THURSDAY, JUIY 12, 1860.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

The House of Commons yesterday was exclu-

sively occupied by the consideration in committee
of the Census Bill. Mr. Baines moved the
omission of the clause requiring the statement of
religious profession, and a smart debate followed,
in which the Nonconformists were taunted with
being afraid of the result. Lord Palmerston said
he could not understand on what tangible
grounds the Dissenters opposed the clause, now
that its fulfilment, without penalty, rested solely
on that voluntary principle on which they so

much prided themselves. Mr. Baines, at lengtk,
withdrew his opposition under protest, and the
clause as--amended was agreed to. The Irish
Census Rill then passed through committee, and
the House adjourned.
The telegrams of the evening speak mysteriously of
some insurrectionary movements having broken out in
the Papal States. As there is never smoke without
fire, the fact is significant in reference to the future ;
but, with the exception of this projected shadow of
troubles to come, there is a comparative lull in Italian
affairs. The Irish Papal Brigade has been creating
fresh disturbances, and the Pope must be puzzled what
to make of the Frankenstein which he has evoked.

Louis Napoleon is said to have one reeson, not
hitherto named, for not looking with especial favour
on the constituents of the small Papal army. The class
of French volunteers whose departure for Lamoriciere's
brigade is occasionally chronicled in legitimist papers is
exclusive, and hitherto confined to sons or grandsons, of
men who fought against the abolition of prerogative
and privileged castes in the old war of La Vendee.
Their hatred for free institutions is hereditary. The
peasants, who with.mistaken zeal aided the old squire-
archy in combating the principles of 1789, such as the
gallant Charette and the brave Cathelineau, have left
grandsons, who, under their new assumption of Comte de
Charette, and Baron Cathelineau are otf to the ranks of
the anti-popular legion. There is, however, ne Roche-
jaquelin in the Pope's livery, that name figuring now
among adherents of the French Empire. There are
many Bretons, whose fathers were chomails in 179 i, or
emigres, such as- landed at Quiheron or figured at
Coblentz. Lamoriciere's kindred were of that kidney.
the result of this snug gathering at Rome is that violent
abuse of Napoleon 111. is the order of the day in bar-
racks and at mess,•toists to Henry V., white cockades,
jibes against the Imperial eagle, and their country's
tricolour, the cut direct given to the garrison under
Goyon, and sundry overt acts, • duly reported
.to the
Emperor of Feance.
According to a Madrid journal, her Most Catholic
Majesty of Spain has subscribed a million francs to the
Papal loan. . .

The Paris correspondent of the G!obe says that the
one fact of the Castle of St. Elmo at Naples being gar-
risoned by Swiss and Bavarians.exclusively, and stored
with immense quantities of bombshells, is generally
regarded as conclusive evidence thiit treachery is medi-
tated by the Court of Naples.
Material aid has been forwarded from this port to
Garibaldi, and he needs evidently all the extraneous
assistance which can be forwarded, the Sicilians them-
selN CF., from their fickle and unwarlike character,.being
almost unworthy of their liberator. Palermo- '(says
the correspondent of the Mo►ning I:o3t) has, resumed
its original aspect, and all the butterflies of Sicilian
rank and fashion are once more fluttering in 'the sum-
mer sun. The nobles are driving about in their mag-
nificent equipages—their servants blazing in the richest
liveries—for these Palermitan nobles love to display
an almost Asiatic pomp. Their fine horses, which they
had kept concealed that they should not be taken by
Garibaldi, in the military requisition to that effect, figure
once more in the public drives of the English garden,
and of the Marina, every evening. In order to comply
with the terms of Garitialdi's -requisition, they have
bought from the vetturini, and from the peakants, the
worst hacks they could find—thus evading, as far as pos •
sible, every sacrifice for their country. Garibaldi con-
tinues to be extremely vexed and annoyed at the apathy
of the Sicilians, who regard with such indifference the
pressing dangers by which their lives, and fortunes, and
iberties, are perpetually menaced.' Tatimptylt-t* thx,

