Leading men of the country are continually be-
ing seized and thrown into prison, or banished
from the country, without any form OF trial
Various attempts at rebellion, and raising the
tri-colored flag, have been made during the WIN
ter, but have been suppressed before they could
spread. A rebellion ofconsiderable Importance
has been going on since the first Of April, on the
Island of Sicily; but the reports are so contra
dctory that can give nothing for truth. The re-
ports from Turin and Genoa are that it is spread
ing, increasing in importance, and meeting with
some success. There are, also, rumors that
GARIDADI contemplates going to put himself at the
head Of the insurgents. These reports probably
originate frequently with the -Neapolitan exiles,
who are now very numerous and activein Sardinia
The news from Naplesi is, invariably, that the re-
beion is suppressed, and that all is quiet on the
Island. But, while this news comes from the
Capital, we have from the same place an account
Of the greatest excitement prevailing, and of
great bodies of troops being hurried off daily

was so quiet as reported. The latest news is
from Palermo, bearing date of the Oath Of April.
This is probably deserving of more credit, as it
comes neither from Neapolitan nor sardinian
source The statement is that all the towns ON
the coast, with but exception, are in the hands
of the royal troops, but that the insurgents have

It's manifest that VICTOR EMANUEL and Cav
OUR cannot yet interfere without danger; for
they have already gained so much that they are
accused of ambitious motives. There can be- no
doubt that public opinion in England is in favor
of the success of the Liberal party all over Italy,
but no power would be more backward in taking
up arms to defend that party. NAPOLEON is
certainly very desirous of having reforms in
the Roman States and Naples, such as would
satisfy the people, but it is, very clear that he
would not think it the interest of France to have
Sardinia farther aggrandized. If, then, she inter-
feres in the present difficulties, she may have
Austria to contend against in Lombsrdy, without
NAPOLEON to assist her. CAvouR seems to know
how great dangers still. lie in the way, too we'll,
to give any untimely encouragementto rebellion.
But it is now becoming very difficult to restrain
the more violent party, headed by the popular
partisan, GARIBALDI.
What has recently transpired in the Papal
States, is by no means such as Sardinia could
have desired The dissatisfaction in the terri.
tory of the Holy Father was continually becom-
ing greater; and at the time Victor Emanual
proclaimed Tuscany and Emilia partof his king
dom, it seemed impossible that the Papal rule
could be maintained much longer The city of
Rome itself, was only kept in order by the French
troops, who had frequently to perform the pain
full taste of suppressing the cry, " Nue Aalie! !
-Vive la France =! Viue Napoleon " When the
Holy Father rode out, instead of being met with
pleasing countenances by his people, his carriage
was surrounded by the hungry multitude calling
for bread. We may suppose that the old gentle
man was more attentive to his Latin prayers
then, than when rolling in luxury at the Vatican.
In this state Of affairs, Sardinia might very rea-
sonably suppose that the time was not far distant,
when Victor Emanuel would be proclaimed king,
by the people, with as much unnnimity as he
had been by the other provinces. Just at this
juncture, General Lamaricere; man who had
formerly occupied very high station in France,
and had special reputation for ability in organ
izing an army, was invited by the'Pope, to take
command of his troops. He has accepted, and
is now most actively engaged in the work Of re-
organizing and putting them on war footing
The voice Of rebellion seems. to be hushed for
the present. The Pope declares that he will not
now attempt to re-take his lost dominions; but
in the event of war arising, his troops discip-
lined and commanded by askillful French officer,
might be difficult to overcome: .. =
These are, the principal difficulties with which
the Sandman Government has to contend from
without; those ut home may prove even more
serious. She has now united into one kingdom,
various elements which, it is necessary, should
be consolidated Lombardy and Tuscany have
each as glorious q history as even Piedmont
Milan or Florence either, in position or impor-
tance, has greater claims for being the capital
of the kingdom, than Turin. 1t will require the
greatest care and wisdom to prevent Jealousy
and discontentSfrom arising in the various pro-
vinces Now, all goes on very smoothly, because
external danger unites them; but once this is re-
moved, we can have no assurance that it will not
spring up at home. Indeed, it seems already to
have been seen in the distance for the king said
at Florence, few days ago, that the dangers
and difficulties were even greater than they had
anticipated. When once this work Of consolida-
ton has been completed, Sardnia.will be strong
enough to resist foreign influence; and Italy
may take that position among the nations Of the
earth, which. her glorious history, her rich and
beautiful Literature, her favorable Geographical
position, her fine climate and her fertile soi all
require that she should hold.
When we leave the italian question, we leave
what has been for more than year, the leading
topic of discussion in Europe. Others are not
of so much interest Spain, as you know, has
concluded her unjust war with Morocco, and now
the treaty has. been signed. 1t has been very
expensive both in men and money; but she is
partly recompeused for the latter, by consider
able sum which Morocco is to pay, and small
slip Of territory along the Riff coast. She will
probably consider herself recompensed for the
former by the glory she has gained, Of triumph
inp over nm unciylized foe. We had scarcely
