FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PRANCE.
(FROM OUR' OWN CORRESPONIANT.)
PARIS, Thursday Evening, Oct. 4.
Francis IL is still in the kingdom of Naples, at
the head of a -by no means inconsiderable body of
troops ; and he is plainly intimating that, before his
territories can be annexed, he must be conquered.
Up to the date ot the last intelligence, he had
shown no Signs of giving n. It may be that he
la slow to believe that Victor Emmanuel will
allow his troops to join with the Garibaldians in
attacking him without some more formal declara-
tion of hostilities than any he has yet received—
fact, his accredited minister to the Court of-
nrin has not yet, so far as I am aware, left that
capital).. or it may be, that he is emboldened by
the aspect of affairs at Naples : by the number of
troops on whose loyalty he can still rely ; and by,
some visionary prospect of aid from Austria,
and perhaps RusSia, that all is not yet
lost ; in which case he is clearly in the
right to :;remain on Neapolitan soil as long
as he is allowed a footing. on it, and not to
leave his kingdom till he is drawn out of it by
force. It is announced in a German absolutist
Paper, the Ost Deutsche Post, that it is at present
under consideration, in the counsels of his ex-
Majesty, whether the command, of his troops
should not be offered either to General Bedeau or
to General Changarnier . but as this journal at the
*same time rightly remarks, the career of General
Lamoriciere in a similar capacity in the Pontifical
army does not present-an encouraging example.
As to Garibaldi; the latest accounts mention,
that he .had returned from the camp before
rapua, and had held a counsel of war, to which
he had invited all,the chiefs of his army ; that at
this meeting, he had proposed to concentrate all
his disposable •forees, , and fight a decisive battle
With the' Royal army; as previously determined
upon, but that the proposal, was not approved of,
and. it was accordingly, decided that the bom-
bardment of the place should be resumed as soon
as the requisite siege materials which he was ex-
pecting, arrived. The royal army, on its side,
appears To be actively engaged in fortifying the
positions which it has taken up, and is continuing
to introduce, from time to time, into Gaeta, ammu-
flition and provisions in large quantities. :On the
left of the place, which is its only weak point, an
entrenched camp has been formed, which is to be
defended by numerous and well armed works,,
'Gaeta will thus be in a position to sustain a siege
'°f several months duration; and if: Garibaldi
Were left to his own resources, it would -be quite
impossible for him to take the place, so long as
treason did not break out among the defenders.
Yesterday King Victor Emmanuel made a
solemn entry into Ancona. The official Gazette
of Turin, of the Ist October, publishes a• decree
by which his Majesty names as Lieutenant of the
Kingdom, during his absence from his capital,
his cousin, Prince Eugene, of savoy:Carignan.
Royal Highness .arrived at Turin on that
day, and immediately assumed , the reins of
government. A letter from Turin, dated the Ist,
'eporting his. arrival, says:—
Yesterday (Sunday) the King held a general review
at Bologna, near Caprera, and afterwards 'received`the
authorities at the Royal residence of Bosco. M. Valerie,
'who has been named Commissioner Extraordinary to
Ancona, has fast left Turin. He is to receive the' King
'on his arrival at Ancona.. General Lamoriciere will. be
presented to his Majesty, and afterwards conducted to,
where a residence has been prepaied for him in
the citadel. The General is very much cast down and
exasperated, not so much by his defeat, as by the treason
and cowardice of those by 'whom he was surrounded.
He complains, loudly of the native soldiers who formed
Part of his army. Troops are daily leaving for,Genoa,
from whence they will proceed direct onwards to Naples.
This letter also contains an extract from a com-
tuunication received by the writer from Naples,
containing a sad picture of the disordered con-
dition of affairs in that city, and expressing the
Most earnest hope that the coming of the Pied-
Montese will not be much longer delayed
The Ministry does nothing. Bertami is master of
everything. The provinces are in a chaos. The Gover-
nors, with their unlimited powers, do and undo according
to their own pleasure. The greater part of them belong
to the Man= sect. If Piedmont aoes not intervene
'We are lost.
Happily for the Neapolitans and, for the future
of Italy, the interference is, by this time, an
accomplished fact.
According to the Espero of Turin, it is rumoured
that, a Congress will shortly meet, whose only
I)°.leet will be the solution of the Italian question.
is said that the Emperor Napoleon has either
Made, or is about to make, this proposal; but
what is there new to solve ? All that a Congress,
!f it meets, which is not the least likely, would
have to do would be to consider whether the new
,41:raugement of affairs in Italy should be recog-
sed and accepted, and to receive the protests of
those Powers which were dissatisfied with them.
-there is a constant departure of troops, of one
kind or another, to Rome, still going on. Lieut.-
Colonel d'Obexi, who has been appointed to the
command

and second squadrons of the 4th Hussars, in gar-
80n at
t Marseilles,forming

for Toll lon, from whence they are to embark for

In• I shall forward as early as, possible an
etitline of the recent addroi4 of his holiness to

