THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1860.

by all the churches of the city, giving us a very
noisy, but not very harmonious concert. Crowds
of people rushed into the Corso, bands paraded
the principal streets playing the most lively and
soul-stirring national airs, operatives threw up
their work, joined the crowds marching after the
bands, and filling the air with those shouts which
the ear could tell came from the heart, " Viva
!" " Viva Vittorio Emmanuele !" " Viva
Garibaldi !" " Viva l'Jnione !" This scene brought
to my mind the following lines :
" Rouse thee, Italia! Thine alone
The arm to free thee and defend
From tyrants on the field or throne,
From open foe or wily friend.
Rouse thee, Italia, and thy sons !
Though bound and bleeding, thou art strong,
And sweep the chains of Goths and Huns,
And all who plot to do thee wrong !
Rouse thee ! and, over land and sea,
Wherever Freedom breathes a word,
Or prints a book, a prayer for thee
Shall rise, heart-spoken, and be heard.
Thy God thine aid, and rallying cry,
Thy sword unsheathed, thy flag unfurled;
Fight the good fight of Liberty,
And stand—the glory of the world."
An hour after the posting of the bills an-
nouncing the flight of Francis 11., the city was
in full festa—lines of carriages, filled with ele-
gantly dressed ladies, paraded the Corso, whose
smiling faces showed the joy and satisfaction
they felt in the triumphs of their "great hero.
Multitudes of living beings choked up every
passage to the principal promenades; and in the
evening every house, from those of the poorest
mechanic to the richest patrician, was brilliantly
illuminated, as was also the lantern of the Duomo,
which, under a blue starlight sky, gave to the
exquisite and rich tracery of this wonderful edi-
fice, such an enchanting appearance as can only
be appreciated by those who have had
.the
good fortune to be in this city upon a similar
occasion, during the memorable year of 1809.
The municipality determined to keep up the joy
Of the people, ordered its bands to occupy the
principal squares of the city, in order to amuse
the people by playing,numeroue pieces from the
most popular operas of Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti,
and Verdi, so that we had our streets crowded
with merry faces till long after midnight.
Scarcely had the cheers of Monday evening died
away, when they were again taken lip and echoed
throughout every part of the city, on the
announcement last evening of Victor Emmanuel's
proclamation to the army to cross the frontier,
and take possession of the Marches and Umbria.
This is a bold step on the part of Sardinia, and
apparently in open defiance of the remonstrances
of France, Spain, and the Northern Powers.
What will be the consequences it is almost im-
possible to predict. Sardinia cannot now, with-
draw—she must go forward, and boldly face
those difficulties which she will most certainly
have to encounter. A few days more will decide
whether she will be permitted unmolested to
become supreme mistress of all Italy.

I cannot close this letter without calling the
attention of your readers to the constitution of
the Neapolitan Ministry as nominated by Gari-
baldi. In it we find the name of Liborio Romano
as Minister of the Interior and Police, which now
clearly proves that the rumours about this man,
during the time that he held the same office under
Francis 11., were not without some foundation—
namely, that he was in daily correspondence
with Garibaldi, while he, Pianelli, and others,
were professing the greatest devotion to the
Xing, the object of this perfidy being to enable
them the more effectually to induce the King,
under the accusation of conspiracy, to banish
from the palace and the kingdom those who were
his only friends. This being accomplished the
task was easy, all the power remaining in the
hands of this crafty traitor. Liborio Romano,
having succeeded in this infamous conspiracy,
now reaps the reward of his treachery by still
holding his portfolio as Minister of the Interior
and Police. Taking all the circumstances that
have occurred at Naples since the bombardment
of Palermo up to the moment of the King's flight
from his capital, it would be impossible to con-
ceive blacker or more infamous conspiracy than
that which has been enacted by the ministers,
generals, and uncle of Francis 11.
Our latest news from Naples announce that
the King is still at Gaeta, but from one hour to
another is expected to leave for Spain. The insur-
rection in the Pontifical States is widely sPreading
from city to city, and, if it continues, must end
in the total destruction of Lamoriciere's forces.
At Fossombrone a sanguinary combat took place
between the Pontifical troops and the citizens,
but ended in the defeat of the latter, with great
loss. A telegram just received states that the
Emperor Napoleon has written to Victor Emmanuel,
strongly recommending him not to enter the
Roman States. The letter either came to hand
too late, or the soldier King defies the counsel of
his " brother the Emperor of the French."

FRANCE.

P ALTERING ITALIAN POLICY OF LOUIS

NAPOLEON.

The Constitlctionnel publishes an article by its
chief editor, M. Grandguillot, explaining the
policy followed by the Emperor in Italy. The
Constitutionnel says :—" The object of the French
Government in recalling its Ambassador from
Turin is to express its dissatisfaction at the course
which has been taken by Sardinia. Rut such a
disavowal is far from a rupture. The interests of
France and Sardinia, always coinciding, require
that Piedmont should remain the insurmountable
rampart of the Italian Peninsula. The legitimate
enlargement of her territory, which she owes to
our common victories and to the treaties, cannot
in any case be compromised." .

