The Official Gazette of th• Duchy of Savoy of
the 7th declares that the rumour mentioned by another
Savoyard paper, of attempts at pillage and incen-
diarism having occurred in certain provinces of
Savoy, especially in the Tarentaise, are without
foundation. _ _

In its sitting of the sth the Chamber of De-
puties at Turin concluded the debate on the budget
of the War Department, and voted the amount,
now reduced to 30,910,04 if. It then proceeded
to take the treaty of commerce NV lal Aus-
tria into consideration. M. SIMONETTA attacked
the treaty upon political grounds, alleging
that the suppression of the contraband trade stipu-
lated therein would lead to a system of espionnage
in the interest of Austria, and contrary to the spirit
of free institutions. M. SELLA followed on the same
side, asserting that. Piedmontese produce was not suf-
ficiently protected by the treaty. The discussion was
adjourned to the following sitting.
A letter from Rome of the 25th ult. in the
Messaggere of Modena, mentions a rumour that
his HOLIEESB intends conferring the Cardinal's
hat upon two prelates of the Church of France,
in the next consistory. One of these prelates, it is
confidently asserted, will be the Archbishop of
BORDEAUX. Father PLANCHET, a Jesuit, who has
passed the greater part of his life in Syria, among the
Druses and Maronites of Mount Lebanon, has just
been named A postolical Delegate of Mesopotamia.
He is specially instructed to confer with M. LA VAL-
LETTE, the French Minister, at Constantinople, in
order to devise the best plan for the protection
and defence of the Christians of the East.
The same correspondent adds, that the sit-
tings of the Council of State are soon to
recommence ; one of the measures to be dis-
cussed being the relief of religious establishments by
freeing them from taxation. The new regulations
concerning the library of the Vatican are now en-
forced. The librarians are bound henceforth by these
regulations to work at the catalogues and inventories,
on pain of losing a month's salary fur every second
act of neglect.
The booths and shops which now disfigure the
Pantheon of the Agrippa are, it is said, to be removed.
