The eyes of the Italian people have been
directed lately to this quarter of the pen
insu'a, by the unparalleled outrage against
the rights of Lat.ons, committed By Austria
a. Fefrara. It's well known that the cita-
del of that city has been, under the treaty OF
Vienna, garrisoncd by Austrian troops
Pecently, for no discov cradle reasons eX-
cept hostility to the pope, the garrison was
not only doubled, but a large body of,roops,
was collected on the left bank Of the Pc, in
the neighborhood Soon after this frivo-
lous, incident, probably intentionally pro-
duced by Austrian agents, was seized as
pretext for the military occupation of the
Town itself, by the Austrian troops. Their
commander, Count d'Auesperg, sent an Of
fcer, accompanied by some interiors, to the
Cardinal Lesate, TO inform him ofhis in
tention to send detachments TO occupy the
various guard houses and gates of the city.
Agans, this, the Cardinal protested in the
name of the Pope, but meanwhile entrea-
ted that the outrage should be postponed
TIL the following morning, to avoid the
chance of popular disturbance; this was per-
emptorily aud insolently refused, and i'm
media,ely the troops marched into the town
infantry, cavalry, and artillery, with mus
kets loaded, bayones fixed, and matches
lighted. The pontihcal troops driven from
the guard-houses and the gates, collected
around the place Of the Lega,e, and took
charge of the prisons, the only posts un-
occupied by the Aus,rians. While this
was proceeding, the guns Of the ctade!
were pointed on the town, and attended by
the gunners, with matches lighted. The
city of Ferlara has thus continued in vir-
tual state Of seige TO the present time.
The Austrian troops collected on tn,
left bank OF the Pc have been actively EN-
ployel in constructing bridges Of boats, b,
which at any moment they can pass the ri
yer with cavalry and artillery, and seize thu
papal territory,

The quarrel between Turkey and Greece
the origin Of which have explained in m,
former dispatches, is sill unsettled tn,
interposition Of Prince Meuernich, has beer
hitherto unavailing NJ. Coleui, tie prim,
Minister of King Ohio, refuses to max,
the required PREPARATION 10 the Envoy O.
the Porte, who hau been insul;ed by thu
King of Greece. Meanwhile, all diplo.
matte relations between the two countrie:
are suspended; consular authorities are
abolished, anu commerce is lhrown as i
we're, into trance, this mischief to both
countries is mainly ascrIbable to NJ Guizot
whose representatives at Athens ana Con-
stantlnople, have been i1s'ructed 10 srnpor,
M Co.cti in this affair, against the repre-.
sen.auves of the rest of Europe.
The English Government, has exercised
The power it possesses, Of showing practi-
caliy its dSaPprobation Of the course pur-
sued by the cabinet Of Athens; it mas de-
manded through its Minister there, the i'm
mediate payment Of the portion of the in.
'erests on the Greek loan due 70 England
and has supported its demand by portion
Of The Mediterranean squadron in the Pr
veus, NJ. EynaId, an enthusiastic Phil
lilene, came forward with quixotic gener-
os''y, and offered to lend the Greek govern
're", the funds necessary to pay the inter-
est claimed; namely 10000. This ofe
however; vas not accepted Immediately;
time rolled on, and on the LIST September
approached at which another payment Of
interest will become due; the amable pur-
pose Of NJ Eynard being to relieve Greece
from the pressure and threats OF her credi-
tors. would not, a, was evident, be attain
ed; II England should pres, as urgently for
The interest due in September, as for tia,
due III March. And it is accord.ogly ex-
Pected tina! NJ. Lynard will decline ma
king the payment, unless The English cabi-
net promises tim: for the interest falling
due on the lst September, which it most
assuredly will not do! What the issue of
this situation, will be, remains 10 be seen
