TURKEY.

We have received, via Trieste, Constantinople
journals and letters to the 20th. The investi-
gation which had been ordered by the Govern-
ment into the affair of the Kangaroo is over,
and the commission has delivered its report to
the Grand Vizier. It appears from that docu-
ment that Ferhad Pacha. and Ismail Bey were the
principal authors, not only of the expedition of that
vessel, but of all the others organised for the same
purpose—that of supplying the Circassians with
arms and ammunition. They are to be brought to
trial for the offence. Some other persons are men-
tioned in the report as being mixed up in the af-
fair, but they are only subordinate agents, and
acted under the orders of the above-mentioned per-
sons. These journals state that the nomination of
M. Nicolaki Vogorides as Caimacan of Mo'davia had
excited great discontent in that principality, and
that it required all the tact and energy of Cabouli
Effendi, the Turkish commissioner, to allay the
popular excitement. Nothing is mentioned rela-
tive to the new bank, nor is anything expected,
until the account teaches Constantinople of the
deposit by the company of the 200,0001. agreed to,
and the issue of the shares. The plan which had

been so long in contemplation of nominating a
minister of public instruction bas been carried into
effect by the appointment of Sami Pacha to that
post.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, MARCH 29.
The official part of the Wiener Zeitung of this
morning contains the fallowing :
" His Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty has thought it
(skit bestiinent gefuiulen) to recall his Embassy from the
Court of Sardinia.
" As a consequence of an understanding with the Prus-
sian Court on the subject, the Prussian Embassy at Turin
will, should itbe necessary, uphold the interests of the sub-
jects of his Austrian Majesty in the kingdom of Sardinia."
Subjoined is a translation of the despatch which,
on the 16th of March, was forwarded to Count
Paar at Turin :
" Sir,—Directly after the return of the Emperor to his
capital I took orders of his Majesty on the subject of Count
Cavour's despatch of the 20th of February, which was to
serve as a reply to the reclamations you were charged to
make to that Minister. lam at present able to commu-
nicate to you the impression which that document pro-
duced on the mind of the Emperor, and to give you direc-
tions for the regulation of your conduct.
"The explanations offered by Count Cavour are far from
having entirely satisfied us. That Minister publicly and
plainly confesses that the Piedmontese press has been guilty
of excesses which are greatly to bo regretted. He openly
condemns them. We willingly take note (prenons acte) of
an avowal so candidly made, and duly appreciate the
feeling which led to the declaration. Although we ac-
knowledge the uniformity of our views on this point, we
are unable to subscribe to the inferences which M. do
Cavour draws from his declaration. In fact, the President
of the Council seems to think be in dispensed from all
effort to repress those abuses of the press, the existence of
which he acknowledge?, as soon as he has pointed out to
foreign Governments that judicial measures are a sovereign
remedy against them. He seams to be inclined to release
himself from all responsibility, and to leave it entirely to
the foreign Governments to take the initiative in the re-
pres,iou of those excesses.
"This is not our view of things. The system proposed
might suffice for the ordinary, I may say for the accidental,
abuses from which the most respectable press is never quite
free; but we do not think this passiveness of the local Go-
vernment is justifiable, when the excesses (ecarts) of the
press assume (as in the present case) the form of a regular
system of calling in gm stion the validity of treaties, and
when the violence and turpitude of the excesses are carried
to such a pitch that revolt in a neighbouring country is
openly preached, and au apology is even made for regicide.
We persist in thinking that in the presence of such enormi-
ties each Government is bound in honour and duty to make
its authority felt, and to prove by its acts that it is not
only inclined to respect treaties itself, but to make them
respected by its subjecte.
"If we have properly understood the sense of Count
Cavour's reply, that Minister seems to think we only com-
plained of the polemics of the public papers, but our com-
plaints bore reference also to the encouragement, as well
open as tacit, which the press received from the attitude of
the Government.
"Count Cavour gives us the assurance that ho will not
permit anything in the monument which is to be erected at
Turin to the Sardinian army that could give umbrage to our
susceptibilityor to that of our army. We regret thatiwe were
obliged to incite him to an assurance which, under all cir-
cumstances, would have been of much greater importance
if it had been given spontaneously. At the same time that
we express our appreciation of the intention which led to
such a declaration, we take the liberty of remarking, that
M. de Cavour, when speaking of the simple proofs of sym-
pathy which he has received from our Italian provinces
and from other parts of the Peninsula, takes no notice
whatever of the series of pretended deputations (pretendues
deputations) which he has received in person. This appears
to us to be a most important fact, for if it is not of a
nature to constitute a regular encouragement to revolt, it
at least tends to relax those ties which unite legitimate
Sovereigns and their subjects.
" It is true that M. do Cavour affirms, in the name of
the Sardinian Government, that itis his firm intention com-
pletely to fulfil towards his neighbours the obligations and
duties which the law of nations and treaties impose on him,
but he will permit us to ask if the tolerance which he dis
plays towards a press which incessantly attacks those terri-
torial limitations that are consecrated by treaty lain keeping
with his assurances— if the per sonal reception which he has
given to numerous addresses, all inspired by the hollow vi-
sions of Italian unity, and all tending to detach the subjects
from their duties towards their governments—is in accord
with the letter and spirit of the treaty of peace, in which the
King of Sardinia renounced all claim and pretensions to
the country situate beyond the liznits of Sardinia, as those
limits were fixed by the final act of the Congress of Vienna ?
Does Count Cavour think that he well interpreted the in-
ternational duties of Piedmont towards Austrie, and to-
wards his other neighbours, when he received deputations
and accepted addresses presented by foreign subjects, per-
sons who are not bound by any particular tie to Sardinia ?
Does not his conscience reproach him with haying, by theto
