Morris, who is not more than 22, is about a year older than his antagonist. Holden's first appear , once in the ring was on Tuesday, the 23d Dec. last, when ho fought and defeated Charley Lynch (the American) for £5O, winning a well-contested battle in clever style. Yes terday, according to arrangements made by those at the head of affairs, a visit was made to a well-known spot, when, there being no impediment, the commissary lost no time in getting the ring in readiness. Norris, who was the first to enter, had for his seconds Joe Wareham, of Bir mingham, and Bodger Crutchley ; whit) the veteran Red den, and a well• known retired member of the ring, did the requisite for Master George, The men were stated to be well, but there can be no dlubt that neither was in the height of condition, for Holden was decidedly too fleshy, while Morris had not the right " tints" about him. By 20 minutes past 10 o'clock the men were left at the scratch to commence the battle. During the p,ogress of this spirited contest many of the rounds fought were of the most fearless character. In a fine opening bout the Brum was the winner of the first of the three events, while the second was ob tained by the Walsall hero. Although the Brum was the better scienced man, and the best tactitian, yet Holden, from the dash with which he fought, and the resolution evinced of always being " there," proved himsella worthy opponent, and gave in the closes such proof of plysical power as to make the advantage in these rounds preponderate in his favour. There were 26 rounds fought in the first ring, occupying one hour and 14 minutes, when Inspector Brandon and his men made their appearance, so that hos tilities had to be suspended and fresh ground chosen. The ring having, with all possible despatch been reformed, the men again entered, at seven minutes past 12 o'clock, and recommenced their gallant passage cf arms, in the same spirited and earnest manner. As he battle progressed Morris, despite all the efforts of his cpponent, gained the advantage. There were in the whae 64 rounds (in the two rings) fought, occupying two hours and nine minutes, when the seconds of Holden, seeing the " die " was cast, threw up the sponge in token of defeat, so that Morris was hailed the winner of this hard-fought battle. There were several appeals made during the contest, but these were properly rejected by the referee ; although that functionary once deemed it necessary to give a caution to the Brum, who at that period of the contest was just a little abroad in his deliveries. AMERICAN APFAIRS. A writer in a contemporary says :—The Ame rican accounts continue to arrive of a complexion most unfavourable to the Northern cause. The South is, indeed, suffering at every pore, but the North is rapidly - advancing on the road to national . ruin. The contractors and philanthropists, chief performers in this dismal tragedy, not contented with the loss of the South, are doing their utmost Washington has upholds held to drive off Californi a an d th e W est ; an d M r . Lincoln 'thedi b g y unitykoing officefanpartn a whi E ch un a Ilascholinn. combe meeting, and giving his sanction to resolu• tions that declare open war with common sense. Surely, attempts at jocularity are out of place, or the squabbles of subordinates, when the question is one of life or death to a nation. And this man is to put his clumsy heel on the noble con stitution framed by statesmen and patriots —to stop the speech of a people, to gag their press, to im prison them at his will, to hunt them up in shoals, and send them to perish wherever he lists. Great nations before this have surrendered their liberties to a despot, to a Caesar or a Napoleon, for genius, like beauty, has power to fascinate the minds of strong men. But here is one who pretends to no capacity, knowledge, firmness—whose conception of a middle course is to take each extreme alternately —who is ready to shelter the grossest delinquency with a joke, or amuse any idler with a quaint story. Such is the ruler the Northern people now abjectly obey. They are the first who were ever contented to have a Sancho Panza for a despot. All this might be amusing to read as a parody on government, but the facts are too solemn for amuse ment. It was the strongest argument against Secession in the North, that it might bring the country into the condition of Mexico. This is the very process now in action. Was there ever a Mexican Congress more incompetent than that which has just been in session at Washington ? Was there ever & Mexican President who treated the constitution of his country with greater con tempt ? Were the atrocities of Mexican civil war any greater at first than those we now hear of? Are the Mexican Generals, the bane of that miser able country, more numerous than they will be in the North ? Did the Mexicans ever seek financial ruin with greater eagerness, or invent such contri vances for breaking up a Federal Republic as the Tax Bill and Conscription ? We shrink from the belief that men of our own race can become what Mexicans are, but here are facts for the reflection of Northern men. If this war is to continue, what before long will be the difference beyond &difference of language ?

