Tat irrepressible love of adventure, the impa tience of a mode of life which is felt to ask too little of the powers, is a trait of the national cha racter which meets us at every turn, and is found in all classes of society. Our soldiers at Malta fret and chafe because they cannot get out and join GAJUSALDI. Our seamen slip away if they can from a service in which there is nothing to do , to join in the fray ; and at home we hear of gen tlemen leaving the luxuries of English life to go and try a throw with despotism in South Italy. But war is only a transitory thing, and our restlessness is perennial. And any school which teaches the discipline of courage, caution, and perseverance, and trains men to quench the rising flush of terror in the necessity of action, will serve our turn. Of late a large number of our countrymen have found such a school in the Alps. Switzerland, which for years had been overrun by mere guide-book travellers, each following the beaten track, has attracted crowds of our young athletes, who have explored unknown districts, struck out new routes, and, in the modest records of their exploits, made the glories of the " horns " and "stocks" of the Alps household words among our countrymen. Within the last five years a considerable number of peaks never before reached, including the highest peak of Monte Rosa, have been scaled by our countrymen. So powerful are the fascinations of I dangers surmounted and difficulties vanquished among the homes of the eagle and the chamois, that they have sufficed to create sympathy sarong enough to be a bond of voluntary , association, and the Alpine Club, an institu tion unique, we believe, and peculiar to this country, numbers considerably more than a hundred members of all professions, and pub lishes narratives of excursions which the public shows itself eager to accept. The example of these, the Vile of Alpine excursionists, is followed at a respectful distance by hundreds leas experi enced for whom the Alps are a gymnasium to brace the nerve and muscle. It is not pretended that this enjoyment is without its risks—these are of its essence. But ex perience is at hand to testify that the ordinary dangers of Alpine adventure may be brought within as narrow limits as those of other active pursuits by the exercise of reasonable caution, and, as far as most travellen are concerned, it is in that de velopment of mind and body which the effort to overcome these effects that the beneficial end of mountain climbing is attained. The general satisfaction which has attended this extended pursuit of Alpine travel by our country men is, however, suddenly marred by the report of an accident in which three English gentlemen and a native guile have lost their lives. The tra• yellers, Mr. J. M. Roes err= and Mr. F. Vevesor. of Cardiff, and Mr. B. Pumas, of London, left Chamonix at five o'clock on the morning of last Wednesday week, intending to cross the Col du Ginn; belonging to the range of Mont Blanc, for Cormayeur, on the Italian side. They were well supplied with guides, there being one to each ex cursionist, and a porter besides to carry their knapsacks. The weather, it is said, seemed favourable ; but it is to be observed that it had been bad for several days, and much snow had , fallen. The guides, however, appear to have' made no objection to commencing the journey grounded on that fact. While the travellers were making the ascent, and some time before they reached the summit of the pass, a thick fog came on, accompanied with a storm of hail and rain. This rendered the continuance of the expedition a matter of great danger. According to the regula tions fur the conduct of the Chamonix guides, the coming on of a fog or a storm is held to excuse the guide who loses his way with travellers in his charge. Under any other circumstances the guide so fading in his duty is deprived of his privileges and offices, and, if his losing his way has been the cause of the ,traveller's death, he is for ever re- . moved from the list of guides, and forfeits all the rights acquired by long service. The three tra vellers, we are told, were exceedingly fatigued by the long ascent, rendered more difficult by a re cent fall of snow, into which they sank up to their knees. In these circumstances, the state of the weather, and the difficulty of tra velling, the guides urged them to turn back. With this request, however, they re fused to comply, alleging that they were too tired to return, and they perished. On this point some further explanation is desirable, in order that it may be ascertained whether the guides did the whole of their duty. For the regulations in force at Chamonix, which have the sanction of laws, expressly cast upon the guides the responsi bility of continuing the journey or ordering a re turn in circumstances such as the one we are ex amining. The words of the 38th article of those regulations are :—" If during an ascent of Mont " Blanc, or the passage of the Col du G4ant, bad " weather conies on ur threatens to do so, or if " any other obstacle makes the continuance of the " journey manifestly