ITALY.

The sitting of the ISth of the Chamber of Deputies
of Turin, was entirely taken up with the continua-
tion of the debate on the treaty of peace with Austria,
The Minister of Foreign Affairs incidentally gave
some explanations concerning a portion of the park
of heavy artillery belonging to Piedmont, and still
detained at Peschiera by the Austrian Government,
and stated that M. SETSSEL had set out from Turin
that very morning to obtain its restitution. The
general discussion was then closed, and two amend-
ments moved—one by M. MELLANA, declaring that
the natives of the provinces lately annexed to
Piedmont, and still settled within the Piedmontese
territory, should enjoy the rights of citizenship ; and
the other by M. ToRELLI, worded as follows :—" The
Chamber, declaring the validity of the principles
lAwhich determined the nation to hare recourse to
sins, accepts the treaty of Milan of the 6th August,
1849, as an inevitable necessity. It takes note of the
"declaration of the Ministry, that there are no secret
tleaties with Austria, and that, should any :exist,
they shall not be enforced; as also, that the treaty of
extradition of 6th June, 1838, cannot be extended to
political refugees, and shall not be enforced, in so far
as it may be contrary to our Constitution. It further
takes note of the promise of the Ministry, that notice
shall be given to Austria in due time of the expiration
of the Convention of the 4th October, 1834, within
two years." The discussion was adjourned to the
following day.
The Statuto quotes a letter from Rome of the 9th,
stating, on the authority of Cardinal MAccur, that
the POPE has concluded a loan of four millions and
half of scudi (23k millions of francs) at 84 per cent.
The Nazionale states that Monsignor ORSINI, who
returned to Rome on the 9th from Portici, has declared
that the Pore has renounced all idea of returning to
Rome for the present, and that he will not return at
all events until he has consulted the King of NAPLES
on the subject. The Triumvirate of Cardinals has
called in the paper money of the Republic, and has
issued a paper currency of its own, payable " when
there may be funds in the treasury for its liquida-
tion." This certainly is a cool trick on the part of
those who arrogate to themselves exclusively the title of
friends of order, credit, and property. It is said that
Cardinal ANTONELLI has resigned, and that the Pore
has nominated Cardinal DELLA GENZA as his suc-
cessor. DELLA GENZA is even more bigotted and
more reactionary than ANTONELLI, and possesses not
one-tenth of his talent.
We learn from the Venice Gazette of the 13th that
the court-martial having condemned a Venetian to
death, and another to two years' carcere duro (the
strictest kind of imprisonment), for having bad
stilettos in their possession, General GORKOWSKI com-
muted their punishment into three months and six
weeks respectively of political arrest. By a proclama-
tion of his, of the above date, the inhabitants of Venice
have been once more warned to give up all their arms
within 48 hours, after which period no more clemency
will be shown to delinquents.
