LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ITALY.

The Movintento of Genoa says :

" The Deputies, Mordini, Crispi, and Miceli,
have returned from Caprera. They are the
bearers of a letter from General Garibaldi to the
Italian liberal associations, which are to be repre-
sented at the general assembly on the 9th March."
The following is the letter in question, addressed
" to the Committees of Provvidemeuto and to all
the Italian patriotic associations," as published by
the Dirittu :

Caprera, Feb. 17..

. .
The meeting of the 9th March next may produce the
best result., if all the Italian liberal associations are there
represented. I therefore think it necessary that they should
all send delegates to it. Convinced as lam that all the
acts of assembly will be worthy of the practical good sense
which distinguishes the Italians, and that the conclusions
it may come to will respond to the legitimate expectation
of the serious (deeds of liberty and to the wants of the
country, I abstain from any recommendations. With the
programme which led us to Palermo and to Naples, and
with the great primnples of the Plebiscite of the 21st of
October, 1860, the Italian revolution may be gloriously
aocompliehed. If particular circumstances do not prevent
me, I shall visit Genes on the 9th March, sad if I cannot,
I shall here await the news of a result on which I may
congratulate myself as an Italian. Salutation end fra-
ternity. J. GAILBALDL
A Naples letter of the 19th says :
The direction of the ecclesiastical treasury of Naples
having given instructions for taking possession of the con-
vents which have been abolished, the inventories of their
property have been proceeded with during the last few days
by delegates named ad hoc, in the presence of municipal
assessors and magistrates. Fourteen religious com-
munities of the city of Naples did not oppose
the taking of the inventory; one alone, the Con-
vent of Donna Reline, resisted. When, after the
preliminary intimations, the commission of the Frahm
quarter presented itself, the door of the Donna Moline ersa
found closed, and was obliged to be broken open. The ab-
bess, in opposing the entry, said that she was only acting In
conformity with the prescriptions of Mgr. Lipeldi, Vicar of
the Cardinal of Naples, and she made pro Awned her pro-
test. It is well to mention that in this circumstance the
. . . . . . .

employment of foils rained scruples in the minds of some of
the municipal authorities, but the people were not in any
way moved. However, the Abbess of Donna Rejina,
after this first act of resistance, lent herself with a good
peas to all the formalities required by the law, preesating '
the registers of the community, and giving all the informa-
tion demanded, so that the inventory was completed
yesterday without any [rob incident. Everywhere else
the operation proceeded without obstacle. According to
approximative estimates the value of the lands belonging
to the Neapolitan convents amounts to 255 millions of
francs, which, when private property, will become of three
times that value. It is hoped that the sale will take plans
as soca as parliament shall have divided the whole into
moderate lots.

FRANCE.

The Indipandance Beige observes :

The letter of General de Montauban to the Emperor.
his Majesty's reply, and the insertion of both documents
in the Moniker, form the chief topic of conversation ►t
Paris. The imperial letter has placed the Legislative
Body in the most painful and delicate position. It has
been placed in the alternative of ceding, by making devo-
tion take precedence of independence at the bidding el
the head of the state, or of persisting in its opposition
and upholding the dignity of the Assembly at the risk of
exciting ► discontent not willingly met on the benches of the
Chamber. The Paris journals are just as much embarrassed
as the deputies will be, and most of them restrict them-
solves to reproducing the two letters without a line of coal-
meat, which is the more strange, as the publication of
those documents has caused the most profound sensation in
every circle at Paris.
