POREIG-N INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
tFROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.).
PARIS, Friday, Oct. 5.

No change is yet reported to have taken.place in the
respective positions of the troops of Garibaldi and the
Neapolitans, but it is rumoured—though this may be
10413' a 'blind to conceal some decisive move—that Gari-
balj hai given- out that he will delay his projected
general attack upon the Neapolitan line, until he is
i°laed by the Piedmontese, who are on their way to
-ICaples. - It is also said that the Dictator, disgusted with
has
e plots and intrigues which are going on around him,
alias consented-at least for the'moment—(whichis, per-
aPs) as much as could be expected from him) to erase,
and Venetia -from his faMous programme.!hie be so, it is tantament to removing all cause. of dif-
ference between him and Count
.Cavour. Venice will
not be attacked, as M. de Cavour has promisedJ and
the city 'of Rome will be respected. • •
On .the other hand, however, if reliance 'is td':

Italian ..war_ are far from being as yet set at rest.

to be compromised or endangered by a hostile act on the
part of its neighbonrs upon the Venetian frontiers. If
Ills be so, there is here a distinct menace, that the
Peace of Europe is in imminent danger; but for my.
134% I din see nothing more in the preparations which
411 Stria is making, than those necessary measures of
defence which thOpircumstanceS of her present situation"

The Turin Gazette gives the text of the report read
Dde Cavour on Tuesday last in the Chamber of
eputies, but it is much too long to, find a Place in this
letter. Besides, a translation of the document will no
doubt have appeared, before this time in, the London.
Papers. .

stratiois of approval ; after which M. Mazzucchirose,
and after pronouncing an eloquent eulogium upon the
Piedmontese troops, by whom the operation's in 'Umbria
and the Marches had been conducted, he proposed the
following motion, which was unanimously agree'd to
amidst lend cheers :
The Senate of the kingdom applauding the bravery
shown

411 the Marches, declares that it has deserved well of the
Country of Italy and of European civilisation.

ing reasons—doubtless. apropos of the ministerial report

garrison having been reinforced • ; • •
