The Piedmentese Gazette, of the 12th instant, an-
nounces that Baron Hector Perrone de San Mar-
tino, Minister for Foreign Affairs, had been ap-
pointed President of the Council, in the place of the
Marquis Alfieri de Sostegno, whose resignation had
been accepted. Another decree of King Charles
Albert revoked the extraordinary powers conferred on
General Durando on the 6th ult., the causes which
had rendered that measure necessary having ceased
to exist. The King reviewed on the 11th the gar-
rison of Turin, composed of 10,000 men, and was
received with the greatest enthusiasm by the troops
and population. The National Congress of the
Italian League met at Turin on the 11th, under the
presidency of M. Mamian, and divided itself into
three sections—political, economical, and military.
Count Cabrio Cassati was elected chairman of the
first section ; P. Sterbini, of the second ; and General
Racchia of the third. The Congress afterwards pro-
ceeded to admit the Neapolitan members, Spaventa,
Massaria, and Leopardi, and the Roman members,
Sterbini and Pino. The Tuscan Professor Giorgini
had not arrived.
