PIEDMONT.

In the sitting of the 28th ult. of the Piedmontese
Chamber of Deputies, Count Revel inquired of the
Minister of Finance whether the expenditure of the
current year would be covered by the ordinary re-
venue, notwithstanding the payment of the in-
terest of the new loan. The Minister replied that
the ordinary expenditure would most probably
even leave a surplus; but that as to the ex-
penses of the Eastern War, that depended upon
circumstances. If the army could provision itself
properly in the East, one great item of expense
would be materially diminished. The expedition
had already cost 10 millions of francs. The sub-
ject then dropped, and the Convent Suppression
Bill was taken into consideration and passed by
95 votes to 23. The Parliamentary session was
closed by royal decree on the following day.
