ITALY.—The Italie of Term e gives the (elbowing
extract from 4110 minutes of the Pitting of the Genoa
Emancipation Society, held on the 31st ult.
Canada proposed that the assembly should declare its
adhesion to the solemn (sant taken by Garibaldi end the
Sicilian patriots in the church of Marsala, and com-
prised in the following words :—" /tome or Death!"
The motion was received with frantic. epplause, cud
'KAM by nedennaion. Another proposition made by
M. GNIFILOOiI% was also edopted, to the effect that the
words 'Home or Death ! be placed at the broil of all
document/ isaned by the association, and be likewise
inscribed on their flag."
The Paris correspondent of the &sprees says La
France, though pretending not to believe in M.
Ratarsi's (or, rather, General Durando's) diplomatic
circular eomphining of the French occupation of Rome,
betraya a knowledge that such a measure would be in
acconl with the attitude of the Cabinet of
of Turin by reproaching that Cabinet with not
acting decisively against Garibaldi. If (it says) it
French general had raised the standard of revolt an
order for his arrest would have been sent by telegraph,
and all would have been over in three hours. As it
is La "'ranee makes it • grievance that this scandal has
gone on three weeks in Italy, and it pieusly exclaims,
"Gods knows bow much longer it will lead." But,
proceeds M. de la Guarronniere's journal, whatever
uncertainty there may be at Turin we well know what
Frowns will do. France, it !appears, will insist upon
three things :—lst. The independents) of Dab ; 211 d.
The maintenance of the papacy ; and 3rd, The
intinenee of France. Now, it is (mite obvious that the
two latter propositions destroy the first ; they are
absolutely incompatible with the independence of Italy.
However painful and difficult M. Ratazsi's position
may be in the face of his hard taskmaster in Paris, he
cannot evade the dilemma before him : the state of
things is such that he meat either be with Italy
against France, or with France against Italy. Ido not
think he will remain a ininiater long after August 15.
POLAND.—Tuesday being the anniversary of the
union of Poland with Lithuania, the occasion was
seised by the Inhabitants of Warsaw for another of
those futile and foolish demonstrations which have
done so much of late to show the utter unfitness of
the Poles for being entrusted with the responsibilities
of self-government and the independence, after which
they so vainly aspire. It does not appear that any
collision took place between the people and the military
or municipal authorities. •

SPAIN.—A new ambassador from Spain has arrived
all the Tuileries, and on his introduction to the
Emperor he stated that her Spanish Majesty desired
to preserve relations of reciprocal confidence with
France, and would ho happy to see the bonds that
unite the two peoples drawn closer. The Emperor, in
rer4y, expressed his profound esteem for her Majesty
and the Spanish people, and his surprise and grief at
the recent disagreement of opinion between the two
Governments. It rested with the Quo:in alone, he
said, to find in him always a sincere ally, and the
Spanish peoples loyal friend.
WIISSIA.—Her Royal Highness the Crown Prin.
ftWof Prussia has given Prussia another Prince. The
royal "little stranger" made his appearance on Thurs-
day morning at fifteen minutes past six.
SYRlA.—lntelligence from Aleppo has been received,
of rather a disquieting nature, to the 17th of
The excitement which had prevailed In that town
owing to the daily increasing Insults practised bv the
Mahomedans on the Christians had not subsided,
and fears were entertained of something
serious happening. The Italian Consul bad been
insulted and stones thrown at him. Notwithstanding
several foreign ',easels had complained to the Sultan
of the conduct of the Pasha in allowing those insults,
and a journal of Constantinople had announced his
'dismissal, he has not yet been removed, nor does he
appear likely to be. A few days previous a caravan, on
its way (rein Alexandretta for Aleppo, was stopped by
a band of armed men, and robbed of 400,000 piastres in
money. The persons in charge of the caravan managed
to escape with their lives, but were badly wounded.
The ptojeot of a railway from the Mediterranean to the
Euphrates is again talked of, and an engineer had
arrived to examine the ground. Alexandretts, it was
believed, would be recommended as the Mediterranean
termini'''. Forty horses, of pure Arab breed, had
passed through Aleppo from Bagdad and One, in charge
of Colonel Counte F. Catitellengo, who was conveying
them to Europe for King Victor Emmanuel's stables:—
