sues the realization of the promises contain ed in

Some of the organic laws have already be- puo-

observe that our army, still necessary for the main
tenance of order at Rome, also necessary for
political influence; and thai, after having there
distinguished itself by its courage, il caused itself
to be admired by its discipline and moderation.
In different parts 10 which or diplom icy has had
to intervene il has noby maint aimed the dignity Of
France, and our allies have never in vain dem and
ed our support. Thus, in concert with England,
we have sent naval forces into lie Levant, in or
der to show our sincere sympathy for the indepen-
that Russia and Austria desired to encroach On it,
by demanding, in virtue of old tire lties the extra
dton of Hungarian and Polish subjects, who had
sought refuge in the Turkish territory. Owing to
the prudence which those powers displayed in the
egotiations, the rights of the Ottoman Empire
have been fully preserved.
In Greece, as soon we learned the forcible
means by which England supported her demands,
we intervened by our good Offices. France could
not remain Indifferent to the fate of nation to
whose independence she so much contributed she
did not hesitate TO offer her mediation. Notwith-

negotiations, we succeeded in allevating the con-
dtions IMPOSED on the Government of Athens, and
our relations with Great Britain Immediately re-
sumed their customary character.
In Spain we have seen with pleasure the ties
which united the two countries drawn closer by
the mutual sympathy of the two Governments. As
sooL as the French Government learned the criml-

we sent new forces to the Commander of the West
India station, with njunctions to unite his efforts
with those Of the Spanish authorities to prevent the
repetition of similar attacks.

This treaty, ratified first of all by the cabinet of
Berlin and its allies, has just been by Austria
and the powers represented in the Assembly of
Frankfort. Whilst these negotiations were being
carried on in Germany, the powers friendly to

The abuse Of literary and artistic piracy, which
has been too long tolerated, is the subject of nume
rous negotiations. Most of the cabinets to which
propositions of International ARRANGEMENTS for put

ceived them favorably, at east in principle. Sar-