like effect, it wilhhejetQatiolik.hisi been invariably
borne by the special' itrieSiona.elit:O'f' the London Times.
The lull in hall atairs tomes the disturbances in
Sylla; stand out :jstill *Ore likettninently ; and, in the
presence of other fiicts, we are perAexed to account for
thetelegrdm from Paris, whieh:'lstates that the French
Cabinet has decide!! that the commanders of the men-of-
war sent to Syria shall abstain from all intervention, and
confine themselves to protecting' he French Consttls, and
to offering refuge to all Christian's wheo'niight apply for it.
Why, we leatn from an excellent source, that the
French brigade' preparing- for embarkatidir at' Toulon
will be 4;000 strong ; and froni. our own Paris corres-
pondent's letter,. it will be. Ken that there are five large..
transports at Marseilles aftiting the emliarkatioii of a
body of troops to take part in, the French operations on
the Syrian coast.
The ships of her Majesty which have left' Ma4ta for
Beyrout
.arethe.Orion and Marlborough.
By circular -of the French board of customs duties
and indirect taxes, • a whole series of troublesome and
partly expensive formalities, burdening the transit trade
through France; have been partly abolished, partly
Modified.
The Belgian Senate has adopted, by a great-majority,
the first article of the bill declaring that all octroi duties
shall be abolished throughout the country, and cannot
be re=established. -
A letter from Berlin states that the question of the
establishment of a Prussian military port in the Baltic
has just been -settled. The Isle of Rugen is fixed on,
and the iorks of the port, which is to be formed in the
Bay of Basmund,' will 'be commenced during the present
year. .
An Ostend- letter states that the Prince Regent of
Prussia will arrive there in the beginning of August)
and 'remain till the arrival of Queen Victoria,. who is
expected towards September, on her way to Berlin, to
be present at the baptism of her new grandchild, Whose
birth will probably take place during the Present month.
The Prince Regent has engaged for the season the whole
of a sumptnons hotel on the Grand Place.
It will be observed that our Paris correspondent
reports most favourably of the state of the' crops in
Flanders.

•
The Right Rev. Dr. Colenso, who was appointed in
1863 the first bishop ol'Satil, has intimated:.his inten-
tion of resigning his episcopal see for the- purpose of
proceeding as a missionary to the country of the Zulus,
in order to plant the Gospel There. To 'd 'meeting of the
Society for the Propagation, of the "Gospel in toreign
Parts,held under the presidency of the Archbishop of
Canteibdry, this communication has been made, and it
has been resolved that the society. will undertake to pro-
vide. the bishop with• certain minis he has asked for—
namely, .L5OO for the bishop's
,salaryi for the
salaries of Missionaries-, and £l,OOO for building pur-
poses. The bishop hiving made a ennilar.comnaunica-
tion to the Society for Promoting Christian. Knowledge,
the standing committee have given notice that they will
recommend, at a meeting- to be held .in October, that
£l,OOO be placed at the disposal-of the bishop for gene-
ral purposes in Zulu Land, should his lordship be
enabled to carry his,, plan, into effect in a satisfactory
manner.

The " Constitutional- Defence Committee for the
Northern and Midland Counties " met in Manchester on
Tuesday, and passed re'sol'utions declaring that the House
of Conimens will " betray its constituents " if it should
refrain from asserting its „rights and privileges, and that
" no man will be worthy of the confidence of any Liberal
constituency in future who shall, on the present occasion,
prove unfaithful 'to the trust reposed in him.". Lord
Palmerston' was, of 'course, bev.etely assailed for his
speech on Thursday night, and Mr. Itorsman *as
politely described by one gentleman as "the treacherous
wretch who says he represents Stroud."
Lotiis Napoleon, it appears,. deeply impressed, as of
course he"must be,. with. the result of the volunteer
movement in this country, is said to have authorised
the formation of a :Stational Rifle Association like that
in England. It is' to be "placed under the direction of
Jules Gerard, the lion-}filler, who
.judgi,pg from- his

