Os eof those paragraphs in which fashionable tattle and political solemnity are curiously mingled, announced a few days since, with a nervous flutter, the " sudden " return of the Foitelow MINISTER from the Wicklow mountains to Rich mond Park. The noble lord's precipitate re turn from Ireland was said to be occa sioned by " urgent despatches relating to Italy " which require his immediate presence in " London." In what degree this ingenious hypothesis was founded on fact, or whether a re markable coincidence was ilexteronaly turned by the chronicler into a consequence, it is not our province to inquire. Without, however, pretend ing to any exclusive information, or hazarding any audacious conjecture, we may venture to assume, as at least an antecedent probability, that the pre sent alarming state of affairs in Southern Italy engages the most anxious attention of her MA oesrv's Government. It would be strange indeed' if a government which has given so many proofs of disinterested friendship for Italy, and so faith fully and earnestly represented the sympathies of the English people for that noble nation, should regard with indifference the goodly work of Italian unity and independence shattered by revolutionary violence, or mined by foreign intrigue. The British Government has the clearest right and duty to give adequate and authoritative expression to the senti ments of the people of this country on a question which, more than any other since the Peace of Paris, has taken possession of the national mind, and the settlement of which concerns the peace and the liberties of Europe. That the Emperor NAvoteos should treat Italian affairs as his own exclusive and privileged domain is a pre sumption which England can never admit without abandoning her position' as a great Power, and as the chief Liberal Power in the world. Whatever domestic differences may have arisen between the Liberal party and Lord PALMERSTON'S government, the Italian policy of the present Ad ministration has deserved the perfect confidence of all who have the welfare of Italy and the honour of England at heart. Such a policy is the surest safe guard against the return of the Toriesto power. Much will be forgiven to a Government which has made the cause of Italy its own. There is a school no doubt ' of " positive" politicians to whom this sympathy for Italy is foolishness ; who sneer at moral forces, and are content to prosper, and give thanks for their own blessing and the wants of others, with Pharisaic satisfaction. It is enough for these complacent critics to know that English liberty is some two hundred years in advance of these contemporary peoples,whose impatience is • nuisance scarcely worthy of contemptuous com passion. Such is not the theory of the English people, nor is it the rule of action of a Liberal government. Could we shut ourselves up in these little islands and bound our human interests by the narrow seas, it might be convenient to treat conti nental politics as if France and Italy were comets rushing through immeasurable space. But this is impossible. England cannot cancel her past, abdicate her present, or renounce her future. Nor can the free press of England be content to re gister with indifferent approval the fact of France and Austria overrunning Italy, and Signor RAT TAZZI smiling blandly upon both. Liberal England has an arrear of wrong to atone for towards Italy. Tory England secured the Two Sicilies to the Botraeosis, and co-operated in the restoration of the Temporal Power. Tory England established Austrian domination in Lom bardy and Venice, and Austrian influence in Central Italy. Tory England, on the other band, handed over Genoa to the House of Savoy. Shall it be said that the Government of Liberal England is to stand aloof, when the Temporal Power is a curse to Italy and an incessant peril to the peace of Europe, when the independence of Southern Italy is threatened at once by a French army and a French fleet, when the Government of twenty-three millions of Italians is the abject dependant and accomplice of a new NAPOLEON, who has already given notice that Genoa, the hot bed of revolution, must be " reduced " ? The outbreak of civil war in Italy, if an irre sponsible national movement towards Rome is to be called by that fatal name, is in any point of view • deplorable and disastrous event. What ever may be our sympathies, whatever the justifi cation, whatever the motive ; the responsibility of dividing a State against itself, and taking arms against • responsible Government, is too great for any citizen, however disinterested and devoted, to assume without reproach. Never was • nobler or a purer :sword drawn in the