This Conscription for which Mr. Lincoln's fiat has gone forth is a proposal to take 600,900 men by force, and compel them to invade the sister States and attack their fellow-countrymen in their homes. An impulsive movement of this kind, under some feverish excitement, is intelligible enough, but we have now a people forced to this work against their will, and this in a land of liberty and constitutional law. As a practical measure, what will be the cost of an additional army of 600,000 at double our rate of pay, and where is the money to come from ? How many policemen will be needed to look after a flock of 600,000 men anxious to slip away ? If volunteers full of enthusiasm have completely failed in the object of the war, what will the pros pect be with conscripts ? It is admitted that 30,000 men hip, e disappeared from the army of the Potomac, home-sick or disgusted with the realities of war. There will now be a new incentive to de sertion, for the price of a substitute will soon reach Mr. Stanton's estimate of £2OO. Daring the Cri mean war, when-the bounty for sailors was advanced, it was soon found to stimulate desertion for the mere sake of getting the bounty over again. Offer a bribe of £2OO where woods and swamps afford facilities to desert, and half the rank and file of any army will make the attempt to reach such a market. And if these conscripts be obtained—a point exceedingly doubtful in the West—they can not appear on the field for many months. The real American, who is now to be dragged from his home, is a difficult human being to train and drill. The shape of his body rebels against it, and the turn of his mind ; he has no desire to be used up in that way, and values his time at infinitely more than soldier's pay. Yet these men must be drilled before they can enter the field, and during the months required for that purpose what will become of the Federal forces, now diminishing daily by sickness and about to enter September, the most fatal month of the year ? The truth is, the whole matter has broken down. As a rational attempt of sane men, the subjugation of the South is at an end. Those who are coining money by the war, or who will be ruined when peace returns, will strive to sus tain it so long as the people permit their country to lie prostrate in such hands. Thousands of Nor therners have bravely given up their lives in what they believed to be the cause of their country. Surely some will arise with sufficient moral courage to risk Fort Warren, make an effort to save their country from the ruin into which it drifts, and res cue it from hands just described by an eloquent Northerner as those of " swaggering imbecility? " It is stated in recent accounts that yellow fever rages at Key West ; it is therefore on the way to New Orleans, and near at hand. There will come a day when some will ask whether any Government was justified in sending troops to James Island in July, or to New Orleans at midsummer. The cap ture of Baton Rouge and the measures taken by the Governor of Louisiana point to the recapture of New Orleans as a probable occurrence. Unless it happen soon General Butler will leave it a rich man. There was lately a letter in your columns from an English captain who could not obtain a tugboat to take his ship to the city. General Butler has estab lished a brother there, who has set up a mercantile firm. This brother will supply a tug after he has first bought the cargo, and has room for it. Flour at one time reached 35 dols. per barrel in that city, the price at New York being 5 dols., and the cost of transport trivial ; but the flour that arrives at the mouth of the river cannot appear at the city until General Butler's brother is ready for it, and supplies a tugboat t) bring it up. But why should not Northern Generals turn a penny by the war ! Is not the main object in keeping the South to make money out of it ? . "Stonewall" Jackson has inflicted another blow upon his adversaries. Learning that an advanced corps of Pope's army was separated from the main body and within reach, he suddenly crossed the Rapidan and fell upon it. Of the result we have ' only the Northern account prepared for the press by the censor, but this admits that the Federal infantry was badly cut up and driven back with the loss of a few guns. It has been the invariable rule that a description of this kind has covered a serious disaster, and it is strong evidence of the fact that even Gen. Pope could not term it a victory. As that General came up with his main force Jackson re crossed the Rapidan with his prisoners and captured guns, and he will probably endeavour to entice his opponent within reach of the Richmond army. It is asserted that a pestilence has appeared and is rag ing at Richmond, than which there is no healthier city in the South. Such a calamity is more likely to befall M'Clellan's army, which lies between two swamps, amid all the evils of a stationary camp in such a climate. It had been rumoured that the Southerners were evacuating Richmond, and, as this was rather too improbable without some assignable cause, it was perhaps thought that a pestilence would afford a reason. Doubtless, there is suffering enough on all sides, and, sooner or later, a pestil ence is likely to appear and add another and terri ble scourge to those already afflicting the country. It excites surprise that should be per mitted to remain quiet all this time. But the Southern army suffered heavily in the enga gements before Richmond, and at this season none but Generals reckless of the lives of their men Will move //Z PRICE..... -.. 