narrative .of adventures in Algeria, is uncommonly
.skilled in 'drawing .the long _bow. .
The Swiss _riflemen who contested for the prizes at -
Wimbledon, in a beautiful and admirably-written letter
to the Tinzes, express their gratitude for the great kind-
ness which they haVe experienced in England. They
farther say
The efforts which are being made in England to
frganise a system of volunteers armed with rifles have
already borne their fruit; for this rifle match, although
the firtit English national movement of the kind, has
afforded us a model of organisation which we shall
henceforth endeavour to imitate. We have had an oppor-
tunity of admiring the excellence of English rifles, and the
skill displayed by riflemen in shooting at great distances,
which, owing to the absence of extensive plains in our
country, we have hitherto been unable-to, practise: We
shall, however, endeavour to introduce these improve-
ments at home, and by degrees we hope.we may attain
to the same perfection in our rises, and accomplish the
same practical results, which the rifle match at Wim-
bledon for the first time made us acquainted with.
We shall tell our fellow-citizens of the welcome and
sympathy which the mere name of Swiss obtained for
us. There is no period in our history when that sym-
pathy could have been more precious. to our Qountry,
and now more' than ever do we unite in eipreising itt
one and' he' same breath onr best wishes for 'Witzer-
land, our native land, and our best wishes for England ;
land in doing so we know that we utter the sentiments
`lliared in by one and all of our countrymen.
Whilst on the subject of riflemen, we should wish to
drect attention to the official notification which will be
Mind in another part of our paper with respect to
tii arrangements for the grand review of our local corps
at Aintree, on Saturday next; We gather that there
wil be a muster of nearly 4,000 men ander arms,
an. the spectacle cannot fail 'to be of a most interest-
and imposing character.
City of Washington brings us later from the
Voted States. The Great Eastern, at New York, it
wil be seenrhas been placed in a position of sore peril.

HORSE RAILWAYS.
'Ve - •10

G/ORGE FRANCIS TRAIN is one of the most active
am enterprising spirits of the age. This is no
sm.ll compliment to one living in the same epoch
wits Louis NAPOLEON', GARIBALDI, and JA-MES
RE'DECLIFFE JEFFERY, of Compton House. In
pamphleteering, Mr. !'RAIN is scarcely behind MM.
DELA GUERRONIERE, ABOUT, et id getiMs:bmne.
Its already quite manifest that Mr: TRAIN, like
Lais NAtottoN, has a great destiny—but one,
fotunately, of a more pacific tendency than the
cor*tural destiny of the French Emperor—yet
boil are so far alike that they have a very direct
and revolutionary *reference to the streets 'of
Lorton. Louis NAPOLEON'S suppose.d fate is to
die.n the streets of London, amid tumbling ruins
ani shouts of victory'. Change the allusion to dying
illb one of living,
.and fur tumult andruins sub-
stiute quietness and order, andwe may predicate
th. same fate for Mr. TRAIN. Hig.namo will become
immortal in the streets of the metropolis, as it shall
for ever shine in goldenletters from the pannellings
of tie gay city railway car, which it is his manifest,
destiny to introduce into the intricacies of that
grettlabyrinth of streets, to the-permanent relief
of the present disorderly traffic, and to the
personal and pecuniary adVantage of its teeming
thousands. Mr. TRAIN wisely begins with the
provincial cities and towns, but naturally looks
to'-Yards London as the great goal where his
skill and enterprise shall be finally crowned with
unequivocal success. For Birkenhead and Liver-
p)ol is reserved the honourable distinction of
being the first 'in''. Europe to give " a local
habitation and, :a name" to this great practical
invention, and iMprOvement, the honour ..of in-
troducing which -into this country so eminently
belongs to Mr. TRAIN. Liverpool, howev.er, must
lose no time in loooking to its laurels if it is to realise
this hope, for already other great towns---cities,
we should say,—such as Manchester, Glasgow, 'and
Dublin, are in treaty with Mr. TRAIN for the
adoption of his plans. Liverpool has already done
much to distinguish itself as a leader in the
progresS.-of commerce and of. social and sanitary
science, and why should
_it not add this other
laurel to the municipal' brow ? Whether addi-
tional requisites may be necessary, We cannot .but
agree with Mr: TRAIN that if Liverpool shall
really prove to be the first great town_in Europe
to introduce successfully street railways into its
narrow and densely crowded thoroughfares, it
will have made a' vast stride towards perfecting-
its right to be propltrecj tn.rti 1114At4lv c2fo"tibao.tati*

