PARIS, THULYDAY EVENING.

The Anglophobista were very unwilling to give
up their belief in the alleged fact that Garibaldi
bad crossed to Melito in an English vessel. This
morning the Moniteur itself puts the saddle on the
right horse, by stating that the vessel was the
General Abbatucci, belonging to the French Valery
Company, adding that this steamer had been for-
cibly detained for two days in Catania. We know
also upon the authority of the official organ that
the French squadron, under Admiral Rigault de
Genouilly, is ordered to Naples. A natu-
ral consequence is the ordering of Admiral
Mundy's fleet, announced this afternoon, to the
same station. In fact the question, " What will
England do 1" is now beginning to be heard on all
sides. I mention, as one among many on dits, the
statement that your government has—if not form-
ally, at least officienaement—notified to that of the
Emperor its intention to follow up the occupation
of any portion of the territory of South Italy by
a similar step on some part of Sicily.
I find my intimation as tothe military origin of the
famous note in the Moniteur borne out by theopinion
of a correspondent of the Indelpendance. There is no
doubt that Chauvinism is becoming the order of
the day, and it is likely that such addresses an
those of M. Latour-Dumoulin would find a ready
response in the French army. "Italian ingrati-
tude" is a favourite theme here, and is a subject
not difficult to embroider for military purposes. I
have occasionally asked the question, " Would
French soldiers hesitate to fire upon Italian
patriots ?" " They have not hesitated," has been
the reply, "to fire upon French patriot, when
such was their consigns." But what a frightful
inconsistency would be the sending (and such inten-
tion is whispered) the Duo de Magenta in command of
the corps d'arnt4e destined to quell "demagogy " in
South Italy. The Parte announces that the pre-
sent increase of the French forces in Italy is not to
exceed one regiment of infantry and two squadrons
of cavalry. The same journal says, on the autho-
rity of a private despatch, that "The government
of Victor Emmanuel has received from Paris satis-
factory explanations both with respect to the
dispatch of the fleet to Naples and to other circum-
stances which have greatly agitated public opinion."
The France doubts not that tee mission of the En-
glish fleet is to co-operate with that of France
in " enforcing order." I have only just seen
the following in the Bastin de Paris, a
Ilithographic sheet prepared in Paris for the pro-
-1 einces : "It is said that new French troops are to
ilbe sent to Italy. It is added that they will be
11 placed under the command of Marshal M'Mahon,
and in case of necessity be sent towards the capital
of the Two Sicilies, in order to prevent or repress
any insurrection there." It is notoriously by means
of this sheet that the public mind is prepared for
any particular line of policy about to be entered
upon by the government. " And this is non-
intervention !" your readers will exclaim.
The Emperor's departure for Biarritz is delayed
for some days, probably owing to the increasing
gravity of public events. M. Benedetti, also, who
was to have resumed his duties at Turin at the end
of this week, will remain here some days longer.
The general belief is that little faith (the old
story) is to be attributed to the Turin despatches,
and that the insurrection in Calabria has already
assumed formidable proportions. The Duc de
Bellune has arrived at Marseilles, having been, as
was anticipated, recalled from his post as principal
secretary to M. de Lavalette.
The Bourse was less agitated to-day. The low
prices at which yesterday's market closed having
tempted buyers, there was a disposition upwards.
Rente rose The, for cash, and sc. for account,
leaving off at 681 r. and 681 r. 05c. respectively.
Italian Loan fell 25c. for cash, while for the ac-
count it rose 20c., the closing prices being 68fr. 15c.
and 681 r. 50c. respectively.

THE BIRTH OF A PRINCEAS IN TURIERT.—We
have been favoured with the following particulars of the
recent ceremony attendant upon the birth of the princess,
which will doubtless he interesting to our reader. :
" When the ladies of distinguished personages present them-
selves on the occasion of the Sultana's confinement, the cus-
tom is for them to offer their congratulations to the Sultan.
They appear before his Majesty, unveiled, and dressed in the
richest costume., but they wear no jewels. On the recent
occasion, they were introduced according to the rank and
position of their husbinds ; first, the lady of the Grand
Vizier, then, the lady of the Minister for Foreign Affair.,
afterwards, the wife of Mustapha Pacha and of the Sheikh-
ul•lslaro, followed by the remainder. There were also some
Christian ladies present ; amongst others, Mdme. Gusted'',
Madame Ptcipio (the mother of Marco Pacha) Madame Da-
chas, &c. On the presentation of the ladies in the apartment
where his %sleety was awaiting them, they first bowed oo
pasting the door, then advanced, prostrated themselves,
kissed his Majesty's foot, and, on rising up,
again bowed. Upon this, his Majesty, who remained
on foot during the whole of the cereetmey, replied by
a bow, and made inquiries individually of the ladies
as to themselves and their husband'. After passing
several days at the palace, the fair visitants returned
to their homes, each of them having previously
received munificent tokens of his Majesty. bounty in the
shape of a beautiful costume richly embroidered in gold
and an ornament in brilliants. Among other customs pecu-
liar to an event of this kind it may be mentioned that the
lady during her confinement wears• red handkerchief on her
head. The Sultana's apartment was hung with rich silk
damask, the coverlets of the bed were embroidered in gold,
and the curtains which surrounded it, with pearls of considera-
ble value. The cradle of the royal infant, the coverlets, and
everything which enveloped it were ornamented with dia-
monds, pearls,rubies, and emeralds. Presenta were also gives to
the attendant' of the ladies. It was a fairy enema which must
have been witnessed to be realised. The exquisite beauty
of many of the ladies, the brilliasey and richness of their
toilets, their animation and grace, was in every respect a
most pleasing object to behold, and cannot fail to have re-
moved many prejudicee which might have existed in the
minds of their Frank companions. The Sultan appeared
delighted in the camper, of the ladies. and exhibited a po-
liteness not to be excelled by the most polished gentleman
is Europe.”—Lereitt Herald, August NI
