THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY. In addition to the Blue-book from which we have s i re ady given such copious extracts, a white, or unbound, Parliamentary paper of 100 pages was issued yesterday, purporting to contain "further correspondence respecting the affairs of Italy." Now, as it happens that some of these documents are of startling importance, we lose not a moment in laying the most striking of them before our readers, not omitting any salient point educible from the mass of the papers, viewed, as the diplo- matists say, en bloc. There is a large number of despatches from our Consuls in Italy, reporting to the Foreign-office, as early as February last, the disturbed state of Massa and Carrara, and the intrigues of a committee resi dent in Turin with many " respectable people" in the latter part of the duchy, the object being to prepare the people for the arrival of Sardinian troops. The Duke of Modena, at this time was known to be " much vexed," but he asked (Mr. Cozen' Walton thinks " justly") " what he could do?' The sequel of this agitation is now matter of history. Mr. Scarlett reports from Florence (the 21st of April) that during the whole month of Feb_ ruary there was no " remarkable symptom" in Tuscany of political excitement, the people being then engrossed with "the pleasures and follies" of the Carnival, and more intent on pelting one another with sugarplums than practising the arts of war. The pamphlet published in Paris soon after was the spark that ingnited the powder, and finally induced the destruction of the Government of the Grand Duke. The Liberal party, generally, in Tuscany, had never forgiven this Prince, now in exile, for suppressing the constitution, which he had sworn to maintain, and for having allowed the Austrian occupation in 1849. Mr. Scarlett, whose leaning to the Grand Ducal Government is appa rent, could not help believing one opinion which the French Minister often announced—viz., that the possession of Lombardyis, or rather was, in reality, a source of weakness to Austria; but his only idea of alteration was the substitution for the yoke of the Hapsburgs of an Austrian Archduke, to be "King of Lombardy and Venice." The sudden retreat of the Grand Duke, and the surrender of his person to Austrian keeping, are re garded by Mr. Scarlett as a grievous , political blunder, calculated, by violating the principle of neutrality, to endanger the "future interests" of the dynasty. Nay, Mr. Scarlett even " protested" against the Duke's ignominious flight, and refused to sanction the step by his presence at his High ness's departure. It appears that the Government of the Grand Duke of Tuscany met a proposal of Count Cavour for an alliance, offensive and defensive, between Sardinia and Tuscany, in order that the two coun tries might make common cause in the war against Austria, with NN hat might have been expected— "an immediate refusal." Mr. Scarlett (30th of April)ldoes not give the date of this strange epi sode in the history of the Italian war. The following despatches refer to the refusal of our Government to recognise the new Provisional Government of Tuscany : " No. 24. (Translation.) " THE MARQUIS D'AZEGLIO TO THE EARL OF MAL MESBURY.—(Received May 10.) " 23, Park-lane, London, May 9. "M. le Comte,—The Government of the King having been informed by its Minister at Florence that a vessel belonging to the Royal British navy had entered and left Leghorn without saluting the national flag, expresses to me its opinion, which it wishes to preserve, that this act has taken place without the knowledge and, especially, the assent of the Government of her Majesty the Queen. " I should in consequence be much obliged to kour Excellency if you would, with your wonted indness, put me in a position to give an answer on this sublect, and to furnish the Government of the King with the information which it desires. " I take, &c., " t E. D'AZEGLIO." No. 25. " TIM EARL OF MALMESBURY TO TIIE MARQUIS D'AZEGLIO. " Foreign-office, May 10. " M. le Marquis, —I have received your letter of yesterday, in whic h you say that your Government having heard that one of her Majesty's ships of war had entered and left the port of Leghorn without saluting the national flag, was desirous of suppos ing that this circumstance occurred without the knowledge, and, above all, without the approval of her Majesty's Government ; and you request to be enabled to return an answer to your Government on the subject. " In reply to your letter, I must assume that it does not bear an official form. Were it otherwise, it would be my duty to answer you by asking in what public character you put the question to her Majesty's Government ? " With this understanding I have no objection to state that, in reply to a question addressed to me by Mr. Scarlett, her Majesty's ship Conqueror, lying at Leghorn for the protection of British sub jects, was directed by her Majesty's Government not to salute the flag of the Provisional Govern. ment of Tuscany, which is the one to which I sup pose you allude. " Her Majesty's Ministers are, as yet, entirely ignorant of the position and nature of that Government.—l am, &c., " MALMESBURY." " No. 43. " THE EARL OF MALMESBURY TO SIR I. HUDSON " Foreign-office, May 20, 1859. " Sir,—The Marquis d'Azeglio called at this office on the Bth inst., and requested, as he stated, by order of his Government, Mr. Fitzgerald to in form him why her Majesty's ship Conqueror, lying at Lghorn, did not salute the national flag. Mr. Fitzgerald, in reply, asked M. d'Azeglio in what character he made the inquiry, and what was the flag which he characterised as national.' " The Marquis d'Azeglio did not assume to bear any other character than that of Sardinian Minis ter ; and Mr. Fitzgerald understood that by the term national flag,' he intended to designate the flag of Sardinia, which it was said had been placed on all the public buildings when the revolution broke out. " Mr. Fitzgerald observed that the captain of the Conqueror was acting under instructions from home ; but he added that the fact of the Marquis d'Azeglio asking an explanation on such a matter wa s much too serious, and the question itself too important, to be treated of otherwise than in writing. " The Marquis d'Azeglio havin g urged th a t it Government had been the practice of the BritishG to recognise de facto Governments , i‘ir. said that the doing so must depend on circum stances. Her Majesty's Government could not shut their eyes to events which accompanied the esta blishment of a new Government, and questions con nected with European treaties might have to be considered- 'and if her Majesty's Government were precipitately and without due deliberation to recog nise any Government that might be established in any foreign country, they might possibly have to recognise half-a-dozen