FOREIGN INTELLIGENGE

FRANCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PAttis, Saturday, Sept. 16, 1860.
The withdrawal of Baron, Talleyrand from
Turin does not appear to have produced any great
sensation in that capital of the new Italian king-
dom, where it is distinctly asserted that, down to
the 10th instant, the Governments of France and
Piedmont were perfectly at one, that the Emperor
expressed his approval of the formation of the
military camps on the frontiers of Tuscany and the
Romagnas ; and that he was perfectly aware that,
in order to prevent Mazzini and the chief of his
party from gaining ground, King Victor Em-
manuel had no other alternative but to send the
message which he did to the Pontifical Govern-
ment calling ;upon it to disband its foreign mer•
cenaries. These facts are, it is said, well known,
and are very plainly expressed at Turin, notwith-
standing the semi-official denials which they meet
with here. The two sets of statements, therefore,
can only be reconciled by the supposition that
the Emperor found occasion at the last moment
to change his opinion of the state of affairs ; but
that the Sardinian ultimatum to the Pope- had
been dispatched before the news of this change
of policy arrived, and it had thus become
too late to arrest the onward course of events,
so that nothing remained, but for France
to go through the form of modifying the
footing on which its diplomatic relations were
carried on with the Sardinian Government.
There is also a rumour, I must add, that concur-
rently with the recall of M. de Talleyrand, a corps
of 30,000 men has been concentrated by the j
French Government in Savoy, in order to counter-
balance similar concentrations of Austrians at
Bogoforte.
In these circumstances, therefore, everything
will depend on the good sense and moderation of
the Sardinian Government. France will go no
further than she has done, and Austria, which
has recently given unmistakeable proof of their
being at length amenable to reason, and ready to
be guided by the dictates of a little common sense,
will, as I have previously said, limit herself
strictly to a defensive attitude behind the Mincio.
The (truly of General Lamoriciere, the bulk of
which is concentrated in Ancona, consists of at
least 30,000 men. Recent accounts have very
much under-estimated its strength; but although
such a force might have held out for some time
against the comparatively irregular lines of Gari-
baldian Volunteers, it goes for nothing in pre-
sence of the overwhelming numbers which
Victor Emmanuel has now thrown into the Papal
territories. Besides, it is asserted that the
" Italian fleet," under the command of Admiral
Persano, had received orders to roliclezvous •off
Ancona, and to attack the fortifications by sea.
This place, if it were much stronger than it is,
could never hold out against this double aitack_
it must fall, and that speedily; and once it has
succumbed, there is an end to the last spark of
resistance in the Marches and Umbria.
Garibaldi, as the new master at Naples, is
exercising in that enpitai all the acts of
sovereignty. riitting aside all those who had
advanced claims to share with him the fruits of
his brilliant campaign, he has assumed the re-
sponsibility supreme power; and he is exer-
cising it, it must be said, to his everlasting honour,
with extreme and most praiseworthy moderation.
A supplement to the official journal of the Two
Sicilies contains a number of additional appoint.
ments to minor offices in the new Government

which are all conferred on known Annexationists,
and meet with the entire approval of the Sar-
dinian Government. The Mazzinists are " no-
where." The Marquis Camille Caraciolo de Bella,
brother of the former Minister, Prince Torrello,
the Chevalier Carlo Cataneo, and the Chevalier
Silvestro Lopardi have been respectivelyappointed
ambassadors from the new Government, to the
Courts of St. James, the Tuilierics, and Turin. It is
scarcely necessary to add—though, after what has
been said on the subject, to the prrjudice of the Sar-
dinian Government, it is only fair to do so—that
M. Cavour had no occasion, and has no intention
to sand any Sardinian troops to be quartered in
Naples so long as the reins of government are
wielded by the Dictator. It has also been ascer-

tained that M. Cavour wrote to Garibaldi, a few
days before it was probable the latter would enter
Naples, pointing out how much more necessary
than ever it had become to the success of the
revolution, that a good understanding should be
established between them, and this sentiment
was, I understand, at once most cordially recipro-
cated by the Dictator.
The Emperor and Empress have arrived at
Ajaccio from Nice. They disembarked, accordunr,
to the evening papers, amidst the enthusiasm of
the inhabitants, who had come.from all parts of
the country to receive them. His Imperial Ma-
jesty entered Nice on the 12th, at eleven o'clock.
The Emperor is said to have been visibly moved
by the warmth of his reception, and the demean-
our of the Empress is described as having made a
most favourable impression on all the members of
her own sex in her newly-acquired territory.
"Comme elle est graeieuse! Comte elle dolt etre
bonne !'"fhe former of these expressions is
the highest compliment that can be paid
by the ladies to their own sex ; and they
derive, in my eyes, at least, additional im-
portance from their having been applied uni-
versally by thousands of„the fair Parisiennes in
my hearing to her Most Gracious Majesty Queen
Victoria, when Her Majesty pasSed along the
crowded boulevards of this capital, in 1855. At
Toulon, the authorities expended £40,000 in the
feting and entertainment of their Majesties.
Queen Isabella, has set out upon her travels
also. She landed at Majorca on the 12th, after
having been extremely well received in Barcelona.
A letter from Madrid states that a project was
under consideration in Barcelona of forming a
corps of juvenile volunteers, at the age of from
ten to twelve, to act as a guard of honour to the
Prince of the Asturias. It seems, therefore,
that the Spanish nation is about to " play at"
volunteers as well as at soldiers. It is still a long
way off the right to have a representative in the
Council of the Great Powers.

Some highly interesting facts will shortly be
made public, resulting from the exploring expedi-
tion sent by the Emperor in the latter end of the
year 1859, to explore the Red Sea and its banks.
It was under the command of a Captain Russel,
and the scientific .objects of the exploring party
were entrusted to the skill of M. A. Courlon,
a naval surgeon of the first class. His report
has special relation to the natural history and
sanitary state of the districts which border this
famous gulf.
The discvery of another small planet by M.
Chacornac has been announced in the constella-
tion of "la Baleine." It has the brilliancy Qf a
star of the ninth or tenth magnitude.
At the Bourse there was at the closing to-day
a slight improvement, but so long as there is 6o
little business doing the advance is not likely
to be increased. The closing price of the Rentes
was 67f. 90c.

MILAN, Sept. 12.

The political events of Italy have, within the
last three days, followed each other with such
rapidity, and all of such vital importance for the

a am
mces that are
giving you in this letter other intelligence than
what has occurred here since Monday last. About
two in the afternoon, the official news of the
triumphant entry of Garibaldi into the Neapolitan
capital was publicly announced by large bills
issued by the municipality and posted in every
part of the city, around which, in an instant,
were crowded scores of men, women, and children,
whose eyes, beaming with delight, and flushed
faces evinced the quick and joyful throbs of their
Italian hearts. In the twinkling of an eye the
Duomo of Milan was dressed out with hundreds
of banners and streamers of the gayest colours,
bearing the arms of the House of Savoy, and
above these was planted, below the figure of the
Virgin, an immense tri-coloured flag, proudly
waving its gay colours as the the symbol of Italian
independence. The Cathedral thus decked gave
it the appearance of a monster ship in full gala.
In another moment the great bells of the Duomo
thundered forth the sonorous tones, which was
the signal for the inhabitants of the Piazzo to
decorate their balconies with every colour and
variety of tapestry and tri-coloured banners,
which example was followed by all the houses in
the Corso and adjoining streets,. with • a rapidity
that resembled some of the tricks we see in a
Christmas pantomime. The merry peals of bells
of the Duomo were almost as quickly taken up
