If the Cosseitaiimutel and the Mimi* are cor-
rectly informed, there is no longer any doubt as to
the resolution of Francis of Gaeta to defend him-
self to the last. He will, it it said, send away all
troops not absolutely necessary for the defence of
Ithe place, the lottery-ticket indicating the lucky in-
dividual marked out for slaughter or starvation.
Truly, this man is the father of his people ! The
Paris correspondent of the Nord, on the contrary
—without affixing a probable date to the departure,
win et anti, of the ex-king—announces that when-
ever that event occurs he will betake himself to
Rome, there to consort and collude with Pope
Pius IX. This writer surely reckons without his
Napoleon, who will hardly tolerate the plotting.
and contrivings of these two incarnations of abso-
lutism beneath the tri-coloured flag. The same
correspondence values the devotion of those devoted
Bourbonista who have fled to Paris on the irrup-
tion of the Victor Emmanuelle* at the tune of
10,000 crowns—such being the amount of the tribute
forwarded from this city to the military chest at
Gaeta by Neapolitans, many of whom have in-
comes amounting to several millions of franca.

The Pope has given an organisation to the col-
lection of Peter's Penoe, which it had not before.
The Ctionoale di Roma has the following :

of Weans,/ to itself other societies and brotherhoods
throughout the catholic world, established for the same
object, viz., the suocoaring the Holy See by payers and
pious deeds.

By " pions deeds " is, of coarse, meant the
begging-box business.

iTttrin letter, of the 19th inst., says the Pied-
moutese parliament is to be convoked immediately
on the King's return, and forthwith dissolved in
order to be replaced by an Italian parliament. It
adds, that there is a strong party in the country
desirous of the election of a constituent assembly of
the whole nation, in order at once to establish the
constitution of the new Italian state.

The Patric, in its latest news, announces the fact
of the signature of the treaty of peace with China,
which took place in the beginning of October at
Tchang-Tcheon, near Pekin.

The telegram which announces an arrangement
between the banks of France and England for thee:-
change of two minions sterling in gold against a like
amount in silver, has been favourably received. It
had the effect of producing a certain animation
towards the close of the Bourse, which resulted in
a trifling rise in the Route of 10c., the final price
being 70fr. 20c. for cash, and 70fr. 15c. for the
account. Credit ldobilier left off at 760 fr. 25c.
cash, and 770 fr. account.

The Emperor Napoleon visited the representa-
tion of La Trariata, at the Italian Opera, Paris, oa Tues-
day night. _

The Messager de Nice, in speaking of the em-
ending momenta of the Empress Dowager of Russia, had
said that the last recommendation of her Majesty to the
Emperor Alexander was in favour of the King of Naples,
in remembrance of the reception which she met with some
years ago at the court of the Two Sicilia. That journal
again revert, to the subject, and says :—"A private letter
from Bt. Petersburg, received here, coafirms the dying
words of the Empress Dowager to her son, such as we gave
them. Only after having recommended to the COW the
King of Naples, tie angled prince's ia said to have melded—
' But above all thlap make no alliance with Austria.' like
died ems after."
