MILAN, August 11

It is now four days that we are without any
positive news from Sicily or Naples, our latest
details being down to the 3rd instant, which I
sent you in my last letter. We are also for the
same time withont any telegraphic despatches, the
communication being interrupted for more than a
week between Cagliari and Genoa. It is, how-
ever, more than probable that in a few days this
silence will be interrupted by some decisive blow
on the part of the Garibaldini or royal troops,
which must tend to the total defeat grid rout of
either the one or the other, and gnus put an end
to thi giAgstipn."o 'far' as military operations are
Turin states that
concerned. The aozetto of
Garibaldi has now at Messina a force of not less
than 20,000, and is waiting a reinforcement of
5,000 more before he attempts the crossing of the
Strait of Messina. Should this report be the real
cause of his delaying this last o..arktig enterprise
it will be s,peecki,lX I,ceomplishectbecanie within
the last ten ilaYs more than 6,060 young fearless
lads have left Genoa, and another bat 01 of 3,000

we must admit that they are equal to 60,000 of
the Neapolitan troops. Our latest intelligence
informs us that Garibaldi has now nearly 200
boats, several large vessels, the steam frigate
Veloce, and two batteries mounting sixteen guns
to protect the passage of this fleet of boats. Is it
then really true that the cause of this, Mary,. with
this large 'force at his disposition, and such faci-
lities to accomplish his it tention. of crossing to
the other, Side and facing the lion in his own den,
is 'occasioned by the waiting for reinforcements?
Is it more near the truth that Garibaldi has found
that the united and most strenuous eXertons of
his agoits, t 4,43 envoys of the 4ep4b,fic and Liberal
associations of Genoa, T ;
11r4o, and Milan, backed
up by the annitato Oentrale of Naples, have
been unable to induce the Neapolitans to rise in
open revolt against the Government ?
The press of this country have. used all their
skill to conceal this fact from the public, but

which they have made still more glaring by their
over-zealous desire to show that the Neapolitans
most ardently desire the utter ruin of the " hate-

ful Bourbon," and that a few days will only
elapse when we should hear Naples thundering
forth from every part of the city " Viva P Unione,"

" Viva Vittorio Emnianuele," " Viva Garibaldi."
This has been the daily cunzone of the Italian

press for the last mouth ; and if the truth is to
be spoken, and a correspondent possessing the
slightest knowledge of the working of this
political engine, he cannot shut his eyes to the
above facts.

The correspondent of the Journal des Debuts,
writing from Naples on the Ist instant, states that

on that day one of Garibaldi's principal agents
arrived in that city and left the day following,
being completely discouraged at the little progress
made by the Secret Committee. The same writer
says :—" The Neapolitans wait the initiative to
be taken by Garibaldi, and Garibaldi expects it
on the part of the Neapolitans." The La Lom-
bardia of the 10th instant has the following :
" The indolence of the Neapolitans begins to
create some uneasiness. Garibaldi wishes to
assist (?) but not to conquer them. If, however,
they are content with the Bourbon Government,

one is entitled to say that they possess very bad

.ante; if not, to what are we to attribute'their

inaction ? They possess the means to arm them-
selves, and have the most powerful aid near at
hand, but still they wait. Let us hope that that
inaction has some hidden motive ; if not, we must
say that if they love liberty, it is for the most part
but a very Platonic love." IsPerseveranza,a semi-
official print of this city, after dedicating a closely-
printed column , in which it gives some extracts, most
favourable to its critical analysis, of all the jour-

nals of Naples, endeavours to shew that they are
entirely indifferent to the approaching elections,
but in which task it makes a lamentable figure of
logical argument, and concludes with these wards,
" The Neapolitan journals in general, have not
as yet assumed any positive colour, therefore, it
is almost impossible to say what is the predo-
minant opinion of the kingdom, nearly all their
attention being dedicated to Garibaldi and his
achievements in Sicily ; exalting the one, and
magnifying the other, without entering upon the
volitical question which is now agitating the
I country. There is, however, some foundation to
believe that it is alniost the general wish of the
people to be united to the Kingdom of Sardinia."
I leave your readers to form their own judgment
fob, the above extracts, of the real state of
Naples.

The Opinione of Turin, the acknowledged organ
of the Ministry, has given to its readers a long
article in reference to a report that we have
received fronA Naples, namely, that a secret
arrangement had been entered into between the
Pope and the King of Naples, by which Lamori-
ciere has been charged to arrange a plan for the
defence of the dominions at this side of the Faro,

the papal army will
and that in all probability,
unite itself to that of the Neapolitan. "In this
case," continues the article, " it will be the incum-
bent duty of our Government to abandon that
reserve and inaction, which perhaps up to the
present moment were advantageous to the cause
of Italy, but without infringing upon international
rights, (meaning the indirect support given to
the Oaribaldian expeditions), because.it is now no
longer a struggle between the soldiers of Gari-
baldi and the army of Naples, but also with the
mercenary dregs of Ireland, Germany and Swit-
zerland, with soldiers of every country, except
Italy (?), which would constitute the worst des-
cription of intervention, because it is masked
under the pontifical banner of Rome. The move-
rckent of events proceeds with such rapidity that
it is very difficult to arrest it, whether it be on
the part of the King of Naples or General

