ninistratve and military innovations introduced by the
Sultan Mahmoud on the European plan, and to place
all things the footing of the old Turkish system
The Sultan has boon DESTROYS of placing in state of
regularity, finance, taxation, and Justice; withdraw
from the Pashasnnd other military commandments those
rights OF extraction which they have arrogaed them

discipline, depending directly the head of the state
and not on the governors of the provinces. He has
also reformed the Turkish costume too heavy for mill
tary manGuvres, and has in every instance in his pub
lie and private conduct evinced propensity for Euro
pean habits and manners, and relaxation. of the old
Eastern etiquette which has scandalzed the ignorance
routine, and pride of the ultra Turks.
Whilst Instructions are breaking in Europe TO

that this Instruction has been nStigated by Russian

from the National of Saturday.
PARIs.-'' A rather active exchange of notes has
taken place of late between the French Cabinet and
that of Vienna, relative to the affairs of Italy. Cou-
riers succeeded each other with rapidly. Prince
Metternich declares frankly, IN his notes, that he
will be the sole arbter of the fate of Italy. In the
former diplomatic language 1t was always admitted
that there existed German and French Italy; but
since the revolution of July, Austria will no longer
listen to The protection of France
esThe last dispatches of Marshal Maison leave no
doubt on The approaching occupation by The Austrian
troops of the Novaris, province annexed to Pied
mont but over which Austria claims right ofTevcr-
sibty, since the extinction OF the eldest braneh Of
Savoy. BY that occupation, Piedmont, which here
tofore had but the shadow of independence, will be
entirely at the mercy of the Cabinet OF Vienna.
orhe serious mistakes committed by our Ministry
with regard to the affairs of Italy, are difficult To re

easily the advantages which the weakness and irreso
luton of our Cabinet enabled him TO obtain at 81