dangerous, the traveller " will always be at liberty to return and " take back his guides ; but if the tra " tellers persist In wishing to continue " the journey in spite of such circumstances, " the question whether they are to pro " teed or not is to be deliberated on by the guides, " and decided by the eaajeeity of velem ; in came, " however, of equality of voices, the course host " conducive to ad* Is to be " And, in order to leave lie lied& unb . in his decision rinira 4reff, by the fear of Teeing his iu giving up the journey, it is provided in Article 40 that he shall nevertheless be paid, according to the tariff. The guides in this cane had authority to terminate the expedition when they saw it was one of a dan gerous character, and that they could have done so 1 is unquestionable, since in that trackless waste of ice and snow their company was indispensable to I our countrymen. We may admit that they could hardly have been actuated by other than credit able motives when they deferred to the wishes of the travellers ; still, in the absence of further in formation, we cannot say that they did their duty in permitting inexperience to overcome their better knowledge. The expedition went on, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, after eleven hours' struggling up through the snow, the Col du Giant was reached. The longest part of the journey, which is also the most dangerous, was now accomplished, and the descent had to be made to Courmayeur. But in moving down the snowy, muddy, slippery slope, the travellers needed the vigour and nerve which they had already expended. Their strength and steadiness were gone, and the exlior tations of the guides were in vain. The cats- strophe that was to be dreaded is thus related : " About six o'clock they reached a place where it " is necessary to traverse a steep projecting ridge " by a muddy and slippery path, the descent of " which was, however, gradual. This path was " then covered by fresh and sloppy snow to the " depth of about a foot. The tired travellers were " advancing on this path with unsteady steps, " when all at once, at the very angle of the ridge, " one of them slipped, fell, and dragged with him " his two companions, with the three guides, over " a steep and long slope of snow. The two guides " at the end of the rope made every effort in their " power to arrest their progress, but in vain, " and seeing that they were ail upon the point "of being launched over the precipice, they let " go the rope, forced their hands and feet into the snow, and stopped themselves as by a miracle " at the very verge of an abyss, into which their " unfortunate companions were immediately 4 g plunged." The writer who transmits these melancholy de tails from Cormayeur, mentions the tying of the travellers together by a rope as calling for ex planation, expressing an opinion that there is no need for it on the Italian aide of the Col. We apprehend that that is because it is supposed there is no likelihood of the slipping of one of the party—an opinion which was not con firmed in this case. It is to be ex pected that an argument against the use of the rope in dangerous descent. will be drawn from this accident, and it ia, therefore, desirable that our most experienced cragsmen should give their opinion publicly with reference to its use in this case. Hitherto the experience of our most adventurous countrymen has been re corded in favour of the rope in dangerous descents. In the popular collection of narratives, entitled " Peaks, Passes, and Glaciers," Idr. Hsu., President of the Alpine Club, writes " Against the risk of " slipping upon steep slopes, the rope is usually " a protection as effectual as it is in the yielding " of a snow bridge over a crevasse. There may be " positions in which the footing of each traveller is " so precarious that if tied together, a slip on the " part of any one of them would probably cause " the destruction of all. Such positions are, " however, very rare, if indeed they anywhere " occur. There are few descents steeper than the " ice wall of the Strahleck, yet Duos recounts " • case in which three travellers all slipping at " the same time were upheld and saved from " falling into the abyss by a rope sustained "on the arm of • single guide who came " last in the descent." While this accident should tend to a reconsideration of the present prac tice, the decision must turn upon the result of general and not particular experience. There is nothing in the history of this unfortunate occur rence to derogate from the statement with which we set out, that with reasonable caution Alpine travel may be made as sate as other active pursuit. ; and while we pay the tribute of our respect to those who lately went out a) elate, and now lie in the Vaudois Cemetery at Cormayeur, we may express a hope that no tourist will decline the invigorating exercise of mountain excursions because of this Their Royal Highneerea the Hereditary Grand Duke end Grand Declares of Mecklenburgarelits and the Prince Adolphus leave the Duchess of Cambridge's resi dence at Kew to-day for Germany.

