FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE. 22.
P ARI 4, Sept.

Owing to fresh ruptures : of the telegraphic
wires, there is no additional. news from Central

Italy.'
I have nothing to add to what I have already
said respecting the alleged differences of opinion
between Garibaldi and the Government of Turin ;
.I still incline to the persuasion that all will ulti-
mately be arranged satisfactorily.
Whilst the tragedy at Castelfilard was being
enacted, there was a comedy going on at Gaeta,
which, but for the want of spectators, would be
extremely :piquant. Francis H. has abolished
the Constitution, dissolved the National Guard,
recalled his Ministry, and all in the most private
manner. It is even stated—but really the story
is only fit for the columns of Punch or the Chunl.
vari—that an aid-de-camp of the ex-king has
brought all these various decrees to. Naples, and
that Garibaldi, far from putting any obstacle in
the way of his mission, has placed a carriage and
horses at the disposal of the messenger. Whether
this anecdote be true or_not, it is certainly a very

good one.
M. Adolphe Gneronet, the chief editor of the
Opinion Nationale, a journal whose sympa-
thies are very elastic in -favour of the Italian
cause in one direction, has just returned from
Turin. He was received by MM• Cavour and
Farini, and it is to be hoped he has benefited by
the interview.
The following amiable picture is given in:the
Montteur of the character of the deceased Duchess
of Alba, the beloved sister of the Empress :
. The Duchess of Alba died at the age of 35. Her
beauty, her grace, her esprit had made her the arbitress
of elegance, the soul of all fetes in Madrid, where she
was designated the Queen of Salons. She made use of
her empire to solace all who were unfortunate,,to patronise
talent yet unknown, and not unfrequentiv to inspire the
Spanish aristocracy, whom luxury had not altogether
caused to forget the chivalrous virtues of their ancestors,
with noble and patri'tic sentiments and enthusiism.
The fatigues undergone by `he Duchess; in consequence
of the illness of one of her children, caused the first
shock' to her health. She Was conveyed to Paris, •in
order to consult the ablest physicians, but her matady
defied all the resources of science. - This lady, surrounded
by all the gifts of nature, a happy trbther, 'an adored
daughter, the sister and intimate friend of sovereigns,

displayed in her last moments a strength of mind and a
resignation worthy of her race. In the midst of her
agonising sufferings she never lost her serenity, nor even
that gentle cheerfulness which her friends recognised in
her. She appeared solicitous only of reanimating the
hopes, or rather the illusions, of her mother, whilst she
found courage to conceal from her the anguish by which
she was racked. She expired with a smile ow her lips,
in the arms of her mother, on the 16th of this month, at
the moment when her sister, the Empress, was approach-
ing the capital of our African possessions. One cannot
reflect without anxiety on the eflects of this sad news.
The glories, the triumphs of the marvellous journey are
forgotten; they have deprived the Empress of a dearly
beloved sister.
The gallant General de Pimodan who sank.
under the wounds received Irk him in the attempt
to force the lines of General Cialdini, at Castel-
fidardo; was previously an officer in the Royal
Guard of Charles X. He belonged to a family of
the Faubourg St. Germain. His family haying
claimed his body, the Piedmontese Government
hastened to respond to this request, and the mor-
tal remains of the General were to be conveyed to
Turin to-day, and from thence to Paris, escorted.
by one of the chaplains of the Pontifical army.
This is quite as it should be.
I understand that the Count. de Quatrebarbes,
who was also formerly an officer of the Royal
Guard in the service of Charles X., and deputy for
Anjou in the last Legislative Assembly, com-
mands the garrison of Ancona. It thus appears
that the three officers in the Papal army.on whom
the chief burden of: supporting the Papal cause
has fallen, are all natives of France. The two of
whom I have been speaking, being Legitimists,
and Lamoriciere a sterol Republican—at least, he
was so at the time of the coup (Fetal.
A Berlin journal, the Gazette de la Croix, men-
tioned some time ago a rather mysterious affair
which has happened to an aide-de-ea»ip of the
Prince Frederick of Prussia. This officer, M.
d'Ostrowski—a Pole, judging from his name—had
been struck by a conical ball during the military
inspection at Frankfort-on-the-Oder, which
wounded him severely. The above j ournal attributed
the mishap to negligence, but it has since been
ascertained, says the Correspondance _Tiaras, that
the fact was quite otherwise, and that in one
of the regiments raised in Poland especially, a great
many of the men had fired ball, and that twenty
persons were wounded. As a punishment, this
regiment was restricted to remain en bivouac
until the end of the rnanucevres, and during the
three days it was fro confined, the men were
placed on a diet of bread and water. Great
efforts were made, it is said, to conceal this affair

