The pied,o„tese Gazette publishes the text of the
treaty concluded at Turin on the 12th of June last,
between Sardinia and Persia. By this treaty
the ambassadors, ministers, and consuls of either
•f the two contracting powers shall be treated by
the other on the footing of those of the most fa-
vourite nations. Traders of both countries are to
be protected and enjoy the privileges granted to
the most favoured nations. All disputes between
Sardinian subjects in Persia are to be settled by
the Sardinian Consul ; those between Sardinian
and Persian subjects are to be decided by Persian
judges, in the presence of a functionary of the
Sardinian Consulate. The same rule is to bold
in Sardinia as regards Persian subjects. In cases
of decease, the succession is in both countries
to be- given up to the lawful heirs or assignees ,'
through intervention of the consul of the na-
tion to which the deceased belonged. The
Sardinian Con-uls are to reside at Teheran,
Bend, r Booshir, and Tauris ; the Persian
consuls, at Turin, Gen ia, and Cigliari. ihe treaty

According to the German Journal of Frankfort
the negotiations relative to the se.tlement of the
difficulties betwet ri the Court of the Two Sicilies
am! the Wtstern Powors are so far advanced that
the Cabinet of Naples intends shortly to send an
Envoy Extraordinary to Paris and L 'ndon, to put
himself in di: ect relation with the Cabinets of the
two countries. It is added that it is probable that
inc Petrulla maybe charged with this mission.