cause of Revolution than the sword of GARIBALDI. But it is Revolution, and in a constitutional country, represented by a free Parliament, Revolution is without excuse. It is even without a principle ; for Rome, the capital of Italy, is an object, not • prin ciple. Italy wants rest, security, organization, development of all her forces. Civil war in her midst makes all her open and secret foes rejoice, and confounds her firmest friends. These are truisms. And it is not to be supposed that the British Government will waste time or words in condemning the criminality of civil war, or in writing pithy sermons on the right or wrong of Revolution. The British people are not paying thirty millions a year foe "moral force" to lecture GARIBALDI or to snub a RArrszzi. Unless England is prepared to strike her flag, pay off her fleets, silence her Parliament and press, and sink to the condition of a waiter upon the Second Providence of France, her voice will now be heard where the voice of truth and honour is seldom heard ; and the voice of England is resolute as liberty, clear as justice, calm as con scious strength. England has fought no battles for Italy, and has claimed no provinces. It was for the First NAPOLEON'S glory that one hundred and fifty thousand Italian soldiers perished on battle-fields, and to feed the armies of the French Empire that sixty millions sterling were wrung from the cities and provinces of Italy. When French Imperialists prate of gratitude, they would do well to remember the other side of the account. Indeed, the vigorous and versatile policy of the Emperor NAPoucoN since the peace of Vil lafranca has drained the gratitude of Italy to the dregs ; and the result of all the turnings and windings of that " inscrutable will " before which all the valethood of Europe bows down, is that at the present moment the Imperial Government has not a friend, we do not say an agent, in all Italy. A communication from Turin, which we publish this morning, deserving all the confidence of our readers, verifies the fact which all our private cor respondence confirms, that throughout Italy the alliance of the French EMPEROR is borne with a sullen and suspicious endurance. M. Rerrazzes Ministry is a department of the Empire ; but M. Rarrezzi's ministerial labours are closing in discomfiture, extinguished by the compliments of his patron in Paris. It is to England that all honest men of all parties in Italy now look for an issue out of present troubles. GARIBALDI himself believes with all his heart in the sincerity of English coun sels and English sympathies. We have reason to believe that upon one word from England Gartuw.rn would even now lay down his arms. But that one word must be a positive assurance through the British Government that at a given date the French troops will leave Rome. In reply to this assurance, GARIBALDI would not hesitate to guarantee that the person of the HOLY FATHER and his spiritual independence shall be respected. But the question for the moment is, can such an assurance be given or obtained? If the future of Italy, perhaps of the Imperial dynasty in France, is not to be abandoned to incalculable misfortunes, if the alliance of France and England is not a mockery, the British Government cannot ascertain too soon the positive intentions of the Emperor NAPOLEON. Irk Court. BALMORAL, Auourr 27. Yesterday being the anniversary of the birthday of the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales came from Birk hall to pass the morning with her Majesty, who drove out in the afternoon accompanied by the royal family. The Queen will hold a Privy Council to-morrow (Satur day) at Windsor Castle. HER MAJ kir SOUTHWARD JOURNEY.—The Queen and royal family in their journey southward to•day will proceed by way of Greenhill and Carlisle. Since her sad bereavement, her Majesty has made two journeys to Bal moral, but has in each instance passed over Holyrood, which was annually, for many years, her resting-place on the way, and where only ten months ago she spent a day, on the occasion of the Prince Consort laying the foundation stone of two public buildings here. The royal train is to leave Aboyne at 2.30 p.m., pass Aberdeen at 3.37, and reach Perth at 6.17, where half an hour will be allowed for refreshments. The train is timed to pass Greenhill at 8.7 and leave Carlisle at 11.25, after a stoppage for fifteen minutes for ref reshmenti. It will thereafter pass Preston junction at 141 a.m., Bushbury ;at 4.50, and reach Wind sor at B.3s—making a runway journey, including stoppages, of 13 hours. As at present arranged, the baptism of the re cently-born eon of the Crown Prince and Crown Princes, of Prunia will take place at the new palace at Potsdam on the 7th of September. Dom Miguel de Braganca (ex-King of Portugal) wag present last night at the Royal English Opera, Covent garden, attended by his suite. Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia, attended by Prince Galitzin, Count Tolstoy, and two ladies of honour, have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from St. Petersburg. His Imperial Highness the Duke of Leuchten berg has arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from St. Leonard's. His Highness the Prince Boris Galitzin has arrived at Long's HoteL Prince and Princess Serge Gagarine, Count and Countess Shouvaloff, Prime Tronbetakoy, and Count Pishlen have 'strived at Claridge's Hotel from St. Leonard's on Sea. Lord and Lady Stourton have left Brown's Hotel for the Isle of Wight. A marriage Is arranged to take place shortly between Captain Norton, of the Grenadier Guards, son and heir of the Hon. Mrs. James Norton. of Anninpby Park, Panetta and Vateaery, and the late Hon. and Rev. James Norton, younger brother of Lord Grantley, and Miss Lowndes Stone, the granddaughter and heiress of the late Mr. William Fran•:is Lowndes Stone, of Brightwell Park, Oxon, and Buckinghamshire. The marriage of Lely Harriett North, eldest daughter of the late E irl of Guilford, with Colonel Warde, eldest eon of Admiral Warde, 101 Squerreys Court, Kent, was solemnised yesterday at St. George's Church, Hanover square. Yesterday Manockjee Cursetjee, of Bombay, accompanied by his two daughters and a lady friend, visited Liverpool and lunched with the mayor. In the afternoon Mr. Cursetjee and family, accompanied by Mr. Patrick Hunter, of the firm of Browne, Hunter, and Co., visited Horsfall Foundry, the Wapping Dock, St. Georges-ball, Arc. The third convers iziouo of the Society of Arts daring the present P 6.1800 will take place at the South Kensington Museum on the Bth October. The delivery of the medals and certificates of honourable mention to the exhibitors cannot take place till after the close of the Exhibition, when it will be made at a public ceremony in the building, to which will be admitted the holders of all daises of season tickets (except those for shilling days), and the public oa payment of 11. each. Great satisfaction is felt in Jamaica at the laurels which the colony has won at the International Exhibition, intelligence having bum received that no fewer than seventy medals have bean awarded to contributors from the island, besides sixty•four marks of "honourable mention.' In • private letter from Governor Darling, who was one of the Jamaica Commissioners at the Exhibition, he expresses his hope that "the Exhibition will do something for Jamaica." The Murgenblatt says that at the next Storthing • motion will be submitted for the alteration of the Nor wegian constitution, which provides that only the Crown Prises or his eldest son ran be viceroy. As the reigning King, Charles XV., has no son, there is, by consequence, no Crown Prince of the united kingdoms ; for Prince Oscar is hereditary prince, and as such cannot be appointed vice roy. By the alteration proposed in the constitution, the words "Crown Prince" will be altered to "the next prioze in enaccesion," and if the proposition is carried, as is ex pected, Prima Oscar will in all probability be Dominated viceroy. Prince Adalbert of Prunsia arrived at Toulon on Saturday last, coming from Marseilles. The prince was waited cc by the authorities, and be afterwards visited the ships in the roads, accompanied by the Maritime Prefect, Admiral Chairman, and by Admiral Fare la Maturate, Major of the Fleet.

ITALY. 1 The Italian journals received this morning de scribe the agitation which prevails in every part of the kingdom as excessive. Many el the details which they narrate have not hitherto been made known. The following is the account given by the official Gazette of Turin of Garibaldra de parture from Catania : _ _ In the evening of the 24th Garibaldi took nasiesion of two postal steamers in Catania harbour, and embarked on board them with a portion of his volunteers, leaving, how -1 ever, the main body behind. Ho was discontented and discouraged because the population did not show itself favourable, and supplied him neither with aid nor money, and all the notable persons had left. Two Italian frig►tes, the Vittorio-Emmannele and the Duos di Genoa, were that same evening in Catania. The government is not yet minutely informed of the circumstances which prevented those two frigates from stopping Garibaldi on his passage, after the precise and absolute orders which had been given to that effect. The Minister of Mune having arrived at