AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Gazette contains the following ob-
servations on the reply made by Count de Cavour
to the note of Count de Buol :—"lt is evident from
different journals of Europe that the reply of Count
de Cavour has bad a certain success among the gen-
tlemen of the press. We can understand this, for
the reply is to the note of Count de Buol what a
brilliant article in a journal is to a serious political
manifesto, which seeks 1 ss to make fine phrases
than to point out an existing evil. When the French
Government complained in the Congress of Paris of
the excesses of the Belgian preps, the complaints only
applied to tha Opposition journals. But the situation
of the Sardinian press towards Austria is quite dif-
ferent. The invectives made use of in Sardinia
against Austria do not appear only in the opposi-
tion and republican journals, but in the organs
which represent the Government in its internal dis-
cussions, and which receive at least some intima-
tions on foreign questions. This part of the Sar-
dinian press is not absolutely independent, and
Count de Cavour cannot, as regards these journals,
refer to the freedom of the press which exists in.
Belgium. The note of Count de Biiol was not ad-
dressed to the Cabinet of Turin for the purpose of
bringing about any change in the law on the Sar-
dinian press, but to show the Government of that
country that the source of the poison was well
known. The Sardinian reply has therefore skil-
fully turned the question, by reminding Austria
that the has a right to prosecute the journals be-
fore the Sardinian tribunals. Austria neither
seeks to prosecute nor to have punishment% inflicted
on joarzaalists ; but she makes her complaints be-
fore the tribunal of the European Governments and
of all impartial men, against those who are, we will
not Fay, the authors of disorder, but who favour
it by not exercising their influence over these
organs, in order to make them assume a more
supportable demeanour towards a neighbouring

country. What Count de Cavour s tys of the
Austrian journals is incorrect. It is in the first place wrong to think that the Ansiti.
r,l a n
ctimpletely deprived of any free w
vernraeat only exercises a negative it fl ience over
it, and that press is as independent for the mani-
festation of its ideas as that of any other country.
It doahticss would not be permitted in Austria to
represent the King of Sardinia as a (an?,er for the
repov. of Italy, or to attack the rights of Sardinia
over Genoa, or to excite the conserv. tves of Italy
to a p:ot against the Sardinian Government. When 1
the Austrian journals have at times made use of

bitter expressions against Sardinia, it has been from
the indis, ensable necessity of acting in self-defence.
The Austrian press does sot wage a systematic 71.8
against the Sardinian constitution, nor ill general
against her policy, when the latter does not inter
.
fere with Austrian affairs. But one would be de-
void void of every patriotic sentiment to coolly supp.o"
the torrent of abuse which ia constantly rushing
from Sardinia over the Emperor and the counted',

NAPLES.
A letter from Naples, of the sth inst., mentions
a political hoax played off in that city on the o,„ccba;
sion of the Queen having given birth to a son. The
trick, which created much e-nsation in the cal t
supposed to be the work of some of the nec,li:„
societies. The following proclamation, having the
Royal arms at the head, and at the bottom 'be
signature of the Imperial printer, was posted at
t
