FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

FRANCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday, September 4, 1860.
What a famous canard the affair of the
" lirenier indemnity " has been: The .21Inniteur
is so much shocked at the idea of the Emperor
having made the exactions attributed to him in
all the different papers, that it will not condescend

to contradict the abstird reports 'chi the subject.
The public are now officially advised that the
initiative in the affair was taken by the Neapolitan
GovernMent itself, and people are called upon to
take notice, that the King of Naples has acted
most handsomely on the occasion.
The last despatches from Naples come down to
Monday last, at which date " there was nothing
new." The troops. destined to cover the ap-
proaches to the capital were concentrated at
Salerno, at Naples, and at Gaeta. The annexa-
tion Committee was continuing to issue its orders
and proclamations throughout the whole king-
dom, and had sent agents to Ponte-Corvo, to raise
that town, which belongs to the Pope, and which
is included in Terra de Labour, a province of the
two Sicilies. Several ships of war have also
arrived, and cast anchor in the Bay, in order to
reinforce the Piedmontese squadron before Naples.
Nearly all the new arrivals have troops on
board belonging to the Sardinian army, which
are ready to be disembarked, .a circumstance
which completely confirms the account I gave
you in my last of the present proceedings of the
Sardinian Government.
It is thus seen that events are advancing apace
towards their final solution. At the present mo-
ment the whole of the western portion of the
kingdom, from. the Gulf of Tarento to the
Roman frontier, is lost to the royal authority.
Garibaldi is scarcely a day's march from the
capital, which only waits for his arrival, to pro-
nounce against the dynasty of the Bourbons. .As
for the young Bourbon himself,.he is still waver-
ing between an armed resistance and a quiet
departure, The Opinione of Turin affects to treat
as absurd the statements to which I referred yes-
terday, of a large armed force having been assem-
bled by that Government to take possession of
Naples, on its being evacuated, by Francis 11.
But it at the same time adds, that the course
which the Government will take must "depend
upon events ; but that it will, in any case, be
regulated by the wishes of the inhabitants."
A despatch from Turin, dated the 2nd, states
that Garibaldi was at that date moving on
Salerno; and a correspondent of the Presse writes
that great preparations are being made there by the
Neapolitans to resist him. "Legions" of soldiers
are being despatched thither from the capital by
rail, arid a large entrenched camp was being
formed; but whether the trenches were cut with
a view to subdue the malaria which was raging
on that unwholesome coast, or with a view to
repel the still more formidable attacks of
Garibaldi's legions, remains to be seen. It is
given out, however, in the meantime, that a great
coup is to be tried in this quarter, and General Von
Michel, Who coniniands the Bavarians, promised
before he left the presence of the King on
Saturday to proceed to Salerno, to give a good
account of the " infernal vagabonds." It will be
the last attempt at defence, you may rely upon it.
According to a statement in the Cologne
Gazette, Monseigneur Nardi, the Prefect of the
Papal Household, who is said to be charged
with a message from the Court of 'tome, to
obtain from Austria, in conjunction with the other
Catholic Powers, a guarantee for the possessions
of the Church, had arrived in that city. This
journal states that the Bishop has already
obtained the acquiescence of Austria and Spain
to this project, but the answer of France had not
yet arrived. It is added that the Pope was
extremely desirous for the assembling of a Euro-
pean Congress, in order to deliberate on the best
means, of carrying out such an arrangement. I
do not believe there is a particle of truth in this.
story, but I mention it as another instance of the
attempts that are being made in certain quarters
on our credulity.

If the statements in a recent correspondence
from Athens are to be credited, there is a
prospect of an immediate "rumpus" i.e., inter-
ruption of diplomatic negotiations between the
government of King Otho and that of the
Sultan. The language recently used by the
Grand Vizier to the Dragoman of the Hellenic
Legation at Constantinople, with reference to
certain proceedings of the Greek Government in
connection with the recent disturbances, has
been considered so insulting, that the Cabinet of
Athens has declared that unless it obtains satis-
faction it will withdraw its representative. No
one need be surprised at this occurrence, but its
ultimate importance will be regulated by the
amount of support which the Athenian Govern-
ment obtains from its stronger neighbours.
There has been another speech from M. do
Persigny, delivered on the-oeoasion of laying
of the foundation stone of a new
.church at
Roanne; and no little importance is attached by
the French Government to that .portion* of his
remarks which treated of the relations between
the Government and the Holy See. 'The Count
adopts and repeats the announcement recently
published, that the Emperor will confine himsilf
to the defence of the abode .of the " Head of
Catholicity ;" and will give- no aid, direct or
indirect, to Lamoriciere, in his attempts to pre-
serve the Roman States.

The Emperor and the
Empress have been
sailing on the Lake of Geneva, opposite the
magnificent coasts of Chablais. Whilst so occu-
pied his Majesty is stated to have had a long
conversation with the chief engineer of the depart-
ment and the representativeS of the proposed rail-
, way to Italy, which will become, in part, a French
line, in the course of which his Majesty was
greatly struck with the idea of having a, tunnel
constructed under the Alps,
by which a subterra-
nean passage of the Simplon might be accom-
plished in 25 minutes. If this project be-carried
out, the, passage of the Menai Straits will
me to allude to the
thenceforth, not be the greatest engineering
monument *in Europe.

IN ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin states that Garibaldi is
at six days' march from Naples. The Italian
journals remark that as Gaeta, though strongly
fortified on the land side, is open to an attack by
sea, it is not probable that Francis 11. will linger
there, as Garibaldi will soon have a formidable
navy under his command.

General Caldini, who commands the fourth
division of the army of Upper Italy, has trans-
ferred his head-quarters to rorli, in order to be
nearer to La Cattolica, the sell-linown strategical
point which ties within the Papal frontier.

General Lanioriciere has concentrated 5,000
men at MaCerata; and addressed an Order of the
day to the arms; annolincing that dti ilie day of
battle he would bring 50,000 men into the field.
The ultramontane journal Le Monde, publishes
a letter from Vienna, which states that Lord John
Russell has addressed a confidential note, advising
Count Cavour to abstain from any attack on
Venetia.

The Debats says that the fall of the King 'of
Naples will remove all cause of difference between
England and Austria. England will then proclaim
that the Mincio marks the limits of her sym-
pathies for the Italian cause.

The Count de Persigny has made another
speech, which tends to confirm the recent impres-
sion that the Emperor will do nothing more than
literally preserve the Pope's throne in the Vati-
can, and will not help Lamoriciere to keep the
Roman States.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Sept. 4.

Count Nadasdy, the Minister of Justice, who
has already twice tendered his resignation,
insists upon leaving the cabinet at the close of
the extrordinary session of the Riechsrath. His
retirement will bring about, if not a complete
change, at least essential modifications in the
present ministry. During his stay here Prince
Metternich has not ceased to urge the Govern-
ment to enter frankly upon liberal reforms,
which he stated to be the efficacious means to
establish the influence of Austria abroad.

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

VERONA, Sept. 4.

On account of the rapid progress of Garibaldi's
army in the kingdom of Naples, four batteries,
sent from Vienna, have been added to the great
artillery depot at this place. It is asserted that
the seventh and eighth Austrian corps d'arinee
have received orders to join, at the first summons,
the army of Venetia.
