are condemned to read from time to time in the

journals
,of this country. On Monday evening
La Lombardia copied the above extract from the
French journal, and on Tuesday morning our
writers eagerly seised the subject for elabdrate
articles, several being salciently elastic to in=

much shouting about her cruel sufferings and,
despotic rulers. It was really amusing to see
Mr. James' name for the first time figure in the'
Italian journals ; by some he was styled " Sir
James," " Lord James," the " Ambassador Lord
James" which is not, perhaps, so bad as calling
the corvette " The Queen of England," which
joined Garibaldi's fleet at Messina, on the 15th
ultimo, The Queen of Gugland, which I be-
lieve would puzzle the writer to find upon the
map of either Europe, Asia, Africa, or America,
but the ignorance of the generality of the
Italians of England and the extravagant notions
that they have of us is almost incredible. I was
greatly amused the other day in reading, in the
Lonibardia, a letter from its Turin correspondent,
stating that the Bourbon Government had offered
70,000 f (why not an even hundred ?) to the editor
of the Gazette del Popolo, a miserable print not
bigger than a tract, to sustain the principles of
the proposed alliance and the conservation of the
autonomy of Naples, which, of course, was in-
dignantly refused by that incorruptible editor !
Two days after out comes the Unione, of this
city, "Oh ! what wretches ! only imagine, gentle
reader, some of our enemies have been bad enough
to report that we have sold our journal tcs the
Bourbon Government. Isn't this shameful?" Nectr,
I can swallow as large a dose of the improbable
as any man living, and even could believe Jack's
yarn to his old grandmother of some of his
adventures when they were at anchor off one of
the West India islands, which is as follows
" On Sunday morning, when he was on watch,
he heard a loud cry of 'ship-a-he and, looking over
the side of his ship he saw, in the sea, a merman."
" God bless my soul," replied the old woman, " a
merman!" e Yes," replied the sailor, with the
utmost gravity, " and he very politely said,
Jack, will you give my compliments to your
captain, and beg him to pull up his anchor,
which, being in front of our street -door, prevents
the family going to church." I could even
swallow this story of Jack's for gospel truth
rather than be considered so thoroughly green as
to allow myself to believe that either the Gazette
del Popolo or the Unions had such an offer, or if
such a proposition was made to either that they
possessed the fortitude. to resist the temptation.
I have seen such a prostitution of principles and
Jesuitism since the departure of the Austrians as
to disgust any man having the slightest pre-
tensions to dignity, honour, or honesty. The
Count di Siracusa arrived at Genoa on the
3rd instant, and was received with all the
honour due to a Prince of the royal
blood. The Count arrived at Turin on-the same
day, the King having sent one of his royal car-
riages to conduct his cousin to the Palace, where
he has taken up his residence for the present.
Many persons, and not without good reason,
attribute to his famous letter of the 24th ultimo,
urging his nephew, Francis 11., to abandon
Naples, more of ambition than of humanity, the
Count being certain that, immediately the King
left Naples, the Sardinian Government would
appoint him Viceroy of the Two Sieilies. Unfor-
tunately for the King of Naples, he has been
surrounded by the worst of advisers and the
blackest camarilla of Jesuits, priests, ambitious
and false relatives, and treacherous generals
. that ever surrounded the throne of a young
. and inexperienced monarch. Ten days ago the
' flight of the King was announced, as also the
mutiny of the whole army ; . nevertheless, the
' King is still at Naples, and a large portion of
the army faithful to their sovereign with Bosco
at their head, who, putting aside the nature of
the Neapolitan question, is an honourable example
of fidelity to a falling king—the opposite character
of that mean traitor and renegade, General
Nunziante. Here we- have again another proof
to what extremes Garibaldi is pushing the present
question. If the Neapolitans wished for the
union of their country to- Piedmont, have they
not-had a thousand opportunities of rising against.
the King and GovernMent and declaring for
Victor Emmanuel. You will find that the pro-
phesies of my letters' will be all realised by-and-
bye—that the Italians never can be united into
one kingdom ; and if they were, it would soon
end in civil war- As I predicted in my former
letters, Depretis, the pro-Dictator of Sicily is
unable any longer to resist the agitation in that
island for the vote by universal suffrage,. which
with the recommendation of the Sardinian. Go-
vernment, has been fixed for the 16th instant.
Some persons, however, think that it will be fur-
ther delayed till the middle of October. In my -
former letters I also gave. you some particulars of
the state of the finances of the Provisional Go-
vernment of Sicily, which has been since con-
firmed by Depretis endeavouring to raise another
loan. It is reported that Victor Emmanuel, to
keep them from sinking, has sent the Pro-Dictator
half a million of francs, until other supplies shall
arrive. lam also Reformed that the administra-
tive 'branch of the Sicilian army is frightful—
some of - the men not receiving their pay for a
-
week or ten days, and others receiving double
pay. The same writer (a volunteer) tells me that
there is scarcely any organisation among the
men; and it requires the utmost prudence on the
part of those who are not dependent on their pay,
to find the money in their pockets when they
awake in the morning.
Our despatches up to past hour (four a.m.) are
as follows :
A revolutionary committee was discovered at
Verona on the 3rd instant. Several arrests have
been made, and there can be no doubt that the
unfortunate men will be shot.

NAPLES, Ist Sept.—The National Guard • have
invaded the Royal Palace, demanding the imme-
diate banishment of Generals Ischitella and
Cu trofiano.

ROME, Ist Sept.—General De Noue has declared
to the officers of his army that it is the orders of
the Emperor to defend the provinces of Rome,
Comarca, Civita Vecchia, and Viterbo.
The Committee for the Annexation of Naples to
Piedmont has received a letter from Garibaldi,
which announces that he will be in Naples on the
Bth instant.