. .
Mr. TBS.r.s lias no great cause to grumble, and
we knovi lie does not, merely because there are a
great many of Our good townsmen s tift very sceptical
abotit the value of street rail Ways generally,
andespecia llyin Liverpool: He knows that we are
. , .
an earnest, 'natter-Of-feet gait of peoples little
given to experiments and profoundly jealous of
" facts " which have been demonstrated only in
America.
_He.must, therefore, be prepared for,
and determined to withstand, a great deal of
indifference, delay, opposition, and contempt, all
springing out of ignorance or self-interest, before
he finally triumph here or eiseWliere. Cif His
ultimate success there can be no matter of doubt
with competent judges. We have now our own
able and experienced Borough Engineer's opinion,
expressed officially; with reference to the pro-
priety of constructing Horse Railways in Liver-
pool: This is the coneliisionWhiCh Mr. kEWLANDs
arrives at in his long and luminons report s==" So
far as the traffic, therefore, is concerned, I see
no difficulty in the way of introducing horse-
railroads Their advantages are proved to
have been great, and the evils attending them
few, even under systems of monopoly and
mismanagement ; and the evils; I believe,
to &long simply to malconstruction, and may be
easily avoided." Nothing could be more UtlQuali-
fied or conclusive. The next practical step
devolves upon Messrs. JOHNSON, BOwRING,
RIDLEY, CLINT, KITCHEN, CRELLIN, and SHUT-
TLEwORTII, the sub-committee, who have to give
to the world their deliverance upon our engineer's
report. 'Who can doubt the result Time, how-
ever, is precious, and. *e are hopeful that there
will be no avoidable &illy. In September the
, Birkenhead Street Railway, under 'Mr. TRAIV's
direction, will be in operation. How long will
Liverpool be behind the township in taking
decided steps for the adoption of this great.
pradtical iniprovenient in our thoroughfares ? If
the eVideiice already brought_ forward is in-
sufficient to satisfy . the wembers of the
Corporation, we know nothing that will
convince them until they find Themselves
eclipsed and left behind by other towns ; thus
losing a golden opportunity for enviable distinc-
tion, besides incurring the odium of being deft;
cient inthe'spirit of progress and enterprise. Of
this dismal alternative, however, we entertain no
fear. We only wait " a judgment" that we may
proceed to action. ,
. _

In- the absence of correct information there
exist the most absurd and ridiculous notions as
to what a city railway and railway car really are.
Some imagine with horror that it is contemplated
to have long lines of Carriages, and a shrieking
steam locomotive engine whirling through our
crowded streets ; aiid others fancy that it is
intended to have stationary engines planted here
and there—say at the top of Lee Ce-street, Low-hill,
Everton, High Park-terrace, 8:c. Nothing could_
be more out of the way. A glance at the litho-
graphed frontispiece to the second edition of Mr.
TRAIN'S " Observations, &c.," published vester-
day, will satisfy any one that the City Railway Car
will• be esteemed one of the most elegant and
ornamental, as well as one of the Most safe,
swift, arid commodious vehicles to be desired in
our streets. What 'a contrast does this sketch
present to the small jolting rumbles, called omni •
buses, which have been eliciting our pity and
sympathy for their densely-packed inmates, as we
have seen them tumbling along our hot streets,
during the last te* days, at something like snail's
pace. To say that the City Railway car is as
much superior to the .omnibus, as a first-class
railway carriage is to the old-fashioned stage
-coach of a hundred years ago, is nothing. It is
much more. The difference approaches more nearly
to that Which exists between the Crystal Palace
and a penny caravan ; because in respect of
ease, light, space, speed, and convenience, a
properly constructed city railway car is perfection
itself, and, of course, not to be excelled. This,
then, is the boon Mr. TRA/Y is determined, if the
Corporation- will let him, to confer -Up= Liver-
pool, and through Liverpool upon the Empire
and upon Europe. Mr. TRAIN likens the result'
of his past efforts in this country, to an egg being
hatched, which will shortly be chipped at great
.cost and labour to himself. We quite concur

with him in hoping that he will be able tp pre-
vent his chicken (as is too frequently the case
with valuable inventions) from becoming some:
body else's hen
,!

AGENTS OF

GARIBALDI IN LIVERPOOL.

