ITALY.

The National Saraisien, of the llth,speaks of a con-
federation said to be concluded between the Italian
powers, namely, Sardinia, Thecany,Roms, and Naples,
the latter on the condition that the Duke of Genoa do
not accept the crown of Sicily, and that all the powers
should offer their mediation between Sicily and
Nagle', to indace the former to accept one of the sons,
of Ferdinand. It appears that the park of artillery
belonging to Sardinia, which had been retain' ed by
the Austrians at Peachier,, is to be given up by them.
1,600 cavalry have arrived at Cremona, to assort it
lback into the Sardirjan stahia.

The Genoa papers contain a
_proolssoation, dated
the 7th, from Major-General Durand*, who has
being named commissioner-extraordinary by the I
Wag. The tons of this document is very copethatory,
and recommends the Genoese not to give them-
selves up to turbulence and illegality ; the following
is remarkable : " The armistice is near
sTill6f • war is almost inevitable. At any rate
we have either a really honourable peace, or a
new war with the cooperation of oar powerful
neighbours." Letters from Alexandria, in these jour-
nals, state that French soldiers were arriving there in
parties of from 10 to 16. Moat of them had come, us
thoir feuilles de route show, from Chambery and Ge-
neva, others from the Simplon. Three thousand of
them were expected; they belong to a great variety of
C°71:10 Corriere Lit/onion of the 7th contains an en-
count of the return of the deputation sent to Florence
by the Insurgents. Onerraszi spoke to the people,
praising their energy, and announcing that the govern-
ment had promised to forget all the acts that hid taten

Leghorn, and to allow the to choose their own

IRELAND.
DISTURBANCES IN THE SOUTH.

The intelligenoe from the month of Ireland, which
reached Dublin lut evening, goes far to negative the
supposition which was at first so readily entertained,
that the disturbances which have taken place in the
neighbourhood of Carrick-on-Suir were the re-
sults of an organised system of general insur-
rection. The movement, so far as a judgment may be
formed from the foots which have already come to
light, would seem to have nothing in it of
a revolutionary character, in the political sense
of that term. It appears to have been local
and agrarian. It has not spread beyond the
district in which it originally commenced, and
even in those carters where the first manifestations
were made, there is evidence already of returning
tranquillity. The encampment which had been formed
atAheny,in county 'llpperary, had disappeared, and the
insurgents had been so beaten on every point in which
they came into collision with the police, that there
was nothing left for the military to do, and in a few
days at most the thing will have passed over We
learn by the Electric Telegraph Company's express
that the mails which reached Dublin last evening re-
ported "everything quiet in the South."

The following, from the correepondent of the
Kilkenny Moderator, is dated Callao, Sept. 13,
5 o'clock, p.m. :
Raving come to this town to-day, for the puF of steer-
tabling the truth or &Leland of the various fl rumours
as to the position, strength, and exploits of • insurgents
yesterday encamped on Absay-bill, which you have already
given to your readers, I now pprroceed to inform you of the
statements which may be dope ded upon as strictly true, and
those which were exaggerated through the terror of the nar-
rators. You were folly usenet in stating that the authorities
in the neighbourhoodofC wish bad apprehend ed an outbreak,
and had taken pressegisos to meet any sudden attack upon
that town du toe /nem med of last week, and it appears that
on Monday the began to master upon the hill of

as them, they were espeed to mush whilst remain-
ing jn their isolated peatime and so near the rebel camp.
The Olanbewer man were in the act of jgaelog their effects
upon cars for the purpose of removal, when they perceived
the enemy approaching, and they then immediately betook
themselves to the bens*. The insurgents pounced upon
the clothes boxes of the men, which they boots open
with large atones, and then deliberately preoeeded
to array themselves in the various articles of apparel
which they found therein, throwing away the old
clothes which they had previously worn. They then de-
manded a surrender of the policemen's arm, but the comma-
bite, eight in number, had been occupying themselves in
making the arrangements for defence, the trick of which
they were so writ taught by Mr. Treat, at Farranrory and
amid replied to the demand by firing a volley at
the beaters. Just at this critical moment the ght
policemen who formed the Nine-mile-boom party, and who
were on their march to Carrick, arrived at dienbower.
They immediately gave the insurgents a volley In the rear,
and the fellows did not stand to receive their further Cour
plimenta, but ran away In all directions. Two men fall be-
fore the barracks; one of them was wounded, and the con-
stabulary made him a prisoner; the other was killed
on the spot. The latter was a pens residing in the neigh-
bourhood, and well known to the police ; he had u,ponlis
feet a pair of boots sifted from one of the boxes, and his own
old brogues were found where he had thrown them by the
road side when he had aged himself more to his Hiring.
An old woman, whom I met at the place, stated that
she was looking on at the entire engagement, and that after
the " boys " ran one of them, whilst crossing the hill, was
struck by a bell from the barraek, and tall, but got up spin,
lied was astistei off by hie comrades. She also said that
several others of the attacking party were believed to have
been wounded. The constabulary party of Ninemilelsouse
remained at Glenbower, fearing that they might be inter-
rupted in their much to Carrick ; and an intimation of their
precarious condition was conveyed to flub-Inspector Trent.
at Callen, by a letter entrusted to the guard of the Cale
and Kilkenny mail, which pared soon after the skirmish.
Upon the receipt of this billet immediate preparations
were made for going to the mem of the oonstabk B.
A pwam of the 57th Regiment was encamped at Callan,
AM the Itrainuarten of the 83rd had arrived from Kilkenny,
en route for Fermoy. Notwithstanding the fatigue of the
;A's marsh already sustained, two companies of the latter
ant asps turned out with the utmost alacrity and about
(ulcer. and with two compass of the 76th, and about
thin Policemen under command of P. Blake, Baq., C. 1.,
and Dint, See., 8.1 , mended to Glenbower.
They, however, found that the constabulary had left previous'
to their arrival, having been relieved by a company of the
3rd Both and • company of the 83rd from Carrick, who
came to their eadatance on jointing oars es soon as the
news of their danger reached that town, and made
prisoners of several people whom they found congregated
mar the Oleubower station. These etas, though head in
this position, were not anted, and we believe no charge will
be sustained against them. The 76th and 83rd,with the Callan
constabulary, bivouacked for the night at Olenbower, in the
open air. On the following morning =immunisations were
held with the troop in Carrick, touching the advisability of
her from eit point on the of Aheny, and
I:rivairnrale insurgents battle ; however, upon making obser-
maims of the ground, it was found that the rebel force had
evacuated the camp, and disappeared into the various woods
and mountain mesas of the district, to dislodge them from
which would require a much larger force, and more matured
plan of operation. Amordingly, the troops sad polies
aimed from °Wallower to Or to.day, sad I believe the
83rd Is to continne Its marsh to Fethard to-morrow. You
will perceive from this statement that the reports in Kil-
kenny lest night, sad which were conveyed chiefly by fugi-
tives frost the neighboured of Kilmogenhy, were much ex-
aggerated; end I believe that the number of Insurgents
setteallr.appeariag in arms was much ever-rated. The
mites were no where dimmed, as you ware led to be-
lieve, hut, on the contrary, wherever they came in colli-
sion with the rebels, the 'latter were signally defeated. I
was not able to restrain the truth or otherwise of the
rumour that there were three Maas of cannon cm the hill

Ido not semi as totally defeated. On the
eontrergirli fear that, larking in the mountains, they will

inhabitrate, up a guerilla warfare, and
herrsedag the troops by sent forced marches without

plunder, and not the ametion of any political right, is the
main object of the crathreek.