Neither is the talk here of war. Every evening I dine with a dozen Jovial, goodhumoured officers, who are all ready to say a wool is favour of England, French soldiers though they be, and the general theme of table conversation over their Bordeaux and nuts is not as to when the fleet will receive orders to assemble in the Manche for a French campaign in Albion, but as to the excellency of the music played the yesternight in the Place d'Arrnes, in view of the forts and the great sea, for the amusement of the good citizens and their English or Ger main guests."

IHE EXPRESS, FRIDAY I'VE N MG, AUG ITS' (TEST THZ CA] MOM 0131 MOW. MESSINA, loom 19, Ftvic o'CLocK. [Olt Fortunately enough I have the good luck of a steamer which is to start in half an hour ; fir Marseilles, and I send you the gratifying news of the safe landing in Calabria of Garibaldi. On his returning to Sicily from his mysterious errand General Garibaldi stopped a few hours at Palermo, and gave orders to embark 1,200 men on board the steamer Franklin and 2,600 on board the Torino. The two steamers were directed to steam off to Taormina, and once there to wait for orders. Yesterday, as I told yon in my letter of this morning, the General arrived here on board the Black Prince, and, accompanied by the gallant General Turr, drove to Giordko and Teormina. Here he found the two steamers mentioned above, and went on board the Franklin. His appearanoe, as you may easily imagine, created the greatest enthusiasm amongst the men on board, and he then told them that the great day had come, and that he was going to take them to Calabria. This was done during the night with the usual boldness which dis tinguishes Garibaldi's naval operations. At dawn the two steamers entered without opposi tion the harbour of Molets, to the east of Capo Armi, about 12 miles south from Reggio. In approaching the land the Torino ran ashore, and she is still there, for up to ten hours ago the Franklin had not succeeded in towing her off. There is no doubt that Garibaldi is already march ing on Reggio, which can hardly be de fended by the small Neapolitan garrison, all the royal forces having been concentrated by the Neapolitan generals between Scylla and Villa San Giovanni. It is now quite clear that all the Faro bustle was but a mere feint to mislead the Neapolitans. The news of the successful land ing of the General is not yet known in this town, except by Medici, and the other generals have re ceived orders to keep themselves in readiness to cross the strait at the first order sent by Garibaldi. I intend to start myself to-morrow for Reggio, and hope to be able to send you more interesting and detailed news by the first steamer. Last night the Neapolitans of the citadel gave us a second specimen of their useless and reckless fi.ing. This amusing performance began at half-past 10 o'clock, and was at an end half an hour after. (tucurn's YESBINA, AuGurrr 20, Mmuruga. The landing of Garibaldi at Moleta has been fully confirmed. The Neapolitan fired at the steamer Torino, which grounded. Garibaldi and Missori will attack Reggio to-night, Roos Yesterday, after some firing, the garrison of the citadel was silenced. A Neapolitan sentry has fired at a British subject. An English war steamer, purchased at Liver povl, has arrived here. _ The Franklin has returned to Messina, after having vainly endeavoured to float the Torino. The Neapolitan cruisers did not fire on the Franklin. A general battle is expected this evening. PRANCE. THE EMPEROR'S PROGRESS. PARIS, Fame. The Moniker contains a decree ordering the establishment of a port at the city of Thonon on Lake Leman, and the improvement of the already existing port of Evian, on the same lake, u works of public utility. The Moniteur also publishes an account of the journey of their Majesties through France to Corsica and Algeria. On arriving at Dijon, their Majesties were received with enthusiasm. The Mayor, in his address to their Majeetiee, said that the government of the Emperor has carried the prestige of the country to a dazzling height. The Mayor thus continued : " When Europe affects to be always afraid of the power of your armies, she really fears much more the sympathies which you have brought forth among peoples." The Bishop of Dijon, in his speech, ex tolled the expedition to Syria, an enter prise undertaken notwithstanding the mistrustful exigencies of diplomacy. The bishop expressed a hope that the Emperor will hiewlse triumph over the difficulties, almost impedimenta, which the same diplomacy, in departing from the path of right and justice, pretends to impose upon the eldest sou of the church, upon the Emperor, the sucoeseor of Pepin and Charlemagne. The