ITALY.

The Opi acme of Turin publishes a statement
from which it appears that there are 6,083 Vene-
tians enrolled in the army under the command of
Gen. 11lezzacapo.
A letter from Naples says :—" Great interest is
felt in official regions here as to the political regime
with which Italy will be endowed by the Congress,
and uneasiness prevails as to the anomalous position
in which the Two Sicilies would be placed in the
midst of constitutional Governments. It is not
thought that the Ileapolitan Government would
refuse to join the Italian Confederation, but itr
adhesion would not be without some reserves ; it
has, indeed, already come to an understanding with
the Pontifical Government. It may also be regarded
as certain that both Governments are preparing the
reforms which the new state of things will render
necessary. It is supposed that the dissensions
which have arisen between the Government and
Prince Filangieri were relative to those projected
changes. The attitude of Prince Filangieri is con-
sidered a strange one, as though he avoids exercising
the functions of President of the Council, still he
does not resign that high office. The Prince is
perhaps endeavouring by that mode of proceeding
to reserve to himself the means of accomplishing
the reforms which he has in view, and, by thus
standing aloof, to compel the Neapolitan Govern-
ment to acknowledge that his services cannot be
dispensed with. This plan of conduct, which
seemed likely to be thwarted by the refusal of M.
Carascosa, charged with the signature of the Pre-
sident of the Council, to continue that office, meets
with no obstacle now that M. Carascosa has with-
drawn his refusal."

The Moniteur (le la Rolle says :—" The corps
cl'arm(e which is to act in China will, it is believed,
be composed as follows :—The English will send
6,000 Europeans and 6,000 native troops. France
will send a complete division, consisting of the
101st and 102 d regiments, the 2d battalion of rifle-
men, 16 companies of marines, 4 batteries of horse
artillery, 2 companies of engineers, 1 company of
the baggage train, and 500 sailors. The division,
including sailors and marines, will be altogether
about 20,000 strong.

The Piedmontese Gazette publishes several Royal
decrees : one ordering the promulgation of the new
military Penal Cede ; another organizing the new
Court of Accounts; a third for the organization of
the Council of State, and others for matters of
minor importance, including one which confersthe
Cross of Commander of the Order of St. Maurice
and Lazarus on Chevalier Miglietti, late Mi-
nister of Justice.

The .e/granz Ga:ette states that Osman Pacha
has just received, as a present from the Pope, his
Holiness's portrait engraved on onyx and richly
mounted. Services rendered by Osman when in
office at Tripoli, with respect to the erection of a
Roman Catholic convent, have procured him this
favour.

The Staatsanzeiger says that the health of the
King of Prussia has improTed lately, and he is now
able to make short excursions in a carriage.

" The New Prussian Gazette says :—" Letters from
Vienna mention as positive, the intention of the
Austrian Government to contract a large loan. The
amount spoken of is 500 millions of florins, of which
250 millions will be raised under the form of a
forced loan, and the other 250 by a lottery. The
whole will bear interest at 5 per cent. No further
details are known."

The King of the Belgians has conferred the grand
cordon of the Order of Leopold on Baron de Tuyll
Serooskerken, attached to the household of the
Queen of Holland ; also on Baron de Palland, grand
chamberlain at the Dutch Court; and Baron Omphal,
intendant of the Royal Palace.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives at its
sitting of the day before yesterday completed its

The Madrid journals of the 7th contain no poli-
tical news. They state that the fleet of Morocco,
which in 1794 consisted of 10 frigates and 37
smaller vessels, is now only of 2 corvettes, 1 brig,
and 14 gunboats. Attempts made to cultivate the
sugar-cane in the neighbourhood of Mataro had been
attended with a fair degree of success