0 - STAMPED ....sd. 1 them from choice. It would also be a work of time to mount heavy guns along the James River. Be yond this, every week in the encampment reduces the number and enfeebles the strength of the Federal army, and delay is probably the result of a deliberate resolvi , to defer the attack until a Vir -1 ginian summer has fully wrought its effects, to the end that the blow, when delivered, may be deci sive. As Burnside's force has been moved from the James River to the Rappahannock, it may be in ferred that Al position is considered so hopeless that it w ou ld h ave been too dangerous to send that division to reinforce him. You have justly observed that the condition of the North excites now a feeling of pity. It is a pitiful thing to see men rushing to escape from a country like rats from a sinking ship. America had once a charm that none denied. Whatever might be want ing in the North, it was the home of liberty. It is now a land of bastiles, passports, spies, informers, censors, conscripts. One cannot realise the idea of an American conscript. We have been so accus tomed to believe and revere the principles the North professed, that, to see these abandoned in a day— nay, spurned and derided—seems like some gro tesque passage from a dream. The enthusiasts for a theoretical nationality, who thought it so fatal to lose some of their numbers, do they deem it a greater evil to diminish a nation than to ruin and disgrace it ? Surely, before lon g , a s ense of indig nant shame will rouse some to rememb er th e i r his tory and principles, to bethink them who their fathers were, and to make an effort to save their name from becoming a byword, and their country a Mexico. PUGILISM. PETER MORRIS, OF BIRMINGHAM, AND GEORGE HOL DEN, OF WALSALL, for £5O A-SlDE, —Although these men are both provincials, they are well known to the metropo litan patrons of the P.R., and the match produced extraor dinary interest. Morris, as usual, was backed by Bob Brettle, of Birmingham, and on arriving in the metropolis on Wednesday, made Mr. W. Richardson's, in Shoreditch, his headquarters, while Holden put up at Alec Keene's. The belligerents were confined to Bst., and went to pcale on Wednesday, when they were found tg ba Within the pre AFTER THE BATTLE. " It was evident on Monday morning, from the movements of both parties," writes the correspon dent of a New York paper, who was at the battle of Cedar Mountain, on Saturday, the 9th August— " That neither vas anxious to resume hostilities. The enemy fell back somewhat early in the day, and fatigue parties advanced from his original position to continue the interment of rebel dead, a work at which he had been already engaged. Some of the more adventurous of our soldiers, and many of the surgeons likewise, pushed out from the Union ranks, and ambulances were hauled to and fro with the mairied, the dying, and the helpless. For many hours additional the dead lay livid and disregarded upon the site at once of their glory and their fall. Our ambulances and surgeons' assistants were not interrupted, though often within easy musket range. At length, Lieut. Elliott Johnston, of the rebel General Garnett's staff, ad vanced down a slope bearing a white flag, which he waved vigorously, as if to attract our attention. Some of our offi • cers at once went up to the Lieutenant, who informed them that by permission of Gen. Stonewall Jacksen they might have till two o'clock to bury the dead. The bearer wished to disclaim, however, the fact that he was a messenger of truce, and afterwards told your reporter that the proposa for a cessation first came from our people. The period allowed for burial was afterwards, by mutual consent, pro longed till dark. The rebels stated, with their flag of truce, that under no circumstances must abandoned arms, tools, or ammunition be carted from the ground, as they claimed the field and its contents by reason of their occupation of the same down to the acceptance of the flag of truce. A few of our gravediggers had mingled with the rebel gravediggers, and both had suspended their functions to hold an argu ment. The lieutenant ordered the Federals into their own lines, and prevented, it may be, a miniature battle among the disputants. I mast say for my conductor that he had a frank face and a fair manner, a goodly mingling of the polite citizen with the stern soldier. We rode into a piece of woods not a half mile from Slaughter's Mountain, and beheld the spot where Union and rebel had tugged and tussled face to face, parry ing and thrusting with cold steel. Some of the rebels seemed to have edged over to our lines and fell among our men, while some of the Unionists were quite turned and lay in a bevy of their enemies. Tho rebels claim to have blown up several caissons left behind us on Saturday evening, and to have picked up more than 2,000 arms, with upwards of 60 horses. I saw, what had been previously undiscovered, about 50 muskets stacked against a piece of scrub timber, and within our lines as re established. A great number of our wounded were carted from the field by ambulance, They had lain two days upon the sites of