A Paris letter in the Nord states that the four
powers, Frame, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia,
have not considered satisfactory the reply which
the Porte has made to their note respecting the
election of the Divan in Moldavia, and that, in
consequence, the late election, which in their
opinion took place from electoral lists which
were false, and were drawn up in a spirit
contrary to the decisions of the congress
of Parr, is not to be recognised as valid.
Instructions in accordance with that view have,
the letter adds, been sent to the commissioners of
the above powers in the principalities.
The trial of the three Italians Bartolotti, Tibaldi,
and Grilli, for having formed a conspiracy to assas-

7th August before the Court of Assizes. The judge
who is t..) preside during the month of August, M.
Vann, went yesterday to the prison Mazas, and
interrogated pro forma the three prisoners. As
they all declared that they had not provided them-
selves w:th advocates, he in virtue of his office
ordered three advocates M. Templier, M. Riyollet,
and. M. Lacan, to undertake their defence—the
first-named acting for Bartolotti, the second for
Tibaldi, and the third for Grilli.

The Italia e Popo'o of Genoa says :—" Twenty
persons arrested at Leghorn as being participators
in the late outbreak have been released from prison ;
but the number of arrests made since the 30th ult,
amounts to upwards of 300, and the police still
continue to arrest people on suspicion. On the 21st
they boarded a British steamer in company with the
English consul, and searched her minutely, but
withoat result. It appears that the Government
pect
are on the alert to arrest an individual whose arri-
val
the persons arrested at Genoa on suspi-
o nthoefy
beingoefifrom day to day."
