A telegraphic dispatch from Turin, dated Mon-
day, says :—" In the Chamber of Deputies yester-
day, M. Brofferio put some questions to the Minis-
try on the subject of the seizure of journals lately
made at Genoa. The Ministers of Justice and the
Interior replied, and maintained the legality and
the opportunity of the measures which had been
adopted. The Chamber passed to the order of the
day pure and simple."
The Piedmontese Gazette. of the 23dthas the fol-
lowing article in its first column :
" The Milan Gazette of the 20th quotes au article from
the Sentinella Cattolica of Nice, of the 13th, respecting
a pretended stay of Garibaldi at Nice, and imaginary
connivance at it on the part of the authorities whose duty
it is to provide for the safety of the State. Before the
said article was repeated by the Milan Gazette, the Go-
vernment of the King had considered it its duty to in-
quire who was the author of it, and having learnt his
name, to invite him to declare what proofs or what cir-
cumstances he had in support of his allegations • upon
which he confessed that his statement was solely founded
upon vague rumours, the origin of which he could not
even point out. One fact alone alleged iu that article is
true, substantially at least. A British schooner did in-
deed pass a few days in the port of Nice, and when she
got under weigh she fired off five guns at about a mile's
distance from the port, for the purpose of saluting a
joyous company who were at supper, and with whom the
captain of the schooner had passed the evening. The
schooner belongs to one of the members of the British
Yacht Club."
The Giornale 'di Boma of the 19th contains a
notice from the Peruvian Legation at Rome, an-
nouncing that orders have been received to have
an equestrian statue of General Bolivar executed
for that government, besides twelve statues more,
and inviting artists to address themselves to the
Embassy for further particulars.
A letter from Naples, dated March 24, stating
that news had been received there of a soldier
having been murdered at Palermo, and that to the
dagger with which he had been stabbed was at-
tached a paper with the words, " Vengeance of
Mazzini," that a great number of arrests had been
made, that five persons had been immediately shot,
and that General Filangieri, the Governor of
Palermo, had published proclamations announcing
severe measures for the repression of any attempt
at insurrection, which was published rather more
than three weeks ago in one of the Paris journals.
The Constitutionnel now publishes a letter from Pa-
lermo, dated the 15th, and signed Caldareira, in
which the writer asserts that the murder spoken of
was never perpetrated, and that no proclamations
of the nature alluded to had been published. All
that was true in the letter of the 3d, says M.
Caldareira, was the fact that arrests had been made
of some conspirators against the Government.
Four of them were condemned to death for having
concealed arms, but the king almost immediately
granted their pardon.

GERMANY.
A letter from Fribourg of the 23d says —" Per•
rier has been brought before the court-martial.
He wore a blouse and spectacles. On the table had
been placed a pistol with seven barrels, the carbine,
the sabre, and the cartouch box which belonged to
him. He appeared quite unconcerned : the wound
which he received on the head is very slight. Ma-
jor Gerbex saved his life by warding off a thrust of
a bayonet which was directed against him. The
Public Prosecutor demanded the application of the
punishment of 30 years in irons. The civic guard
unanimously demanded that he should be con-
demned to death. The court adopted the applica-
tion of the Public Prosecutor, and has thereby
caused great excitement among the civic guard, as
they say that in a few months he will have obtained
his pardon, and will make a fresh attempt at revolt.
Col. Perrier has not given any information as to who
were his accomplices. He pretended in his defence
that he had no intention of shedding blood. Never-
theless it was he who distributed the powder, and he
was himself fully armed. The fanatical cure of Torny
and Louis Week have been arrested. The Director

It has already been stated that the Second
Chamber of Prussia has rejected by 147 votes to 139
the authorisation demanded by the Government to
prohibit without a previous judicial decision, the
introduction into Prussia of foreign publications.
Before this vote was come to, the Chamber admitted
an amendment presented by the Catholic fraction,
declaring that the authorisation, if granted, should
only apply to works published out of Germany. The
ministers were called on to declare, if after this de-
cision, they would withdraw the bill they had pre-
sented, but they declined_ to reply. Being pressed,
however, they eventually declared that if the prin-
cipal article were rejected, the Government would
