The foreign news is not of great moment this week.
Italy is for the time the point of interest. Some would have had it believed that all was quiet in that quarter; but, while we learn from Italy itself that the disorder again defies concealment, we learn from the Times here in London, that Austria has probably by this time marched 4,000 troops to the relief of the Roman Government. The Times lectures Austria on the interest she has in promoting good government in Italy. Why, so have all the Italian rulers, if they knew but their own good ; which they are not likely to learn by helping them to gag the press of Europe. It will be seen whether Austria merely intends to continue the present state of Italy, a perennial smouldering revolution, or to strengthen her own rule by setting an example of improvement.
'Ike intelligence from other places suggests nothing for special notice From Spain, for instance, we have the miserable history of civil contest going on; from India, confirmation of quiet ; from China, confirmation of friendly relations unprecedented in the his- tory of the two empires.