different and succes sive Gevernments in as many days. Where foife Mr. Fitzgerald repeated his request that the Marquis would apply officially and in writing for the explanation that he sought, so that her Ma jesty's Government might clearly understand the ground on which the application was made. " In consequence of what passed on this occasion, the Marquis d'Azeglio addressed to me on the 9th inst., the note, of which I enclose a copy, and I re turned to him the answer, of which I also enclose a copy ; and he subsequently called upon me, and repeated his desire to receive an explanation. " I though it better at oncq to treat the Sardinian. Minister's application as bearing an unofficial cha racter, although, even in that mitigated form, it was scarcely less ill-judged than if it had been of a strictly official nature ; but while he admitted that it did not bear the latter construction, he neverthe less continued to press the point. "I then asked him by what authority he spoke in the name of the Tuscan Government ; and I in formed him that, although they knew, from various sources ; that the Grand Duke had been expelled fromh ad Florence, and that a Provisional Government thereupon been established, her Majesty's Go vernment had received no official intimation of the fact. " The Marqui s d t A referred tozeglio quoted precedents, and thepi principle generally acted upon in in this country in regardplic the recognition of de facto Governments, his assertion that the captain of the Conqueror should at once have ac knowledged the Tuscan ion. I observed to him that, although 1 admitted°this country such was the coou9try acted, and general principle On which which we had carried out in re successive de facto Governments in France and other a que stion r States, yet the application of it must alwaysbe ha of dis cretion, and must depend upon the circu stances of each case. If her Majesty's Government and without waiting for further informationt eonce' nisedthe revolutionary Go vernment set u p in Parma n simultaneously with the es tablishment of th, new Government in Tuscany, their recognition of it on arriving at Parma would have found that in the interval a counter-revolution had taken place, and that the Government of the Grand Duchess had been restored. " I told the Marquis d'Azeglio, further, that her Majesty's Government were not satisfied with the nature of the new Tuscan Government; that, as far as they knew, it bore the appearance of a move ment made by Sardinian partisans to attach the Grand Duchy to Piedmont, and of the King of Sardinia exercising sovereign rights in the Grand Duchy. He had named a Sardinian official, M. Buoncompagni, as High Commissioner over the Civil Departments, and a foreigner (I believe a Spaniard),- General Ulloa, as Commander of the army, which, moreover, was a Piedmontese, and not a Tuscan force. " All this, I said, if true, raised quite a different question from that of the simple recognition of a de facto National Government establiqhed by a free, and independent State, and trenched upon the treaties of 1815, and the territorial arrangements made therein. " The Marquis observed that he thought those treaties were nearly set aside, to which I replied that they were as binding as ever as between neutrals and belligerents, and that her Majesty's Government were determined thht they should con tinue to be so. H av i n g added that it was by my instructions the Conqueror did not salute the Tuscan flag the conversation ceased. "It is needless to observe that her s Majesty ' Go vernment consider this proceeding of the Sardinian Government to be singularly misplaced and ill judged; and I have to instruct you to express that opinion, on their part, to Count Cavour. " I am, &c., " MALMESBURY." The following inportant despatch reveals the views of the Emperor of the French on undertaking he war : " No. 27. • " EARL COW LEY TO THE EARL OF MALMESBURY, (Received May 14.) (Extract.) "Foreign-office, May 12, 1859. " I have the honour to apprise your Lordship that I returned to Paris yesterday. " I called this afternoon on Count Walewski, when his Excellency informed me that the Em peror had regretted not having seen me before his departure, as his Majesty had been particularly desirous to state to me the sentiments under which he was about to take the field ; but, in consequence of my absence from Paris, his Majesty, just before his departure, had written to Count Walewski, charging him to assure me that in assuming the command' of his army his Majesty's intentions were to localise the war as much as possible, to respect the neutrality of Germany, to give no countenance to any attempts at revolution, more especially with regard to Turkey, whose possessions in the Adriatic would be scrupulously respected, and to confine his military operations to driving the Austrians out of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom. His Majesty further declared that he would ever be ready to treat for peace, when suitable conditions were offered him. " I did not conceal from Count Walewski my ap prehensions that the Emperor's programme could not be carried out. It was not likely, I said, that Austria would consent to dispossess herself of her Italian possessions until after a series of reverses that might bring the French troops to the walls of Vienna. Under such circumstances, I hardly needed to add that the war would not remain localised, or a purely Austrian and Italian war. Then, again, with respect to the Emperor's inten tion to give no countenance- to revolutions, but little attention would be paid to that assurance so long as Sardinia, the friend and ally of France, was acting in a diametrically contrary spirit. Nobody would believe that France could not pre vent this. However, the Emperor's declaration with regard to Turkey would be received with satisfac tion by her Majesty's Government, and I trusted that the French Government would exert the in fluence which they possessed over the Russian and Sardinian Governments to induce them to abstain from provoking complications in the East. ' " CountiValewski replied that he had great hopes that the war would not be of long du., .ration, and defence of German interests which the great re sources of Prussia andthe position that she holds in the Confederation qualify leer to perform. But the public feeling in Germany generally, and even in the Prussian territories, which is daily acquiring more force, will scarcely permit Prussia much longer to maintain her expectant policy, and there is every reason to anticipate that not many days will elapse before some decided indication is givem by the Confederation of its determination to look upon the cause of Austria as 'vitally bound up - with the general interests of the whole German race. " Her Majesty's Government have done their utmost, -within the bounds of