FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
The AUSTRIANs IN ITALY.-A letter from Piacenza,
OF April 10, in the Unione of Turin says that the
concentration of Austrian troops upon the Sardnian
lrontler Is occasioning much remark. The Austrian
garrison OF Hlacenza in the Duchy of Parma, us con
tnually augmented, and detachment of500 men had
arrived that day. Their violence and insocnt bearing
continually excite the resentment and Indignation OF
the inhabitants An officer of the detachmentJu ar
rived choosed to lodge in the apartments belonging TO
the Marquis FilippO Anguissoa, who happened then
to be out oftown. The Austrian officer demanded the
Keys which the rdet de chdm5re OF the marquis re-
fused to give I'D to him. The doors were then
broken open, and the Austrian, in spite of all pro-
testatiOns, installed himself in the coveted abode.
More than hundred persons belonging to the city,
had been drawn together by the rumor of this out
rageous act but obliged to remain passive
lookerson at the invasion of their townsmans
dwelling. The Austrian general in command hav-
ing ordered the officer to be quartered there, the
order was put into execution bymilitary force, and
the mavor of Piacenza, finding that he could not
assert Parmese civic authority in opposition to Aus
trian bayonets Immediately resigned his office.
A SPANISH DUEL-We have received a letter from
Madrid, of the Sth inst, in which we read "a
duel was fought yesterday between NJ. Rios Rosas,
Minister of the Interior under ODonnell's govern
ment, and NJ. Ranas, editor of Diario EspanoI The
former, who is an irritable man, fancied that NJ
Ranas had spoken sarcastically of him in the cham
Der. On the house rising he called him to account
and in spite of the efforts of several deputies among
whom was Marshal Concha, meeting was decided
upon; NJ Rlos-Rosas chose for seconds NJ Verdugo
and Count de Cumbre Atlas, both members of the
Cortes M. Ranas was attended by NJ Alexander
Castro, the ambassador to Turin, and NJ Miranda,
deputy. The parties fought with sabres, in gar
zen belonging to NJ. Nerdugo, half league from
Madrid. NJ. Rios-Rosas, who is not an expert
swordsman, was wounded in four or five places but
the combat was put an end to without any serious
harm being DONE"
FANATICIsM AT TUNIs.-A correspondent of the
Meta Times, dating Tunis, April 5, saws: ga few

native as well as foreign population of Tunis by
the distribution of numerous written notices. in
Arabic, of an incendiary character, by fanatical
Dervish. These amiable documents called upon all
true believers to deliver this land Of infdels re-
minding them that the time was come when &C
cording to the prophecies the reign of righteous
ness was to cleanse their country from the
of infdelity. His sanctitv, the Dervish recon-
mended his brethren to spare none who refused to
believe in the true faith, and to exterminate with
fire and sword all such as resisted the doctrines of
the Prophet. Such are the people among whom we
live; this fanatcism is part of their nature and no
moral influence ever will change them. The con-
suls interfered to prevent all disturbances and at
present the appearance is that all cause for anxiety
has subsidized.
