The list given as that of the new Sardinian Ministry
seems to have been framed not without reference to an idea ascribed to the new Premier of causing his Cabinet to represent the several Provinces of Northern Italy. Thus Signor Cassinis the Minister of Justice, a jurist of European repute, is a Piedmontese. Signor Elena, the Minister of Public Works, repre- sents Genoa. Signor Jacini, the Minister of Finance, a man, we believe, still young, and known for extensive studies and commanding talent, is a native of Lombardy. General Fanti the Minister of War, is from Mo- dena. Signor Mamiani, from the Romagna. And Count Cavour him- self, a Piedmontese, has lately been mentioned as a man who represents
Italy.—Globe.
It is not true that any Hungarian cavalry have deserted from the Austrians but it is true that secret agents who have been endeavouring to persuade them to desert have been arrested.
Some changes have been made in the French diplomatic body. The Moniteur of yesterday reports that— If. Adolph Barret, at present Ambassador at Madrid, will succeed M. Thouvenel at Constantinople ; the Due de Grammont, Ambassador at Rome, will replace M. Barret; the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne will be raised to the rank of Ambassador at the Papal Court ; M. de Belling, Chef du Cabi- net (private) under Count Walewski, will be chief of the financial depart- ment of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, replacing K. Armand Lefebvre, who is to return."
