ITALY.

TURD, Jos' 24.

The letter of Crispi, denying the rumour that
Garibaldi had resigned the presidency of the Eman-
cipation Society, declares that a perfect understand-
ing exists between Garibaldi and the association.

The Monarchic Nazionale of to-day announces
that the University of Pavia has been closed.

A letter from Florence in the Italia announces
under reserve the evacuation of the province of
Viterbo by the French troops.

DENMARK AND AMERICA.
COPENHAGEN, Jums 24.
The intelligence telegraphed to this capital of the
aooeptation by Denmark of all the negro slaves in
America is now reduced to the following propo-
sition :—Denmark has offered to convey 3,000 slaves
who have lost their masters to the sugar plantations
in the island of St. Croix, and to employ them
there upon the same terms as the free negroes.

The third and last volume of "The Voyage of
the Novara round the World" has just appeared. The work,
which is by Dr. Charles you Schemer, a member of the ex-
pedition, °retains information relative to Australia, New
Zealand, and Otaheite.

The Imperial Theatre at Vienna has just decided
on adopting the French diapason. Notice has been given
to the musicians of the orcheeles to have the necessary
modification effected in their iastrumests by the lst of
October.
The establishment of Frascati, at Havre, had a
narrow escape two nights ago of befog destroyed by fire.
About 3 o'clock, ace of the persons belonging to the baths
discovered that the southern part of the western wing was
on fire, and before the flames could be got under the read-
ing and dining rooms were completely destroyed.
Accounts from Alexandria announce that the
Egyptian cotton crop for the present year is estimated at
700,000 quintals. The cotton crop for the year 1861 was
calculated at 600,000 quintals, of which the four•fifths were
exported to England sod the remainder to the continent of
Europe.
" •

Amounts from Lyons state that the crops are in
general not lees abundant in the department of the Rhone
than in the neighbouring departments. The wheat gelds
which had been laid by the recent storms and rain ludegain
risen, and they we rapidly approaching maturity. Wheat,
rye, oats, and barley promise sot only plenty of grain, but
an abundance of straw. There has been a good average crop
of rape and bay. All the green crops are luxuriant, in con.
sequenoe of the late rain. The meadow. were mown early
in the salmon, and there is now a heavy crop of after-grass.
The vise, however, promises to be the most abundant of all
the erope. It will enrich the winegrowers if it be not in-
jured by bail. The quantity and the development of the
grapes are described sa marvellous. Some of the grapes are
already larger than a pee. It is expected that they will
begin to tipsy in July, and that the vintage will probably
eommesoe Were the end of August.

There is immense excitement at Toulon in
consequence of the preparations for the Mexican
expedition. One of the local papers, assuming that
war, no matter for what purpose, is a subject for
congratulation, exclaims joyfully, We are in as
great a bustle now as in the good old times of the
Crimean and Italian campaigns."

It is confirmed that Admiral Jurien de l
Gravibre, who was at one time thought to have
been recalled in disgrace, is to go out again as
admiral of the fleet. Captain Roze, now com-
mandant at Vera Cruz, will be his first officer.
The rumour that the French army has retired as
far as Orizaba, there to form a basis of operations,
is but faintly denied. The Patric " does not know
whether that may be so or not," but it knows from
private information that up to May 14 General de
Lerencez was still at Amozoc, "strongly en-
trenched and well provisioned." It, moreover,
" thinks it probable" that, before deciding on any
course, he would have waited for General Douai,
who with 400 men arrived at Vera Cruz on the
19th May.

The debate on the affairs of Mexico has not come
on to-day. The Corps Legislatif was occupied with
the new taxes—those on sugar, stamps, and car-
riages—which were criticised, but will be certainly
voted.

The government journals contradict the state-
ment of the Iberia of Madrid, that M. Barrot has
presented a serious note to the Spanish cabinet on
the affairs of Mexico. There have been numerous
verbal explanations, but • diplomatic rupture is
not at all likely.
The Bourse opened very quietly at Saturday's
prices, which even gave way a little, but in the
afternoon there was a sudden upward movement,
the cause fur which is unexplained. Route rose
15c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at
68fr. 45c. and bflfr. 50c. Mobilier role Bfr. 75c.,
and the Italian Loan 20c. The improvement in
railways was not proportionably great ; Orleans
rose Mr. 750. ; Lyons, 6fr. 25c. ; and Southern,
2fr. 50c. ; there was little change in the other lines.
If, as I dare say they do, our French friends in

London complain of the English climate, you may
safely assure them that they lose nothing by not
being in Paris during this month of June. The
longest day is past, and we have had nothing for
weeks but cold rain and leaden skim. Sensible
people put on great coats and light good fires.
Musard's concerts are often closed for want of an
audience, and the isle on the Bois de Boulogne
lake is deserted.
