ITALY.

The assertions of the Dresden Journal relative to
certain conditions with which the recognition of
Italy by Russia is said to have been accompanied, are
altogether at variance with M. Ratazzi's statement
to the Italian chamber. After the Italian minister
had announced the fact of the recognition to the
members on the 9th, M. Massari asked if
the ministry would place the correspondence before
the house. M. Ratazzi replied that the govern-
ment not only saw no difficulty in the way of pub-
lishing the whole of the diplomatic correspondence,
but that in its interest as in that of Italy it desired
to do so, and would do so the next day, in order to
destroy all the accusations and calumnies which its
enemies and the enemies of Italy had circulated
with reference to this matter, so that Europe
might oe that the recognition of Russia was such
as Italy can accept—that is to say, " without re-
serve or condition."

COCHIN CHINA.

The following is the latest French news from
Cochin China :

" A private letter of May 12 states that the
Forbin steam corvette had arrived at Saigon, from
Hue, with important despatches. The Forbin was
employed on a hydrographic mission at the month
of the river Hue, when, on nearing the great An-
namite fort which defends the right bank of that
stream, its commander perceived that the com-
mandant of the fort hung out a flag of
truce. He at once made for the shore, and
was met by a boat having on board an aide-de-
camp of the Emperor Tu Duc's prime minister,
who requested an interview for the next day.
The French commandant went to the rendezvous,
accompanied by his staff, and was entertained by
the minister at a magnificent breakfast. During
the reception, which was very cordial, the minister
declared that his master wished to put an end to
hostilities, and to live in peace with the French,
and he begged Admiral Bonard to be the bearer of
an autograph letter from the Emperor Tu Duc to
the Emperor of the French. It was thought at
Saigon that these overtures would be favourably
received. The state of affairs is very bad for the
Emperor Te Duo ; a great many revolts, occasioned
by famine, have broken out in his states, and he is
compelled to sue for peace to avoid a certain fall."
