ITALY.

(TROY ova OWN

D 11012117.)
TURIN, OCT. 21.

There is nothing particularly new to-day. The
arrival of despatches from Signor Nigrs from Paris
has afforded a little encouragement to the ministry,
but Signor Nigra leaves the King's government
altogether in the dark regarding the views of M.
Drouyn de Limp. Will he obtain a clearer in-
sight into the matter, or will be be the victim of a
new mystification 1 Signor Rattazzi, who is anxious
to remain in the ministry, willingly believes the
assertions which are made regarding the good
intentions of IL Drouyn de Lhuys. It would
seem that Signor Rattazzi considers himself rather
as a French than an Italian minister. Business is
retarded. Decision is not the characteristic of this
minister. Take as an example the limitation be-
tween yes and no, in Garibaldi's case, for forty
days.
To-day the Rapero, Is Farina's journal, gives the
lie to the statement of his having joined the minis-
try, but both the journal and its directors lead to a
belief of it. it is said at Paris that M. Drouyn de
Lhuys would be pleased with La Farina's appoint-
ment. If so, M. Drouyn de Lhuys knows nothing
of the general. He little loves to serve strangers.
He abominates Austria, to which M. Drouyn de
Lhuys is so much attached ; and he is not in a
humour to ask of France how he ought to govern
Italy. La Farina is a man of that class to which
Ricasoli belongs : a very different thing must be
said of Drouyn de Lhuys.
This morning a sham fight with twelve thousand
men came off at Settimo. The Minister of War
keeps the troops constantly exercised ; and they
are the subject of his unremitting attention. The
army is the only thing well managed by the pre-
sent ministry.
The news regarding Garibaldi is neither better
nor worse than yesterday ; an account of his death
would not cause great surprise. God forbid it
should happen.

(PEON OCCAIIIOIIAL COMILLSPONDDIT.)
GENOA, Off. 21.

If anything were needed to increase the gloom
and depression that prevail here, it would have
been the change in the French ministry. If M.
Thouvenel was not a partisan of Italy in the strong
sense of the word, he was certainly favourable to a
settlement of the Roman question, and was disposed
to believe that Italians should be the masters of
their own country.
Now M. Drouyn de Lhuys has regularly check-
mated the Rattazzi party, who can no longer hope
to amuse the nation by a policy of "expectancy."
All the mysterious paragraphs in the world would
not give confidence to Turin no long as it is known
that the French Secretary of Foreign Affairs hears
mass every morning of his life, and confesses himself
every Saturday.

The nation is not in a mood for mere party
squabbles, and in the actual contingency the King,
disgusted with the insults he hourly receives from
France, and sick of " transactions," would take
a ministry from the extreme Left, if there were in
that section of the Chamber a few men competent
to the charge of an administration.
Many serious and thoughtful men declare that
they believe they have arrived at the critical con-
dition in which nothing but some bold, heroic remedy
will save the nation—one of those intrepid acts by
which a courageous physician will sometimes rescue
a rick man by an agent that might destroy life,
and already the possibility of a war with France
'is talked of by those who a few months
back would have ridiculed the thought as
an insanity. The King, I hear, would
accept this with a heart and a half. He is utterly
wearied by " small play," and would like to pitch
his purse on the table and cry " Banco !"—All or
nothing. Nor, if Austria could be held aloof,
would the game be so hopeless as many deem it.
The nation, the Italian people, are strongly inimi-
cal to France I do not know if they ever felt
more thoroughly hostile to Austria than they now
do to their late ally. Will Eugland help us 1 is
heard everywhere. Yes, of course, one must
answer, "We will give you the most cheering en-
couragement and the best advice." "Mon fils, Je
to donne—ina benediction," " Son, I give tim—
ely biessing," will bear au application nearer hone
to us.

However we may regret it the truth must be told :
England would not go to war for Italy. We have
got into the habit of lecturing foreign nations—
giving them wise counsels and virtuous precepts,
and we have found that it is an admirable policy,

[TWOPENCE

which, while it extends our influence, costa us very
little money. The French, a people of scoffers,
have tried to ridicule us out of it, but they have
failed, and we stand pretty much to the nations of
Europe as a gruff o:d uncle does to a number of
expectant nephews, who, knowing that the old
gentleman is rich, put up with all his oddities and
c►pricee, and hope to see their patience one day
meet its reward.

Be 'allured, however, that without usurping the
functions of my prophetic brethren, I am not at
fault in predicting approaching convulsions in this
part of Europe, and foretelling that before long
Italy will be " up," from the Alps to Calabria. 'See-
ing that Garibaldi was doing tolerably well, and
that the radical Congress assembled at Spezzia bad
broken up without anything coming of their deli-
berations, I came up here to learn some DEWS of the
Prince of Wales and the Princess of Prussia, whose
arrival has been daily looked foe. Nothing is yet
known of their ooming, nor is the royal yacht in the
harbour, so that the band of the National Guard
have got a longer time to practise their " God save
the Queen," a melody which, with the best inten-
tions, is occasionally performed as a Psalm, and
sometimes see Polka.
