SIENA, July 26.

CONTEMPORANEOUSLY with the execution of the young
military student Calvi at Mantua, has appeared a
manifesto of Mazzini, reviling constitutionalism as
not sufficing for the governmental wants of liberty,
lauding the only righteous Government of re-
publicanism, and exhorting all to cherish those

fraternal opinions whereby they may become worthy
to rival the virtue and daring of Pianori. Not con-
tent with being an assassin, of paying assassins, and
apotheosising assassins, Mazzini has avowed a de-
termination to denounce by name—that is, to mark
for assassination—all those constitutionalists who

eschew the creed of Rea Republicanism ; and he has
designated the friends of Poerio and Salimbeni at
Naples as anti-republican conspirators. He terms
them " Muratists," and ascribes to them the crime of
believing in the vain efficacy of constitutional
government, and of reprobating the shibboleth of
" Mort aux Rois." This man is the very curse of
Italian freedom, and plays the winning game of
Austria and the Pope, whereby the fetters of consti-
tutional liberty will be yet more firmly riveted. But
the most mischievous of his manifold villanies is the
steady and malignant vituperation of Sardinia. He
perceives in the growing respect for that country and
its institutions a danger surely subversive of his Red
Republican scheme, and, unless its ruin can be
achieved, he fears lest its honest example will taint
Italy and the Italians with the desire of acquiring
similar advantages. No effort is spared by this
enemy of liberty to create a prejudice against the
system of monarchical constitutionalism and to
make the word " Sovereign" synonymous with that
of "Criminal." To such a point is this hatred
carried that, in spite of the aversion of this anarchist
for the priests, he has not scrupled to betray by
secret information a person belonging to the Roman
States, having commercial relations with Genoa, and
who had interested himself largely in favour of the
Convent Repression Act. This unfortunate "nego-
ciente " is new confined in a Papal dungeon, and will
be inevitably ruined. Of these liberal and virtuous
republicans, it may he said "ex uno disce omnes."
That particular district of Tuscany called the
M aremma, in the province of Siena, is in an un-
settled state. Secret meetings have been lately held
by the Liberals, and, although the abirri are on the
alert, they fail to make discoveries, or, which is still
more probable, sympathise with those whom they
have engaged to detect. No severity, no tyranny of
compulsion, can eradicate the settled determination
to change sooner or later the existing order of
things, and nothing but the detestation of repub-
licanism, generated by a fatal experience, prevents
the Liberals from taking active steps. This recent
manifesto of Mazzini, and his preaching the sacred
duties of the dagger, induce the friends of order
everywhere, whatever be their political opinions, to
remain passive, and rather submit to irksome mis-
government than that the Mazzinian atrocities of
1848 s'aould be re-enacted.

At Naples the worthy Bomba celebrates each re-
verse of the allies with an almost public rejoicing.
His decrees against the exportation of hay, corn,
and other necessaries for the allies in the Crimea,
have been partially relaxed ; but every dealer in
stores is watched, and every merchant engaged in
the Levant trade, who may consign any of the for-
bidden articles of export to Constantinople, is
marked for future judgment, according to the law
and will of Bomba. And yet this prototype in
miniature of Muscovite despotism is permitted to
violate every Christian and moral obligation without
observation or protest.

WITHIN the last few months Holland has become
possessed of another province, rescued from the
waters. The last allotment of the area over which
the Sea of Haarlem recently washed was sold a few
days ago. The grcund thus saved to the country
will form excellent arable and pasture land, whilst
Amsterdam and the other surrounding districts will
he relieved of an enemy, which, assisted by a north•
west wind, always excited alarm and often committed
fearful havoc. English engines and English engi-
neers were employed to drain this territory, which
contains nearly twenty thousand acres of land, and
in its present uncultivated state has fetched nearly
eight millions of florins. The country expended ten
millions of florins on this undertaking, In ten years
the value of the rescued land will be doubled or
trebled, while in about thirty years, by direct and in-
direct taxes, it is calculated the entire sum expended
by the country in the drainage of the sea will be re-
paid into the Exchequer. Serious thoughts are now
being entertained as to the drainage of the Zuyder
Sea. But there are difficulties attending this under-
taking which were unknown in draining the Sea of
Haarlem. The Zuyder is fed by five communications
with the North Sea. It would not be altogether be-
yond the reach of engineering skill to meet these
difficulties, but they would be attended with immense
expense. The money, perhaps, could be found, but
it is doubted whether the ground, when drained,
would be anything but sand.

FRANCE.

The Emperor and Empress left Bordeaux on
Monday morning by special train for Paris, where
they arrived that same evening. Their Majesties
will, it is said, take up their residence at the Chateau
of Villeneuve•l'Etang while awaiting the arrival of
the Queen of England. The Empress has improved
much in health from her residence at Biarritz. The
four tine divisions of infantry which now occupy the
camps of the north will march to Boulogne in a few
days and be reviewed by the Emperor, the Empress,
Queen Victoria, and Prince Albert. Two or three
regiments of cavalry are also said to be on their
march to the same point.
The official report of the new loan gives the
amount subscribed for at three thousand six hundred
millions of francs (144 millions sterling). The sub-
scribers number 310,000. The subscriptions of 50
francs reach 230 millions.

A report is generally prevalent among naval and
military men in Paris that Government are about to
adopt a system of naval guerilla warfare in the Black
Sea. A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles states
that nearly 100 river steamers have been chartered
from the shipowners of that town, each of which is
to bear a powerful armament of two long thirty-two
pounders, and the smallest of which has accommo-
dation for 200 men. What the gun boats have done
in the Sea of Azoff will be repeated by this river craft
in the Sivash, which is still shallower, and along
the banks of the Dniester, the Dnieper, and the Don,
where the Russian Government have large establish-
ments.

It was reported in Paris on Wednesday that a
duel had taken place in Belgium between Count de
Morny, President of the Legislative Body, and the
exiled General Changarnier, which ended in the
former being wounded in the arm.
