SARDINIA.

The Piedmontcse Gazette announces that when
no bulletins are published it is a sign there is no
news. The 33d bulletin has been anticipated by
telegraph ; the others are as follow :
"No. 34. TURIN, May 16.—A detachment of
our cavalry having met a few hussars made a cor-
poral prisoner and wounded some privates. The
Austrians have retreated beyond Casteggio, setting
the syndic of Broni at liberty. No news from
Vercelli.

" No. 35. TURIN, May 17.—The syndic of Bar-
bionella and some vice-syndics of the neigh-
bouring communes have been arrested by the
Austrians, for having refused to lend their aid in
calling together the peasants for the purpose of
raising earthworks, in order to prevent the bridge
of La Stella from being carried away by the swollen
waters of the Po. The enemy forced even women
and children to labour at the field works. The
Austrian troops on the right bank of the Po are
partly stationed at the bridge of La Stella, and
partly between Broni and Stradella."

The Piedinontese Gazette publishes a decree by
Prince Eugene of Savoy, extending the forced cur-
rency already enacted for the Bank of Turin, also
to the notes of the Bank of Savoy, which by this
same decree is also authorised to issue notes to the
amount of one million of francs, on condition of
lending three millions of francs to the Government.
Prince Eugene of Savoy, Lieutenant of Pied-
mont, has issued a decree, dated the 14th, enacting
that bills falling due in the administrative divisions
of Novara and Vercelli, and in the provinces of
Voghera and Bobbio, within the 11th and 20th of
May inclusively, are to have ten days additional to
run. This would almost lead to the supposition
that in the opinion of the Sardinian Government
Piedmont will have been delivered from its in-
vaders before the 20th, since a bill falling due on
the 11th will be payable on the 20th.
A Milan letter of the 10th says :—" The military
commandant of this city has published a proclama-
tion which raises the indignation of the Milanese
to the highest pitch, and shows that the Govern-
ment has some fears of an insßrreetion, which
might be successful. In the proclamation it is
declared that the soldiers of the garrison have re-
ceived orders to kill any Milanese on the spot
who shall be guilty of any offence towards
them. You know that General Benedek has laid
a contribution of half a million of francs on Ver-
celli. The banker Levi immediately called upon
the Austrian general, and told him that unless he
was allowed to go to Milan to get the sum, Ver-
celli could never pay such an amount. He was
provided without delay with a passport, and yes-
terday he arrived here and obtained the requisite
sum from the banker Mylius. Yesterday, Mgr.
Caccia was elected by the Chapter to the post of
Vicar-General of the vacant see of Milan`; Mgr.
Caccia is anti-Austrian, and was elected by 32 votes
against 28 given to his opponent, Mgr. Ballerini.
Not a single letter nor a single journal has been
received here from Piedmont since the war broke
out. The corps of General Wimpffen, 40,000
strong, is on its way to the Ticino. Troops are
still being poured into Lombardy by the railway.
Piacenza has received a large quantity of shells
and 100 siege guns. The outworks of Peschara
have been mined."

MALTA.

VALETTA, May 14.—H.M.S. Victor Emmanuel

91, arrived from Gibraltar on the 9th inst., and is

still in port. H.M.S. Racoon, 22, arrived from
England and Gibraltar on the 12th ; and the liners

St. Jean d'Acre, 101, and Brunswick, 80, have
joined Admiral Fanshawe's squadron, at present
cruising off the island. The Conqueror, 91, is at
Leghorn ; the Orion, 91, at Genoa ; and the Cen-
turion, 80, at Naples. The Marlborough, 131, and
Princess Royal, 90, are off Malta. The liner Orion,
from Genoa, and screw frigate Euryalus, 51, having
Prince Alfred on board, arrived this morning; also
the Argus, 6.
The screw store ship Supply arrived from Eng.