friendly representa tion, to calm the excitement prevailing in Germany, but they have not felt themselves called upon or authorised to dissuade the German States from taking such measures as those States considered to be necessary for the maintenance of their several interests ; for they could not assume the responsi bility of even morally guaranteeing them against the eventualities of the Italian war. "Her Majesty's Government have distinctly de clared that Germany must not be influenced by arriving at a decision on the momentous question now under the consideration of the Diet by any hope of succour from this country. "jeer Majesty's Government, in accordance with the commands of the Queen, and with the universal concurrence of the British nation, as displayed at the late elections, desire to maintain the strictest neutrality in the present war between Austria and France. They are determined to keep themselves unfettered by any engagements, expressed or im plied, which would restrict their freedom of action in any circumstances that may arise. They will judge for themselves, and they will not embarrass their policy by any previous declarations, or by any previous expression of opinion. " This language, which her Majesty's Govern ment have held to Germany with reference to the prevailing excitement in that country, they hold also to the Powers now engaged in active hostili ties ; and you will give the Sardinian Government clearly to understand that as regards the questions now at issue her Majesty's Government will abstain 'rom all interference, direct or indirect, whatever. " I am, &c., VIALMESBURY." We now come to the Pope. Early in May Cardinal Antonelli addressed a note to the Austrian Envoy in Rome announcing the Papal neutrality. The Government of Vienna replied by a promise "to respect the Papal terri tory by preserving it from the consequences of war on the part of Austria, supposing the other belli gerents followed an identical course of conduct." On the 17th of May the Cardinal told Mr. Odo Russell how much the Pope had been gratified by the repeated assurances from France " that no event in the future should interfere with the peace and quiet of Rome," his Eminence adding that the Papal Government, besides being neutral, was practically compelled to ignore the events that " threatened " Italy. The following despatch on this subject is worth quoting : " No. 60. EARL COWLEY TO THE EARL OF MALMESBURY " (Received May 25.) " Paris, May 24, 1859. " My Lord,—The Due de Grammont, who, it ap pears was sent for by the Emperor to come to Ales sandria, was the bearer of an autograph letter of the Pope to his Majesty, in which his Holiness re peated the assurances already given, under another form, to the French Government—that he consi dered himself safe under the protection of France, and had no intention of quitting Rome. He stipu lated for the neutrality of the Papal dominions. The Emperor replied, verbally, that his Majesty would respect that neutrality as long as it was re spected by the Austrians. " I understand that an agraettient has been en tered into between the Austrian and Papal Govern- ments, by which the latter bind themselves not to augment the garrisons of Bologna and Ancona, nor to raise any exterior fortification§ round the latter place. In pursuance of this agreement, the garri son of Ancona, which had been augmented to 6,000 men, has been reduced one-half.—l have, &c. " COWLEY." Count Walewski, on the 27th of May, told Lord Cowley that he had no knowledge of the refusal of the Government of. Sardinia to recognise Papal neutrality, and should hear such an announcemen with regret. We must now return to the affairs of Tuscany and Parma. The ex-Grand Duke appears to have protested" against the seizure of Tuscany by the King of Sardinia. The Cabinet of Vienna, of course, backed these protests. On the 23d of May Count Walewski, in denying to Earl Cowley a re port that the Tuscan maritime flag was to be taken under the protection of the two Powers (France and Piedmont), took occasion to add that he had formally and officially declared to the Sardinian Minister that the French Government did not re cognise the authority exercised by Sardinia in Tuscany. The presence and acts of Prince Napo leon in the late Grand Duchy will partly explain this ; and at the commencement of this month the Russian Ambassador in Paris formally notified to the French Cabinet that the Czar would not recog nise the Provisional Government of Tuscany, and that his Imperial Majesty considered the Grand Duke as the lawful Sovereign of that Duchy ? Mr. Scarlett's more recent despatches do not en Lighten the mystery. We subjoin the following : " No. 68. " MR SCARLETT TO THE EARL OF MALMESBURY " (Received May 30.) " Florence, May 21,1859. "My Lord,—l have the honour to enclose the extract of a letter from Mr. Macbean, her Majesty's Consul at Leghorn, informing me of the expected arrival of the rest of Prince Napoleon's force alluded to in my despatch of this day's date. " By this it appears that 2,000 French troops are destined to occupy Leghorn, and the same number to be quartered at Florence. The remainder of the force, it is supposed, will march against the Aus trians. _ _ " I take this opportunity of stating, upon good authority, that Marchese Gualterio has obtained a large credit upon a banker at Florence, to aid in the organisation of a separate Italian corps d'armee to be commanded by Gen. Mezzocapo, a Piedmon tese officer, consisting in all arms of 25,000 troops. This body of men is to - be raised in central Italy, and will, no doubt, be ready to act with Prince Napoleon's corps d'armee against the Austrians. " I have heard of no symptom anywhere of sepa rate republican views for the regeneration of Italy. All distinctions of politicians are lost in a general deep-rooted determination to drive the Austrians out of Italy first. " The republican party have made a compromise of their opinions for the present with the moderate Liberals, in the hope of profiting by any contin gencies which may hereafter favour their own pe culiar opinions ; if in future time Austria and France both abandon Italy to itself, or when the latter Power should become less opposed than at present to a republican form of government.