at Turin. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs ex-
presses the fear that the attacks against the Roman
States and the kingdom of Naples may lead to an
attack upon the possessions of Austria in Venetia.
If (says the despatch) the King of Piedmont was
at liberty not to accept the preliminaries of Villa-
franca and the treaty of Zurich, now that he has
pledged his royal word he is no longer at liberty to
attack a nation with which he has promised to live
in peace and friendship. Should such a fact CC.:lll',
Italy would
,again be exposed to all the chances of

ROME.
On the subject of the recent entrance of the Pied-
montese into the States of the Holy See, the Cardinal
Secretary of State has addressed the following
note to all the members of the Diplomatic Body
residing at Rome. It is dated from the Vatican,

" The undersigned greatly regrets the necessity
of communicating to the representatives of the
foreign Powers to the Holy See, a statement of facts
more and mere deplorable ; but the force of cir-
cumstances is so grave, and the impetuosity of the
violence used towards the most pacific of sovereigns,
the august Head of the Church, is so astounding,
that he cannot refrain from addressing to them the
present communication, being impelled thereto not
only by his duty as a minister, but also by the
express commands of his Holiness.
" Since the day on which he had the honour of
handing to your Worship the note of the 12th inst.,
the Piedmontese Government, continuing the same
course of hostilities against the Government of the
Holy See, without any provocation :on the part
of the latter, adding crime to crime, has excited
armed revolt against the legitimate authority of
the Holy See, in order to obtain possession of
the provinces which remained to it after the
usurpation of the Romagnas. The Pontifical
Government, relying on its right, has made, and
is still making every possible effort, thanks to
the bravery of its few troops, to arrest the im-
petuosity of the invasion • but the enemy's
forces are so overwhelming that it is not possible
the defence can hold out long. After the occu-

pation of Pesaro, the Piedmon-tese took prisoner
the Pontifical Delegate, who was even exposed to
outrage, and the commandant, who had resisted
the attack. On the other hand, a numerous body
marched against Perugia, which, after repulsing a
vigorous assault, was compelled to surrender, and
the general in command, with the whole garrison,
became prisoners of war. The same corps then ad-
vanced towards Foligno and came to Spoleto.
Orvieto has been invaded by volunteers, partisans
of Piedmont, who now threaten Viterbo. The Holy
Father thus sees himself violently despoiled of all
his- dominions, which are the patrimony of the
Church and of Catholics, notwithstanding that the
Emperor of the French has declared to
Piedmont that he would oppose the recent
invasion, that he would cease all relations
with that Government, if the latter did not
give him the assurance that the intimation made to
the Holy See would not be carried out, and that the
Sardinians would not attack the Pontificial troops.
" In this state of things the undersigned car-
dinal complains and protests against acts so de-
structive of all laws human and divine, and as
assailing the independence of the Supreme Head of
the Church and the integrity of the temporal
domain, with which he has been invested by the
dispensations of Providence, for the good of reli-
gion and of the Church, and which he has law-
fully possessed for so many centuries past.
"' He therefore requests your lordship to com-
municate to your august sovereign this complaint
and protest. The principles of justice, order, and
morality, which all princes are bound to maintain
and defend for the safety of their thrones, give
assurance that they will oppose a barrier to this
spirit of usurpation, which, treading all law under
fear-spreads disorder by means of armed troops, in
other States, in order to consummate spohations to
the injury of the lawful Sovereign. What also
gives no less confidence to the Holy Father is the
thought that attention will be paid to the
cries of so many millions of Catholics scattered
through all kingdoms, who earnestly implore that
a term may be put to the anguish and calamities in
which the common father of all has been plunged.
" The undersigned assures your lordship of his
high consideration, &'., ANTONELLI.' "

VHS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to-day very little English wheat reached us
coastwise or by land carriage, and the general quality of
the samples was inferior. The fine qualities on offer were
disposed of at prices rather over those current ma Monday,
but low and damp hinds met a dull inquiry at that day's

currency.
The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 28,000 qrs.,
nevertheless the demand for all kinds, both for town and
country use, was steady, and the quotations almost gene-
rally had an upward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in request, and good use-
ful wheats were is per qr. dearer.

There was only a moderate inquiry for malt at late quo

Although the show of foreign barley was tolerably good,
the barley trade was firm, and useful qualities were rather
dearer.

Oats—the supply of which was rather limited—were
firm, and the turn dearer.
Beans, peas, and flour realised extreme rates, with a fair
