The Madrid journals of the 14th contain nothing
of political importance. A great number of
anonymous letters were, it seems, sent to deputies
threatening them with death at the hands of " the
children of the people," in the evdnt of their
voting for the bill on the national guard. The
Bishop of Osma had, after great hesitation, left for
Cadiz, in obedience to the orders of the Govern-
ment ; on his departure a great number of persons
of different classes of society assembled to pay him
their respects. The I 'iario says that the persons
who have requested the Government to he allowed
to receive enlistments for a legion for the service
of England are a deputy, and an en-deputy, both
of whom are natives of Catalonia. The answer of
the Government has, it says, not yet been given ;
but when asked some time ago to allow a legion to
be formed, it said that it could not do so, as it was
itself in waut of volunteers for the army.

ITALY.
Colonel Cadogan, who has been appointed British
Commissioner to the Sardinian head-quarters in the
East, passed through Turin on the 15th, on his
way to Constantinople.
A letter from Rome, of the 7th, in the Milan
Gazette, states that the dispute which arose last
year between the Neapolitan Government and the
Order of Jesuits is far from being settled ; and
that, besides Father Curci, two Jesuits more have
been compelled to leave the kingdom. The Civilta
Catolica. the Jesuit paper which is published at
Rome, is still excluded from the Two Sicilies ; and
the letter adds, that tb, whole Order would have
been expelled by this time had it not been for the
exertions of Cardinal Autonelli, who had written
several letter 6 with his own hand to the Neapoli-
tan Government to mitigate its resolutions.