their fall, and were nearly famished and perished. We took in perhaps 400 on Monday, between 9 o'clock and dark. The enemy had charitably relieved the necessities of a few; but their provisions being limited they were obliged to desert some of the most helpless. Many men merely had broken limbs, upon which they could not stand. Several cases of amputation were undergone on the field, and by 2 o'clock no wounded men remained between our lines and the enemy's. I did not make much inquiry as to the position of the rebel batteries, but the lieutenant courteously pointed out the position of the heavy thirty-twos that still looked down from the mountain side from Slaughter's residence. He appeared to be very proud of the battery, and said that it had been manned by the 'right stuff.' He likewise fol lowed up the various changes of ground during the course of the action, and made, in truth, a pretty fair statement of things. When the fight commenced we sent a shell directly through the roof of Mrs. Critt enden's house, when most of the family decamped. A Miss Critteuden, said to be comely and fair to look upon, refused, however, to absent herself, and insisted upon remaining with the wounded rebels, who were rapidly being carried to the house. Directly a shell came hurling down through the roof and floors into the very apartment where the young lady was pouring in oil and wine. it did not burst, however, and she remained till the end, doing good. A number of mounted officers rode down to the tributary stream at noon, chiefly lieutenants, &c., and spoke upon trivial topics with out embarrassment, to certain of our officers of equal rank. There was a Major Hintham, of Mississippi, who gave me much curious information as to the rebel uniforms. Their rank, it seems, is governed by goad lace upon the sleeves and g , ,ld lace upon the collars. Their uniforms indicate a regard for ornament rather than gocd taste. My friend, for example, wore a gold star upon a black velvet ground, and had, furthermore, a gold cord and golden tassel pendant from his hat. He wore, also, a great ostrich feather, that made him look like pictures of Sehamyl. A hale sober sided old gentleman, somewhat sunburnt, and dressed in the plain homespun habit of a farmer, came upon the ground and saluted us silently. He wore a single star upon his black shoulder strap, in the manner of our brigadiers, and had no other symbol of rank. This was the North Carolina General, Garley, whose brigade fcught so well, and were so well slaughtered at Williamsburg. 1 noticed that his young staff followers had a wholesome respect for him. With this and the other worthies the Union Generals Hartsuff and Roberts engaged in conversation. I lode across the brook to a knoll, and proceeded to sketch on tho back of an envelope the locality of the battle. While thus engage d a man in grey suit, and a quantity of fresco upon his arms, hat, belt, and shoulders, trotted up the ascent and saluted me. He was rather gaunt, as if worn down by constant exercise, a good deal grizzled and hard-featured, as if used either to tyrannise or command. His horse was a blood one, and he rode easily, so that I saw at a glance his position of general of cavalry. Are you making a sketch of our position ?' said the General to me curtly. ' Not for any military purpose, sir,' I replied, merely for reference.' Are you a reporter?' Yes, sir.' You may go on.' This was Gen. Stewart, whose achievements rival Ashby's and Morgan's. It was he who Made the famous raid with four regiments round tsl'Clellan's army a week before the bloody battles of Richmond. Some casual con versation followed. Adverting to his insignia of office, the General spoke of his equipments, This bridle,' said he boyishly, ' was made in England, and sent to me from friends across the water. My saddle was shipped by un derground from a woman of Baltimore. We will make all those things ourselves after a while.' He said Virginia had the best cavalry in the world, as her men were horn riders." AN IRISHMAN'S NOTION OF DISCOUNT.—It chanced one gloomy day, in the month of December, that a good-humoured Irishman applied to a merchant to discount a bill of exchange for him at rather a long, though not an unusual date ; and the merchant having casually remarked that the bill had a great many days to run, " That's true," replied the Irishmman ; " but then, my honey, you don't consider how short the days are at this time of the year." [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.—A Tottering Digestion.