SERVIA.

The telegraphic despatch from Vienna which ap-
prised us of Prince Alexander's departure from
Belgrade for Semlin was not complete. It ought
to have added that before leaving he signed a
formal abdication dt the demand of Kouli Pacha,
governor of Belgrade, who acted upon instructions
received from Constantinople. A general pardon
had been accorded bythe Skuptschina to all Prince
Alexander's partisans. Prince Milosch's arrival at
Belgrade was alone wanting to make everything
regular. Rumours, however, prevail that the
Prince is rather alarmed at the re-establishment of

the old privileges of the national representation,
and that his acceptance is dependent on the adop-
tion of measures to diminish the present pre-
ponderating influence of the democratic party.
A letter from Jassy of the 24th ult., in the
Constitutionnel, says :—" In the elections, which
are now on the eve of being terminated, the Caima-
kams have rigidly followedthe prescriptions of the
conveation, and have more particularly endeavoured
to be punctual to the term fixed, and have suc•
ceeded, in spite of party struggles and of foreign
interference. Up to the present time, every-
thing has gone on without any disorder worth
mentioning, and according to the interests of the
country. The resignation of M. Catardgi does
not check the zeal of MM.. Stourdza and Pano,
and the intrigues which were intended to cause
Oi.sturbance in the Government will have been
in vain. The remonstramces of the Porte,
and the reproaches cast on the Camakams,
caused a considerable sensation among the people;
but MM. StoUrdza and Pano received the observa-

tious with great de'erence, and replied to them
with all the respect du?, to a suzerain power. The
emotion will therefore calm down, and there is no
fear of the Provisional Government taking offence
and dissolving itself. Some of the remonstrances
of the Porte are not at all tenable, or, at least, it is
impossible for the Caimakans to pay attention to
them. On the 18th inst., for, instance, a telegraphic
order directed the Caimacams to repeal the decree
which had re-established the law on, the liberty
of the press. Under the government of M.
Theodore Balche, whose docility towards the
Porte accorded with his own personal views, the
execution of the decree was suspended on a mere
letter trom.the sVizir ; but under ex;sting circuni-
stances it is impossible to imitate the conduct of M.
Balche. The present Government is founded on
the international act of the 19th August; it is free
to act as it thinks proper in the internal affairs of
the country, and public opinion is entirely in its
favour. • Another reason against the revocation of
the decree is, that at the moment when such im-
portant elections were about to take place it was
both just and moral to give parties entire liberty
to act and to speak, to allow the press to freely judge
of men and things, and, in short, to give full sway
to new ideas and to the most contrary opinions. The
Caimakams have therefore'refused, up to the present
tine, to attend to the order of Dec. 18, and there is
every reason to suppose that it will remain without
erect. Considerable sensation was at first caused
by the dismissal of the Moldavian Charge d'Affaires
at Constantinople, but, that act was neither violent
nor illegal. It was well known that M. Photiadi
was the private correspondent of Prince Vogorides,
and he is, moreover, brother-in-law of M. Stourdza,
the candidate for the post of Hospodar. The Cai-
makams were, therefore, bound in honour not to
leave the interests of the country in the hands of a
man who might be regarded both as the agent of
the ex-Hospodar and of thg future one. MM.
Stourdia and Pano have done nothing which in the
slightest way merits blame, and all their acts have
been called for by local exigencies. Be assured that
the difficulties of the moment cannot be imputed

to the organization which has been given to the
Principality, and that the work of the Conference
has lost nothing of its value and of its importance."

ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin, of the sth, contains a
letter from Milan, partly confirming the statements
made relative to agitation in that city. It states
that there was a large number of people in the
street called Corsia de Servi, on the night of the
31st and that there were cries expressive of
sympathy for Piedmont, &c. But, from the meagre
account given, it may be inferred that the former
statement was highly coloured, to say the least
of it.

The Minister, of Finance at Rome has authorized
the introduction, at Ferrara, of the New Austrian
florin at the rate of 49 baiocchi (2f. 52c).
