ITALY.

The letters -on the subject of the negotiations
opened by the' Protestant deputation for the liberation
of the Madiais, now suffering incarceration for the
" crime of Protestantism," will be found in another
part of our impression. The Grand Duke had
manifested intentions of clemency, having given it to
be understood that while maintaining his high pre-
rogative, be would yet exercise it with mercy. The
Madiais were suffering so much in health, that the
Grand Duke would not, it was believed, nullify his
intended clemency by adjourning it.

The Pope has expressed himself highly displeased
at the outrageous conduct of some of the Irish Roman
Catholic clergy, whose violent and seditious appeals
have called down the displeasure of the Papal supre-
macy. A private reprimand had been forwarded to
Archbishop Mac Hale before he wrote his recent
epistle to Lord Derby. The Pope expressed the
most signal displeasure at the contents of that letter,
which is regarded as an act of disobedience towards
the Holy See on the part of the archbishop. Measures
are being adopted with respect to the Roman Catholic
clergy of Ireland, which will shortly become apparent,
as the Vatican has declared itself to be no accomplice
in, or to entertain any sympathy with, the violent and
injudicious outbursts of the ultra-Romanist party of
Ireland.

With respect to the College question, the Pope htri
consented to remove the anathema pronounced upon
the three Irish Colleges of Belfast, Cork, and Gal-
way, which prohibited the Roman Catholic youth of
Ireland from attending those institutions.
Lord Minto arrived at Turin, on the 31st ult., on
his way to Genoa, where he intends to pass the
winter.

SWEDEN.
A letter from Stockholm, of the 27th ult., states
that the bulletin of the King's healtb, on the preced-
ing day, announced an amelioration, the fever having
diminished ; but the King hal nevertheless ordered
the institution of a Council of Regency, as he had
done during his recent tour.

TURKEY.
The Turkish Government, now that it has cleared
the difficulties that surrounded it, will apparently be
allowed a little breathing time. The French Am-
bassador, who was at first furious at the failure of the
loan, has relaxed into good humour, now that
the interests of the Paris bankers are safeguarded.
There is one fact which must be apparent to the
most purblind, viz., that Turkey, reduced as she
is, is still a
giant when her energies are roused
to action. The Ministers, influenced by national
honour, have raised enough money to meet the
exigencies of
the day. Still the want of money is
great, and it was never so scarce as at the present
moment. This penury naturally cripples their action.
The new Grand Vizir is very powerful, and many
augur from this that such changes will be introduced
as will suit the system of the country and its inhabi-
tants.

Report says that Sir E. Lyons is expected to be
appointed to the embassy. Meantime the Turkish
British mission is creditably directed by Colonel Rose
who is much liked by the Turks, and justly esteemed
by European society in general.
Veley Pacha, Ambassador to Paris, has received
orders
to quit for his post as soon as possible. A
Turkish steamer will convey him to Marseil!e3.

AUSTRALIA.

Extract of a letter dated Town, June 4, 1852.

" All the money we have made up here we have laid
out in building a large house as an hotel; but from the
continued floods, the Turon is not such a money-making
place as it used to be. The building has cost upwards of
a thousand pounds; and if we should be fortunate enough
to have a continuanco of dry weather, the Turon will
again flourish, and we shall make plenty of money. We
have already several rich " bed claims," but, from the
water we are not yet able to work them. We expect to
do very well in the dry season. I have just returned
from Sydney, having purchased furniture for our new
house. The distance from the Turon istabout 150 miles,
over a very moue tainous country. I travelled on horse-
back alone, and did the distance in three days. The
scenery is sublime, and the views indescribably grand.
The road at places is cut in the side of the mountain;
and at only a few feet from you are deep abysses, so
deep that should accident precipitate a person down
they would not reach the bottom alive. A grand dinner
was given to the Governor on his visit to these diggings,
which event took place at our establishment. One
hundred and ten sat down—the diggers habited in red
shirts and white trousers. We sent up the dinner in
real style; the Governor was astonished; he could not
believe that such an entertainment was to be obtained on
the Turon. We had two tables, fifty feet long, ono up
each side of the room. Tho Governor sat of course at
the head of all, and over him we placed the Union Jack.
The room was hung with other flags and green boughs
(plenty of the latter here). The room was lighted up
with wax candles ! in brackats. and wax candles on the
tables, and globe lamps suspended over the tables. The
sight whilst we were all at dinner had a very singular
appearance—the green boughs and red shirts, long
beardo, extensive moustache, and rat-tail hair of the
diggers, combined with their strenuous exertions at the
.
knife and fork, requires some such able pen as Mr.
Charles Dickens to describe. A lump of gold has just
now been found by two men, weighing 54 ounces. In
1 the morning they had to borrow half a crown."