—Few men of middle age will misunderstand this term—none should be ignorant of the striking success at tained by Holloway's Pills in resisting it. These remark able Pills have attracted the attention of the profession and the public, for the ease, celerity, and certainty with which they remove indigestion, acidity, flatulency, nausea, bili ousness, and sick headache. They correct the fetid breath, give keenness to the appetite, prevent uncomfortable disten tion after meals, and insure complete digestion with perfect assimilation. Holloway's Pills are the gentlest, yet surest aperients. From their occasional use every one will derive benefit ; from their constant use no one can receive injury. They are innocent as they are purifying-.as strengthening as they are safe. 711 E NAVi. The iron frigate Black Prince, 40, screw, Capt. J. F. B. Wainwright, was docked yesterday at Portsmouth preparatory to the resumption of her speed trials. It is intended to undock her again to day and send her out at once to Spithead, to com mence her trials again at the measured mile to morrow. The Vindictive sailing frigate, coal and bread depot ship, for Fernando Po, Master-Commander Low, sailed from Spithead for her destination at daylight on Wednesday morning with a fine easterly breeze. Towards noon, however, the wind fell light and variable inshore. The Vindictive and a fleet of outward-bound merchant vessels at 4 p m., being off St. Catherine's, close hauled, with the wind light at W.S.W. The Stork gunboat, commenced testing yesterday, in Porchester Creek, Portsmouth,the sample armour plates on the side of the Sultan target ship,supplied from the Thames Ironworks, the Mersey Ironworks, the Alonkbridge Company, and Messrs. Hill and Smith. The forging of portions of the iron work connected with the fitting of the towers and shields on Capt. Coles' plane to the decks of the Royal Sovereign has been commenced in the smithery of Portsmouth Dockyard. The number of hands employed upon the ship has been increased to carry out the altera tions required to her upper decks. The Psyche Admiralty yacht, master commander Petley, was swung yesterday in Portsmouth har bour to ascertain the deviation of her compass. The Simoom,iron screw troopship, lately returned from service in China, has been brought down to Portsmouth harbour and placed in the steam basin preparatory to docking and refit so soon as men can be spared from other work in hand in the yard. The Simoom is one of the strongest built iron ships in the Navy, has excellent accommodation for troops, and, next to the Himalaya, is, without doubt, the most efficient troopship under the Crown. 'We are glad to find that steps have at length been taken to render her again available for the public service. The Hindostan, 78, having been repaired, was removed yesterday from No. 4 deck, in the Devon port dockyard, to her moorings among the steam reserve. It was intended to send her to the West Indies to do duty as a receiving ship, but the Abou kir has been left there for that purpose. The screw steam corvette Rattlesnake, 21, Capt. A. E. Wilmot, C. 8., was put out of No. 3 dock at Devonport, on Wednesday evening, and placed along side the hulk Endymion. The bottom of the corvette has been cleaned and her copper repaired. The screw steam gunboat Magpie, 3, was ap pointed to vacate the north basin at Keyham steam yard yesterday afternoon, and make a trial of her machinery to-day outside Plymouth breakwater. She will probably leave that port on Monday for Queenstown, to resume duty as tender to the Hawke. The copper has been stripped off from the bottom of his Prussian Alajesty's screw steam corvette Ar cona, 26, Capt. Sundewall, which is now in No. 1 dock at Devonport yard. The leakage, caused pro bably by the action of the propeller, is near the shafthole, which seems decayed. Artisans will be hired to expedite her repairs. The Prometheus, 5, 200-horse power, paddlewheel steam sloop, lately returned from the West Coast of Aft ica, is ordered to be taken into dock, at Chatham, to undergo a thorough overhaul and repair, the order for the Vixen, 6, 280-horse power, to be docked at Chatham having been countermandedby the Ad miralty. The Prometheus will ge into the dock now occupied by the Pylades, 21, 400-horse power, which has been some months in the hands of the ship wrights. The screw gunboat Sepoy, 2, 60-horse power, is fitting for the first division of the Chatham steam reserve. The Lily, 4, 200-horse power, is also fitting for the steam reserve squadron in the Medway, The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Henry J. Harvey, confirmed in rank of paymaster; and Josiah Sharp, in the Fisgard, confirmed as second-class assist.-engineer. '''''' t --c.- / ~ /~ ~ Cz--cr GC VIE 041 : 111 AL-bi..4 AS LAP CA/. --~•--- The following letter fr om Turin of the 23d, in the independance of Brussels, gives details of the state of public kcling in Ca!abri;Y„ the importance of which cannot, be overrated, if they arc founded on fact : Fresh circumstances every moment occur to com plicate more and more the state of affairs. What was new yesterday is old to-de; ; accounts follow each other with that precipitation which is the cha racteristic sign of the gravity of the moment. Alarms and false rumours make their way more then ever, r and, what is natural enough, the most absurd and the most terrible inventions are ercalated. It is the reaction against the optimism which prevailed at the commencement of the affair, when the Go vernment concealed and ettenuated the real state of things. The impurtant fact and the news of the day is the change which is about to take place in the operations of Garibaldi and of the party of action. Up to the present time Sicily has been the scene of action ; now it is about to be removed to the continent, and precisely into Calabria. That province is in a blaze, and several thousand voluu teers arc already there. They form three corps, one under General Corte, another under General Bruzzesi, and the third under Null°. They occupy the neigbourhood of the three great towns of