ITALY.

The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 20th, mentions
some rumours of Ministerial changes in the Sardinian
Cabinet• It is believed that Count CAVOUR will re-
turn to power, together with M. RATAZZI, who is
now in Paris. Count PON ZA DI S. MARTINO is
spoken of for the interior, Chev. VILLAMARINA for
Foreign Affairs, and the Marquis D'AZEGLIO, it is
believed, Will remain in the Cabinet withoutil special
portfolio.

The Official Savoy Gazette of the 20th announces
the arrest of ell Englishman at Verona while in the
act of making a sketch of the fortifications of that
town. .It adds that after being kept a few days in
prison, he was expelled from the Austrian dominions.
The trial of Advocate GUERRAZZI, late dictator of
Tuscany,
commenced at Florence on the 16th. The
court W 23 crowded ; GUERRAZZI, ROMAIIELLI, and
the other prisoners implicated in the case, attended.
The first sitting was entirely taken up with the read-
ing of the indictment. The first point to be discussed
is the objection started by GUERRAZZI on the incom-
petency of the Court. The number of witnesses
amounts to 370 ; many of those called for the defence
having been rejected. The Court is presided over by
Councillor NERVINI, and Advocate-General BIC •
CHIERAI conducts the prosecution. Professor MON
T ANELLI'S book en the matters which form the subject
of this trial, has caused great sensation at Florence.
It must be recollected thrt the author is implicated in
the case as a defaulter.

The prisoners are eleven in number, viz., Guer-
razzi, Romanelli, Dami, Lottrini, Cimballi, Piccini,
Yetraccbi, Agostini, Pantanelli, Montazio, Capecchi.
When GUERRAZZI was asked his name and profes-
sion, he answered ; " Advocate, late Minister of the
GRAND DUNE, late deputy, late member of the Pro-
visional Government, and late chief of the Executive
power in Tuscany."
Before the proceedings commenced,'` the following
protest, which had been sent in by GUERRAZZI, was
read in court :

.. Roving been illegally arrested, and treasonably
and being now taken from prison iu

I declare that I yield to compulsion, as I do not recog-
nise in the said court any right of judging me; all the
laws which regulate the competence of tribunals, and
the order of trials having been completely infringed."
On the morning of the 17th the President of the
Royal Court adjourned the case of GuEnnAzzi to the

The news from the Turkish capital is of great The Grand

portance.
Vizier, 1? .ivEDSCIIID PACHA, has
resigned. The SULTAN'S brother-in,law, ACHMET
FETUI PACHA, the Pacha of Tophana (Director-
General of Artillery), has been dismissed. Au PACHA

and strong enough to bear the fatigue, Am PACIIA

Vtzler for the tnotnent. Tine correspondent of the
Oest Deutsche Post sees in all this a concession made
to Austria.
The French paper, the Union, contains the follow-
ing on thedifferences between the French and Turkish
Governments :
,' Has the Ottoman Porte ended by comprehending
the 1)0711 it incurred by its strange conduct towards
France? Has France caused her voice to be heard in
suet a way as to Command the legitimate catisfaetion
which she has a right to expect? The latest letters
from the East cause us to hope this. Three affairs are
in stispeuer, and exact a solution which heretofore has
not been given to them, in the spirit of equity, . justice,
and international treaties—first, the great question of
the holy places; ne.7t, the investigation relative to the
aesassinatiou of Father Basil, at Antioch; thirdly, the
reparations doe to the consul at Janina, for having been
struck zed insulted by Turkish soldiers, Other facts
equally grave have edded to these causes of complaint.
A Frenchman, M. Duvernoy, has been ill-treated at
Constantinople, and the odious acts of violence perpe-
trated at Tripoli have carried the dissatisfaction to the
highest pitch. In arriving at Constantinople, the Mar-
quis de la Vallette was obliged to judge for himself
the deplorable impression produced by the
publication
of the finnan
accorded to the Greeks; Ho-saw that
the public °pillion
.was nothing less than that our
ancient influence had been annihilated, and he has had
to speak the firmest language. It is not possible, in fact,
l
for the Porte to continuo for a longer period the affected
delays, and
the derisive investigations
which on
amount to denials of justice, and the manifest concessions
to the most formidable adversaries of our policy and
preponderance. All these appreciationsand our prepond all
these facts are confirmed by a journal which, it is known,
has peculiar reason to be well informed. The Debats
takes the tone of great irritation against the Divan; it
states that the finnan given to the schismatics ' was of
a nature to cause great dissatisfaction to the French
Government, and to place it on its guard es to the man-
ner in which the Porte would subsequently proceed at

the affair at Tripoli, , this affair has been the drop of
water which has made tlioolip overflow. The facts have
appeared so grave to the French Government that it is
said to have sent a peremptory order to M. de la Valetto
to demand immediate satisfaction. ln this state of
of Ministry has taken place.
things a sudden change
Reschid Pacha has been dismissed, and Ali Pacha, mi_
sister of Foreign Affairs, has replaced him as Grand
Vizier. Will the now Ministry be favourable to French
interests? The. Debats causes this to be expected;—' It
is to be hoped that, the now Ministers will understand
that justice and the interests of Turkey, rightly under-
stood, exact the prompt settlement of difficulties which
have brought the situation to this degree of gravity?
We wish for our part to share these hopes, and we can-
not believe that they can be deceived. France has the
most serious grievances; she demands reparations which
are naost legitimately due; the most vulgar equity can.
not suffer her to wait longer for them. And as .to the
question of the holy places, we must say that she has
only to claim purelyvnd simply the execution by Turkey
and ell Enron:Au diplomacy of the treaties still in vigour,
and especially of the capitulation of 1740. On that
ground she is invincible.' '
