 interposed in a humane way on behalf of the Italian prisoners in the hands Ofthe POpe,:he Duke of M0dena, and the Archduchess of Parma but the two latter seetn determined, by the rigorous measures which :hey have a- dopted. not to disappOint the doughty leaders of the late distuI bances of one sort Of imlnor- ality at the least. No less than 2OOO persons have been already arrested in the disturbed States. for the parts which they took in the late insurrection.
 The King of Sardinia is following the ex- ample Of Austria, in insulting French subjects wherever they are to be met with. 1t ap- pears that some French vessels have been captured in the Mediterranean but the Min istrr of Marine, when the matter was men, tiOned in the Chamber of Deputies said that 1t had been put into course of inquiry. BELGIUM. The Belgian Congress have refused 10 fix a day for their dissolution; and though tran guilty has been restored, the people are in a very unsettled state.
 The report is again circulated that the Prince Le0pOld, married to daughter of the King of the French, is about to be made King of Belgium. The proposition, it IS known would be unpopular, generally speaking, in Belgium; but its execution is regarded upon
  able body of the people wish for the estab- lishment of some settled order of things. But it is thought that under the cover of this scheme, some other restoratives of a new ! kind to the distractions of the country are in state of preparation. The cause of the l Prince of Orange seems to be given up on all hands as utterly hopeless.
 An order arrived at Cassel on the 2d inst. for the march of 4OOO Hessian troops, and 12 pieces of cannon, on the 5th of May, for Lux emhurg.

 Brussels papers to the 1 l9th, confirm the an- nouncelnent made some days since, of the probability of Prince Leopold being elected 10 the throne of Belgium. They all concur in stating that it has become practicable to 1 conclude such an amicable arrangement re- specting the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, as would enable his Royal Highness tu swear to the Constitution of the Belgians, and to main. tain the integrity of their kingdom. A dep utatiOn, consisting of five members of the l Congress, had already set out for London, for the purpose of acquiring more accurate information on this subject. The deputation was originally intended to consist only of Fe- lix de Merode, Villain QuatOrse, and the Ab- be Fore.
 l It is worthy of remark, as showing their great Iiberality, that the heads of the Catho- lie party in Belgium are highly favorable to Prince Leopold. The five members of the Congress who set out for London do not come armed with full powers from that as. sembly; but we have authority for stating, that three-fourtbs of the Congress are desi- rous that Prince Leopold should be their Sovereign.
 TURKEY. ..e- .. j. A combination against the Sultan, foru1ida- ble and dangerous, is, it appears, tn progress. The SilesiaD Gazette states that Mustapha Pacba had summoned all the principal inhab- itants of Scutari, and asked them whether they would. as men, yield to the Grand Vi- zier, OF prepare to fight for their liberty ?- They determined on the latter alternative, and are now actively preparing for the inn pending invasion.
 FRANCE.
 The King of the French made quite pa- cific speech at the propagation of the Cham bers. Paris appears to have been quite tram quil.
 On Wednesday the King set out on horse- back from the Palas Royal, m military uni form. and surrounded by Marshals, io the Chamber of Deputies, when he was met by deputation both Houses of Parliament. He took his seat on the throne with the Dukes of Orleans and NemOurs at each side, and pro- nounced the speech of propagation. He re- minded tho Parliament that eight months had passed since they. as organs of the nation, called him to pronounce VOWS of solemn i'm portance to govern justly, and according to the charter: these VOWS have since been the rule of the conduct. He gave history ofthe period Of the growth of the national guards and of the army, both which, he said, excell- ed in spirit and equipment those of any for mer period. Hespoke his gratitude and that of France to the Deputies for their patriotic work. which next session would continue and complete. He spoke of the crisis which fol- lowed, and said the country apprO. cd of the suppression of such disorders. Peace with Europe led him to hope for speedy diminu- tlon of the army. but tiil treaties were ratified France would preserve her attitude. He ex- pIained that the refusal of the Begic crown was dictated by the welfare of France. He had no fear Ol any event during the recess which patriots would not be ready to meet. The speech was followed with loud shouts of "Vive le Roi;" and the King. in his progress to and from the Chambers, was most ioyally greeted. In the Chamber of Peers on Tues day. the debate on the perpetual exclusion of the BOurbons. led to a three hours speech rom the Duke of Fitz James, which was re- Pested'y interrupted by ministers, and en- cOurNged by several peers.