—l have, &c., " P. CAMPBELL SCARLETT." " Inclosure in No. 68. " CONSUL MACBEAN V MR. SCARLETT. " (Extract.) " Leghorn, May 20, 1859. " I reported to you the arrival here this morning of 200 to 300 French soldiers, but I am told this evening that their number does not reach 200. I hear that about 20,000 may be expected here alto gether ; that 2,000 are to garrison Leghorn, 2,000 to go to Florence, and the remainder are to march against the Austrians. The French general, who arrived here this morning, has been to visit the barracks and fortresses, as also the lazzarettos, and the local at San Jacopo, which is known as the Cholera Hospital, with the view of ascertaining what accommodation Leghorn offers for the recep tion of foreign troops. I am told there are only two companies of Tuscan troops remaining here. It is reported that Bastogi and Co., the bankers, have issued an order for 20,000 rations for the troops who are expected to arrive. Those who landed to-day did not come up the Via Grande, although prepara tions have been made there and in the Piazza w fo o r uld Grande t o g i ve th em a d emons t ra ti on o f we l come ; it would a pp ear th a t t h e o ffi cers w h o came t o -d a y wish any s uc h d emonr t ra ti on to be r eserved the Prince Napoleon whose arrival here is spoken of a s likely to take place about Monday next." The proclamations of Prinee a N s a w p e o l l l e o a n s i t n he Tuscany procla mation have already been published, Sardinia, calling upon the Tuscan d s son-in-law as they would himself. The Prussian Government has distin c tly o s f o i the i e r King st o ob ey of his refused to recog nise the Provisional Go v e rnmen t, and ordered its agent at Florenc e to remove the Royal Arms from his l,ouse. O ur own Govern ment, on second thongi .its, desired Mr. Scarlett to remain at Florence, a Aid not to remove her Majes ty's Arms from the British Legation. A last de spatch from the Envoy we annex : (No. 89.) " MR. SCARLETT 9'O THE EARL OF MALMESBURY. (TiveeiVCd June 9.) (Extract.) " Florence, June 2. " Having infr_4 a led the Marquis Ridolfi, the Tus. :hat a few months would see the end of it. " With respect to the observations which I bad made respecting the proceedings of Sardinia, Count Walewski said that he coincided in them entirely, and that he had had a long conversation on this subject with the Emperor previous to his Majesty's departure; and, with his Majesty's authorisation, he had written to Turin to say that Sardinia must renounce all kind of isolated action, and must, more over, abstain from giving any encouragement what ever to the revolutionary party in Italy. " Alluding to what I had said with regard to Turkey, Count Walewski observed that he had re ceived the most unequivocal assurances from the Russian Government of their desire to see the tran- quillity of Turkey maintained. He felt, sure, there fore, that revolutionary movements in the Ottoman dominions would receive no encouragement from Russia. " With regard to France, Count Walewski assured me that the Imperial Government was most anxious that no cause of umbrage should ba given to her Majesty's government on any question regarding Turkey. PI. de Thonvenel had received orders to return to his post sooner than he had intended, with the sole view of giving greater weight to the Empe ror's intentions in this respect He would receive the most positive instructions to act in complete concert with Sir Henry Bulwer ; to consult him on every question which might arise ; and on no ac• count to separate himself from her Majesty's am bassador. He was to discourage, and, as far as he could, control all attempts to set the Sultan's authority at naught ; and special instructions of a similar nature would be furnished to all French agents in the East. N. de Thouvenel, moreover, would take Athens in his way to Constantinople, with the exclusive object of im pressing upon the Greek Government the necessity of abstaining from all intrigues to excite rebellion among the Greek subjects of the Porte. "I cannot doubt, from: Count Walewski's tone and language, that it is . the sincere wish of the Imperial Government to prevent any question arising which could in any way occasion differences with her Majesty's Government. " I took this opportunity of calling Count Wale wski's attention to the language reported to be held by certain of the French representatives abroad. They already began to talk, I said, of the treaties of 1815 being at an end. Such proceedings, I ob served, were not calculated to inspire confidence in the Emperor's intentions, and must necessarily cause great alarm in Europe. " Count Walewski expressed surprise at what I told him, as he had lately sent circular instruc tions inculcating the greatest soberness of lan guage." The following equally—perhaps, more—impor tant despatch was intended to allay the impetuo sity of the Germanic Confederation, and to warn the Germans that they must not count on the assistance, direct or indirect, or the co-operation, covert or overt, of the Government of Great Bri tain : " No. 42. " THE EARL OF MALMESBURY TO SIR J. HUDSON " Foreign-office, May 20, 1859. " Sir,—The excitement which the expectation of hostilities breaking out between Austria and France gave rise to in Germany has been increased to such an extent by the actual commencement of war between those two Powers that there is every reason to apprehend some overt manifestation on the part - of the Germanic Confederation of its determination to make common cause with Austria for the defence of , h , T er he lta o li o a s n ,e p rn os m se en s st i s f on o s. Germany have had no o ccasion to inflame the passions of the people by appealing to their sympathie s i n f avour of a kind red Power engaged in a deadly struggle with France for the maintenance of the territoriesconse curedby the currenttreaty,butha of have, on contrary, to it merely , gone with popular feeling, which imperatively ca lls for decide d action on the part of the Confederation. " Independently of the sympathy regarded,wit a hwhichthe fortunes of the Imperial house are 11classes deep conviction is entertained by alm ost a _ e of the t German community that the safety of . h commo n o li s t t y ili o ti f e A s u osf country is closely connected with the ability tria'to maintain herself against the France. It is felt that success in Italy,followedas it would be, by the b r eaking up of those great for tresses which form a bulwark to all Germany on the' Tyrolese frontier and of the territorial arrangements of 1815 applicable to that country, will be but an n ducemeht to France to make a further attempt to subvert those arrangements on the Rhine ; and that the probability of success in the latter course will be greatly in favour of France if she does not enter upon it until she has paralysed the power of Austria in.her more vulnerable possessions. " For this reason Germany considers that her fu ture destiny is in a great measure involved in the result of the Italian war; and that it would be a suicidal policy on her part to stand aloof, and allow Austria to be subdued single-handed, and thereby incapacitated in the contingency which all Germany looks upon as certain to arise from contributing to the defence of the common country. " The Cabinet of Berlin has alone, of all the Ger man Governments, resisted as far as possible the popular feeling. It has been wisely anxious not to precipitate