affairs of Rome, the presence of the French army
being a sufficient guarantee for the safety of His
Holiness. Will this. assurances satisfy these
powers ; or will France be able to turn that im-
petuous current of events which. is every day
hurling us towards that crisis which her policy
seems destined to inflict upon Europe
It is the fashion of the press of this country,
every time that it drives the Government into a
false position, to immediately subdue its Quixotic
boasting, take for their themes prudence and wis-
dom, and at the same time set up a cry. against
the contemplated coalition of England, Austria,
Prussia, and even Russia, against France sending
the full chorus of their united voices to the other
side of the Alps. _Remember that we are your
only sincere al 7 !I; all. Europe is against you ; the
extension of our power is- your strength ; Italy
rniEed would be able to command such a military
and naval force which, when united to that of
France, would place you beyond every peril, and
enable you to defy all intope. In the first
place, I doubt the sincerity of this assist-
ance, knowing but too well the arrogant pride
add egotism of this nation, should she ever become
united kingdom, and feel the influence and
importance of her force. No nation has done
more for the Italians than the English; and in
the present struggle no country has assisted .
Garibaldi with greater spontaneity and liberality
than the English ;' nevertheless the press of this
country has the baseness to attribute to the
English Government and nation the most dis-
honourable motives for this s' English support:"

I give yott the following extract from an article
in Lint evening's number of the Gazette of Milan,
entitled "L'ltalia e l'Europa:"—" For England
and Russia, Italy is a great chess-board, upon
which they are both playing a game for their
mts special interests. RUSSiD, fears the opposition
of England in her attempts is the East, and uses
all her force to secure her alliance with France,

hinting that Russia is every day drawing nearer
to Austria, but which I still persist in asserting
is impossible, and no doubt the English cabinet
is of the same opinion ; but the truth is, that
England' rather fears the approach of France to
the policy of Russia for the new partition . not
only of the Map O turope, but also of Asia and
Africa. &gland fears Russia in the Mediterra-
neah, and stilt more in the Aniur, in Chiffit, in
India, where Russia has quietly, 'hilt solidly, laid
. •

:he foundation of a potiverhi influence. England

mistrusts Frances and would be to-morrow the

ally of Austzia, if she did not fear, by such an
alliance, she would be establishing an immediate

l'i6udly understanding between Fraria and

Russia. In the midst of these toata,sts stands

Italy. In Italy, England his industriously and
secretly fomented eevolation, hoping to increase
the complications of this Peninsula, and thereby
prevent France from proceeding in her designs in
the atfairs of the Ottoman Empire,, always ready
to withdraw her sympathy and support the day
when she perceives that there is the least pro-
bability of a happy solution, in our faVour, of the
question which is now agitating this country."
Let not your readers imagine that this is siniply
the opinion of one writer or ofte itidNidnat my
intimate knowledge of the people Mid the daily
conversations I hear in every place I find myself
proves that it it the Opinion of the majority of
the Italians, and that the majority of the
Italians, like many others, are jealous of our
power, commerce, industry, wealth, honesty, and
fmnkness: Ido not take this miserable scribbler's

assertion as the basis of my opinion of the
Italians towards us. I cannot forget their articles,
insults, sneers, and ill Wishes, not to say male-
dictions, that were heaped upon us during the

Crimean war it is this and other circumstances

that convinces me of the deep-rooted feeling

of n large majority of the Italians towards

England. This same oracle declares, as above
quoted, that a friendly understanding, between

Russia and Austria is impossible, and that the
approaching meeting at Warsta, even should
Austria take a part, will be h Pere friendly visit

without the slightest political importance. This
is precisely what the revolutionary and repub-
lican party would wish; but it is too absurd to

suppose that, notwithstanding the hostilities of
the Imperial families of Russia and Austria,

occasioned by the conduct of the latter Power

during the Crimean war, that they Will any
longer oppose an immediate teeoneiliation,

threatened' as they are by revolution from every
quarter, or permit It.ossuth or Garibaldi at
Naples, and the Poles :of the Continent and
London, to uninterruptedly organise their forces,
in order to spread revolution and anarchy in those
two empires. There can be no doubt that the
approaching ..interview at Warsaw, which is
announced for the first week in Octoberl

lead to a perfect reconciliation bet Ween
:Russia and Austria, and a. miktital under-
standing as to the policy to be pursued -under
the present difficult position of affairs which
is now holding Europe in a state of the most
uncertain suspense. The following Sovereigns
will meet the Czar at Warsaw :—The Regeitt
of
Prussia, the Emperor of Austria, the Ring of
Bavaria, the King of Saxony) the King of Hol-
land, and the Grand Lucke of Weimar.
I must now give you a few brief particulars of
the affairs of Naples. All our information from
that city confirms the news of Francis 11, being
still at Gaeta, with about 25,000 or 30,000 men
which., it is said, will be united to Lamoriciere's
troops, but which, more probably, will reitialn to
defend this position, should Garibaldi direct his
forces against this last refuge of the fallen
monarch. A despatch from Vienna announces
that the Athbassadors of Austria, Prussia, and
Russia have received orders to leave Naples for

Gaeta.
As I stated in my former letters, Garibaldi hat
consigned the Neapolitan fleet to the Sardinian
Admiral Persano ; but as nearly ell the ships have
been abandoned by their crews, they are almost
useless, until such time as sailors can be found
for the same. Numerous regiments have been
disbanded; and notwithstanding every effort on
the part of Garibaldi to keep the administration
of the affairs of the country in order, retaining
for this purpose nearly all the old employees, I
am told that, in every department there is the
most delightful disorder and conflision that it is
possible to imagine". Still, onward dashes the
General, hurling commissions here and there
for ships of every tonnage, ordering the imme-
diate conversion of others into ships of war, the
manning of others, re-christening all the Neapo-
litan navy, despatching Brigadier Colonel ?intro
Balzani to Florence to pick up all the volunteers
in the Sardinian army, whoso period of service
expires this week, organising his army now
at Naples, confiscating all the estates of the
King and the ecclesiastical order of Constantiano,
declaring the same, from the date of the decree,
(13th instant) to form part of the property of the
State. The Dictator, by way of a sop in the pan
to the Lazzaroni
, has insisted that all the bakers
reduce their bread to five gram, ol rotulo, or about
thirty-three ounces, obliging the municipality of
Naples to make good the difference. The General
has also instituted a free school for the education
of about 1,000 children, the localities destined for
the same being those from which Garibaldi has
; then the stamping or en-
expelled the monks
graving of new official seals, bearing the words
' Vittorio Enonanttele Re d'ltalia ;" the reception
of Hungarian and Venetian deputations; and
thus, I think, I have given your readers a faithful
account of what has been done since the General
entered that city.
Now, let us see what .is the
present feeling of the Neapolitans. Nearly all
the most influential men of Naples have abstained
from taking any part in the present affairs; and
the greatest disapprobation seems to be felt
at the appointments and men selected by Gari-
baldi. A letter received by me this morning
begins with this very encouraging phrase, " The
affairs of Naples are going very badly, and
threaten to become even worse." Already dissen-
sions begin to show themselves among the mem-
bers of the Provisional Government, Scialoja,
Minister of Finance, having just given in his
resignation; and that black traitor, Liborio
Romano,
is expected to follow the example of his
colleague.
The Marquis Giorgio pallavicino Tri-
oulzio has left for Naples, but reserving his decision
of accepting
the pro-Dictatorship until he sees
with his own
eyes the real state of things at
Naples. This is precisely what I told your
readers, in my former letters, would be
the result.
