" The maritime force which England keeps up ire
the Mediterranean is considerable, and she could!
draw from Malta and Gibraltar a nucleus (no fain
of troops very imposing, without, at the same-
time, stripping these places. If England do not
unite with us in avenging the atrocities which
have been committed at Damascus, the respect
which has been paid to her Consul would be an
affront to her? In other words, France expects
England to "play second fiddle " on this other
occasion also, and will be very much annoyed if
she declines. Meanwhile, every one of the jour-
nals, from the Monitoir downwards, continue tog
publish the most harrowing details of the out-
rages to which the Christians, men, women, andt
children, are said to have been subjected, and are
endeavouring to lash the public mind here, and
in England, into fury against the perpetrators.
According to some of these accounts, the atroci-
ties which have been committed in Syria are only
paralleled, if they are not even exceeded, by the
barbarities committed on the English during the
Inditn mutiny.

You will have seen that Garibaldi's strength in thre
vicinity of Messina is greater than was at first sup-
posed. According to a statement in the Colistlta-
tionncl, the two Neapolitan commanders in that.
place (why should there be two?) disagreed about
the plans of defence—the one wished to go out
and attack the enemy in the open, and the other
wanted to fight behind stone walls, but the
troops, upon whom this difference of opinion and
irresolution must have had the worst effects have
been relieved from the necessity of deciding on
the third alternative of going over to
by an order to the commander to evacuate the-
fort. So, at least, it is reported. I have no'
doubt you will now very shortly hear of a lauding
having been effected by Garibaldi, at the head of
a large and confident body of volunteers, on the 4.
mainland, and then will come the " deluge," as
the poetic Lord Winohelsea said when he was
Lord Maidstone.

The following is the Text of the forma

the last, not the first, audience accorded by
Emperor to the Neapolitan Envoy: His Excel-
lency, M. Auguste le Greca, Minister of Public
Works at Naples, charged by his Majesty the
King of the Two Sicilies with a special mission
to the Emperor, had the honour of Being receiver'

doubtless some object to serve by this formal
notification. When the English Parliament is.

the Council of State ; for, in proroguing them
from the 15th August to the 15th October, their
Imperial master has prescribed no end of work
for them during the vacation; telling them,
moreover, that the business is of extreme
urgency, and that he expects they will give
their best attention to it. But, then, they are
paid for their trouble. The Corps Legislatif, you

The agitation in the money market is somewhat
abated. A more healthy appreciation of the situa-
tion has come to be entertained, and there is a
slight feeling that the alarm has been exagge-
rated. Still the demand for money is consider-
able, and sales continue to be effected at lower.
rates.

FRANCE.

PARIS, July 23.
The Patric says the departure of the Emperor
for Chalons has been announced. •

Prince Napoleon has arrived at Cherbourg.
According to the latest from Syria, the state of
things continued to be grave. Three French
steamers were off Latakia, Saida, and Acre, in
order to restrain the inhabitants, who continued
to display very hostile dispositions.
ARSEILLES, July 23.

Orders have been given for the simultaneous
embarkation of troops at Marseilles, Toulon, and
Algiers, with the shortest possible delay. Two
regiments from Chalons have just arrived at
Toulon. The reserve squadron will be armed,
the motives for which are stated to be the fresh
exigencies of the service.

THE FRENCH FUNDS.
PARIS, July 23.

3 16 P.M.—The Funds opened to-day at a
considerable improvement ; but little business,
was done. Rentes, which were just quoted at
68f. 45c., finally closed at 68f. 26c., or the same
as on Saturday.

GERMANY.

FRANKFORT, July 23.

It is asserted that the Kings of Saxony and
Bavaria will not take part in the interview
between the Emperor of Austria and the Prince
Regent of Prussia at Toeplitz. The Prince
Regent passed there this morning ; he proceeds
to Toeplitz ria Dresden.

INTERVENTION IN SYRIA.
The /nrieprndance says that the first Syrian
expeditionary corps is composed of 2,000 marines
and a brigade of 6,000 men from the camp of
Chalons—namely, three regiments of infantry,
two batteries of artillery, and three squadrons of
cavalry. A second dispatch of troops will take
place in a few days. The chief command will be
given to Marshal M 1 Mahon.
The Paris correspondent of the Herald remarks
that French intervention in Syria is the com-
mencement of the dismemberment of the Turkish
Empire, and fears that it will be the signal of an
outbreak in Bulgaria, Servia, &c., which will
pave the way for Russian interference. Until
Fuad Pasha's mission in Syria had failed,
England ought to have protested against inter- •
vention.

The Nord says that Colonel Rawlinson and
Mr. Murray will act as commissioners for Eng-
land in Syria. Three Dutch war steamers have
received orders to proceed immediately to Beyrout.
