The Genoese journal, l'ltalia e Popolo, states that
preparations are being made at the Vatican which
appear to indicate the approaching journey of the
Pope to Paris.
On the 19th there was a funereal military parade
at Milan in honour of the memory of the late Duke of
Wellington.

A Turin letter having stated that great excitement
had been caused at Turin by the rumour of a discus-
sion of an unfriendly character said to have taken
plat: between Marquis d'Azeglio and M. His de
Butenval, the French Minister to the Sardinian
Court, on the subject of a French refugee named M.
Pestorel, on which occasion Marquis d'Azeglio was
represented as having sent back two of M. His de
Butenval's notes unanswered, the Siècle quotes a
letter of the 31st, from its correspondent at Turin,
which indeed confirms the fact of two notes having
been most unaccountably sent back unanswered
to M. His de Butenval, but at the same time
states that the French Minister and M. d'Azeglio
have discussed the matter between themselves, and
that it is not likely to lead to any misunderstanding.
As for another rumour to the effect that France and
England bad jointly demanded the introduction of
certain modifications in the organic laws of Piedmont,
the correspondent states that the French Minister has
flatly denied ever having started such a subject; and
that the British Minister had not only repelled such
assertions with indignation, as totally unfounded and
contrary to his own sentiments as well as to the policy
of his Government, but had even had an explanation
with M. d'Azeglio on the subject, in which he ex-
pressed his dissatisfaction at the part attributed to him.
These explanations have appeased the general appre-
hensions entertained by the public on the subject of
the durability of the Piedmontese CJnstitution, but
have, according to the correspondent, placed M.
d'Azeglio in such an equivocal light, that his resigna-
tion is considered more than probable.
The Augsburg Gazette contains the following ab-
stract of the Pope's allocution in the secret consistory
of the 27th ult., which has not been officially pub-
lished. The Holy Father deplores from the bottom
of his heart the vehement attacks directed against the
church militant in most parts of Europe, but derives
some consolation from the thought that a copious and
certain spiritual harvest is promised beyond the At-
lantic. The Church must, he says, strenuously op-
pose the agitation brooding in the bosom of the Ca-
tholic Church in France, Germany, and England.
His Holiness trusts that the impending desertion of
many believers in Piedmont will eventually redound
to the glory of the true faith. The expressions used
towards England seem to exclude the possibility of
au encyclic letter being directed against clerical
agitation in the British dominions. Nevertheless, the
correspondent who has furnished the above abstract,
states upon his own knowledge, that not long after
the secret consistory of the 27th ult., a member of the
permanent congregation of cardinals drew up a moni-
tory epistle, the contents of which, though not con-
ceived under an official form, were intended to calm
the agitation by exhortations addressed to the Irish
clergy, to yield to the times, however perver3e.