Messina on the following day, immediately ordered the com mandant., of those two frigates to be arrested and seat to Genoa to be tried by court-martial. The government is re solved to act with the greatest severity towards those who may be guilty of transgressing their cordon. Yesterday morning (25th) the troops immediately occupied the town of Catania, and made prisoners about 800 volunteers, who had been unable to disband. Consequently the authority of the King is reestablished at Catania, as well as all over the island. From intelligence received from Naples and Reggio Garibaldi appears to have landed at Melito, near Reggio, in Cslabria, this morning (2Gth). We learn that he is still there. The proclamation of General Lsmarmora to the Neapolitans, declaring a state of siege, is as follows : Has= of the Neapolitan provinces —Some factious people, affiliated to • met fatal to Italy, violating the fun damental statutes of ,the kingdom, despising the orders of the King and the wishes of parliament, have succeeded, under the pretext of hastening the accomplishment of the destinies of the country, in kindling the flames of civil war in Sicily. Garibaldi, their chief, after having unfurled the standard of revolt, compromised a patriotic, rich, and populous city, and abandoned the young inexperienced men whom he had misled into becoming his followers, has thrown himself upon the continent, and threatens your provinces with the horrors of anarchy. The sacred duty devolves upon the government to preserve the country from such a catastrophe, to save the rights of the crown, and to oppose itself to that which would compromise the principles coda crated by the statutes and the plebiscite. Thus it does not hesitate to take exceptional measures for the repression of the revolt. Consequently, the Neapolitan provinces are declared in • state of siege. The generals command ng the military divisions are invested with civil and military powers. Every factious assemblage will be dispersed by force. The sale and con cealment of arms are forbidden under penalty of arrest. No publication or distribution of writings or letter-press can take place without previous authorisation. Citizens! These measures, temporary and exceptional, will not prevent justice from following its regular course, and will in no way impede the progress of public affairs ; they will only affect conspirators and agi tators who have ,hitherto too much abused our liberal iestitutious. I doubt not that the National Guard will perceive that its mission becomes more exalted as the position of the country becomes graver. It will, lam certain, fulfil its duty with the unalterable devotion of which it has given so many proofs. I have a firm confidence that you will be persuaded with me that in the unhappy circumstances in which we find ourselves, the only means of averting danger is for all of us to unite to attain the ob ject to which all Italians aspire. General Cialdini has had a conference at Naples with General Lamarmora, and one account sap that "they have taken opportune measures toge ther to destroy, in the briefest possible time, every germ of revolt." A letter from Naples, in the Salut Public of Lyons, describes as follows the feeling of the army : I know a great number of soldiers, and I have asked them, " Would you fight against Garibaldi if called to do so r All hesitate and at last reply : " There will be no occasion." This spirit of hesitation prevailing in the army, it can never act with vigour. As to the people (I mean the middle class) and the National Guard there is no hesitation at all. The officers were assembled yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining what their bearing would be in case the state of siege should be declared at Naples. It was not thought advisa ble to ask them in direct terms whether they would 'act against Garibaldi, they were merely ►ddressed on the neces sity of maintaining order and preventing the 13ourbonist party from taking advantage of any troubles that, might ensue. A letter from Loretta, in the Co rrespomf awe de Rome, says : On the first Sunday of this mouth we suddenly saw the tricoloured flag displayed at the office of the telegraph, at the royal Palace, and at the Commune. What bad taken place" The disaffected immediately spread the report that Garibaldi had entered Rome, and summoned the inhabi tants to decorate their: windows with the revolutionary flag. Priests, and men known for their attachment to the sovereign pontiff, were insulted and told that it was all over with them. But when the proclamation of King Victor Emmanuel, countersigned by his nil sisters, was posted up, the aspect of the town suddenly