FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.'
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PAnts, Saturday, Oct. 6.
Garibaldi has been victorious in a severe and
bloody engagement with the Roylal tro6ps; bitt
he was the assailed, lie the. assailant. He an-
nounces the victory hiniteif, very laconic
despatch 'of the Ist tor October, which purports to
be dated from his .head-quarters ; but another
despatch from Naples subsequently received,
ekplainS that the victory was won in repelling an
attack of the Royal troops at Caserata, and that
one of its results has been the capture of an entire
brigade of 2,000 men, which, however, it is not
improbable to suppose, passed over to the Gari-
baklians in the course of the fight.
As I formerly mentioned, the project of deciding
the issue of the campaign by the fate of a general
action was discussed in a council of wary presided
over by General Garibaldi, bit owing to the for-
midable nature of the position obetkpled by the
enemy on the left bank of the Volturno., it was
thought expedient to detay the attack. It is,
therefore, not unlikely that the Neapolitans,
encouraged by their success at tajazz% and by
the inaction of the volnnteerg, 'decided Cott taking
the offensive, and attentiiting t. 6 Tatty Caserata,
with the ulterior idea, ir Adeessful, of making a
coup de main i;tlion isTkples itself. They have,
however, signally Miscalculated both their own
etreiigth and. the bravery and resources of the
Garibililiiihs, for according to the despatches to
Whinti I have alluded, they have met with asignal
defeat. It would be premature, however, to
decide, upon the effect of this victory, or to
hazard an ?pinion whether or not one of its con-
,sequences will entail the fall of Caput), ; but the
triumph has come just in time to rescue the
prestige of the Dictator from the cloud which has
been hovering over it of late. When he now
abdicates his power to Victor Emmanuel, he will
be able to surrender at the same time the glory
of his arms unimpaired, nay, even brighter than
ever.' How sad it is, nevertheless, to contem-
plate the fearful slaughter which has attended
ench a consummation.
the news of the actual entrance of the Pied-
montese upon Neapolitan soil has not .yet been
.confirmed, but it is rumoured a tam that
General Cialdini has already repelled. Aquila with
his troops. In the prospect nt the perrhane'pt fall
of Francis 11., which cannot long be delayed, andl
of the annexation of his kingdoni to Piedrnont,
along with the provinces reeently carried 'CT from
the Holy Se% everybody is now hasp bpeculating
on the new arrangeiietitr Weh are in course
of being prepared for It*, and on the best mode
of accomplishing the thion of the whole country
Wider the tonstittitional sceptre of Victor Emma-
nuel. The feeling is daily gaining. ground here,
as it 4pears to be doing in England, that the
Only Way to get ont of the difficulty, as regards
Venetia, is tq purchase that province from Aus-
tria. N.(l doubt, the disinclination of Austria to
pait with it cannot have been diminished by
the consideration of the enormous and expensive
preparations she has already made, and is still
engaged in making, to retain and defend it; at
the same time, the Austrian Government is not
in a condition to refuse a fair pecuniary offer;
and, if this , mode of dealing with the acknow-
ledged difficulties of the case be supported and
recommended by Prussia, as it is stated to be
by more than one of the German papers, I do
not despair of seeing such an arrangement ulti-
mately carried 'ont. It has been suggested, I
observe, that one of 'the best things the
Sovereigns and their adyisers, who are to meet'
at Warsaw on the 20th instant, can apply their
minds to is this very subject.
Considerable discontent is stated to have been
caused at Mayence ,in consequence of German
troops forming the Austrian contingent in that
city having been replaced by Italian soldiers ;
and the Cologne Gazette enquires "if these Ita-
lians, or rather these Venetians, are not in reality
prisoners of war of Austria, whom the other
federal troops are to be charged with the object
of guarding?" Such incidents as these are very
disagreeable ; and so long as they continue to
happen, Austria never can be secure, either inter-
nally or externally. At Rastadt, I believe, the
Austrian troops, who have been despatched to
Italy, are replaced by a battalion of Poles, one of
Hungarians, one of Italians (probably Modenese),
and one of Bohemians.
The following is an outline of the speech of the
. Keeper of the Seals, M. Senator Cassinis, to the
Upper Sardinian Chamber, on the 2nd inst. It
nssigns the cause why the Parliament • was con-
voked, and is not such a lengthy document as M.