bishop concluded by expressing a hope that the Emperor will succeed in arresting the revolutionary flood which menaces the patrimony of the Holy Father. The Constitetion;sel publishes an article, signed " GrandguiLlot," stating that the relations between France and Austria are excellent, and congratu lating the latter power on having frankly entered on the path of reform. The news published in some German papers that the Emperor Napoleon bad proposed a congreakior the settlement of the idfairs of Italy is totally un founded. RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Auoverr 2A Despatches received from St. Petersburg stilt* that a grand banquet took place at the imperial court in honour of the birthday of the Emperor of Austria, at which the Austrian ambassador was present.

The Adriatic arrived out on the morning of the 11th, and the ship William Tell on the same date. On the 23rd inst. the Illinois passed the ship Ocean Monarch bound up Channel. The news by the Illinois has been anticipated. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova owig PARIS, THOWIDAY EVEFING. The most striking news of the day (besides the stirring reports of Garibaldi's progress, which you will have by telegraph) is the fact of the Count (L'Aquila, the brother of the King of Naples, writing a long exculpatory letter to the Opinion Nationale on the instant of his arrival in Paris. The Opinion treats the royal dkndidate for publicity just like an ordinary correspondent, and, finding his letter toe long to be conveniently published at length, merely gives an analysis of it. The object of the Count d'Aquila's explanations is to protest against the double imputation that he has con spired against the liberties of his country, and that he contemplates supplanting his royal nephew by getting himself named regent. The Bourse was buoyant. The decree in the Moniteur, suspending the sliding scale and faci litating the import of grain, has already produced a fall of 2fr. in the corn market, and the weather to-day is more promising. The Rents rose 25c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at 68fr. 20c. and 68fr. 15c. Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c. The Lyons and Eastern Railways rose 3fr. 75c. each ; in the other lines there was little change. M. Jutean, the report of whose death made a sensation at the Bourse on Monday, writes to the papers to say that he is alive and well. An opposition candidate has been returned to the Corps Legislatif, for a district of the department of the Meuse, by au immunise majority. The go vernment candidate was M. Saivahre, the mayor of Bar-le-Duc. His successful opponent is M. Millon, • member of the Council-General. It is a re markable fact that the Echo de !'Est, the sole local journal, being under the influence of the Prefect, refused to publish M. Millou's address to the elec tors, and in the hope of depriving him of the benefits of publicity, evaded mentioning his name, when on the eve of the election he was nominated secretary of the Council-General, saying merely, " the secretary is the same as last year." Notwith standing these manceuvres, however, and all the pressure of various kinds which the authorities can always exercise, the electors determined not to be dictated to, and they have achieved a signal triumph which will doubtless be a precedent for similar self-assertion among other constituencies. M. Millon polled 19,243 votes, against 7,440 given to the government candidate. With the exception of Count Migeon, the peculiar circumstances of whose case will be freshly remem bered, M. Millon is, if I mistake not, the only opposition deputy ever returned for an agricul tural district since the establishment of the empire. Count de Persigny has arrived at the Hotel des Trois Empereurs from London, on his way, as it is supposed, to St. Etienne, to take the chair at the Council-General. It is with sincere sorrow that I have to announce the sudden death, from an accident, of M. Decampe, the eminent painter. While hunting at Fontaine bleau yesterday with the imperial staghounds, his horse ran away, and his head struck against the branch of a tree with such violence that his skull was fractured. He was picked up senseless, and died in two hours. A serious robbery was perpetrated in Notre Dame last night, several vases of great value, some of which were given by the present Emperor, having been taken away. The tribunal of Clermont has given judgment in favour of the Bishop of Moulins, in the great case of the Marquis de Villette's will, which it may be remembered was attacked on the ground that the bishop was in reality a secret trustee for the Count de Chambord. There will