The "Molitor du Soir contradicts a statement made by the
three lead- ing Legitimist journals, that an appeal to the people was about to be made by the Napoleon party, and that the Councils-General are about to demand an immediate revision of the Constitution. The Monittor adds, that the Constitution is, for a certain period at least, the supreme law of Frain*, and to demand a revision before the day fixed would be not only a revolu- tionary act but a crime.
The French Government has received an account of the ratification of the treaty of peace concluded between Austria and Piedmont. The ques- tion of the amnesty had given rise to serious difficulty. The Ministers of the two Powers, however, had at length agreed as to the number of persons to be excepted. They amount to eighty-three, and comprise the names of the principal Milanese families.
Orders had been given to General Oudinot to return to France imme- diately, with a considerable portion of the troops under his orders. He is to leave at Rome and at Civita Vecchia not more than twelve or fifteen thousand men.
Letters from Rome, to the 10th, state that the city was still in great agi- tation. It was reported that the Pope had resolved not to return to Rome, but to visit Naples, Loretto, and Bologna, and make the latter place his residence for some time. The French troops would go to Albano, and the Pope would there thank them. The Government Commission of the three Cardinals had appointed the following Ministers—Bishop Savelli, Interior and Police; the Advocate Giansanti, Justice; Signor Galli, Finances. All the Ministers who served under Rossi refused to accept office unless the constitution were guaranteed.
