SARDINIA.

TURIN, Sept. I.—The Pro-Minister of Finances
for the Papal States, Signor Galli, has just pub-
lished his report on the general account of the pub-
lic administration for the year 1852, and on the
general balance to the 31st of December of the same
year.
The expenditure in the above year amounted to
5c.14,111,384 17, thus exceeding the income by

The cases of cholera in Piedmont continue to de-
cline g-nerally, though there were a few more cases
in Genoa the day before yesterday, which was at-
tributed to a pilgrimage the day previous to the
shrine of the " Madonna della Guardia," which is
at the height of 5,000 feet above the sea, and, the
day having been excessively hot, no doubt some of
the crowdwho made theaascent may have suffered
from the rapid change of temperature thus encoun-
tered:
The Piedmontese Gazette announces that a postal
convention has been entered into between Pied-
mont and the 'Swiss Confederation.

GREECE.
Telegraphic despatches have been received from
Athens, to the 2d inst.
They state that the commander of the French
troops now in Greece insists upon their removal to
Athens, from their present location, as 1,000 men
have died of cholera.
The Ministry was endeavouring to re-establish
relations with Turkey, and a further term had been

vessels in Turkish waters.
CORFU, Sept. 6.—The lonian Parliament has
been prorogued till the 18th March.
From Athens we learn that the King positively
refuses any indemnity to Turkey.

FRANCE.
The leading columns of the Paris journals con
tinue to be without much interest. About half of
them fill the portion usually assigned to original
articles with resumes of the foreign news, and in
the others the topics discussed have no novelty.
The Debats analyses at great length the official
report of the Savings Banks for 1853, which was
published some time ago, and notices the falling off
in the deposits and the augmentation of the dis-
bursements.
There is a long article in the Constitutionnel on
the duty of Germany on the Eastern question, but
this topic has been so much discussed already that
it was impossible for the writer to start a new point.
The Siecle notices in a few lines some remarks of
a contemporary on what it called a contradiction
by facts, as regards the attitude of Germany, to
the arguments of that journal. The Siecle replies
that it has pursued an undeviating policy on the
Eastern question, and has never varied in its opi-
nion as to what Germany was bound to do by in-
terest and honour. If, it says, the acts of Germany
are not in harmony with its declarations, that is
not the fault of the Siecle, but when it shall have
seen Austria draw the sword for something more
than the state quo ante bellum, it will be the first
to express satisfaction.