doubtless be an appeal. The Emperor and Empress left for Savoy and Nice this morning. The Countess de Saint-Marsault, wife of the pre fect of the Seine and thee, and one of the PrinomeClothilde's ladies of honour, has just expired at Paris, after much suf fering, from the effect of burns which she received last winter while endeavouring to save a lady whose dress had caught fire at a ball given by the prefect. Majeroni, the Italian actor who played in Perim with Madame Rietori, has just died at Turin, at the age of 65. He wu the son of a colonel of Engineers who directed the construction of the fort of Malghera at Veaioe under the filet empire, and himself entered the French service and rose to the rank of captain in the 4th Light Infantry, and was wounded at the battle of Dresden. After the peace he left the army and became actor, dramatic writer, and manager.

His comrades fairly made a rush at him ; they hugged him, they killed him, they stroked his head, they patted and played with his hands; in short, they nearly knocked him over with caresses after he bad just been able to get up from his wounds. The good feeling and sympathy diffused amongst all the volunteers are hide. scribable. The rivalry between the different corps which is found in all armies appears here to have uo existence. They feel themselves to be, and they really are, all on an equal footing. They consider themselves as members of the same military family, all united by • common love and to their 'l;tber,' Garibaldi." "The commercial advicee from Russia," says the Times, " state that the locusts and the rains have eartaialy done mischief to the crops, and that the yield will came quently not be so large as was at one time promised. Still, it is added, the harvest will be the most abundant they have had for many years, north and south. From the fact that almost all kinds of Russian produce are in great do omed, and are realising unusually high prices, the ex change at St. Petersburg, which a abort time back was at 350., has advanced to 36d."

TURIN, Acorn 20. Signor Canofari, the representative of Francis H. at our court, was to have presented his letters of recal to the King yesterday, and to have left the same night for Paris. He has, in fact, left. It is not yet known who is to succeed him, but in all probability Francis 11. will not have need much longer of representatives at all, and our ministers will become instead the true representatives of Naples before many days are over. Signor Canofari has bad an inventory taken of his effects, which are shortly to be sold by public auction. He leaves behind him neither debts nor enemies—no small praise for a Neapolitan representative at the court of another Italian state. mtsiecting Garibaldi's excursion to the island of na and to Cagliari I am now in the pease,- lion of more precise information. Certain republican chiefs under the advice of some one or another, but collected by Dr. Bonsai, wanted to in vade the States of the Pope, without caring whether Garibaldi had forces sufficient or not for his undertaking against Naples, and utterly indif ferent to the inury it would inflict on the national cause. Gari baldi went to bring these refractory persons to their senses, and has taken them with I him to Sicily. Signor Martini, it seems, bad had an interview with the chiefs in question at Genoa, and the disunion resulting from that conference soon became visible. As in 1848, his pre sence blights Italy's prospects. The catastrophe at Novara was in a great measure his handiwork, for the entire Austro-clerical party 00-operated with him, and since then he has not grown wiser. His party is now, in addition to other difficulties thrown in our way by the absolutists, embarrassing lux as it did twelve years ago. The French have now occupied the fort of Lecillon, which was ceded to them together with Savoy. It had been hitherto held by our Berea gliert The priests of the surrounding district, being rigid papists, had forbidden the peasantry, under pain of excommunication, involving the re fusel of absolution, to convey provisions to our soldiers in the fort, the reason they alleged to the people being that all the Piedmontese were excom municated. It required all the force of discipline to prevent the soldiers from severely hand ling some of these sacerdotal fanatics. After a few days, however, the sellers perceived that they were making money very slowly, and were losing six hundred customers merely to please the Pope, who they had heard has always a very good appetite of his own. Why should they starve, thought they 1 So arithmetic soon drove theology out of the field, and snapping their fingers at excommunication they pound with