changed ; the flags were precipitately withdrawn ; cries were raised of " Long live Garibaldi," " Death to Rattazzi," "Down with Emmanuel," and, in short, we had • striking proof of the value to be attached to the famous plebiscite drawn up • few months since in these words, " We will have annexation to the constitutional kingdom of Victor Emmanuel and of his dynasty." In spite of the King's proclamation, the police gave pusports to the Garibaldian volunteers, and a few night. ago I myself saw a hundred of them leave Ancona on board a vessel bearing the Italian fiat. The order of the day of Garibaldi to the partisans of Fienzza has been everywhere posted up, and the Carabineers have been forbidden, under pain of death, to take them down. As a sign, in its way, of the excited state of the public mind, we may state that two duels have taken place within an hour at Milan, between two writers in the Mazzinian paper the Unita Banana, and a writer in an opposition paper and an officer. In the duel in which the officer fought, the jour nalist was very severely wounded. According to letters from Rome in the Temps, General Montebello and the French officers in that city are furious at the speeches and proclamations of Garibaldi ; but K de Lavalette, the diplomatic representative, maintains his ordinary reserve. The letters from Venice are fuller than ever of accounts of arrests and domiciliary police visits. Forty working men and several members of the middle classes have been thrown into prison. The French squadron of evolution which has left Ajaccio for the Bay of Naples, consists of six steam frigates, viz.— La Bretagne, L'Algtlairas, Donawerth, Alexandre, Redontable, and Castig lione ; the steam-corvette Caton ; and the brig Janus. " One of these ships (says La Presse) has been sent to Sicily." TURKEY. The Lertint Herald of the 20th describes at con siderable length the proceedings attending the arrival of the Italian princes at Constantinople. At the Imperial Palace "the Sultan warmly shook bands with their royal highnesses and inquired with interest after their father." At a later hour his Imperial Majesty, accompanied by the Grand Vizier, the Capitan Feats, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs returned the visit of their royal highnoises at the Italian Legation. The Sultan, on descending from his carriage, was met by the princes. His Majesty took them by the hand, and on arriving in the salon sat down with one on each side, entering into conversation with them. On the Mat, the princes were to visit the cemetery at Yeni-K , ll, where repose the ashes of the brave Italian soldiers who fell during the Crimean war. luarna's TzLzolums.) REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN SPAIN. MADRID. Ammer 29. The following official statement has been pub lished :—The government is actively watching certain evil-disposed efforts, the object of which is to disturb public order. Measures have been taken for the prompt repression of any outbreak. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, Ammer 29. The Cambrian, with the Cape mail, arrived here this morning, having been delayed by N.E. winds. She left the Cape on the 22nd, St. Helena 31st ult., Ascension 4th, and Vign 26th inst. She brings 71 paskiengers. At the Cape a bill for the annexation of British Kaffraris had been introduced by the government but was rejected by 19 to 14. A resolution, moved by the Colonial Secretary, to hold the parliament alternately in the Eastern and Western Provinces, was also lost. The Crown Lands Fund Bill was so mutilated in committee that the government abandoned it. A bill for securing the payment of an annual sub sidy towards the line of mail steamers to England had passed both houses. A bill for doubling the rate of ocean postage was lost in committee. Resolutions in favour of • separation of the provinces were lost in both houses by narrow majorities. The Usury Bill was rejected by a largo ma jority. The Legislative Council has passed a vote of censure on the home authorities for the recent changes in the distribution of troops in the colony. Pretorius' application to have a share of the customs dues collected at the colonial ports on account of goods passing through the colony to the republic had been refused. The Legislative Council was, however, in favour of granting a subsidy to the free state border police. A dispute had arisen between the engineers as to whether the new railways should be cheap light lines at a low rate of speed or substantial dear lines, equal to the best English railways. The weather on the coast had been very stormy. Many vessels had put into port in distress. The Prussian barque