matters, although it has not shown itself backward in making such preparations as will enabl e it, when the time arrives, to play the part in the THE S can Minister for Foreign Affairs, privately, that I was about to proceed to Parma, his Excellency called upon me to see me before my departure. " I took that opportunity of explaining to him the position in which her Majesty's Legation is now placed in Florence. I pointed out my inabi lity at this moment to hold more than unofficial relations with the Tuscan authorities, observing that Count Walewski had informed Lord Cowley that the Marquis de Ferriere was exactly in the same unofficial relationship to the Tuscan Govern ment as myself; but I added that, although my Prussian colleagne had removed the coat of arms of his mission from the Prussian Chancellerie, it was not my intention to make any alteration in that respect at my own house. " I think I ought to mention here to your lordship that great interest has been lately manifested by both Tuscan and foreign inhabitants of Florence as to the intention of her Majesty's Government with reference to an expected removal of the Queen's arms, and my house has been daily visited by both natives and British subjects also, to ascer tain whether the arms still remained untouched; and I may likewise add, that great satisfaction is generally evinced by their being allowed to remain where they are. " In the course of my conversation with Signor Ridolfi, I adverted to the unnecessary embarrass ment which had been occasioned by the already quasi annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont, by the appointment of a Piedmontese Commissioner instead of a Tuscan subject, which had, at least, the ap pearance of destroying Tuscan independence, and placing this country entirely at the disposal of the King of Sardinia. " Marquis Ridolfi admitted the existence of this anomaly, but assured me that thg object in view was not to unite Tuscany to Piedmont, but only to give during the war greater authority to the con trolling power of the State, and to concentrate as much as possible, all the opinions and energies of the country in favour of the war of independence under the King. " I said I had been given to understand that French troops had been sent here especially from Piedmont to prevent the possible machinations of the Republican party. "In reply to this observation Marquis Ridolfi admitted that to be one of the reasons given for sending French troops into Tuscany, but he said that he himself heti not entertained any fears on that score ; that he was certain the public mind in general was too much occupied now with war to be led away by political intrigues ; and that, unless it might be the EMperor's intention, for military ope rations against Austria, to throw a considerable corps trartnee into Tuscany, he saw no other good and sufficient reason for the arrival of so imposing a French force as that under Prince Napoleon's command. " Marquis Ridolfi, during his visit, intimated to me his belief that, although there was a strong Piedmontese party in Tuscany, the majority of the country were attached to the Royal family, and would really desire to see, at a future time, their restoration ; but lie said that every one who felt such an attachment must bitterly deplore their continuing obstinately to reside in Austria, by which act the Grand Duke compromises his own position towards Tuscany, as well as that of his eldest son the Archduke Ferdinand. " Before our conversation drew to a close I asked M. Ridolfi what had become of Cavaliere Cambray Digny and his mission to London. "He replied that on his arrival at Turin he learned there that his reception in London in a diplomatic capacity was too doubtful to be risked, and that there was some intention of attaching him to Marquis d'Azeglio's mission." As regards Parma, it appears that the Duchess made strong appeals, which were supported by Lord Malmesbury, to have the neutrality of her duchy recognised, and that her Royal Highness (June 2) desired to place herself under the protec tion of France. She has since taken refuge in Switzerland. Massa-Carrara, according to Sir J. Hudson, is neither annexed to nor incorporated with Sardinia. The following despatch, with which we must con clude, expresses the views of Lord Malmesbury as regards the Government of Naples : " No. 81. " THE EARL OF MALMESBURY TO MR. ELLIOT. " Foreign-office, June 5, 1859. " Sir,—Her Majesty having seen fit to evince her desire to take the earliest opportunity of replacing the relations between this country and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies on a more friendly footing, by sending you to Naples on a special mission, to offer to the King of the Two Sicilies her congratulations on his accession to the throne, the Neapolitan Go vernment may infer from this step that your mission will be followed up by the appointment of a Minister to reside permanently at the Court of Naples. Her Majesty's Government trust, indeed, that this re newal of diplomatic relations will not be unaccom pan ed on the part of the Neapolitan Government by some indication as to its future policy, from which a reasonable expectation can be entertained by her Majesty that the commencement of a new reign will be attended with a new system of internal ad ministration ; and you will state confidentially to M. Carara that the tenour of the King's proclama tion on his accession, and the absence of any allu sion to amnesty for political offences, or to the re vocation of the decree issued by the late King on the 27th of December last, for the trial by martial law of persons apprehended on the vague charge of having offended against the security of the State, have produced a strong feeling of disappointment in the Government and people of this country. I will say no more, because it would be, on the part of any Government, an ungenerous and un courteous act to assume that a young Sovereign is not resolved to make the happiness of his subjects the paramount object of his future reign. Her Ma jesty's Government are convinced that the present youthful King of Naples will lend an attentive ear to those complaints, an indifference to which has in other parts of Italy, and at Naples itself, led to so much strife and suffering. " I am, &c., " MALMESBURY." POLICE INTELLIGENCE—June 1 BOW-STREET.