THE CRISIS IN ITALY.
The correspondent of La Libeite writes from
Florence as follows :
On the Ist November some persons began to poet on the
walls of Pavia a proclamation of Martini, calling the
Italians to arms. The police commenced to tear them
down, and a riot arose. A crowd went to the prefect's
house ; young men—studenta mounted on chairs—read the
proclamation aloud amidst frenzied applause. The prefect,
who was besieged, drew up a warning, which the police
began to post on the walls ; but as soon as one was posted
it was torn down. The brash and paste of the posters were
forced from them, and Mazzini's proclamation
triumphantly appeared on the walls. The carbineers
looked on and did nothing. Thirty defenders mounted
guard, and swore that they would protect the proclama-
tion of Mazziui. The carbineers having got orders marched
towards them sabre in hand. The people received them with
a shower of stones. Men got on the roofs of houses, and
threw tiles on the heads of the soldiers. At last the
military fired and blood flowed. In 1860 Count Cavcur
rubbed hi. hands after the vote proclaiming Rome the
capital of Italy, and thought he had annihilated Mazzini
by appropriating his programme. The situation iv the
same now. In order to deprive Mazzini of in-
fluence the king mast sign the proclamation of
Pavia. In Turin the demonstrations smell' of powder
and barricades. In Naples they take the form of a carni-
val. "We will not attempt to describe," says. the Roma,
of Naples, `• the extravagance, the absurdities, end the
excesses of which the Parthenopean city is the theatre at
this moment. The lauaroni have it all their own way.
The insurrectional committee held its sittings in the very
hall of the provincial council of Naples."

The correspondent of the Morning Post at Rome
reports the following scene as having taken place
after the arrival of the French :
The arrival of the French did not restore tranquillity to
the city, for towards evening some persons drinking
in a wine-shop at the Villa Ceochini, just above
the Serristori Barracks, were attacked by •
detachment of Zouaves, who killed Bee of them, wounded
three, and arrested four, besides killing an innocent
woman, and wounding two poor children. Whether there
was really any reasonable ground of suspicion for authoris-
ing this onslaught is much to be doubted; but at any rate
the sanguinary and indiscriminating manner in which
the Zouaves have butchered women and children on all
these occasions is not suitable to the mild sway that ought
to be exercised by the spiritual as well as temporal father
of his subjects. Domiciliary visits and perquiaitions have
been going on to an immense extent, and persons arrested
on suspicion in the city are more numerous than Gan-
baldiana made prisoners without.
The address of the Committee of Succour of
Naples to the editors of the liberal press in Paris
is signed by General Avezzana, Senator Imbriani,
president of the provincial council ; the Duke San
Donato, vice-president and general of the National
Guard ; Count Ricciardi, the Deputies Abigante,
Guinti, Polsnelli, Asproni, Maraico, Prams, Comin,
Raniere, Mauro, Marquis Avitabile, Ciliberti,
Consiglio, ice.

At the School of Medicine, which opened its
session at Paris on Monday hat without the usual for-
malities, the students to the number of 1,500 demanded
that the session should be inaugurated according to the
custom of former years. The moment Professor Gavarret
entered they began to sing the " Mareeillaise," and cries
of " Vivo Garibaldi " were heard. The uproar lasted a
long time, and at the end of the hour the protium looked
at his watch and retired. The manifestation was not in
the least directed whist Professor Garnet.