Johanna Wagner was wrecked at Simon's Bay ou the 15th ult. The ship Perekop, from Swan River to London, was aban doned near Struy's Bay on the 14th ult. The Table Bay breakwater works stood the severe test excellently. The Euryalus left the Cape on the 21st ult. for China. The mail steamer Dane arrived out on the 15th ult. The Norman passed Ascension on the 29th. The money market was tight, but discount had not advanced. Considerable difficulty was ex perienced in getting money on mortgage. There was not much improvement in trade. CANADA. GREENOCK, down 28. The steamer St. George, from Quebec, arrived here this morning with 37 passengers and a full cargo. The Paris correspondent of the Independamre Beige says :—" Much is said about the influences which are being exerted on behalf of the papacy. You know them. It is oven said that the Empress, whose pious sympathies are no secret to anyone, hits borrowed the expremion of the Garibaldians, ' Rome or death,' applying it, however, in a contrary sense. This is probably the prating of courtier,,, for it is difficult to conceive that the Empress would form a personal resolution when the necessities of policy and the wishes of the country might induce the Emperor to accord the solution so much desired, and now become im perative, of difficulties which otherwise threaten the peace of Europe as well as the enterprise of Garibaldi." M. Godard, the French aeronaut, has just con structed a new balloon of 4,300 cubic metres, which can be inflated in 30 minutes by the aeronaut, in which (says Caliplane) gas is dispensed with. The car is also provided with an apparatus which "enables the balloon to ascend and descend without the necessity of carrying ballast." This balloon, intended for the army, of which Y. Godard is aeronaut-in-chief, will be tried on Sunday next for the second time. In the Grand Steeplechase Handicap which has just taken place at Dieppe, Cassidy, the rider of Church. Langton, was thrown at the kook the furthest from the stands, unfortunately breaking his collarbone. The animal, however, continued the race, following the track of the other horses, and reserving, as be hal been trained to do, his strength for the final struggle ; then, when nearing the winning -post, he shot ahead, coming in first amid the ap plause of the spectators. A letter from China, in the Semaphore of Mar seilles, says :—" The legation of France has received a com munication from Prince Kong, offering, in the name of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, to the widow of the un fortunate Admiral Protet, who was killed whilst fighting the Taapings under the walls of Hang-chow, 100 sable skins, and some rolls of embroidered silk from the Emperor's stores. In addition to this a decree will confer titles of nobility on the family of the admiral, and two catholic churches be built at the expense of the Chinese government, one at Shaoghae, and the other on the spot where the admi ral fell." A few days since a passenger on his way to Holyhead went on board the Munster mail steamer at Kingstown. Feeling unusually cold, when trying to ascer tain the reuse, he found one of the legs of his trousers rut open. This had been done by a pickpocket while he was getting his luggage on board. The object of the operator was to let the purse drop out. In this he failed, but he managed 63 expertly as to escape detection, and probably he was looking on amused at the awkward predicament of his intended victim as to his dress. A project for a new canal to run through the south of Holstein, from the mouth of the Elbe to the little bay of Neuetadt, and thereby rendering it possible for large ships to pass at once from the North Sea into the Baltic, is now being taken up with some promise of success. A dangerous voyage of at least :1.50 sea miles will thereby be avoided. The voyage, indeed, round the peninsula of Jutland is one of the most dangerous which a ship can undertake. An American company has originated the peoject. " ' • ... . - A year ago a column in commemoration of the invasion of England by William the Conqueror was in►ugu rated on a cliff separating Dives from the Valley of Bueze rid, from which spot the Norman army of 60,000 men de parted in 3,000 vessels. On Sunday last, the anniversary of the above inauguration, a meeting of French and English archaeologists was held at the foot of the column, from whence they proceeded to the small Roman church of Dives to witness the uncovering of the list of the companions of William the Norman, which has been inscribed over the principal entrant,. CASZ or POIBONINC, lie FRANCE—The Court of Arises of the Rhboe concluded, at a late hoer on Wildman day