The questions of the annexation of Savoy
to France and of Tuscany to Sardinia, were
the exciting topics of European politics.
The Sandman government, it is asserted, has
consented to the demand of France, to effect
the cession Of Savoy and Nice by a special
treaty to be made between France and Sar
DINA. The treaty will be followed by the
vote of the municipalities upon the question
of annexation, and the two contracting par
ties will afterwards repeat to the European
Powers the nature and motives of the terri
torial arrangements.
Sardinia cedes to France Savoy--to Mt.
Gents, and Nice to Villa Franco, thus plac-
ing all the passes of the Alps in the posses
sion of France.
AS regards the annexation of Tuscany to
Sardinia, M. THoRvENAL, the French For
eign Minister, in despatch to Count Ca
YOUR, states that France could not follow
Sardinia in such perilous course, and that
if VICTOR EMANUEL accepted the annexation
Of Tuscany, he would necessarily remain
exposed to the risks of such a policy, with.
out being able to reckon on the support Of
France.
On the 18th and 18th Of March. III.
inhabitants of the various States proposed
to be annexed to Sardinia voted upon the
proposition. The unanimity with which the
people supported the measure is amazing
The aggregate of the vote in Leghorn, Pisa
Florence, Bologna, Parma, Servia, and other
cities, provinces and states, as far as heard
from, was $4,000 for annexation to Sardi
MIA, and but $500 for separate kingdom.

question, which, as it concerns the integrity
of the Patrimony of st. Peter, is intimately
bound up with the independence of the
Church. Although decidedly regreting the
propositions to create a Vicarage of the
Romagna in favor of foreign Sovereign, his
Holiness, shows himself disposed to enter
into the path of reform, on condition that
the integrity of the States of the Church is
guaranteed.
NAPLEs.-The London Times published
a letter from Naples which stated that the
recent arrests there have been on scale
which even the late King would not have
attempted. Among those arrested are per.
SONS of moderate views; many are heads Of
families and engaged in business such
the order to quit the country is absolutely
ruin. Dismay and terror prevailed among
all classes. The government had been led
to its arbitrary acts by its apprehension OF
political climax from the election in Gen.
trail Italy. 1t is admitted that the exhibi.
ton of the national colors would be the cause
of an outbreak, and the government there.
fore thought it wise thing to get rid Of all
those considered likely to exercise any infu-
ence in such movement.
AUsTR1A-It is said that Austria, while
declaring her intention to remain neutral in
regard to the Savoy question, had assured
Prussia that in the event of the Rhine pro.
vinces ever been menaced, she would imme
diately unite with Prussia for the pro-
lection of the integrity of the German Ter.
