proclaimed, but administrative measures which,
we repeat it, are purely of • transitory nature, of •
description to obvi►te the obstacles to the development of
the great principles of well-understood liberty which pre-
vail in regenerated Austria. There is therefore reason to hope
that, within a short time, circumstances will allow the
convocation of a new Diet equal to its mission, which will
participate loyally in the furtherance of a work the object
of which is to confer upon the various populations that
compose this vast empire the same benefits, the same pre-
rogatives, and the same liberties.

What no ooe oan deny now, and the bist Imperial reccript
gives an evident proof of it, is the firm intention of his
Apostolic Majesty not to deviate from the line of conduct
which that monarch has traced oat for himself by granting
constitutional institutioos to those countries.

HUNGARY.

A letter from Comorn, Hungary, of the 2ud, says :

The ordinary monthly assembly of the cornitat was to
have taken place at tea o'clock this morning, all the neces-
sary arrangements having been made on the previous even-
ing at a conference convoked by the vice-gespan Sarkosy.
Scarcely, however, had the member of the conference sepa-
rated, than a detachment of troop surrouuded the hotel of
the aciaitat, sad the commandant, Lieutenant-Colonel
_ .

Tattoo, presented himself to the vice-gespan, and
declared that if the projected meeting took place
he should be obliged, by order from his superiors,
to &solve it by force. The vice-gespan replied
that the amembly had been °revoked, and that it must
take plan, whatever might happen. In the morning the
greater part of the members of the commission and of
the inhabitants of the town assembled, and entered
the ball at 9 o'clock. At 10, the cry was
seised, " Hen are the troops I" and the soldiers were
found to ►ave surrounded the hotel of the rt.
mint and barred the West Lieutenant•('olonel

(Per Arabia rid Bootee and Queenstown.)
The Secretary of the Confederate Treasury has ad-
dressed a circular to the commissioners of the Pro•
duce Loan, in which he announces that the subscrip-
tions to the loan are confined solely to the pro-
ceeds of the sale of produce, the Confederate
government declining to exercise any control over
the produce itself. The secretary repudiates as a
dangerous experiment any purchase of, or advance
on, cotton by government fur the relief of the
planters, whom he urges to apply to the banks for
advances. He further recommends the planters to
make immediate preparations for planting the
winter crops of corn.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune states that the Federal army will probably
go into winter quarters at Washington.
The Albany Evening Journal thinks it probable
that the Federal (?) army will shortly make a for-
ward movement on Washington.
It is rumoured that General Scott's health will
compel him to retire almost immediately.
General Sherman has issued a general order to
the navel expeditionary corps, which says that the
Federal army will make a descent on the Southern
States, under circumstances requiring great cool-
nem, vigilance, and intrepidity. The captains of
the transports received sealed orders on the 28th.
The fleet will sail immediately.
The correspondent of the New York Tribune at
Hampton Roads announces that the secretary of
the commander of the Federal naval expedition to
the South had absconded with the maps, charts,
and the commander's sealed orders from the Feder&
Navy Department. The Tribune, however, dis-
credits this news.
