FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.'
(FROM OUR
.OWN cORRFSFONDENI.)
PARIS, Saturday, Oct. 20, 1860.
The news from the interior of France reflects
the warlike complexion of matters abroad. Thus
people are speaking of 50,000 rifle muskets being
made at St. Etienne, for delivery; at Piedmont,
that of two credits, forming together a total of
75 millions, having.been opened for the service of
the-IVET-Miuister. Theee reports 'in-ay or may
hot be true ; but the, second of thein, especially, is
Capable of being explained, by the augmentation
of the .French army of occupation at Rome, and
by the exigencies of the Chinese expedition, with-
out it being necessary to suppose that France is
going to engage iii any new war.. •
Ale presence of the Count de_Persigny at this
moment in Paris has naturally given new strength
to the rumour of certain ministerial modifications
being in contemplation; but these rumours con-
tinue to be .so confined and contradictory., that it
is impossible to reduce them to any distinct Shape.
It is, however; conSidered prolktble that M. de
Persigny will, sticeeed M. ThOtiVehel as toreign

lican assemblies, and holding the opinions of the '
extreme democratic section-=and; the stole person
who recently wrote to the Op.iniait. Nationale to
contradict the rumour or connivance bet Ween the
parti rouge and General Lamoriciere—has just
published a .pamphlet, to which some
,persons
attribute much more importance than I think it
appears to deserve. The title of the brochure' is
"L'Heure Suptenie de l'ltalie," and in 'it the,
author endeavours to make out that the Unifica-
tien-of Italy by the 'annexation Of Roina to '
new Italian Kingdom should be completed with-
out delay. As for the obstacle presented by the
French occupation,' one which, everybody else
regards as a fatal stumbling block in the way of
carrying out this idea, the author: of the pani-
phlet considers that the Imperial Government
would on no account do battle, with the soldiers
Of Italian independence, but would avail itself of
that opportunity of withdrawing its troops kern
Rome. Unless we ate td siipprise, Which it is .
not easy to do, that M. Miot is in the secrets of
the government, one can only regard this as his
own individual opinion, and

Naples yesterday evening was in a state of inexpres: ;
Bible agitation. People spoke of erecting barricades, of -
going to threw Crispi out of the window of the Palace "•=1
of Augii, and of .makinr,' denionstrations against Garil

in the course of the day hi faVonr of the Marquis de
Pallavacini. Ten thousand persons went and stood
under the casements of the pro-Dictator, cheering hini

It is known that the day on which King Victor Ern-,

only ones who will profit by the troubles, and they will
be found on 'the other side of the barricades in company
with the men of action, if ever things should come to such
a terrible pass. I don't think they will. Such a stain
on Garibaldi'" reputation would be ineffaceable; and he

On the 11th instant the official' journal of
Naples published the deCtee promulgating the
eilstonis RefOrni. It was signed on the 44 4th of
September, on a very reniarkaliTh report bY• the
ei-Minister, Seieloia; . it 'did not come into

themselves interceded with. the
.'pro-Dictator for
the immediate-publication of the decree,, for. the •
long postponement had altogether sispended
business, and they preferred immediate loss to a
suspense that was so ruinous.to their interests.

a special tariff will apply between One of the two

The _Patric contains some extracts from a
Havannahjiiurrialelilled the Dims o de la llfarina;
Which gives some interesting particulars of the
death of General Walker, and of an outrage coin-
knitted on the captain of the Gladiator, at New
Orleans. This journal gives the following as the
last words of the unhappy American filibuster :..--
I am a Roman Catholic. The war which I waged
at Honduras, at the instigation of others, was unjust.
My companions in arms are not to blame ; I alone am
guilty. I demand 'pardon of the people, and may my
death be a benefit to.society:
And it goes on to say :
The captain of the Graidiator haditaken a room in the
hotel St. Charles, at Truxillo. In ~,,going down one
morning. to the coffee-room of the hotel, he was met by
three friends of the filibuster, who accosted him in the
most violent terms, and struck him several blows. The
clerk' of the English Consul, who accompanied the
captain, was desirous of interfering, but he was equally
badly used, and forced to make his escape as fast as he
could, hurrying' the gallant officer along with him.
Doubtless speedy justice will overtake the perpe-
trators of such a ruffianly attack. •

communicated to them a decree of the Emperor

Burmah to the French. This decree was passed
at the instance of General d'Orgoni.
Along with the. African Chasseurs, those regi-
ments of light cavalry which made the campaigns
of the Crimea and Italy have just been armed
with rifles instead of musketoons, which carry
neither so far nor so straight. In consequence of
this alteration in the former equipment of the
corps of light cavalry, the ehasseurs and-the hus-
sars are 'enabled, in a given circumstance, says
the Csnstitutionnel, to proceed with rapidity to a
point indicated, then to alight in parties, and
immediately open their fire upon the enemy,
exactly as is' done by battalions of infantry. The
knowledge how to 'handle a rifle having thus
become necessary for the future, .the use of this
arm will, henceforth, form a part' of. the
,drill of
every trooper. The non-commissioned officers
attached to the Imperial Cavalry School at
gamut have been directed to attend. the Normal
Shooting School, at Vincennes, in order to follow
in like manner with the officers of the infantry
and the navy, the course of instruction , given at
this school.
.The general Board of Customs and Indirect
Taies has just published the comparative table
of the

during the . mouth of September and _the nine

tember the duties received produced .11,000,000,
or 4,000,000 less than last year, For the nine
first months the total of the duties is 100,000,000,
Whilst during the corresponding period of last
Year it amounted to 142,00,0,000. Among the
departments in which a failing off is declared is
navigation. The tonnage of' French vessels trad-
ing. with 'foreign ports, the colonies and the
great fisheries, has diminished from 3,111,279 to

A circumstance-probably without example in