evening, the trial of the woman Fevre, ber husband, and brother-in-law, charged with poisoning Crtpio, the no torious miser of Lyons. The evidence fully proved the guilt of all the prisoners. After the wretched man bad made his will, bequeathing all his property to the woman Fevre, she was anxious to get rid of him as soon as possible, and scoordiogly began to dose him daily with strong infu sions of poppy-beads and petiole, or hedge-hyssop. In this she was actively aided by her husband and her brother in-law, Chore!, who procured dnigs for her, and assisted her in keeping away the old man's relations. But when bar end was accomplished, and she bad come into possass t on of all Cripin's property, she was unwilling to fufgl the promise she had made to Chorel of giving him 100,0006,. Incensed at this treatment, he openly threatened to be revenged, and these menaces led to the arrest of all the guilty parties. The prisoners were ably defended by M. Jules Fevre and other counsel, but they strove in vain against overwhelming evidence. The jury having brought in a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners, the court sentenced the female prisoner and Chore! to 12 years' bard labour, and Fevre to Ave yaws' imprisonment. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nob ODE OWE PARIS, THULYDAY EVENING. The Anglophobista were very unwilling to give up their belief in the alleged fact that Garibaldi bad crossed to Melito in an English vessel. This morning the Moniteur itself puts the saddle on the right horse, by stating that the vessel was the General Abbatucci, belonging to the French Valery Company, adding that this steamer had been for cibly detained for two days in Catania. We know also upon the authority of the official organ that the French squadron, under Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, is ordered to Naples. A natu ral consequence is the ordering of Admiral Mundy's fleet, announced this afternoon, to the same station. In fact the question, " What will England do 1" is now beginning to be heard on all sides. I mention, as one among many on dits, the statement that your government has—if not form ally, at least officienaement—notified to that of the Emperor its intention to follow up the occupation of any portion of the territory of South Italy by a similar step on some part of Sicily. I find my intimation as tothe military origin of the famous note in the Moniteur borne out by theopinion of a correspondent of the Indelpendance. There is no doubt that Chauvinism is becoming the order of the day, and it is likely that such addresses an those of M. Latour-Dumoulin would find a ready response in the French army. "Italian ingrati tude" is a favourite theme here, and is a subject not difficult to embroider for military purposes. I have occasionally asked the question, " Would French soldiers hesitate to fire upon Italian patriots ?" " They have not hesitated," has been the reply, "to fire upon French patriot, when such was their consigns." But what a frightful inconsistency would be the sending (and such inten tion is whispered) the Duo de Magenta in command of the corps d'arnt4e destined to quell "demagogy " in South Italy. The Parte announces that the pre sent increase of the French forces in Italy is not to exceed one regiment of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry. The same journal says, on the autho rity of a private despatch, that "The government of Victor Emmanuel has received from Paris satis factory explanations both with respect to the dispatch of the fleet to Naples and to other circum stances which have greatly agitated public opinion." The France doubts not that tee mission of the En glish fleet is to co-operate with that of France in " enforcing order." I have only just seen the following in the Bastin de Paris, a Ilithographic sheet prepared in Paris for the pro -1 einces : "It is said that new French troops are to i lbe sent to Italy. It is added that they will be 1 1 placed under the command of Marshal M'Mahon, and in case of necessity be sent towards the capital of the Two Sicilies, in order to prevent or repress any insurrection there." It is notoriously by means of this sheet that the public mind is prepared for any particular line of policy about to be entered upon by the government. " And this is non intervention !" your readers will exclaim. The Emperor's departure for Biarritz is delayed for some days, probably owing to the increasing gravity of public events. M.

The Duc de Bellune has arrived at Marseilles, having been, as was anticipated, recalled from his post as principal secretary to M. de Lavalette. The Bourse was less agitated to-day.
