HONESTE AUDA X.

The accounts received last week from Central
and Southern Italy show that a Ina crisis is at
hand. Garibaldi has publicly proclaimed his
dissensions with Count Cavour, and has made
appointments both in Naples and Sicily, which
have created the painful impression that, while
he has promulgated the Sardinian Constitution
for the whole kingdom, he has thrown himself
without reserve into the arms of the Mazzini
party. On the 17th inst. he published a froth
proclamation to the Sicilians, repeating that he
will only proclaim at Rome the constitution of
the Italian kingdom, and that he will not ac-
complish the annexation "as long as there are
any chains to be broken in Italy." He has also
addressed a letter to Signor Brum*, declaring
that there exists an irreconcilable difference be-
tween his policy and that of Count Cavour, and
"that while disposed to sacrifice all personal
feeling on the altar of the country, he will never
be reconciled with men who have sold an Italian
province." It is said that the King of Sardinia
is about to visit Naples, in order to counteract,
by his presence, the effects of Garibaldi's pro-
ceedings, and to call upon the people of Naples
and Sicily to come to an immediate vote on the
question of annexation. Meanwhile the troops
of Garibaldi, which disembarked last week at the
mouth of the Garigliano, in order to intercept
the communications of the Royal troops between
Gaeta and Capua, have sustained a check in the
neighbourhood of Volturno, having been driven
back to their positions by a charge of cavalry.
The later news state that Garibaldi was preparing
to avenge this repulse by the bombardment of
Calms, and that the King of Naples, who is at
Gaeta at the head of LOAM men, has at length
deterniined to oppose Garibaldi by force of arms.
A rupture has taken place between the King and
the Court of Austria, in consequence of the dis-
covery that His Majesty, before leaving Naples,
endeavoured to save his throne by offering to join
Garibaldi in an attack on Venetia. The Austrian
Government has announced that the Emperor can
no longer offer hospitality to his Majesty, and i
has ordered the Austrian war steamers in the
Neapolitan waters to return to Trieste. From
Central Italy we learn that the bombardment of
the citadel of Ancona by the Sardinian military
and naval force under General Cialdini and
Admiral Fermium commenced at midnight on
Sunday. Forts Pelago and Pulito were taken
by assault on Tuesday, the suburb of the Porta
Pia was occupied on Wednesday, and the opera-
tions of the Beige were in active progress on
Thursday evening. General Masi has taken
Montefiaticone, Civitia Castellani', and Viterbo,
and General Fauti's corps has reached Bracciano,
on the road to Rome, before the walls of which
it will shortly be encamped. The Pope has
addressed a note to the Roman Catholic Powers
claiming their aisistance against Sardinia, and is
said to have sent an ultimatum to the Emperor
of the French, threatening to quit Rome at once
if the French Government does not interfere
against Sardinia. The Secretary of the French
Embassy at St. Petersburg has arrived in Paris
with despatches, stating that Prince Gortscha-
kat has intimated to the French Ambassador
that the alliAnce between France and Sardinia
encourages the propagation of doctrines constitu-
ting a permanent danger to the balance of power
and the stability of thrones, and that Russia
would entirely fail in her mission were she not
in common with other States threatened, to raise '
her voice in defence of social order and monar-
chical ii.t Tests. Prince Gortschakoff added that ,
this was the object of the approaching interview 1
at Warsaw between the Emperors of Russia
and Austria and the Prince Regent of Prussia.
By the Overland mail from Calcutta we have
news from Shanghai to the 2nd August. The
allies left for the Peilio on the 26th July, and
were to take the forts before treating with the
Chinese. The French and the general division
were landing simultaneously at Pehlang. A
severe engagement had taken place with pirates,
200 of ohm' wore killed and two European
leaders captured. The rebels had taken the city
of Nantaien in the siik district, and were in pos-
session of the passes.