altogether.
I see it stated that at the reception recently
given to the King of the Belgians in the town of
Ypres, in West Flanders, a magnificent bouquet
was presented by a group of beautifully-dressed
young ladies to the Duchess of Brabant, which
was enveloped% a magnificent piece of Ypres late,
called Valenciennes, which was more than 1,500
centimetres in depth, and was manufactured by
M. M. Duhazon Brumhaiit.
The animation I noticed at the Bourse still
continues—Renter have risen
PARI 68f. 50c.
S, Sept. 24.
No despatches, containing authentic details of
the military operations which have taken place
in the States of the Church, had arrived up to
yesterday evening. Not only is .the telegraphic
communication, as I have mentioned, interrupted,
but those by the ordinary means betiveen Ancona
and Rome are intercepted by the corps d'armee,
whose headquarters are at Spoleto.
In presence of such a state of things, it is not
surprising that intelligence should be offered for
belief from other sources. Accordingly,. it is
now reported that a merchant ship which left
Ancona on the evening of the 19th, and arrived
at Trieste, has brought the intelligence that, up
to the moment of. its departure, General Lamo:
riciere had not entered the place ; that, however,
a certain number of the soldiers of the Pontifical
army had succeeded in entering the lines by
the mountains in the course of thethat
19th, and that these fugitives had asserted that,
according to their estimate, the Roman troops,
in the battle of the 18th, had lost
.1,000 men,
amongst whom were 600 prisoners and 400 put
liars de combat. In addition to the above, it has
been since stated that on the morning of the 18th,
2,00 u men belonging to OP corps of General
Pimodan surrendered, from which It iesolis
that the total loss of the Roman army in the
bloody engeageerm, engagement of the 18th would be 3,000
men.
fuller information which is being
expected, will probably lead to a modification of
some of these details.
Some further particulars have reached me
regarding the lamented General Pimodan. He
married, three years ago, Mdlle. de Coronel, the
grand-daughter of the Duke d'Laval. The de-
ceased had a very large fortune, and as I have
already mentioned, resigned his commission in
he French army in 1830. Since that time, he

as served in the Austrian arms; but he did

as has been erroneously said, fight against his
in which he showed
of the war of 1848'
des DPIIX Moncles, some memoirs
cthouttyr
enino at Solferino. He contributed
him-
self to be decidedly hostile to the Italian move-
ment. The Faubourg St. Germain, the Legiti-
mist quarter of Paris, is expecting with much
anxiety the list of the killed at Castelfidardo
and elsewhere, for a great many of its denizens
are or were fighting in the Pontifical ranks. It
is thought, also, that among the prisoners taken a
great many will turn out to be French Legitimists.
Latrioriciere's eqnadron of Guides was almost
exclusively composed of French/
and the whole
have been captured.
The rumours respecting the intentions of the
Pope are still contradictory. According to some
accounts, Pius IX: is farther than ewer from

leaving Rome
, and he has placed himself un.

reservedly under the protection of France—a
result which is attributed to OW
and entreaties of General Goyon. According to
after others, the successor of St. Peter, consulting
prguinents
the Catholic Episcopate, has received it as the
opinion of that body that his dignity
as Sovereign
Pontiff would be in more safety and in
keeping if he abandoned Rome; and it is even
said that he has gone e far as to have 9better
accepted
an offer from Queen Isabella to ,accept an asylum
in a convent in Mahon, in Majorca. It will,
therefore, be safer to wait for the encylical letter
