In debate, on the 18th instant, on the appropri-
atoms for the Department of Foreign Affairs, a
member entered the tribune for the purpose of ask
ing information concerning the disturbances in Por-

his call, and the Austrian domination be at once
crushed. But the Holy See would not confederate
with the house Of Savoy against the Austrians, its
protectors moreover, that house would dread the

Sandman monarch with seeming to encourage the
patriotic and liberal oracles, in order the better to
