ITALY,

The prisons of Rome are crowded and arrests are
daily taking place.
The 331 French infantry have embarked at Civita
Vecchia for France. The return of the Porn in
April is looked on as certain.
The approaching marriage of the Duke of GENOA,
brother of the King of SARDINIA, with a Saxon
Princess, was officially announced to the Chambers at
Turin on the 22d.

We learn from the Giornale di Roma that Mon-
signor BEDINI, Pontifical Commissary Extraordinary
of the Four Legations, has issued a circular prohibit-
ing functionaries of any class from expressing their
political opinions against the Government, and direct.
ing that strangers shall not be admitted into the
public offices to converse with the officials, unless
upon public business.
The accounts from Naples mention that the decree
of the KING for the suppression of the constitution
was ready, and that it would be published with an-
other, granting an almost general amnesty.
The Parma Gazette publishes a Ducal decree of
the 19th, which, after reciting in the preamble that
certain landed proprietors and farmers frequently give
notice to quit to their labourers or tenants on account
of the attachment the latter display for their legiti-
mate sovereign, and that the persons thus dismissed
are rarely accepted by other landholders, either be-
cause the latter are ill-disposed towards the legiti-
mate Government, or because they are afraid of ex-
citing enmity against themselves, direct that the
pretors shall, within their respective jurisdictions,
judge all cases of notice to quit between
landlord and tenant ; and that all such notices
given since Martin's day, 1849, shall be void, un-
less confirmed in the following month of April by the
pretors. Any pretor who shall have judged unjustly
in favour of the landed proprietor is to be immediately
dismissed.

This said Duke of PARMA was in England last
year, and is a great pet of onr Protectionist landed
aristocracy. What would the Duke of RICHMOND
and his clique say to the adoption of the "Parmesan"
law of landlord and tenant in England. Under such
a law the Marquis of ExisTiot would scarcely return
two Members for Stamford, nor would the seats
of the Duke of RICHMOND'
s nominess for Sussex be
safe.

We regret to bear that the Adjutant-General, Sir
John Macdonald, died this morning.