land on the 10th with stores, &c., for Malta ; the
Caradoc arrived from Marseilles on the 11th, having
left the Earl of Elgin there en route to England.
The Lapwing, despatch-boat, is employed running
backwards and forwards from the harbour to the
fleet. The Turkish line-of-battle ship Fethie, from
Plymouth, came into port on the 12th. She was
sent to England some months back to be fitted with
a screw. The Mediterranean fleet, under the com
mand of Admiral Fanshawe, now consists of eight
line-of-battle ships, two frigates, one corvette screw,
and other two paddlewheel corvettes, and smaller
vessels. Rear-Admiral Mundy, with the Hannibal,
is daily expected to join the fleet.
A letter from Naples, of the 9th, says :—Her
H.M.S. Centurion, 80, is in this port, having left
the Conqueror on the 3d at sea, bound for Leghorn.
The arrival of the Centurion was hailed with joy
by the English residents here. The American
frigate Wabash, with a commodore's flag, and a
Russian corvette, are also in port, but no French
man-of-war. The Grand Duke of Calabria, it is
expected, will, when the weather settles, pay a visit
to the Centurion. The town is Very quiet at
present."

Steam communication between Malta and Corfu
by the Austrian Lloyd's steamer is now inter-
rupted, but the electric telegraph is constantly
at work between our governor and Sir H. Storks.
We expect the Admiralty will run one of her
Majesty's despatch-boats twice a month to Corfu.
The Malta Observer of yesterday says :—" We
deeply regret to record the death of Dr. Paolo
Fabrizi—a gentleman well known both in Malta
and Corfu for his many public and private virtues,
pre-eminent amongst which were generosity and
charity. This talented and distinguished member
of the medical profession acquired the highest es-
teem and real affection of the principal inhabitants
of Corfu and Malta, and of the British residents.
His loss is lamented beyond measure. Nice in
Piedmont is the resting-place of the mortal remains
of so noble an Italian patriot."

A Vienna letter states that the retirement of
Count de Buol is likely to be followed by that of
two others of his colleagues, Baron de Bach, Mi-
nister of the Interior, and Count de Thun, Minister
of Public Instruction being, it states, on the tve of
either resigning or receiving their dismissal. As
to M. de Bruck, the Minister of Finance, his ser-
vices cannot be dispensed with under present
circumstances.

A Vienna letter declares that the subscriptions to
:he Austrian patriotic fund amount to 106,409

florins.

The Correspondanee Generale of St. Peters-
burg confirms a statement which appeared in some
of the German journals that Prince Gortschakoff
declared to Count Karoly that Russia would only

remain neutral on condition of the Germanic Con-
federation taking no part in the war.

The German Journal of Frankfort states that the
Porte has obtained possession of documents which
deeply compromise Prince Milosch, and prove that
he, Prince Couza, and Prince Danilo, have come to
an understanding for the purpose of provoking a
general insurrection in the Sclave provinces of
Turkey, with a view to taking them from the
Turks, and joining part of them to Servia and the
Principalities and the rest to Montenegro. The
above journal does not state from what source it
derives this grave accusation.

A letter from Copenhagen, of the 14th, says
" The King presided yesterday at a sitting of the
Privy Council at Christiansborg. Mehemet Ali,
hereditary Prince of Egypt, son of the Viceroy, and
son-in-law of the Sultan, has arrived here, and
was received by his Majesty to-day. The King
has attached to the prince's person during his
stay at Copenhagen two of his own aides-de-camp,
and has also placed at his disposal two court car-
riages."

A letter from Frankfort of the 15th in the
Independence of Brussels states that the Eng-
lish Government has recently sent circulars to
its envoys at several of the petty German
Courts and at Frankfort, advising them against any
act hostile to France. The circular was read to
Count Platen of Hanover by the English envOY,
who, being also accredited at Brunswick, afterwards
proceeded to that city, to make it known to the
Ducal Government. Colonel Hodges, the Charge
d'Affaires at Hamburg, has also, the letter states,
communicated the circular to the senate of that
city.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
15th, but they contain little of interest. In the
Senate, on the previous day, M. Santiago Tejad4
presented a proposition for a vote of censure against
the Government on the occasion of the dismissal in
December last of two senators, members of the
Supreme Tribunal, whose political views were net
in accordance with those of the Ministry. The
proposition was rejected without discussion. The
Prince of Wales was said to be making preparations
for a tour in the provinces of Andalusia.