—Mr. Charles Clarke, described as box-office keeper at the Victoria Theatre, at tended before Mr. Jardine, to answer a summons preferred against him by Mr. Richard Flexmore, the well-known pantomimist, charging him with perjury. Mr. Hall, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Collins, solicitor, for the defence. It appeared that, in the early part of May, Mr. Flexmore was indebted to the defendant in the sum of £35, being the balance due on a bill of exchange for £5O. On the 17th May Mr. Clarke, who lives next door to Mr. Flexmore, at Hercules-buildings, Lambeth, had,a conversation with him, on the sub ject of certain statements which Mr. Clarke had heard, to the effect that Mr. Flexmore was about to leave the country, in order to accompany his father in-law, Mr. Auriol, on a continental tour, and that he intended to stay away. After this occurrence Mr. Clarke applied to the Court of Queen's Bench for a writ ne exeat regno, in order to hold Mr. Flexmore to bail that he should not leave England till he had paid the debt. Mr. Clarke supported his application by an affidavit, to the effect that, in the conversation before referred to. Mr. Flex more had declared his intention of going abroad immediately after his benefit at the Surrey Theatre, which was to take place on the 26th May. On that affidavit the writ was granted, and Mr. Flex more was arrested. He was detained in prison all night and the following day. He authorised a friend to settle the matter for him, and defendant's claim having been satisfied he was liberated. Mr. Flexmore positively swore that throughout the conversation of the 17th May he emphatically denied he had any intention of going abroad. It was impossible for him to entertain any such in tention, partly from his state of health, and partly from other circumstances. His health was so bad that he could not perform, except that on his benefit night he was compelled to appear as Clown. He could have no engagement with his father-in law, with whom he was not at that time on good terms. He had not disposed of any portion of his furniture, or of his pony and chaise, as was alleged by Mr. Clarke. Mrs. Flexmore (formerly Mdlle. Auriol) corrobo rated the greater portion of her husband's evidence, but was unable to swear that she had heard the whole conversation. . Mr. Jardine said there was not sufficient corro boration to justify him in sending the case for trial. For aught Mrs. Flexmore could prove it might be that at the close of the conversation (which she called " a wrangle") Mr. Flexmore might have said, " It is of no use to sue me, I shall gd ? abroad after my benefit." The case must be dismissed. CLERKENWELL.-L-AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE or ROBBERY,—Louisa Palmer, aged 23, described as a general servant out of a situation, was placed before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing a brooch and a pair of bracelets from her mistress, under the following extraordinary cir cumstances : _ The prisoner had been in the employ of her mistress. a lady residing at Kingsland, for some time. On Sunday week last the family went in the morning as usual to church, and on their return were surprised that they could not obtain an entrance. After the lapse of some time the back wall was scaled, and the house entered ; but the prisoner, who was the only person left at home, could not be found. Some of the room doors were found broken open, and upon making a search groans were heard proceeding from the inside of the water-butt. Upon looking inside the prisoner was found there with her arms tied. She was at once got out and the cords cut, when she stated that two men had entered the house and had bound her in the way she was found, and, in addition to things of her mistress which they had taken, they had also stolen her watch. Inspector Stacey of the N division was sent for, and, from the statements of the girl, his suspicions were aroused. A surgeon was sent for, but he could not discover any bruises on her body, which he stated must have been there had she been pushed into the water-butt. After wards the prisoner's watch was found concealed under her bed, and she then confessed that she had got into the water-butt herself, and that the pro perty would be found in the coach-house. The prisoner in defence said she was very sorry for what she had done, and would never do the like again. A gentleman who attended on behalf a the pro secutrix said, that there was no wish to prosecute, as it was considered the punishment the prisoner had undergone was sufficient. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was very foolish. lle then discharged her with a caution. LAMBETH.—THE NOTORIOUS DR. WATTERS. John Nicholls 'Patters and Claudius Edwards, were again brought up before the Hon. G. C. Norton, to undergo a further examination in reference to the charge of conspiring to defraud Mr. Thos. Jones of one guinea. Since the first investigation into the case, other charges have been preferred against them, and which were gone into on the present occasion. Mr. Lewis, jun., was engaged for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Neale for the prisoners. It will be recollected that Mr. Jones, who resided in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, being afflicted with deafness, went to a house, No. 28, Mount street, Westminster-road, which was purported to be occupied by the prisoner Watters, and who pro fessed, by the medicines he supplied to be able to cure deafness. It was now stated by Mr. Lewis that he should bring forward evidence to connect the prisoners with an establishment which was a few years ago in existence, at No. 32, Spring gardens, and known as " the British and Foreign Free Ear Infirmary," with which the notorious Bennetts were at that time connected. Mr: Lewis read several letters, and manuscript and printed documents, which showed that the prisoners were connected with the Free Ear Infirmary. He also read some of the advertising bills, in one of which it was stated that tie medi- tine recommended for deafness would effect a cure in a day or two, however long a person had been afflicted with it, so that the person would be able to hear the ticking of a watch at an arms'-length off. He further stated that he would show that, at the house in Mount-street, Westminster-road, the prisoner Waters had assumed the name of Dr. Locock. (He produced a letter which had the signature of Locock, with the letters M.D. attached.) The following witnesses were examined: — Mr. John C. Roope said that he was a clerk in the Medical Registration Office, 32, Soho-square. A medical register of qualified practitioners was kept there. There is no such name as John Nicholls Watters in the list. By Mr. Neale—The act does not come into opera tion till the Ist of July. Mary Anne Stanley, 184, Prospect-place, St. John's-wood, stated that, in the month of October, 1857, she saw an advertisement in the newspapers, in which deafness was purported to be cured at " the British and Foreign Free Ear Infirmary." She saw Edwards there. She asked to see the prisoner Watters, who afterwards came in. He examined her ears, and said hs would cure her in eight days. He added that he had seen 60 patients that day, and that he had been deaf himself and had cured himself. Among his patients cured was an admiral who had been