I take leave to call your attention to the fact that the
United States forties gave every immunity to Konaieur
13onnegrsaa who claimed to be the French Consul at Baton
Rouge, allowed him to keep his arms, and relied upon hit
neutrality ; but his eon was taken prisoner .in the battle-
field in arms against us. _

You will alio do me the favour to remember that very
few of the French subjects here have taken the oath of i
neutrality, which was offered to but not required of them by
my order No. ei, although all the officers of the French
legion had with your knowledge and meant taken the oath
to support the constitution of the Confederate States. Thum
you see I have no guarantee for good faith of bad men.
I do not understand how it is that arms are altered in
their effectiveness by being " personal property," nor do I
see how arms which will serve for personal defence (qui

cannot be as effectually used for offensive warfare.
Of the disquiet, which you say there are signs manifest-
ing themselves among the black population, of a desire
to break their hoods, which bind them to their

from breaking their bonds.

Let me assure you that the protection of the United
States against violence either by negroes or white
men, whether citizens or foreign, will continue
to be as perfect as it has been since oar advent here, and by
far more, manifesting itself at all momenta and everywhere
(tous lee instants et parfout) than any improvised citizens

Wh the inhabitants of this city will, by a
public and united act, show both their loyalty

of all the inhabitants, white and black, to be under my

I have the honour to be, your obedient servant,

It is stated in the correspondence of the SsCLe
of to-day that, on the afternoon of Tuesday, Gari-
baldi was carried in a litter from the frigate off
Speszia to the fort of Varignano. During the
journey, at a halt of the porters, it was observed
that he had fainted. Great attention was at once
paid to him, and he shortly afterwards revived. His
son Riocotti, who is quite a boy, is with him. It
is stated in one quarter that the illustrious general
was desirous of being attended by Dr. Bertani ; but
his wish was not granted, as Bertaui is under
arrest.
M. Kossuth has arrived in Turin.