supplies into the fort. While the ministers were sitting in ()Dwell this morning, under the King's personal direction, a despatch arrived, I hear, which announced that a revolution had broken out in the province of Basi licata, in the kingdom of Naples, and that a part of the troops had fraternised with the insurgents. The King said, gam given to understand, to Cavour, " It appears the Neapolitans are waking up ;" to which the minister replied, " I shall believe they are awake when Garibaldi sleeps at Naples." Judging by all the intelligence we receive from Naples, it strikes us that if a revolution does break out there, it will be in the form of a military revolt, just as it was in 182 L The Neapolitans have too little anon:, ; they have been too long demoralised to brave dangers for a generous idea. Individual brave men are of course to be found there, capable of sacrificing themselves for the cause, but the people have no collective courage, simply because no man trusts his neighbour. How different froth a Piedmontese, who knows he will not be left in the lurch by another Piedmontese, and at any rate not by his King. The Italian of the south thinks be is sure to be abandoned in case of danger by his countryman, and by no one sooner than by his King. The con trast is complete. This will enable you to under stand a good deal of what is going on in Naples, where singly men are brave, collectively cowards. Instruction at the great military camps will com mence on the bit of September. The most impor tant manoeuvre* will come off in the plains of Lombardy, within the province of Brescia, pre cisely where the Austrians manoeuvred the year be fore last, and indeed often previously. The official Gatafte of Turin publishes the follow ing circular, addressed by M. F, rani, Minister of the Interior, to the governors and intendants-gene ral, under date of August 20 : In the circular of the 13th instant the undersigned, Minister of the 'lnterior, declared it to be the intention of the King's government to prepare the formation of the corps, consisting of volunteers from the National Guard, in the manner prescribed by the laws. Wishing now to realise this project, the undersigned invites the governors and intendants-general to give, with scrupulous care, the necessary orders that in each government office and district board registers may be opened fur the enlistment of volun teen pursuant to the regulations laid down in the law of February 27, 1859, and in the regulation rel►tive thereto, approvedby royal decree on the 6th of March of the same year. To this end it will be expedient to take care that the manifesto prescribed by the 22nd article of the aforesaid enactment shall be published in every town by the mayor. In that manifesto, the necessary conditions are specified fora valid enlistment, and in particular the con dition that volunteers shall not be under 18 years of age nor more than 35, and that they shall have no engagement for the military service. From the Ist of September next to the middle of October, the governors and intendants-general will provide duplicate lists of the volunteers of the province enlisted each week. One of these hats is to be sent to the Ministry of the Interior, and the other to the Meant of Inspection, which will be determined in concert with the Minister of War, by whom the necessary depOts for arming and clothing the men will also be provided. The undersigned depends on the constant and efficient co-operation of the provincial administrative authorities to the end that brave young men answering the appeal of the King's government and millet ing in large numbers into the several volunteer corps destined to be the auxiliaries of the national army, may concur in increasing the strength of the same for the de fence and greatness of the country. The Minister, nun NAPLES. (ROY 001 OWN 001618PONDICIT.) NAPLES, Amen 19. Prince Luigi left by the Neapolitan government steamer the Stromboli for Marseilles, en route to London, to execute some commissions, say the go vernment. Ministers are impenetrable on the sub ject. I have been compelled, therefore, to navigate many channels, and though I do not pledge my word to the truth of all that I now state, the follow ing will be found, I believe, to be true. For some time under cover of liberalism, the Prince has been aiming at a re-actionary movement, still further urged thereto by the hostile intentions which were entertained towards his family by the entire nation. Sensible men, however, never believed in the libe ralism of one who has been known through life es the consistent enemy of all progress. It is smelted that he had many men in his service who were to have been armed