POREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday night, Oet. 23, 1860.
The following is resume of the latest news
given in the Patric of this evening, many parts
of which are unusually interesting :
The latest despatches from Naples inform us that the
electoral operations terminated yesterday, the 22nd. It
was thought that' the vote in favour of annexation
Would take place, throughout the kingdom of the Two
%cities, almost unanimously. This result was foreseen,
and has been indicated as certain by the authorities of
the different provinces.
The Piedmontese corps of General Cialdini was con-
centrated between Isernia and Venafro, ready to pass
the Volturno, an operation which was to be made m a
few days, in presence of king Victor Emmanuel.
The Neapolitans troops had fallen back upon Capua,
Which *as expected to be immediately evacuated.
A corps of 15,000 men is to protect the retreat of the
to al troops, where they fall back upon Gaeta.
From Ancona a letter has been received, dated the
17th, stating that a commission of engineer officers had
arrived in that city, and that various important works were
shortly to be commenced under their direction. A
large quantity of provisions and materiel of war is also
to be collected in this place, which is about to become
the maritime arsenal of Piedmont in the Adriatic. It
is destined, by its proximity to Venice and the Gulf of
Trieste, to play a grand rile whenever operations shall
be undertaken against Venetia.
It is stated that General Goyon, commander of the
French divisions in Italy, arrived,at Rome on the 22nd,
on his return from an inspection which he had made
in the Northern States of the Church. The General has
gone, 'it is said, to Orveto above Viterbo,_ to inquire
into the state of affairs in that quarter. He found our
lines perfectly established, and the country in a complete
state of tranquility. Our soldiers have acquired the
sympathy of the inhabitants among whom they are
living. The Pontifical administration has resumed its
regular course. None of the inhabitants have been
interfered with on account of their opinions, and
reaction has not manifested itself on any point.
The rumour of the departure of the Pope, which has
been persistently circulated for some days past, has latterly
ceased to be circulated. A telegraphic despatch
announces that Monsignor Sacconi,. the Nuncio Apostolic
at Paris, arrived at Civita Veccha on the morning of
the 23rd instant, on board the packet boat of the Quiri-
nal Company.
That portion of the intelligence which refers to
the preparations at Ancona for the pending
struggle with Austria, is, I have no doubt, quite
accurate.
Every letter that is being received from Rome
at present unites in representing that the pitch of
irritation at which the Sovereign Pontiff has
arrived, is extreme. The strongest vials of his
wrath are not, however, poured out upon Victor
Emmanuel, but upon Napoleon 111., whom he
looks upon (I am afraid justly) as responsible for
all that has happened to him, and whom he
accuses above all of having failed in those pro-
mises which his Holiness considered to be the
best guarantees of his security. His Holiness
gave the " cold shoulder " to General Gerandon
in the most decided manner when be was pre-
sented to him the other day.
At Viterbo, it is said, more than two thousand
persons have left the town since it was again
placed under the authority of the Pope. A part
of those who remain endeavour to avoid in
every way coming into contact with the French
troops, and do not go near any of the cafes fre-
quented by the French officers. It is well known
that a deputation came to Paris from Viterbo,
expressly to entreat of the Emperor that the town
might not again be placed under the Pontifical
rule. It was received by Prince Napoleon, who
gave the members to understand that General de
Goyon had been rather exceeding his commission
of late.
Singularly enough a number of the Gazette
de Lyon arrived in Paris and was circulated the
day after it was suppressed. The decree contain-
ing the edict suppressing the paper arrived by a
private despatch from Paris, and it did not reach
the office until after the issue of that morning
had been sent off. The effect produced by the
suppression of this paper among the party whose
organ it is, has been proportionably great, from its
being quite understood that any other paper
which advocates the same side on the Roman
question is struck at by this measure. In short,
a decided breach has taken place between the
Emperor and the ultrttmontane party in the
Church, which is very much to be rejoiced at on
many accounts.
In a very remarkable leading article upon the
Warsaw interview, the National Gazette of Ber-
lin declares that the meeting of the Three
Powers will probably only serve better to elimi-
nate the opposition which exists between the
interests of each. This journal says—
Public opinion in Russia explicitly repudiates the
coalition and the Austrian alliance. The Russian
noblesse condemned the reactionary and exclusive policy
of the Emperor Nicholas. All that the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg desires is to recover the influence and supre-
macy which Russia possessed in the East. It aspires,
la one word, to a revision of the treaty of 1856—a
revision which it can only obtain with the concurrence
of France, and by means of a European Congress. As
for the question of the nationalities, the Czar, in spite of
the recall of his AmbOsador from Turin, will observe as
much as possible a wise reserve.
As for Prussia, it will need to guard itself from yield-
ing to legitimist tendencies, in order that it may not
compromise itself by perilous engagements. It will
need, above all, to cease from maintaining a position too
decided against France. Although an intimate alliance
