PARIS, BINDLE EVENING.

The crowd that besieged the Paula Royal to see
Prince Jerome lying in state wu, u might have
been expect d, much greater this day (Sunday) than
yesterday. One of the immense " tails" formed by
the police extended serous the Rue Rivoli on to the
Carrousel and as far u the square of the new
Louvre. The average time to get in, which yester-
day was four hours, was to-day at least five or six.
It is announced that the Bishop of Troyes (Mgr.
Co3nr) has been appointed by the Minister of
Public Instruction and Worship to pronounce a
funeral oration in the Invalidee on Tuesday.

It appears to be certain that when Garibaldi
heard of the new Neapolitan constitution he judged
it right to hasten the annexation of Sicily to
Sardinia, which he had at first desired to defer.
Although the news from Sicily is very confused,
the balance of testimony is th►t Prince Torrearsa
and his two colleagues have withdrawn their
resignations, which they had tendered in conse-
quence of Garibaldi not consenting to immediate
annexation. . _

The protracted ailenoe of the Dfoniteur with
regard to the attack on K Brenier tends to
confirm a rumour that he was assaulted by a
private enemy,and that there was nothing political
in the affair.

A paragraph in the German papers states that
the Journal de Francfort, a widely circulated jour-
nal published at Frankfort in the French language,
has been sold by the proprietor, Baron de Vrints,
one of the Emperor of Austria's chamberlains, and
a brother-in-law of Count Buol, to a French com-
pany. I bear that the purchasers are the wealthy
and influential parties who proposed to publish in
France the series of pamphlets which were nipped
in the bud by the prosecution of M. Prevost
Paradol. It is only wonderful that the vast
amount of thought which struggles in vain for
utterance in France, should not sooner have found
a foreign channeL The French language is so
universally spoken that a newspaper published on
the Rhine by French politicians of talent and
eminence will be as much read as if its office were
in Paris.

The Moniteur of this morning announces the pre-
sentation to the Corps Legislatif of the project of
law relative to the calling out of 100,000 men of
the class 1880. The Moniteur also states that the
report on the Budget of 1881 has been laid before
the Corps Legislatif.

PARIS, SATURDAY.

The Bourse has been very heavy in consequence
of the news from Naples. Renter closed at 68.30,
or I lower than yesterday.

TURIN, Juice 27.

Yesterday K de Talleyrand, by the Emperor
Napoleon's orders, informed Count Cavour of the
intentions of the Court of Naples, which were,
however, already pretty. well known to ut through
our minister, Marque; di Villamarina The
following is what we have to make up our minds to.
The tri-coloured flag, with the Bourbon lilies on it,
is to wave over Naples ; a constitution is to be pro-
mulgated ; there is to be a new ministry • and an
alliance is to be sought with Piedmont. But while
the French government has confined itself to simply
describing the scenery and performances of the first
act of this new piece, our representative has
sought, as he was bound to do, to foresee the
development of the plot, and to find out whether
it is to have a tragic or a comic ending. Accord-
ingly, we dare say that Count Cavour, who ix
usually thought to be too precipitate in his deter-
minations, will in this case be accused of not receiv-
ing with sufficient readiness this Neapolitan pro-
gramme. After having sought to overcome Piedmont
by hostility, Naples now seeks to conquer her by
a perfidious alliance, and coolly salts her to commit
suicide to save a doomed and mischievous Bourbon
dynasty. But the snare is too obvious ;we shall
not be caught, even if the Neapolitans should be
foolish enough to be taken in by it. In the mean-
while the proceedings are going on for the
recovery of the vessels captured by the
Neapolitan cruisers. This morning Mr. Daniel,
United States minister resident here, left for Naples.
Mr. Daniel is of higher official rank than all the
other representatives of his country in Italy ; so
that his departure for Naples is not unimportant,
more especially as just now United States men-of-
war are arriving here 'ram various quarters. The
King of Naples, by one means or another, will be
made to give up the captured vessels.
Count Cavour had sent to Genoa urgent de-
spatches for Marquis di Villamarina, to be con-
veyed to Naples by the Morzambano. He was
therefore not a little surprised this morning to find
his despatches returned, with the intelligence that
the Mozzambano had already left. Now, as
the Mozzambano nail been telegraphed to wait
for the despatches, Count Cavour was extremely
angry. By an inquiry at the chief telegraph office,
he was satisfied that the telegram had been sent off
and delivered at the Admiralty in twenty minutes.
A strict investigation will be made into the causes
of this unitretemps, which in the present critical
state of affairs might be attended with serious in-
convenience. _ . _

By the Washington, one of the vessels of Medici's
expedition, sixteen more of those who were wounded
in the battle of Palermo have arrived. Two of
them are Venetians, nine Lombards, four Genoese,
and one is a Tuscan.
Conunendatore Spinelli, who is charged with the
formation of the new ministry at Naples, is a man
about 60 years old, of noble family, good educa-
tion, and respectable character. He has already
held the office of Intendant of Naples and Director
of the Archives of the Kingdom. He is a liberal,
though moderate in his views, and not at all likely
to take any original course of action. Signor
Manna, who it is said will be one of his colleagues,
is an honest man, but timid. He has great know-
ledge of political economy and financial matters,
but is not exactly of the stuff that ministers should
be made of. The same may be said of Signor
Baldacchini who, rumour says, is also to be in the
ministry. These men might be all very well in
ordinary and peaceful times, in a country where
everything had been long settled and reduced to
routine, but for the government of Naples at such
a moment as the presentthey are unfit. I know them
personally, and I know that they have not strength
to steer their course through the passions of an
outraged people and the intrigues of a crafty and
faithless court. Their very respectability is the re-
sult of a certain want of character and an obstacle
to their success. In accepting this task they offer
themselves up as a sacnfice to their country, for
they will earn the gratitude neither of the people
nor of the court. In 1848 Prince di Torella and
Prince di Cariati were in a precisely similar position.
Prince Cariati died broken-hearted at having been
deceived by Ferdinand IL, at having lost his own
reputation, which he bad kept stainless so many
years, and at seeing his country ruined. We shall
witness more of such catastrophes unless the Nea-
politan people have learnt as thoroughly as the
,rest of Italy the lesson of 1848.

A letter from Rome, of the 23rd ult., says The
Overbeck denvinstmtion took plane an Wednesday. 'Me
