affairs there has been a good deal of talk in reference to an apprehended rupture between the King of Sardinia and the King of Naples , in consequence of the latter having kept possession of the Sardinian ship which the insurgents had seized upon at Genoa , and from which they made the descent upon the coasts of the Neapolitan dominions . There have also been some rumours of a reconciliation taking place between the Pope and King Victor Emmanuel . The Sultan
having , at the instigation of this country , consented to nullify the elections in the Danubian Principalities , the people there have been again called upon to exercise their franchise , the question at issue being whether those principalities should remain distinct as at present / or be fused into one government . The majority of the representatives who have been elected are in favour of the fusion , and thus Russia has made a step towards obtaining , by intrigue , that prize of which she was thwarted in the course of the Russian war . Ledra Rollin , Mazzini , Massarenti , and Campanella , have , in their absence , been tried before a French
criminal court , for a conspiracy to murder the emperor , and have been sentenced to deportation—a rather superfiuous punishment , as they have , under present circumstances , no wish to go to that country . There is some likelihood of the question of the Duchies again causing serious disturbances in the relations between the King of Denmark as a Scandinavian king and the Germanic diet , of which he is himself as a German duke , a member . The Bey of Tunis has , we hear , given a free constitution to his subjects , in which he does away with all political distinctions between the Mahommedans and the Jews .