We violate no confidence in stating, as we are
enabled to do, that the patriotic Dictator of
Sicily has through his agents here, been success-
ful in negotiating the purchase of some noble
vessels for the flotilla which ho is forming.
According to the letter of our Paris correspon-
dent, two of these have already sailed. There can
be no hesitation in now stating that one of these is
the City of Aberdeen paddle-wheel steamer ; and
others, if not yet gone, may be shortly upon
the way. The last purchase of the kind, which
was effected yesterday, is that of a magnificent
screw-steamer of about 1,500 tons, built upon
lines designed to combine speed and carrying
capacity, and which is considered -by competent
surveyors to be well adapted to carry the heavy
armament of a steam sloop of war. As a troop or
passenger- ship she has few equals, having a full
poop 80 feet long, and 'twist decks 6 feet 4 inches
clear in height, and ventilated throughout. Her
engines are oscillators ; cylinders 63 inches dia-
meter, 300-horse nominal power, but capable of
working up to 750 horses, with all moder n improve-
ments, and which are now, with her boilers, -in
thorough sea-going order. The screw being fitted
with lifting apparatus, she combines the advan-
tages of a full-powered steamer with these. of a
fast-sailing clipper vessel. She was bought,..we.
believe, with ample • stores, which include cabin
and other requisites for a large number of passen-
ger. Her name, of course, is prudentially re-
served for the present. The money for her pur-
chase is already in hand, and the necessary papers
will be completed to-day.
Garibaldi's agents here arc in possession of ample
means ; and we are not surprised, therefore, that
their attention should have been directed to an
inspection of the stock of arms and other warlike
munitions with which some of the warehouses of
our large wholesale exporters abound. They are
said to have especially admired a stock of 23,000
rifles; of the Val& of about 355. each. Materials
for a siege train, with heavy guns of modern
manufacture, seem au object of solicitude; hut of
course no purchases have been effected----for are ,
not these all contraband of war ?
We may be at-liberty to supply some substan-
tial particulars, and .of. the most interesting
character, within the next few days.

VOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

(From our oum Corresison4inQ

PARIS, Tuesday Evening, July 10, 18e0,

The Prince Napoleon has found it necessary to
go to St. Cloud, and assure the Emperor, in
person, of his having had no hand in the recent
article id the Opinion Nationale, which was
said to e *minded the just susceptibilities"
of the other members of the friiperial family.
His Imperial Highness is reported to have shetvhi
Inch- emotion at this interview, and to have
expressed himself most becomingly with reference
to his recent bereavement. It is positively
asserted, however, that " Madame Bonaparte
Paterson,'' as she styles herself, by a sort of com-
promise, at 'Erie *ring of the repositories of the
deceased Prince, caused a forrhai intiMation to
be made to the persons assembled, that she
-intended to take all necessary steps to enforce
her. legal rights, and preserve for her children
the name of " Bonaparte." Counsel has been
instructed accordingly to attend to her rights
before the legal tribunals. I doubt not, how-
ever, that adthe means 'Dill be found without
much difficulty of quieting tills ladyi and getting
rid of claims, which however well founded in
natural justice, are too awkward and troublesome
to be permitted to be ventilated in public. She

The Imperial Decree, Nvhich was signed by the
Enipercii t Foritaineblean On the 6th, ordaining
the promulgation of the twelfth tirade Which has
been added to the Commercial Treaty between
France and England, appears in this day's Moni-
tenr : as do also sundry promotions in the higher
grades of the French navy : the latter are made
doubtless with reference to the naval operations
on the coast of Syria, as to which I should advise
year readers not to believe all they may hear
leading to the supposition that they are to be
confined to acts of a non-offensive character. It
is obvious that nothing is More natural, or more
in liarniony With the crafty policy of Napoleon
111., than for his ;~hr jesty to attempt to luil sus-
picions as to the real flatus. .1' instructions
which the Syrian squadron has received, by pre-
ceding its departure with a proclamation couched
in the language of pure disinterestedness, of
which, when the occasion serves, he can display
so remarkable a command. Several English men-
of-war have already been collected in BeSika Bay,
and have, it is under-SW(ld, received orders to
proceed at the same time, and in at least equal
force, to the same points on the -Syrian '.coast,
with the French squadron; but it is now cur-
rently rumoured that five large sailing transports
are kept in
_readiness at Marseilles, for the pur-
pose of conveying a considerable body of French
troops to Syria, should their services be required.
Also, that it has been decided by the French
Government, should the disorders in that quarter
cthitintiel to take military possession of Deid-el-
Kamar, the residence of the chief of the Druses,.
and bring him to his senses. Is England pre-
pared to send an equal body of land forces on the
same errand ? If "not, it is not easy to see how
France can be prevented from taking the lead as
usual; and probably keeping it. Meanwhile, the
Sultan has despatched considerable reinforce-
ments from Constantinople, to endeavour to
restore his anthority in these regions. It is high
time, for it is the general opinion here, that if the
Porte be on this occasion beholden to foreigners
for the restoration of order in its own dominions,
" the game is up," and the crescent finally disap-
pears from the horizon of European politics.
A very important step has just been taken by
the French Government with reference to the
commercial interests of Algeria. It appears "that
hitherto, owing to the existence of excessive pro-
hibitive duties in Algeria, it has been the custom of
the caravans bringing merchandise from the fertile
districts of the interior of Africa, to take the
direction east and west of Tunis, Tripoli, and
Morocco, where they find a market for their
goods,. and exchange_ them for the products of
Europe in Mahometan countries ; • a very cumber
some method of- carrying on business certainly.
The French Government has become sensible of
the evils of its present system of :cloualia in this
respect, and the consequence is, a decree striking