The substance of M. Thouvenel's note to Sar-
dinia, which preceded the call of Baron de
Talleyrand, was as follows :

" 1. That the invasion of the States of the
Church by Piedmont is an act contrary to the
law of nations.

" 2. That it is an act in direct opposition to all
the counsels of the French Government, and to
the present and traditional interests of French
policy.

" 3. That the responsibility for the consequences
must fall exclusively upon Piedmont." M. Thou-
venel concludes by assuring Piedmont that A.
tria is freed from her promise of non-intervention
by the fact of the invasion.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE PENDING

STRUGGLE IN ITALY.

VIENNA, Sept. la.

The Austrian Cabinet has announced to the
French Government that Austria, for her own
security, is about to concentrate a corps of
observation of 50,000 men at Mantua and on the
river Po, but that she has no intention of inter-
vening in the events resulting from the entry of
Sardinian troops into the Papal States.

VIENNA, Sept. 16.

On the occasion of the discussion of the
Budget in yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath,
it was resolved that after the expiration of
its present privileges the National Bank
should be emancipated from any connection
with the Government, and that special members
should be appointed for the reorganisation of the
bank. In the same sitting the proposal of the
Committee of the Public Debt for conversion of
the public funds into bonds of 5 per cent. was
rejected. The proposal to increase the amount
of direct taxation was also declared inadmissible.

frontier no Pontifical troops are to be found,
except the gendarmes. Sardinian troops
occupy Orvieto. Despatches received state
that the Maritime Roman Provinces and the
surrounding country have risen in insurrection.
Frosinone, the principal town of the province,
has also risen against the Papal Government.
Major Merode has set out to endeavour to crush
the revolutionary movement.
ROME (via Marseilles), Sept. 11.

The Papal Government will this evening com-
municate to the Assembly of the Cardinals the
answer which has been made to Count Minerva
as well as a diplomatic circular to be addressed to
the foreign Governments. The tricolour flag has
been hoisted at Tivoli, Geuzano, and Sulraco ; but
it is said that the people do not intend to support
the intended demonstration. Numerous agents,
however, are spreading agitation in the country
round Rome. M. Merode has returned from
Frosinone. Seven agitators have been arrested.
The alleged order of the day of General Lamori-
ciere, ordering pillage in case of insurrection, has
been denied.

PIEDMONT.

TURIN, Sept. 15.

The Italian journals express regret on account
of the recall of the French Ambassador from
Turin. The Diritlo says :—" We must rally
round the King in order to assist him in over-
coming the present difficulties." The other Turin
journals publish articles of a similar nature. The
Opinione says :—" Italy does not desire that the
responsibility of France for her actions should
be her shield. Great liberty of action is neca-
sary for our Government. Those states who are
in friendly relations need not, on that account, be
responsible one for another. The policy followed
by Sardinia is imposed upon our Government by
the state of things in the interior of the Peninsula."

NAPLES.

MARSEILLES, Sept. 15.

Letters from Naples to the 11th inst. state that
very ardent popular demonstrations were taking
place in that city. Many priests and monks had
fraternised with the people. A police regulation
prohibited the compelling of the inhabitants to
shout " Long live Garibaldi!" Numerous deser
tions were taking place from Gaeta, but the
greater part of the soldiers and sailors had taken
advantage of the Dictator's authorisation to return
.
to their homes. Enlistments of volunteers had
been ordered.
Liberio will be Pro-Dictator while Garibaldi is
attacking Lamoriciere.
Garibaldi has declared that he will soon pio-
claim the annexation of Naples to Piedmont from
the summit of the Quirinal, when all the Italians
will be united at one national banquet. The
Marquis of Bella had been sent on a special
mission to France. A reactionary movement,
attended by fatal conflicts, had taken place
at Ariano. A detachment of Garibaldians were
marching against that place.

PERUGIA AVENGED.-GEN. SCHMIDT
PRISONER.

TURIN, Sept. 15.
General Fanti entered Perugia yesterday.
The town was taken after a hot fight, which
was continued in all the streets.

The troops of the enemy withdrew into the
fortress, which surrendered towards evening.

Our troops made 1,600 prisoners, among whom
is General Schmidt, who ordered the late massacre
in that city.
Our losses are insignificant.

The following is the order of the day issued by
General Cialdini on taking the field :
" Soldiers of the 4th Corps—l am leading you
against a band of foreign adventurers, whom the
thirst for gold and desire of pillage have brought
into our country.

"Attack and disperse these miserable sicares
(cut throats) without mercy ; let your hand smite
them with the anger of a people which wishes its
nationality and independence.
" Soldiers ! Perugia cries aloud for vengeance.
Though late, she shall have it.

" General commanding the 4th corps, •
" CIALDLNI."
