PARIS, APRIL 17.

We are assured that M. de Serre, who has left Paris
as Ambassador from France to Naples, is charged to
recommend to the king to listen to the wishes of his
people, and give them a charter. This fact, which,
however, we cannot guarantee, would be a very ma-
nifest proof of the progress of knowledge, and the
triumph of constitutional ideas, in Eu'rope.

We are informed, in a manner which removes all
doubt on the subject, that the Duke of Dalberg was
recalled from Turin, and replaced by M. de la Tour
du Pin, because he advised the King of Sardinia to
govern according to the noble and wise principles
which his own Sovereign had proclaimed in 1814,
and not to maintain with a blind obstinacy the Decree
by which his Sardinian Majesty on his restoration an-1
nounced that he would pay no regard to anything
that had been done for the preceding twenty years.
M. de Dalberg, at • the period of the Revolution .of
Naples, also foresaw the danger which menaced the
equilibrium of the political Powers of Europe if the
Austlians advanced into that country with their
armies. It doubtless was not expected that two years
after it would be necessary to make concessions with-
out which the maintenance of the European Mo-
narchies must become daily more problematical.
It is now announced that the departure of Germ al