Calabria—Cattanzaro, Reggio, and Coacnza. They arc waiting for Garibaldi, and their number every day increases by reinforcements from all sides, and especially from Sicily. It was at first thought that Garibaldi would go alone to the continent, and leave his volunteers in the island to afterwards join him in small bands or isolatedly. The ex-Dictator has adopted a precisely opposite course. As soon as he found the impossibility of crossing over to the continent with all his corps, he immediately devised the means of getting over the difficulty. It was then that the passage of the volunteers by bands of 50 and 100 was decided on. You will doubtless remember the inumerable de spatches which announced to the Government that the volunteers were deserting en masse from the Garibaldian camp. Every one was deceived, and the Government was the first to fall into the error. Those pretended desertions were only the breaking up of the camp. When Garibaldi advanced on Catania he had only about 2,500 men with him, and from Catania the movement towards the con tinent was carried on on a large scale, so that at the present time only a few hundreds of the volun teers remain in the island, and they will soon follow their companions. Garibaldi intends to embark the last, and, in spite of all the precautions of Persano, it will be difficult to prevent his reaching Calabria. It is thus that the movement to which no one at first paid any attention has now assumed such immense proportions, capable of compromising the future fate of the whole Italian Peninsula by consequences the nature and bearing by which it is impossible to foresee. The Monitear publishes the following at the head of its political summary : " According to the latest advices from Italy, Garibaldi left Catania at 11 p.m. on the 24th, with about 2000 men. The passage to Melito, where the expedition arrived the next morning at 5 o'clock, was made on board the steamer General Abbatucci, belonging to the Valery Company, which had been forcibly detained for two days at Catania. The squadron of evolutions, commanded by Vice-Admiral Regnault de Genouilly, has received orders to pro ceed from Ajaccio to the Bay of Naples." The squadron in question consists, according to the Opinion Nationale, of the line-of-battle ships Alex andre, Algesiras, Redoubtable, Bretagne, Castig lione, and Donawerth, and the despatch boat Caton. A Paris letter in the Independance Beige thus sums up a number of current reports : " It is said that an ultimatum has been sent by the Imperial Government to the Italian Ministry calling on the Government of Victor Emmanuel effectually to suppress the Garibaldian movement, and adding that, in the event of its inability to do so, France would herself exec u t e ix, the Two Sicilies the work which the Italian Monarch had failed to accomplish. The rumour in question goes even so far as to specify the contingencies to which this intervention may give rise, and ascribes to the Government the intention of occupying Gaeta, as a preliminary step ; further, the report pretends that these intentions, which have as yet no official foun dation, but rest on mere conjecture—have awakened the susceptibilities of England, and alleges that the British Cabinet has officially informed the Govern ment of France that if a French division thus ar bitrarily took possession of a fortress belonging to an independent prince recognised by the two na tions, and installed itself on the Neapolitan coast, at the same moment English vessels would land troops in Sicily. There is nothing serious in all this talk. Events have not indeed arrived at such a point, but the facts, such as they are presented in these surmises, have nothing, it must be acknow ledged, which is not logical, and if a dangerous path is once entered upon, events might realise what is yet but newsmongers speculation. It would be, indeed, serious to furnish Great Britain with an occasion for one of those occupations which with her have scarcely ever an end, when no resistance has been offered to them at the outset, and especially when they are coloured with a plausible pretext. Besides, it will no doubt not be from considerations of prudence —although sufficiently justified—that the denial which the French Government will oppose to those who attribute to it so rash a policy, must be re ceived. Notwithstanding the deplorable delays which perpetuate so lamentably the melancholy situation of Italy, the Conqueror of Solferino has evidently too much interest in the unitary mo narchy, which only exists through him, to inflict in the eyes of Europe such humiliation on the Mo narch who personifies that unity. Until further information no credit should therefore be attached to the report of that intervention. It is said that under these unsatisfactory circumstances, M. Bene detti will not hasten his return to Italy. The French Minister desires it will be easily understood that the situation should be clearly defined, or at least that a little light should be thrown upon it. It is also affirmed that at the camp of Chalons the Emperor consulted several general officers on the subject of the Garibaldian rising, and that the ex pressions of their military susceptibilities and wounded point of honour g reatly contributed to the tenor of the note which has just appeared in the Moniteur."