the Consistory ; it is to be made public in a day
or. two. You have of course seen the telegraphic
summary of the preliminary proceedings of the
Sardinian Chambers, which is all We have yet
heard On the subject here.
It is riinaciiired that the Archduke Albert has
been appointed by the Emperor Joseph to the
command-in-chief of the Austrian army in Italy.
The Gazette de Cologne mentions that this appoint-
ment is the subject of a good deal of discussion
in the military circles, of Vienna.. But General
Renedeck will probably be associated with his
Imperial Highnegs in the command,. and acCom-
pany him as chief of the command,.
Notwithstanding
all the dedlarationg to the Contrary, it would seem
that Austria still . expects to be., attacked not only
in Venetic; but in the Italian Tyrol, where Gari-
baldi is said to be able to-count on no, inconsider-
able number of partisans. At Milan, Where there
is supposed to be a whole crowd of committees de-
voted to him, he has just formed a Tyrolean Com-
mittee on a similar footing with the Venetian Com-
mittee at Naples, whose duty it will be to cor-
respond with all the various opponents of Austrian
rule, and, to encourage, by every possible means,
agitation among them. This is hardly either fair
or reasonable, I must say, and it is to be hoped
that proceedings of this kind will meet with no
encouragement: from the Ministry of Cotint de
Cervour.,
Italian bishops, as well as Italian general offi-
cers, continue to arrive in Paris almost daily.
The Cardinal,Sforzi, who comes, from Rome, and
the Bishop of Castellamaregrom Naples, arrived
yesterday; but ' all are welcomed, whatever may
be their antecedents.
At the Bourse, yesterday, there was scarcely
so much activity as on the previous day ; but the
price of .Rente and of most descriptions of stock
make still further progress on the ascending scale.
Rente has risen from 69f. to 69f. 25c., and the
Shares of the Bank of France have again reached
the satisfactory figure of 2,850. The Railways
also share in this general improvement,

MILAN, Sept. 28.
A stranger arriving in Milan within the last
four or five days, and being acquainted with the
political state of this country) must have been
brought to a sudden halt, and seriously inquired,

owing to the narrowness of the streets or the net

the liereekt, iftstieulation and Babel of sweet

language which is not to be foUnd in any, of the

the Austrians are still at the other side of the

city axe only ant or one year, that is from the'

iniquitous combination emetics, the household pro-
prietors in raising the rent 20 per cent., which is
one of the *advantages (?) of the liberty we at
present enjoy. Now, a few words to the political
question. Every hour that passes more clearly
brings before the eyes of Europe the cunning
and successful Comedy that, has been played by.
the Emperor Napoleon, Victor Etninanuel, and
Garibaldi. I have frequently explained to your
readers that darilialdi s invasion of Sicily, and
the Piedroontese entry into the Marches and
Umbria, would never:have been undertaken, un-
less Piedmont secretly assisted the former and
Napoleon as secretly pushed on Vic tor Emmanuel to
the other. Ido not here intend to enter bite the
merits of the " justifiable interference" of Gari-
baldi or the King of Sardinia but rather in two'
words to point out the politica:l influence it must
give to the Emperor of 'the French, in having by
his side so powerful and " only sincere ally that
he can find in Europe," it being to the:interest of
both to support and dill to each other; the more
so as Piedmont is bound by, all the humao ties of
gratitude to Prance for placing her in her present
position. 'We are told that the garrison of
Rome is to be reinforced—nay, even some assert
that a corps of 15,000 men has received
orders to embark for Route, and ;that Marshal
'Valliant is to have the supreme command. Your
readers must not imagine that this movement of
the French to Rome is Ito 'protect His Holiness,
put a stop to the bombastic threats of the
Mazzinians, or to say to Victor Emmanuel, " I
will not permit you to usurp the temporal power
of the. head of our church, or take up arms
against a 'monarch who has committed no act
against your states," but the real fact is, that the
Emperor Napoleon and King Victor Emmanuel
are persuaded that AUstria, in the face of Present
circumstances, 'Cannot remain an inactive spec-
tator to the menacing attitude of Piedmont, and
the revolutionary party that are now unceasingly
organising an attack upon her possessions. The
French troops at, and to :be sent to Rome, are
destined to be united to Piedmont should Austria
cross the Po. This, I believe is the real object of
the expedition of the French to the Eternal
City. Can we' wonder that England, Prussia,
Austria and Russia should mistrust such a subtle
monarch, as the man who now rules the French
people.? It is this morning positively asserted on
the Exchange that Victor Emmanuel wilt proceed
from Bologna to the Marches and Umbria,
where
he will issue a' proclamation to the people, and
then go on to Naples and do the same, after
which Garibaldi will consign to the King the
Two Sicilies, which, of course, he will accept;
and then the general will retire to his solitude at
Caprera. The words in italics is the (excuse the
expression) humbug we continually read in the
Italian journals. ,Cialdini is on his march to
Naples, if not already there, and by this
time has his instructions to proceed to Gaeta,
and attack the troops of Francis IL
without the slighest -provocation on the part of
the King of Naples towards the King of Sardiuia.
It seems almost impossible that the other Powers
will sanction such an usurpation on the part of
the Piedmontese Government. Lord Sohn Rus-
sell's note of the 31st of August to Sir James
Hudsoil) anticipates the policy of Cavour,
as
regards the Papal and Neapolitan States, and
points out the danger that is likely to arise there-
from, and which would urge the King to his final
struggle with Austria. Whatever the ultimate
result of the present policy.of France and Pied- ,
mont may be, it is almost impossible to foretell,
but there cannot be the slightest doubt that all
will not finish without drawing the other Powers
into the question:
Our 'Bourse has been for the last week very
unsteady. The prices of the Sardinian fives
were maintained with a slight tendency of im-
provement. The Lombard Railway shares had
great difficulty to reach the prices quoted last
week, and .were negotiated at our exchange at
lower prices than at Paris.

SILK MARKET.
Our market continues rather steady, there being
a regular demand for worked silk in almost all the
qualities except the last, which is without pur-
chasers. The intelligence from France and Ger-
, many with regard to the manufactories are good,
and leave hopes, for a brisk trade. The present
political position of affairs has not disturbed the
present sustained prices, which seem likely to
continue for some time, unless we are deceived in
