of all the members of the ancient and new
noblesse whose right to their respective titles shall
have been recognised, and publish this register, in
order that it may serve as a guide to the public
prosecutors in framing their prosecutions before
the tribunals." With a view to the preparation
of this register or catalogue of nobility, the Com-
mission proposes to recognise as lawful, all titles,
the possession of which shall have been enjoyed
anterior to the 19th June, 1790, as the same shall
be proved by the declarations contained in the
records kept by the public functionaries, or in
historical documents. This is applicable to the
ancienne noblesse. As for the new, their names
are to be looked for in the Chancery Office. It
further appears from this report, that Napoleon I.
had created in all, 4 princes, 33 dukes, 351 counts,
and 1,516 barons—pretty well for one reign, and
for the 'first of a dynasty ; and that under the
Restoration, the number of creations was, 19
dukes, 44 marquises, 205 counts, 214 viscounts,
779 barons. The Government of July was much
more modest. It contented itself with only 6
dukes, 27 counts, 7 viscounts, and 55 barons.
After considering these lists, and recalling the
numbers of the old French nobility, one 4s dis-
posed to ask where " place" is to be found for
them all.

A recent article in the Constitutionnel, com-
plaining of the distrust which is exhibited by
certain other Governments towards the Empe-
ror's, and commenting upon the cause, has
drawn forth remarks on the same subject from
other journals, some of them insinuating very
plainly, and in this respect taking the cue from
M. Jules Favre, that it is all owing to the existing
restrictions upon the press. There is nothing
very alarming in what the Constitutionnel has
said, but on account of the peculiar position of
this journal, its devotion to the Government, and
its relations with it, it.is asserted by some that
the article has a very high origin, and that it is
intended to pave the way for a rupture with the
whole of Europe, except Russia—a rupture which
is to arise out of the events now being enacted in
Syria, and which would " render probable a
defensive alliance between the Cabinets of Paris
and St. Petersburg for the partition of the
Ottoman empire." This supposition is, perhaps,
rather a wild one ; but the French Government,
as is so often with so much truth remarked, has
itself to blame for the suspicion with which its
acts and attitude are viewed.

The Porte appears to be thoroughly roused at
last to the gravity of the events in its Syrian pro-
vinces, of which the most deplorable accounts
continue to be received here. I see it stated that
in order still further to insure success to the mea-
sures of repression, which it has already adopted,
the Sultan has applied to the Pasha of Egypt for
a contingent of 10,000 men, who are at once to
proceed to the theatre of disturbances. It is posi-
tively denied at Constantinople that the agents
and soldiers of the Turkish Government indirectly
favour the movement against the Christians, as
is alleged, but appearances are certainly against
them, and are, I suspect, but too well founded.
You are no doubt, ere this, in possession of all
the circumstances connected with the coup d'etat
at Palermo, by which Garibaldi summarily
relieved himself of the presence of Signor
Farini. Owing to this gentleman having been
sometimes designated as M. Farini, and at
other • times as La Farina, and to his complete
separation, for so long a time, from Mazzini and
his designs, and, above all, to the excessive im-
probability of the step which Garibaldi has found
it necessary to adopt towards him, it was supposed
that anther individual altogether was referred
to but it seems this is not the case. Signor Farini,
erroneously imagining that a reaction had set in,
even in the mind of the Dictator, on the subject
of the immediate annexation of the Island, had
thought proper, it would appear, t 9 open a secret
negotiation with some of the members of the admi-
nistration, with the view of precipitating that
event. On this coming to the knowledge of Gari-
baldi, he considered himself betrayed, and lost no
time in getting rid of so officious and dangerous a
friend. It was at first reported that a complete
ministerial crisis had followed this summary act of
expulsion, but this is a mistake, the changes being
few and immaterial. The official journal of Sicily
thus alludes to the act of expulsion :—" The three
expuesJs conspired at Palermo against the present
regime. The Government, which watches over
the maintenance of public tranquility, could not
tolerate longer the presence among us of such

persons."

The Civic Council of Palermo has resolved that
a medal shall be struck, commemorating the de-
liverance of Sicily, and distributed to those who
Dave fought under Garibaldi for that object.

I must-reserve some musical and other intelli-
°puce till tomorrow.