with pistol and dagger ; certain persons can be brought forward who, they say, were tampered with by the Prince, but re fulled to accede to the conditions. Many, too, were dressed in the uniform of the National Guard, and these were charged to enter the ranks of that body, and corrupt or compromise it by provoking feuds with the soldiery. How far, indeed, their plan of arming the resetionists was carried I cannot tell ; but Naples is full of arms, and the satellites of the old government have their share. On Monday, the Pausilippo entered Naples with 1,500 muskets, intended, I believe, for Sicily, and a number of eases of pistols, directed to a French gentleman (whose name I suppress), and intended for the Count of Aquila. For a week or more, aingularly enough, thia day had been fixed upon for some coup-12730t ; and, from the preparations which were made by the authorities in the evening, it was clear that the government was alarmed. They were on the traces of something— they had telegraphic information of the arrival of revolvers, and stopped them ; it is said that they also found a compromising an d atr dons correspondence, and lists of conspirators and victims, amongst which latter were Generals Planelli, Romano, and Martino, and, perhaps upwards of forty others. The refuge of the house of a friend of mine was offered to thous, but, though conscious of danger, the council was held that night and in the usual place. In StVeral previous councils these affairs had been discussed, the Prince himself having been present, et one or more, and acted with great violence. It Pat unaniinotely agreed upon that his longer reeldenoe in Naples was incompatible with the safety of the state, and that he must leave. General Palumbo was the person appointed to make the communication, and it will readily be conceived that the Prince was 111114 It agitated and refused to comply ; he at length ,n -!tented to do so under protest, and a docuiricut tl) that effect was sent in. Ido not believe that lie again saw his Majesty the King, it is said, a.,k,d the President of the Council if an interview could be permitted, and the answer was in the negative. His Majesty is then reported to have written to the Prince, urging his immediate departure and expres sing a hope to embrace Lim in happier tines. In fact the Prince went on board pis yacht at three o'clock on Tuesday morning, while the Countess and her family took refuge on board the Brazilian steamer. With all this the Council would not have broken up until the report of his having left land had been communicated, bpt soon aft e r midnight all the authorities were flying :donut right and left, in consequence of the plucky but objectless attack on Castelitmare. It is to be ,1 r served that as a signal for the movement a priest fired a pistol in the Largo di Carita, but he was mediately arrested, and by this time the conspiracy had been discovered. At Caatellanaare also a col. dier fired his musket, and asserted that he had been fired upon ; an officer, however, who had seen the transaction, arrested him and found his on just discharged. With regard to the objects ottee conspiracy, they appear to have been as folios., Negotiations had been entered into with theMarrm is a Comitato, and it was determined that cries of " V Iva la Republica" should be raised, disturbances aith the troops encouraged, the King set aside, and the work of murder begun. In the millet of this con. fusion Prince Luigi would be declared repeat, and the opinion of the Emperor Napoleon cited that universal suffrage should be adopted. Had the oonspiracysed, a sea of blood might love been shed, and the worst of the Bourbonsbeen placed on the throne. Since writing the above, I love received very high confirmation of the truth of ray statements, and additional details. Ministers had entertained suspicion of the Prince for several days, in consequence of his altered tone, and the new measures which he proposed, as the change of ministers, to the exclusion of several, and especially Romano, wbo had first been recommended by him —the exile of the emigrants recently returned—the suppression of the liberty of the press, and the die. solution of the National Guard. From suspicions they proceeded to investigations, and found the facts I have already enumerated. The movement was to have been made on the 10th. Martino, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, communicated the de cision of the council to the King, who adopted it, as I have said, and General Palumbo, on the refusal of the Prince io leave, told him that if the facts of the case were known that even his personal safety would be compromised were he to remain, and that he would risk