disturbance. A dense crowd the bal-
cony of Signor Peruzzi with a B,ffitional flag and
cried out, "Down with Peruzzi; dowhinth the minis-
ters." From Peruzzi's house the went to the
Hotel Feder, where Marquis P; ."P • taken
apartments, and repeated the same %
, gluon-
stration wainst the cousin of Louis who
seemed, ey considered, the true ne.. . S, the
conventions. Marquis Pepoli was at :`.."l‘7attfl
proved hinlite/f a very plucky fellow indeed; . he
laughed at the. threats and hisses of the delion-
strators. Another more important demonstration
is announced for this evening, and if it really takes
place it must be more, noisy than that I witnessed
last evening. To give you an idea of the exaspera-
tion of men's minds here, I will tell you that to-
day, at 2 o'clock, General Menabrea, one of the
negotiators of the convention, was passing with a %.
friend through Carlo Albert-street. On his being
recognised by a crowd of gentlemen standing at a
call, where stockbrokers meet, he was insulted and
hissed. I heard myself the words of " traitor witi
renegade" applied to his exoellency. Now you will pro-
bably ask me whether I think the Twinese will come
to blows and run the risk of a revolution. This I
am unable to state, nor am I willing to give an
opinion of my own on this subject. I only say that
the siteseitia is really a threatening one, because
for the large population of Turin the abrupt transfer
of the capital is tantamount to ruin. From the high
prices booms fetched three days ago they will go
down below the half of their value. It is calculated
that by this unexpected decision of the Italian go-
vernment the loss of Turin will be not less than
7,000,0001. of English money. Machiavelli said,
"Kill a man, but do not put your hand is his
pocket"
As I foresaw yesterday, the three Piedmontese
gentlemen to whom Signor Minghetti had offered a
seat in his cabinet have all refused. This refusal is
more important when we consider that a high
influence has been broughtto bear in order to induce
Signors Lanza, Sella, and General Pettit* to accept
office. But all was of no avail. What to-mor-
row may bring I 11411 unable to say, but I will sum
up all the impressions of these two days in a short
sentence—ltaly has never found herself in such a
dangerous position since the beginning of her na-
tional struggle of 1869. Mar God help her ! This,
I am certain, will be the wish of every true Eng-
lishman, and is mine. In the midst of this tur-
moil a consolatory anti striking fact is to be noticed.
The name of the King has never been mixed up in
the warm discussions of these last few days, and if
mentioned at all, it has been always mentioned with
devotion and respect.

Earl Granville arrived here yesterday, and will
leave Turin this evening for Bologna.

P.O. 7 o'clock p.m.—The excitement of the po-
pulation is still increasing. A charge was made,
at four o'clock, by a force of policemen with
drawn swords, but happily no one was
wounded. This act increased the wrath of the
people against the police. Whilst lam writing
this force baa been withdrawn, and bersaglieri sad
sent to bold the different pmts.
rh:rldr Albert•square, Piazza d'Arme, and other
places are swarming with anxious end excited
crowds.
