garrison the Duchy, view with alarm the increase
Of their opponents These are encouraged oy the
Piedmontese ambassador. Their two organs In
the press are II Sdtmo and La Cons,lnzondle, the
ablest papers at Florence. The course Of the lat
ter paper has been 30 aggressive that the MINIS
ter ordered, two weeks ago, the editor, M. aqua
rove, to leave Tuscany In three days. The Pied
montese ambassador protested against this NO
lence The Grand Duke has sent for his Prime
Minister TO join him at Vienna. The pretext Tor
this IL consultation with the Austrian Govern
ment on the subject of railroad system for Italy.
The recent acts Of Piedmont show that the Cab
met Of King Emmanuel are trying TO conciliate
the democratic party of Italy Their internal and
external policy is marked with certain hberality
which differs widely from their acts Of last year
The Austrian governor Of Venice has just pub
lished proclamation, for the purpose as he says,
of granting the liberty of the press to the people
Everybody is to be at liberty to publish jour
nal. and the censure is abolished. The only
check the governor retains on the press is the
right to suspend one of them Immediately, for
any attack on the Austrian Government, army,
officers, administration, or for any political arti-
Gle whatever Of bad tendency The suspension
of the paper to be accompanied by the imprison-
ment Of the editor and publisher. But, the gov
ernor adds, as there are many articles which do
not directly attack the Government, but are of
bad tendency he reserves for such cases the right
of admonishing the offender. The admonition is
TO consist Of temporary suspension of the press,
fine, or imprisonment, or all three Of them to-
Venitans are not satisfied with the liberty of the
press, verify they are hard to please.
In speaking of Naples, forgot to mention the
demand made by the Count Of Moutemolin, the
pretender to the throne of Spain, of the HIND of
Carlotta, sister of the King of Naples. The
King agreed, but the ambassador of Spain pro-
tested, and the match has been broken of.
RUSSIA.
The celebrated painter, Horace Vernet, has
been on visit to St Petersburg, for the purpose Of
painting something for the Gar. Ontaking leave
Of him the mar made him present Of one hun
dred thousand dollars, with which M. Vernet has
returned to Paris quite satisfied with his trip.
The Grand Duchess of Russia has had made at
Paris a magnificent service OF silver plate. The
value IL stated in one of the Paris papers at one
hundred thousand pounds sterling. The good
days of royalty are evidently not over yet IN
Russia.
FOREIGN POLICY OF FRANCE.
The policy of Louis Bonaparte, for some time
past. has been to separate himself as much as pos
sible from the more liberal courts of Europe, and
to ally himself more closely with Russia and
Austria In pursuance of this policy, the late on
slaught was made on the English Ministry with
the intention to overthrow it, and secure Tory
Ministry in its stead 8
In this matter as in the affairs of Germany,
the Administration party in France begins to see
sht1 ss has made an error, ana was working for
the Gar rather than for the influence of their
own country. A Tory ministry in England would
be the ascendency of the Russian influence, and
not the French and recent events in Germany
show that while France has been inactive, the
Gar has contrived to render himself almost
dictator in the affairs of that country The Jour
nal des Debas raises the cry Of alarm, and points
out the dangers Of the further increase of Rus
sian influence in the west of Europe
ALGIERS.
The jealousies existing between the civil and
military governor of the province Of Oran has
come to a singular denouemem mentioned in
my last conspiracy said to have been discovered
at Oran, and the arrest of great many persons.
1t turns out to be nothing but charge made by
General Peisser against the Project, of favoring
liberal opinions The Project has been dismissed
by the Minister, and good number Of civil func.
tionaries arrested, but the whole affair will end
in smoke. w.