deaf several years. She asked him what he would charge. He replied £8 or £9. She left, and the same night Edwards brought her a box containing three phials. She gave him £9 35., and he gave her a receipt signed 66J. N. Nicholls." One bottle contained a lotion to bathe the back of the ear, and another contained medicine to drop into the ear. There was also an embrocation. Mr. Lewis—Did the medicine do you any good ? Witness—Not at all. It did me an injury at the time. I afterwards had another bottle, which he said was more expensive. After I applied it I got worse. I subsequently sent him a lawyer's letter, but it had no effect. Thomas Carpenter, 114, Douglas-street, Dept ford, said that in September, 1857, he called at the Free Ear Infirmary in consequence of seeing an advertisement. He called there to get advice for his daughter. He saw Edwards, who represented himself as Dr. Watters. This witness gave nearly similar evidence as to the advice given and the remedies prescribed. He wanted to get his daugh ter into the infirmary, when he was told that he must either become a subscriber of £5, or get a subscriber. Sophia Stiff, 34, Vauxhall-street, Kennington, said, in March, 1857, she called at the infirmary. She saw Edwards, who said that she would be cured in three weeks. He gave her three bottles, and she paid him 7s. for them. They did her more harm than good. Thomas Cottrell, carpenter, Southwark-bridge road, said he went to :the infirmary in January, 1857. He saw Edwards, who fetched Watters. He had three bottles given him, for which he was asked 15s. He gave 10s. After he took them home he thought there was something wrong, and .never used them. Inspector Young, who has had the case in hand, produced several printed papers, found on the pri soner's premises in Mount-street, referring to the Free Ear Infirmary. He found there hundreds and thousands of labels, as also a letter with the signature of " Skinner" attached. Mr. Lewis now said he would produce evidence to show that an analysis of the " medicine " had been made, and what that analysis had detected. Mr. Edward Rogers, 41, Denbigh-streets, Pim lico, late professor of chemistry at St. George's School of Medicine, Grosvenor-place, produced several phials and bottles which had been given him ,to analyse; one contained sulphate of zinc, spirit of lavender and an iron deposit. Mr. Lewis—would that be effectual in the cure of deafness ? Witness—Not the slightest. I should not like to use it. Another contained sulphate of lead and an acetate of lead. The drops contained !rape oil, oil of olives, and a small quantity of soap. H. Matthews, assistant to Mr. Medlock, 20 Great Marlborough-street, gave similar evidence of some " medicine'' that had been given to him to analyse. In one of the large bottles about half the liquid was urine. Mr. Lewis observed that this was the evidence he had at present to adduce in reference to the Free Ear Infirmary. On the next occasion witnesses would come forward to show that the name of " Locock " had been used at the establishment in Mount-street. He begged to say that the medical profession, whose cause he advocated, were obliged to Mr. Norton for the attention he had paid to the evidence which had been adduced to expose the fraud. The witnesses were bound over to prosecute in the case, and the prisoners were again remanded. THAMES.—THE CASE OF GODFREY V. NEW TON.—RIOTING. —Thomas Ringrose, aged 33, a shoemaker, of No. 1, Mary-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with creating a disturbance opposite the house of Dr. John God frey, in Mount-place, Whitechapel-road, interrupt ing him in his business, and assaulting him. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, watched the case for the prosecution, but did not take any part in it. It will be recollected that Dr. Godfrey was the defendant in an action for seduction about three months ago, and that, after a trial which lasted for five days in the Court of Common Pleas, a verdict was returned in his favour. On Monday and Tues day Dr. Godfrey prosecuted Mr. William Newton, the proprietor and editor of the East London Obser ver, for libel, arising out of some comments in that journal after the trial of the case " Gardner v. God frey." The jury acquitted Mr. Newton, and gave_ him a verdict on all the issues. There was a good deal of excitement, assemblages of, people, rioting in the Whitechapel-road for several daaysafter the termination of-the case " Gardnereve. God frey." Since the acquittal of Mr. Newton on Tues day last at the Central Criminal Court,in blawes have excite ment has been intense, disorderly ' ass h e ouse, and he mustered in front of Dr. Godfrey has been openly insulted, hooted, hissed, and use in Arbour when he drove to the station street East, Stepney, adjoining the ° c . ourt, on Thurs-: charge agamst Ringrose, a day night, to prefer the shouting and yelling. Upon followed his carriage. Upon leaving the station-house he was again fol lowed by the mob , and the cries, shrieks, and yells were continued. The case of Godfrey and Ringrose was no sooner called on in the afternoon than the court was crowded to excess. Dr. Godfrey said—l am a physician, and have a surgery and c onsulting-rooms at No. 3, Mount place, Whitechapel-road. I complain that the prisoner has excited a mob to insult me. He was standing last night with a dense mob of low and disorderly blackguards in front of my house. They were hooting Fad hissing. I heard a man I saw at Newton's trial call out, " Serve him out I know nothing of the prisoner. I saw a man in the crowd hooting and hissing. The prisoner also hooted and hissed. I went to my door, and reached it with some difficulty. When I came out of my house again to assist a patient, I saw the prisoner again exciting the mob and shouting. I asked a police-constable to take him into custody, and he endeavoured to do so and could not. A stone was thrown which hit me on the back. Mr. Yardley—Did the prisoner throw that stone ? Dr. Godfrey—l cannot say that he did. The prisoner in his defence said that he was seated on a chair, outside a beer-shop, smoking his pipe, and hearing a tremendous cry and shout ing, he went to see what was the matter, and the doctor caught hold of him by the collar and said t 3 a policeman, this is one. He told the doctor he was wrong, and that he attended his (the prisoner's) family. Dr. Godfrey—And I have been very kind to you. The Prisoner—Yes, I know you have. Police-constable 77 K; said that between eight and nine o'clock on Thursday evening there was a mob in front of Dr. Godfrey's house, and they re mained there until nine, and were occasionally very clamorous, shouting, hallooing, and whistling. The doctor, when he came out of his house, was hustled, and he seized the prisoner, and said, " This is one of them." Mr. Yardley—Was there such a mob in