The Opinions of Turin, which is known for its
strong political feeling against Austria, has the
following in its number of the 18th :—" A few
days ago, at Padua, a party of students, who had
been merr3-making in the country, and had, on
returning, assembled before the Cafe del Vittoria
on the Piazza del Sigeori, the usual resort of stu-
dents, were addressed in severe language by the
officer of the guard stationed there, who bid them
not make such a noise. Words ensued, and the
officer at length caused them to be charged with the
bayonet. Two students were wounded, and others
arrested, merely for having made some inoffensive,
noise, without giving the slightest cause of um-
brage to the police." We must now wait to hear
the account given of the affray by the other party.
A letter from Genoa of the 16th, in the Constitu-
tionnel, says :
" Cominandeur Boncompagni has been suzn-
rooned to Turin by telegraph, and has left the lega-
tion at Florence in the call of the Count de Cavour. '
It was at first mentioned that the reason of this
step was to send him to Bologna to congratulate
the Pope on his arrival. M. Boncompagni, how-
ever, would be ill-suited for such a mission, as it
was he who proposed the law on civil marriage,
which caused such displeasure to his holiness.
This consideration gives more probability to another
version—that of a reconciliation with Austria. It
was in his private interviews with the Grand Duke
of Tuscany that M. Boucompagni is said to have
given explanations relative to the rupture, expla-
nations with which Leopold 11. is said to have
been so much struck as to have been induced to
open conciliatory negotiations with the Austrian
ambassador. Count de Buol is said to have found
the explanations transmitted to him by his ,envoy
worthy of attention, and it is after this exchange
of notes between Florence and Vienna that the
Count de Cavour is said to have sent for M. Bon-
compagni, in order to confer with him as to the
possibility of coming to a satisfactory conclusion."
The session of the Diet of the Grand Duchy of
Saxe Weimar was closed on the 16th by a speech

"M. Lafragus, the Mexican Envoy, has had a P ec ond
conference with M. Pidal, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
but nothing has transpired as to the purport of it.

any Ministry in particular with having been the caus3

MiPistries, including his •swn. This rectification pro-
duced a favourable impression on the Senate and on the
public mind."
The principal contents of the Madrid papers of
