ITALY.

A revolutionary committee at Ferrara gives the Aus-
trians great annoyance, as it was formed for the express
purpose of giving assistance to those young Venetians
who wish to join the national army.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times says, the re-
port that Naples has promised to give military assistance
to Rome obtains no credit, as it is known that his Nea-
politan Majesty fears an invasion of his own territories,
and has no troops to spare.

THE LATE CONSPIRACYE. AT CONSTAN-
TINOPL

The result of the examination into the con-
spiracy at Constantinople is not yet known,
although the proceedings were at an end en the
3rd instant. The Pasha of Monastir, one of the
conspirators, has been taken to the Turkish capital
in a steamer belonging to the Austrian Lloyd.
(Rafter Pasha, who was not drowned in the
Bosphorus, is said to have reached Syria on his
way to Corfu. The Levant Herald and the Presse
d' Orte.zt, having received three warnings, have
been suspended. The news from Candia is more
satisfactory. Ethem Pasha is gone to Odessa to
meet the Emperor Alexander.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

• t
INTOLERANCE, LX SPAIN-ANOTHER:

MORTARA dASE.
The Morning saki, publitheS a correspondhnce
respecting the claims, made: by a Spanish Raman
Catholic priest for the body of a child of Eaglish,
Protestant parents,. in consequence of its having
been baptised by the surgeon who assisted* its
birth, and who is. a. Roman Catholic. - We under-
stand that, although the civil authorities. have
endeavoured to arrange the'matter quietly,. so as
to avoid public scandal, the ecclesiastical autho-
rities are determined to prosecute it with. the
utmost energy, deeming it a matter of overwhelm-
ing importance to decide whether a Six. month's
child is Protestant or Roman Catholic ! Instruc-
tions had been received by the parish priest in
Denia from the Archbishop of Valencia,. to, c..‘ pro-
secute the case with great zeal, but with. great
prudence." On the other hand, the parents are.
determined to resist to the utmost a demand at
once so unfeeling and prepostcrons.. The first
application of the priest to the mayor. (Alcalde) of
Denia was for protection in enabling him foreibl3
to enter the Protestant cemetery, to disinter the
body of the child; but the.mayor„seeing the deli-
cacy of the case, and unwilling toincur the respon-
sibility of such proceeding, applied to the civil gov-
ernor of the province for instruction how to act.
Meanwhile the priest made a gentler claim by
letter to the father of the child, and. hence the
correspondence. The case has already been
brought under the notice of our Government, and
instructions have been► given to protect the father
of the child from such an intolerable and pre-
posterous annoyance.
The British Consul at Alicante having brought
Mr. Graham's complaint before Mr. Buchanan,
the British Minister at Madrid, Mr. Buchanan
has addressed to the Spanish Minister for Foreign
Affairs a formal remonstrance against the pro-
ceedings of the ecclesiastical authorities in this
matter. Lord John Russell has approved the
steps taken by Mr. Buchanan for the protection
of Mr. Graham, and has instructed him to use
every endeavour to secure that gentleman from
molestation on the part of the ecclesiastical
authorities.

RECEPTION BY THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON
OF THE ITALIAN DEPUTATIONS.

The Nord of yesterday contains the following,
letter from Paris :

On Sunday the Emperor received the deputations
from 'Parma and Tuscany at St. Cloud. The Parmese
envoys were the first to be admitted The audience
commenced at ten o'clocii, and lasted a quarter 'of an
hour only. But if the interview was short,• it was in
the highest degree satisfactory to the Deputies of
Parma; whose countenances on leaving the palace
shoWedtheir contentment. The Tuscan's remained in con-
ference for more than an hour and a half.' The deputies
cannot of coarse report that this interview will remove
every difficulty ; but they will at least be able to say
that the Emperor remains faithful to himself and per-
severing in his rile of protector of the Italian cause ;
and they have the assurance that the principle upon
which the whole question hangs, namely, that of non-
intervention by arms; will' receive no injury from any
quarter whatsoever. At two o'clock General Dabormida
(Sardinian Minister) was received by the Emperor, and
the consultation lasted for a long time."