the Whitechapel-road last night as was calculated to cause fear in the minds, dr the inhabitants? Witness—There was, indeed, Sir. Mr. Yardley—lf that be so it was an unlaw ful assemblage, and every person contributing and mingling in the riot is liable to prosecution. I have no legal knowledge of any trial or proceedings which have occurred elsewhere. I can only know judicially what has taken place, but I may ask, is there not great excitement. The policeman said there was, and that thieves and disorderly characters took advantage of the excitement to plunder and create disturbances. Mr. Yardley-- ! -I say, emphatically, the public peace is not to be disturbed on account of the result of any trial that has lately taken place. If the prosecutor has been engaged in a trial, and been unsuccessful, he is not to be insulted and hooted. The prosecutor has been punished enough by the ill success he has met with. The prisoner had no right to take upon himself to judge whether Dr. Godfrey was right or wrong, or to hoot an d hiss him. Such a proceeding was monstrous. Had the excitement ceased ? Inspector Griffin said the excitement had not ceased, and he was afraid was not likely to cease. After the trial of the case Gardner v. Godfrey, where the doctor was successful, the excitement was so great that he had to employ ten extra policemen in the Whitechapel-road, opposite the houses of Dr. Godfrey and Mr. Gardner, and ten more in reserve at the station-hou!e ; and since the acquittal of Mr. Newton for a libel on Dr. Godfrey, the excitement had been intense, and he had been compelled to employ an extra force. Dr. Godfrey said. he had material witnesses in attendance to prove a conspiracy on•, the part of some of Newton's committee, the prisoner, and others to ruin him. Mr. Yardley said he could not hear such evidence. His object was to stop offences. If the prisoner was proved to be a participator in an unlawful as semblage and riot, or to have contributed only to the mob by his presence, he was liable to be in dicted, and if found guilty to be severely punished. Such infamous conduct as this was not to be tole rated for an instant. Dr. Godfrey, whether he was right or wrong, was not to be persecuted and hounded by a mob, but was entitled to the protec tion of the law. If - the prosecutor had done wrong, he was to be tried calmly, judicially, and cautiously. It was not to be tolerated that there was to be mob law in this country. He (Mr. Yardley) was deter mined to repress any tendency to mob law, and in order to prevent it, he gave notice that whoever attempted to commit offences in the Whitechapel road, or annoyed or insulted Dr. Godfrey, would be severely punished, and the punishment of the pri soner would be all the more severe if there was a repetition of the disgraceful scene of Thursday night. The question was whether the prisoner was not to be made a severe example of, with a view to the preservation of the public peace. The Prisoner—l was there only a moment. Mr. Yardley—A moment too long. Any one joining a tumultuous mob or contributing to a mob, is liable to punishment. You were contri buting to that unlawful assemblage last night, and had no right among them. Dr. Godfrey said that some of Newton's friends and the prispner had called upon a woman, a pa tient of his, before the late trial, and offered her £3 to induce her neice to swear that he (Dr. God frey) had taken liberties with her. It was a base conspiracy against him. Mr. Yardley—l am only going into one question. There is to charge of conspiracy against this man. Dr. Godfrey—He has conspired, and I have wit nesses to prove it. Mrs. Elizabeth Cook said she was on her way to Dr. Godfrey's house for medicine on Thursday night, and saw the prisoner and eight others near his door. They all talked about stoning Dr. Godfrey and drawing him through a horse-pond. She heard the prisoner say " We will stone him when he comes out." A constable said the disorderly assemblage in front of Dr. Godfrey's house continued from 16 minutes past eight till 20 minutes past ten. Inspector Griffin—The tumult generally com mences at four in the afternoon, and finishes at 12 o'clock at night. • Mr. Yardley—And you have to employ extra policemen to preserve the peace,? Inspector Griffin—Yes, Sir, that is so. The two trials have given us much trouble. Mr. Yardley—This is not to be endured. It' is quite intolerable, and scandalous in the extreme. The prisoner then called two witnesses, who made it clearly appear that he joined the mob when Dr. Godfrey was leaving his house. Dr. Godfrey—This is all done by Newton, the infidel lecturer at the Philpot-street Hall, near the Commercial-i oad. Mr. Yardley—l advise you to be r egular,Si h ri Confine yourself to evidence. Y ou have no right to state that a man, who is not here, is an infidel lecturer. After some further proceedings, Mr. Yardley said the case did not rest entirely upon Dr. Godfrey's evidence. Other witnesse s had co nfirmed him. His (Mr. Yardley's) object was to put a stop to such disgraceful proceedings in this metropolis. If the prisoner joined others with a design to disturb the public peace, he (Mr. Yardley) must prevent, by a severe example, any repetition of the offence. He should adjourn this case, and the prisoner would be dealt with on the next examination according to the necessity of making a public example, or otherwise. He would accept of one good surety in the sum of £4O for the pri soner's appearance on Wednesday next. His object was to prevent offences. If the prisoner was to be committed for trial he would be severely punished. It would entirely depend on the conduct of the people between this and next Wednesday as to the punishment that would be inflicted on the prisoner, and he hoped that Ringrose would do all in his power to prevent any further proceedings against him, but he should tie his hands. A gentleman then offered to become sure ty for the prisoner's appe a rance on Wednesday next, c of Mr. Yardley—And to keep the p eace and b good behaviour until Wednesday. was T h p e a r r e t c i o a g l l n y i s cleared ances w , were , n e d t h D e n r p G e 1. 0 .1 f c Nr t ve e iy d t o t w h uh e t ob e e o wi u na s rt attended by a host of frien ds, retir A e mo b assembled insulted or molested by any one. i e n om f p ro a n ra t tivay cfhis ci o et rgery in the evening, but were [AnvEnwsEmENT.l—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Bad Legs.—When from injury, feeble circulation, foul blood, or neglected chill, inflammation, succeeded by ulcera tion, has attacked the lower limbs, the sufferer may turn for a cure, without fear of disappointment, to Holloway's ointment, whose fame for such disorders has resounded throughout the habitable globe, and testimonials in all lan guages have been received, universally praising this cele brated ointment.