being confined in the castle. Of el these details ministers have no legal proofs, int , moral proofs amounting to certainty, as they hav against a French gentleman resident in Naples, being the instrument of the Prince. We have now another specimen of the Bourbons—two uncles, the natural protectors of the young King—either aban don or seek to dethrone him. The first, in egotism, seeks oily a safe retreat, rt.id the means o a life of self-indulgent* ; the other plots against W. throne, perhaps his life, and certainly against th liberties and lives of many citizens. Let Brazil take and keep him ; the articles of his ma •• • contract oblige him to reside there. At events, the parliament of this country shouli never permit a man who has left sue dark and criminal reminiscences behind him, eve to set foot on Italian soiL Since writing the above, I have heard the defence which is made b the friends of the prince, and it amounts to this. They acknowledge that he wished to dissolve th National Guard and change the ministers, b with a view to maintain the present order of thin: and support the king on the throne. On . means which were to be employed they do n. enter; at all events, I have heard no explanation this part of the subject from the apologists of . • royal highness. There has been a good deal . talk here about the French who were mixed up • this ugly affair. It appears that individuals that nation were the purchasers or the con signees of the arms that have been introduced that there has been much intercourse with th palace and Prince Luigi on the part of the French such visits not having been communicated to di rest of the diplomatic body, and that on Sunda morning last a certain carriage was seen eta route the residence of the prince at Posilippo. All the:: little facts have been gathered together very dill gently, and the following structure made by per haps over-diligent people. There were three par ties to the affair, say they. The prince mean to use the Mazamiani for his purposes u , to a certain point, and then throw them over. Th ?dev•iniske; who are said to be ready to adop any means to attain their favourite object, intend-. to do the same by the prince ; whilst the Frene. with their favourite nostrum of universal suffrage hoped to advance their own interests. For myself I do not attempt any solution of the arair, ha content myself with a statement of facts as hypotheses. For the last two or three days the cock's bathe of the Sardinian chasseurs, many of whom ha just arrived, have been objects of great attractun The Governolo and the Costituzione Sardinia. government steamers, arrived on Wednesday, bring ing with them from four to five hundred of the picturesque-looking uniforms. Besides the last nam vessels, the Piednionteee have the Marie Adelaide the Anthion, and the Tamara. Great excitemen was created yesterday morning by the rapid marsh rug of bands of patrols in Santa Lucia and th Riviera di Cuiaja, and on inquiry I founjthat the had received orders to prevent the Ending 0 several boatloads of men, who finally returned t the Sardinian steamer opposite the Count Syracuse's houae, in the Villa Reale. It was evides that, whether with or without reason, great sumpieto was entertained of the conduct of the . • Moreover, during the night and on the folio • . morning many of the Chasseurs of the 14th Ba talion, as also many of the Marines, had deer and had fled to the Piedmontese. There is a straw feeling here that on Monday night last Garibal came up by the Veloce, and went on board one • the Sardinian vessels. In all probability the isle is without foundation ; it exists, however, an. it must not be forgotten that the Dictator let Messina on Sunday night. RUSSIA. Ruled= finance seems to be in a strange con limy if we may judge from Some recent oonfssiee. Within the last two months the Emperor has me than once complimented the intendants of th State domains on the zeal and success with whio they have collected the peasantry-taxes of the la , year, " above and beyond the yearly assessment. The Bell, edited by M. Herten in London, latch; demanded an explanation of this singular excess 0 zeal on the 'Art (a the tax-gatherers. Accordingly the last imperial expression of thanks to the inteu dant of the province Samara (published July 31 ult.), supplies an amended version of the forme compliment. It now appears that the intendant had anticipated ten per cent. of the amassment n ext year, so that, as The Bell renmrks, tli ou jlit only to collect next year 00 per cent. the taxes ; and at this rate the government M. years hence will have no right to collect a farthin;: in short, the Russian government is already lido on its capital.