off, at one blow, the whole of the farmer prohibi-
tory duties, and admitting free, all the productions
of the countries alluded to, whether natural or
manufactured, into its Algerine provinces. This
measure, if seconded as it ought to be, by private
enterprise, is manifestly fraught with most ma-
terial benefit to the colony. _ .

A statement is published here to-day, giving
information respecting the strength of the
garrison of Messina, and of the number of men
whom Garibaldi has at his disposal for the attack
of that fortress. It is said, that the number of
Royal troops in position in and within six
leagues of the fortress, is 26,000, including
cavalry and artillery. The private corespondent
of the Nouvelliste of Marseilles declares that
these are
.all very fine troops, and that they
appear determined to avenge the defeat which
was. inflicted on
.them at Palermo, but that they
are, as on that occasion, excessively ill-generalled.
The,€ame correspondent adds, that Garibaldi, by
the latest accounts, had with him 16,000 excellent
troops, besides about 20,000 of the peasantry. If
this be so, -depeni upon it, His Excellency will
give
.a very good account of his foes, and after
doing-so, his next move will be, I have no doubt,
an advance upon Naples itself. The official
journal of Sicily publishes a variety of decrees
which have been issued by the Government of
the Dictator, _some of which you have no doubt
seen. By one of them, a Palace Guard is esta-
blished, to do duty at the Dictatorial Palace, and
to act as a body guard to Garibaldi. It is stated
that this establishment has been formed at " the
reiterated request of a great many good citizens
who have prepared and assisted in the regenera-
tion of Sicily." Some of the highest personan'es
m the island have accepted commissions in the
corps. The.rournal des Debats harps as usual upon
the difficulties with which Garibaldi has to contend
in his attempts to perfect the civil and spiritual
organisation of the island. M. Weiss, who is the
writer of these articles; has evidently no great
sympathy with the Sicilian cause. He states that
an astonishing want of order has " seized upon

the bourgeoise of Sicily," and insinuates that
already a reaction has set in. He also invites the
,public to believe that the eagerness with which so
many of.. b
t•-tc. Neapolitan refugees. in Piedmont
have taken advantage of the general amnesty, and
applied- for, ,their passports, is, a ,proof 9f the
Intended adhesion of most :of them to the new
ieginte; an impression which tdthink is
the very reverse of the true. one. •
At the Same time, all the more recent-accounts
from Palermo unite to forbid. the conclusion
that there is any diminution of the administra-
tive difficulties surrounding Garibaldi. Crispi,
who formerly. acted as his secretary, has made
himself specially obnoxious by having ordered'
certain regulations to be put in force, which
would have affected some of the most eminent
and distinguished personages in the island ; and
he was, moreover, accused by the deputation ap-
pointed by the people to demand the dismissal of
the Ministry, of having filled up most of the local
appointments with unknown men and foreigners,
to the exclusion of natives. Garibaldi was most
anxious to retain his ancient comrade, but was
forced to yield to the popular wish. He, how-
ever, positively refused to reinstate Torrearsa
and de Pisani, and on this point the deputation
were obliged to give way.
In Naples, tranquillity is, in the meantime,
dependent entirely on the amount of confidence
which can be inspired by the new advisas of the
King. If Francis 11. shall succeed in getting one
or two respectable men to serve him, who are trust-
worthy, affair Sin his capitalmay possibly he patched
only for a time. The army,
up for a time—but
according to a usually well-informed correspondent
of a French journal, appears at present to consti-
tute the greatest.danger to public tranquility and
to the dynasty. The Swiss assembled atPortici,
under the command of Von Mechel, are exas-
perating the population. Their officers confess
that they can no longer control them. . "If an
insurrection is thus provoked," says this writer,
"with its train of pillage, bombardment, &c., we
shall have Garibaldi, and Italy will be -made."
