ITALY.

FLORENCE, Barr. 24, EVENING.

This evening's Official Gazette says : " The
agitation by which it has been sought to impel the
country to violate international stipulations, far
from calming down, has become stronger and
more audacious. After a frank and decisive de-
claration, the ministry resolved to fulfil its duty
and keep its pledged word. The ministry had con-
vinced itself of the fact that during the last few
days a large number of volunteers had taken the
road to the frontier, where depots of arms had
been made, and whither other arms accompanied
or followed them. From Florence and Arezzo
General Garibaldi took the direction of the same
frontier by way of Sinalunga. The object of this
movement was thenceforth only too evident.
Action had really commenced, and therefore there
arose for the government the unavoidable necessity
either of allowing that treaties should be broken in
violation of the public faith, the authority of the
law, and the interests of the nation, or of
keeping its word and maintaining inviolate
at any price the majesty of the law.
The ministry has performed its duty. Volunteers
who were on the road to the Roman frontier, or
had already arrived there, were notified to return
to their homes, and those who refused were con-
ducted thither. General Garibaldi; at Sinalunga,
was summoned in the name of the law to retrace
his steps, and having refused, he was conducted to
Aleseandria. Supplies of arms have also been
seized. The ministry has performed a painful
duty, but it foresaw consequences still more de-
plorable had it temporised any longer. Tho wis-
dom of the Italian people, if it did not render
this step lees painful at least made it less difficult.
The ministry trusts that through that same pru-
dence all traces must soon disappear of an agitation
against which the ministry is guarding,oonscious of
its task, which is to sustain the dignity of Italy's
pledged word, and to act for the advantage of the
nation at large."

THE INTENDED INVASION OF THE PAPAL
TERRITORY.

PARIS, Sirr. 24, EvEmma.

The Pattie of this evening says that a telegram
has been received from Florence, dated yesterday,
announcing that Garibaldi left Arezzo on Sunday
evening and that his whereabouts were not known.
A telegram received this morning adds that he had
gone to the Papal frontier. Great excitement
prevailed in Florence. Orders had been sent to
different quarters to effect his arrest.
The same journal states that great animation
reigns at Toulon in consequence of the news from
Italy. Contradictory rumours are in circulation.
there. According to some there was a question
of sending a squadron of evolution to watch the
Roman coast, and the order for its departure would
shortly be sent to Ajaccio, where Admiral Gueydon
is stationed.

The Minister of War was shortlyexpected to arrive
at Toulon, and every arrangement had been mado
for embarking troops, if necessary.
The Patric adds, that it is impossible for it either
to affirm or deny these statements, but it is certain
that several ships are ready to sail, and that the
transport Intrepide has received orders to arm
immediately.

THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT.
BERLIN, fiwr. 24.

In to-day's sitting of the North German Parlia-
ment, after two of the draughts of an address in
reply to the speech from the throne had been
withdrawn, the third came on for discussion. Se-
veral members made speeches advocating its adop-
tion, while others opposed it. Count Bismarck
protested against an observation of Herr Beber
that mention should be made in the address
of the " Release of Luxemburg," and said,
" Luxemburg preserves the same territorial rela-
tions as before. Prussia has only yielded up the
right of garrisoning the fortress—a right which was
not an undoubted one, and for the maintenance of
which people in Germany were unwilling to plunge
into war. Moreover, the neutralisation of the
fortress compensates us for relinquishing the right
of garrisoning it." As far as other questions were I
concerned, he stated that the government viewed
the proposed address neither favourably nor
unfavourably. Referring to the circular of the
ith inst. he declared that no pressure whatever
would be exercised upon the Southern States.
If South Germany should give it to be understood
that it-was her wish to be excluded from the Bund,
no Federal government would be so wanting in
self-respect as to oppose each a wish. The parlia-
ment, however, would, he felt sure, not wish to
force him to abandon a certain necessary reserve on
the subject, as such a course would, perhaps,
conduce to bring about objects entirely opposed
to those which they bad in view. Alluding to
the question of Northern Schleswig, he declared