Lanaariciere; but if the latter hastens on the crisis
of the Roman States by an intervention in the
affairs of Naples, we are certain that our Govern-
ment will not fail in its duty. It has hitherto
known how to temper energy with moderation,
but should events require bold and energetic
means in defence of our nationality, we are per-
suaded that the Government will not hesitate to
adopt them."
A letter from Turin informs me that the Nea-
politan envoys, Manna and Winspeare, have
determined to prolong their stay at Turin. On
the receipt of this news the Pungolo, one of the
most fiery prints of this city, has strung together
a very violent article, and seems to be absolutely
choking with rage,, crying out in the most vio-
lent maiirrer--" What do these envoys mean by
stopping here mote than a week after all official
relations have been broken off between them and
our ministers ? The object is clear—they wish
to deceive the Neapolitans. It is, therefore,
necessary that our Government should not be a
party to this deception, and at once to intimate
to these representatives that their presence in
Turin is at least inopportune ;" or, in other words,
the language of the Pungolo amounts to this—
.if Cavour does not instantly kick out of Turin
Manna and Winspeare, I will.
-Taking the above extracts; off' the chief official
journals as a guide to the present and future
progress of the affairs of this country, it is clear
that we are rapidly approaching a state of things
which most certainly will not be decided either
by the Governments of Turin or Naples; and,
without further entering upon the immense field
of matter which the present position of the affairs
of this country furnishes, I think it may be
condensed into these few words—lt is now be-
' yond all doubt that Lamoriciere, with Garibaldi's
programme before h eyes,,, will induce the Papal
i,s
Government to, permit him to unite hiia army to
that of Naples,. if for no other purpose than to
draw Piedmont into, a snare, and thereby open a
way for Austrian intervention. Piedmont, being
aware of this intended move of the Papal army,
and knowing that Lamoriciere's 24,000 men are.
not Neapolitan soldiers, but men that 1431 W 414
like devils, and not give ail inch, of ground, 'will,
therefore, endeavour ta, make a di-version, in order
to assist Garibaldi, by an energetic demand to
compel the Pope to instantly dissolve the corps
of mercenary soldiers that he has in his pay, the
Pope, of course, will refuse. Piedmont will then,
make a demonstration on the Papal l'rontier, and
perhaps enter Umbria and the Marches, in order
to call off Lamoriciere.s._ aid to the Neapolitans.
Will Austria, knowing the declared determination
of Garibaldi, should he succeed in defeating
Pianelli, taking Naples, and marching on to
Rome, remain a quiet spectator of this interven-
tion on the part of Piedmont, being but too cer-
tain that Garibaldi's next s.te would be to
endeavour to free Veni.s.e ? the following is a
short extract of a long article upon this subject
from the official gazette of Verona :—"ln all pro-
bability at this moment the revolutionists are
marching upon Naples. To-morrow they will
direct their steps to Rome. 'Gil ifog permit them

impossible ; she could not escape being dragged
into hostilities against Francis 11. The ilsktiP4,
would compel her to take this course,, at what-.

the intervention of Austria; and 'God only knows
how or in what way it would end ;,-but there is
every probability that it woula draw Europe into

The most exaggerated accounts are continually
reaching us of desertions in the army and navy

The Constitut ionliel again refers to the precau-

tionary measures which are being adopted in
England for the defence of the country, and in
the course of an article remarks, " People are
inclined to ask, is it wise of the Imperial Govern-
ment altogether to neglect the indirect warnings
which come from the other side of the Channel ?
Is it prudent, from excess of moderation, to per-
severe in that system of conciliatory arrangement
for which we meet with no return ? Is it not
time, on the contrary, to try another ? It is
dangerous, might be said. No; the United States
tried it with success, why should not we ? In
such terms do our national susceptibilities find
expression, and not without pretext. It should
not be forgotten in England that the Emperor
alone has hitherto been permitted to stand aloof
from the passions and impulses of the multitude ;
he alone has constantly shown himself more
moderate than his country. Why ? Because his
name is Napoleon, and patience the natural
accompaniment of conscious strength."

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 8.

News from Syria has been received to the
29th ultimo. Fuad Pasha has arrested the prin-
cipal civil and military functionaries. Ahmet
and Kurchid • Pashas have arrived here under
arrest. Ahmet Pasha has been sent back to•
Beyrout, after having been publicly degraded ;
Kurchid Pasha is to follow. Both are to be tried
by mixed commissions. Rumours reached here
yesterday, of a massacre at Balbeck. All is quiet
at Aleppo.

The Porte has given its answer to the Servian:
deputation. In reply to the first demand of the
deputation, viz., the recognition of the hereditary
succession of the Obrenovitch family, the Porte
refuses to acknowledge the abstract right, but
consents to the succession of Prince Michael. On
the second point, referring to the residence of
Turks in Servia beyond the boundaries of the
fortresses, the Porte consents to be bound by
the capitulations forbidding such residences.
Regarding the third point, viz., the claim of
Servia for permission to frame a new capitula-
tion, the Porte refuses to accede, but will send
commissioners to inquire into the defects of the
existing constitution.
A local loan of 75,000,000 piastres is being
negotiated by the Porte. The Grand Vizier will
not return as soon as was intended.
