LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE.


Thouvenal points out the essential difference
which exists between the annexation of Tus-
cany to Piedmont and that of Savoy to France,
and SAYS that the principal difficulty is to OBJ
tain its recognition by Europe which has guar
antied the possession of Tuscany to the dy
nasty of Lorraine. This difficulty disappears
in the arrangement between France and Sar
dinia relative to the spontaneous cesslon OF Sa-
voy; consequently the emperor requests reg
uation of the question of Savoy by mutual
consent, and without having recourse to uni
versal suffrage. Thouvenal thinks that, to
become acquainted with the wish OF the coun-
try, it would suffice TO consult the municipal
ties of Savoy AS regards the annexation of
Tuscany, Thouvenal repeats that France could
not follow Piedmont in her perilous course. II
Victor Emmanuel accepts the annexation of
Tuscany, he would necessarily remain ex
posed to the risks of SUCH policy, without be-
ing able to reckon on the support of France.

Duchies and Central Italy, the voting on the

The PoPE AND CENTRAL ITALY.-The re-
ply of the Holy See to the last proposals OF
France. has reached Paris. The pope declines
the proposition to confne within an exclusive
political compass question which, as it con-
Germs the integrity of the patrimony of st.
Peter, is intimately bound up with the inde-
pendence of the church, Although decidedly
rejecting the proposition to create Vcarite
of Romagna in favor of the former sovereigns,
his holiness shows himself disposed to enter
into the path of reform, on condition that the
integrity of the states of the church is guaran-
tied. The Paris correspondent of the London
Times gives report that bulls Of excommuni-
cation against Victor Emmanuel, were ready
to be launched from Rome the moment the
election in Central Italy was decided.
The SAVOY QUEsTIoN.-Proclamat by
the governors of Savoy were posted up in all
the parishes of that country, notifying that
the inhabitants will soon be called upon to vote
upon the question of the maintenance of union
with Sardinia, or annexation to France, ac-
cording to the form prescribed by parliament.
The London Telegraph positively affirms that
an oral and confidential request has been made
to England to join with Prussia and Russia in
protesting against the alienation of Savoy from
Sardinia. 1t is stated that England supports
the demand of Sardinia to ascertain the wishes
of the people of Savoy and Nice by universal
suffrage. The Sandman government, it is
asserted, has assented to the demand of France
to effect the cession of Savoy and Nice by a
special treaty to be made between France and
Sardinia. The treaty will be followed by the
vote of the municipality, and the two con-
tracing parties will afterwards report TO the
European powers the nature and motives of
the territorial arrangements between them.
By this arrangement Sardinia cedes to France
Savoy as far as Mount Gents, and Nice as far
as Villafranca. Thus all the passes of the
Alps will be possessed by France.
VARIOUS MATTERs.-The municipality of
Milan has unanimously adopted an address to
the king, expressing the devotion of the coun-
try to his majesty, and their confidence in the
line of policy pursued by the king in reference
to Central Italy The municipality further
state their resolution to support such policy,
and, as token of their firm resolution, they
offer to the king 100000 francs. The munic-
ipality of Lodi were preparing to take similar
resolutions. Other adhesions were expected.
The Military Gazette, of Turin, states that
tho 1rhoIo 4 rJi ioia &c ,Nr6arod To, ba
placed upon war footing by the first of April,
and that Piedmont is about to secure number
of rifle barrels from English arsenals. And the
Paris correspondent of the London Post
writes :-"The French government, | have
every reason to believe, has sent a telegraphic
despatch to the French army in Italy request
ing the commander.in-chief to be ready to
evacuate Italy within twenty hours, and yet
do not believe the emperor will withdraw the
troops, even if the inhabitants of Central
Italy vote for annexation" The same
authority asserts that the foreign relations of
France were silently undergoing great
change, and Austrian influences were i'll the
ascendant.
The DEsPoTIsM IN NAPLEs.-The London
Times publishes letter from Naples which
states that the recent arrests there have been
on a scale which even the late king would not
have attempted. Among the persons arrested
are those OF the most moderate views, including
many heads Of families, and many engaged in
business for whom the order to quit the coun,
try is absolute ruin Dismay and terror pre-
vail among every class. The government had
been led to its arbitrary acts by apprehensions
of political climax from the elections in Cen
trail Italy. 1t is admitted that the national CO.
lous would be with an outbreak, and the gov
ernment therefore thought it a wise thing to
get rid of all those considered likely to exer-
else any influence in such movement.
GREAT BRITAIN-The following are the
principal items Of interest from England In
the House of Lords on the 18th, notice was
received from the House of Commons that
they had agreed to address the Crown on the
subject of the commercial treaty with France
whereupon Lord Taunton gave notice that he
would move similar address from the House
of Lords on the 10Th. In the House of Com.
mons, on the 18th, Lord John Russell said, in
reply to inquiries, great deal of correspond
ence had taken place with Naples, relative to
the constitutional reforms recommended by
England and France and in a few days he
hoped to lay it on the table. A general dis
cussion then took place on the Savoy question
in the course Of which Lords Palmerston and
John Russell deprecated the continued recur.
renee OF these irritating debates and urged
the opposition-if any objected to the course
OF the government-to boldly move vote OF
censure, when the ministers would be fully
prepared to defend their cause. In the House
Of Commons, on the 18th, Lord John Russell
laid upon the table further correspondence re
lating to the affairs of Italy, and explained the
attitude of the government both as regards 1t
ally and Savoy. He asserted that hostility haC
all along been shown to the contemplated an
nexation OF Savoy to France, and that, as re
| CARDS Italy, the policy of the government wa
dictated by the sole desire of securing a per
manent peace to that country.
