ITALY.

The Gazette de France has received a letter from
Rome, which gravely makes the following absurd
announcement : . _

Emmanuel, on his way. to Naples, is to mysteriously enter
Rome, slip disguised into the Church of Bt. Peter during
the service of Holy Thursday, and, at a given moment, re.
veal himself ; the Garibaldion regiment, scattered about in
strategical disorder, would then proclaim him ; poignanls
would be raised, sod the Bing of Italy carried to the Capitol.
It would only be :Floe of what had taken place at

stealthily removed the bolts.
The extreme Left of the Italian Chamber of De-
puties has published a "memorandum" about the
state of the Southern provinces, pointing out,
among other things, the necessity of sending Gene-
ral Garibaldi thither. Among the signatures to
this document we find those of Aurelio kWh, Mor-
dint, and Crispi.
Advices from Venice state that the recruitment
for the year has terminated, having passed off with-
out the slightest difficulty. The number of deserters
who have passed into Piedmont is thought to
amount to about a tenth of the contingent.

The following is from the summary of the Ow-
land China Mail of March 15 :
The London mail of January 27 arrived here on the 12th
instant.
The interns/ state of the Chinese empire, and the attitude
of foreign mitosis with regard to the belligerents in the
domestic war which bag continued torso many years to deso-
late the central provinces of this country, will, it is now evi-
dent, be the chief subjects of interest hers for many months
to come. The step deliberately taken by the allied naval
sod niilitary commauders, of protecting Shanghae, is gra-
dually leading us on to actual hostilities with the Taepiog
rebels, and it is now pretty well ascertained that there exists
among these people a party strongly in favour of turning
their arms *gaunt foreigners. From all we can learn, how-
ever, such a step has not exactly been determined upon by
tie higher leaders of this movement. The necessity for
mere subsistence has a good deal to do with the movements
ef the Taeping soldiers, that baying hitherto, so far as we
can judge, formed their only motives of action. It is true
that flashy promulgations hove been issued by the rebel
loaders, setting forth their own greatness and their preten-
Ekes to divinity ; but these pretensions have not been st all
supported by a display either of military or administrative
genius. The English admiral has been keeping down his
restless spirit during the past fortught by short excursions
up and down the Woogpoo river (on which Shanghai:l is
situated) in search of rebel forces. These were discovered
