At a moment when all Europe is making maritime or military arraameats on a large scale , the Emperor was obliged to urovide by measures of political prudence for any emergencies . His Majesty retains in the present conjuncture entire liberty of action , and we hardly need add that he is animated only by the sentiment of the dignity of his crown , and the interests of the country . " The Dresden Journal , in reference to this denial says : — " Even if there be no definite offensive and defensive treaty between Russia and France , yet an arrangement may have been made with the object of preventing Austria from coming victorious but of the present conflict .

NAPLES . Tho Variations in the health of tho King , wo , are told , continue , but he is always going from better to
worse . It is said that a great part of the day ia passed almost in unconsciousness , oppressed as . his Majesty is by fever and by pain . Though his death is a certainty , and not a distant one , it is reported in some quarters that he is better , and is reviving by some celestial miracle . The Queen has assumed great influence , which is exercised in an Austrian sense , whilst the Hereditary Prince is kept more in the back ground . The Count of Syracuse still supports the interests of the constitutional party , and rumour says that the collision of opinion has been very strong between him and some members of the royal family . ___ Ti „ r . ^ iA ?* , < , * a nrcaf nart nf ^ ia
Rome. In The Tuscan Correspondence Of Th...
ROME . In the Tuscan correspondence of the Morning Herald , it is said , that-as soon as he heard what had taken place in Florence , Pio Nono immediately made preparations for starting for Vienna . The French ¦ general soon heard of what was going on at the Vatican , and waited upon his holiness , and politely put a stop to any idea le Saint Bere might have had that he was a free agent . He was assured he was perfectly safe , but if he liked to go to France he would be sure to meet with a magnificent reception at the hands of the eldest son of the Church . After a public demonstration in favour of the war of independence , the police have made arrests . A yet stronger and more outspoken demonstration , however , has constraine the Government to set the prisoners free , and permit any and every one that likes to hasten here and take part in the war .

Mr . Odo Russell presented Sir Moses Montefiore to the Cardinal , who received him with the utmost courtesy , but the application ended in disappointment . The Cardinal regarded the case as long closed ; , nothing could be done in it . Mortara should be well taken care of and educated , and his friends should have free access to him whenever they desired , and , on coming of age , he would be free to follow what course lie chose . So ended the interview .
Turkey. A Vienna Correspondent Says:—" T...
TURKEY . A Vienna correspondent says : — " The attention of the British public is at this moment so exclusively directed to Italy , that it would be vain to say much about Turkish matters , but you must permit me to observe en passant that we are on the eve of a . general rising in European Turkey- The Porte has about 120 , 000 men concentrated at Shumla , Sophia , & c , and Omar Pasha is coming as speedily as possible from Bagdad to the Turkish capital , but the Russo-French plan for the dismemberment of Turkey is a good one , and in all human probability the days of the Mussulmans in Europe are numbered . Bulgaria is , comparatively speaking , quiet , but the political agitation in the southern provinces of Turkey in Europe—Albania , Macedonia , Thesr saly , and Thrace—is exceedingly great . In Greece itself the ' patriots' openly declare that the moment for enlarging the kingdom has arrived . "