Cavour's report :
"Senators," said M. Cassinis, "with the concurrence
of the whole nation, by a reciprocal confidence and
excellent harmony, we shall succeed without fail in con-
stituting a kingdom, great and strong, which, by its
strength and power, shall make itself respected by
Europe, and shall be a guarantee of that peace which
all desire.
"In the grave circumstances in the midst of which
we find ourselves, the Government felt that it was a
necessity as well as a duty on their part to apply to
Parliament. Disposed, as we are, to accept all the
responsibility of our acts, we must he careful that our
action be not inefficacious; and we hope to receive a
fresh support from your confidence, of which you gave:
so brilliant a proof some months ago—(the vote of 150
millions of francs).
" Our revolution has been a glorious revolution, and
all Europe has been filled with admiration for that Mils-
' trions warrior General Garibaldi, whose exploits will
always form one of the splendid glories of Italy. But
the movement has taken a different direction,' and by
that very fact, uneasiness, 'has taken possession of
Europe; but were we on that account to abandon results
which we had obtained ? Ought we not rather to con-
fine the movement within the limits which prudence
advises, and save the country from anarchy ? Our
enterprise has been inaugurated under the glorious
name of Victor Emmanuel. The magnanimous 'King
could not fail in his noble object, nor neglect the oppor-
tune means of obtaining it. Eleven millions of Italians
demand to be interrogated : they 'ask to be made part of
the great Italian kingdom. This is the reason the
Government, has convoked the Parliament ; and for my
having thus, simultaneously with my •colleague in the
other house, introduced a project of law, by which we
.seek -permission from the government of the Bing to
accept and to ratify by royal decree the annexation of
the Italian peoples who have recovered their liberty!
You will examine our acts, you will discuss our policy
and our projects, with that patriotism of which you
given so many proofs. We shall be happy should it
appear to you, that as Italians, as citizens, and as
ministers of the King, we have not been unfaithful to
' the country, and to its glorious destinies."
, . You will see, by the foregoing, that the two
objects for •which the Chambers have been con-
voked are, Ist, to obtain a vote of confidence in
the Ministry, and 2nd, to obtain authority for the
Government to comply with the -wishes of eleven
millions of Italians who have demanded to be
allowed to form part of the great Kingdom of

Italy.
M. Bertani, since his arrival in Turin, has sent
the following letter to the journals of that city,
-which it is but. fair to him to assist in circu-
lating
"Arrived yesterday at Turin, I find public opinion
excited against me, owing to two accusations ; ist, that
I sent a despatch to M. Tripoli at Tesino, to oppose by
force the entrance of the Royal (Sardinian) troops into
the Neapolitan territory; 2nd, that I advised theimme-
diate occupation of Rome at the risk of a conflict with
France.
" I oppose to these assertions a formal contradiction,
and I declare,—that neither Garibaldi nor.. I have ever
entertained a thought of promoting' hostilities against
France, and that the statement of my having propose&
that the entrance of the Royal troops should be resisted,
is a calumny directed against me, and a most infamous
one. Signed A. BERTANI."
Behold another verification of the saying ,that
everybody is " net so black as he is painted.'

The arrival at Marseilles of the son of General
Salzano, who 'commanded' the Royal troops
at Capua, is reported, together with that of the
General's mother, his wife, and his children. The
revolutionarY committee, according to the Ami de
la religion, having been desirous, in consequence
of the defeats of the Garibaldians at Cajazzo, to
• arrest the family, as hostages, M. Salzano's
son
deenied it „prudent to take refuge on board a
French ship. Ile was received, as well as all his
belongings, with all the respect that was due to
.him, and he has since found his way with them
safely into France.
The Constantinople Journal of the 26th, states'
that the favourable winds which prevailed towards"
