ITALY. PIEDMONT. TIAIIN, Arlin, IG. The official journal to-day publishes a memorandum from the Sardinian government relative to its difference with Austria on the subject of the decree of sequestiaticn. This memorandum refates the arguments of Count Buol Schauenstein and demonstrates that the decree of which Piedmont complains is a violation of existing treaties between Austria and Sardinia. The memorandum concludes in these words:  It is a grave attack, in regard to which we appeal to the better informed conicienee of the cabinet of Vienna, and in regard to which we also invoke the good offices of the sovereigns, oar allies end friends. A funeral service was celebrated on the 13th in the  Cathedral of Turin, in commemoration of the Piedmonteec who fell in the battle of Novara. Several ministers, senators, and deputies, were present at the ceremony. The Pieilmontese Gazette states from Bologna that three persons, named Conti, Zaal, and Borghi, were executed there on the 9th, as convicted of premeditated homicide from party spirit.  SOME, Arum 6. The perseverance with which foreign journals, and especially French ones, have asserted as a positive fact that the Pope will very soon repair to Paris, and that the steam line-of-battle-ship Napoleon is being prepared to receive and convey to Marseilles the august head of the church, may, perhaps, serve to arouse the northern public to an anxious expectation of such an unwonted event. Here, however, the ease is different, and the- Romans, thoroughly acquainted with the nature and policy of their government, laugh at the positive tone of the Parisian press on this subject, a tone which has, I understand, given not a little annoyance to the Cardinal Secretary of State, who has ever been one of the most determined opposers to:his Holiness making such a dangerous excursion. Indeed, his Eminence, a few days ago, assured a diplomatist here that there was not a word of truth in the accounts so industriously spread of the propositions and conditions made and assented to by the French and Papal governments, and that there was not the slightest probability that his Holiness would leave his own dominions at present. A glance at the state of affairs in the Papal court will convince your readers of the extreme danger which would menace the existing regime in Rome, if the Pope were to abandon the Vatican and be entirely subjected to French influence, even for a few weeks. It has been for some time evident that the master mind, the real ruling power in the Papal government, is Cardinal Antonelli' who governs under the influence and suggestions of the courts of Austria and Russia, the traditional enemies of France, and especially of the Napoleonic dynasty, thereby rendering French interests subservient, with the Holy See, to those of the northern powers. It would, therefore, be clearly the aim of the French government, if his Holiness went to France, to suggest to him such changes in his ministry as might give an ascendancy to French influence at Rome, to the prejudice of Austria and Russia, which could only be effected by the downfall of Cardinal Antonelh, nor is there much doubt that the susceptibility of Pio Nunn to new influences and arguments would lay him very open to the wishes of Napoleon 111. in this respect, if he were to be deprived for a few weeks of his usual advisers. Cardinal Antos nelli, as Secretary of State and real ruler of the Roman States, could hardly leave the scat of government to another, nor, on the contrary, could he trim* any one else to supply his place immediately about the Pope's person. His Eminence would be in the I difficult position described by Dante when requested by the Florentine republic to go as ambassador to Pope ltoniface
