LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 24.

V4llOlll have been the apologies ollered during
the last three months by members of Parliament
for the nothing done during the preceding seven ;
many the attempts made to explain bow a
Session of so much promise ended in such discredit-
able failure. Whip throw the blame on Tory
antagonists, and Tories accuse the want of earn-
estness and unity in the Peelite and Whig
coalition. Major 1321124/01111 rejoices that the
session was not spent In vain, because Parliament
was saved from Reform ; and Mr. MILWZR
nos declares that the true definition of representa-
tive government is "government by talk "—• de-
finition quoted by the way from the most
eminent libeller of that form of rule that best
appeared in England since the days of House'
—and thereupon bids us be thankful that 1
instead of fulfilled pledges we have an infinity of
palaver, and in place of good measures a growing
amount of legislative twaddle. Mr. BUS takes •
different view of the matter ; he tries to excuse
the deplorable shortcomings of last melon partly
by jokes and partly by statistics. If the fun is
not very original, the figures are. The not very
recondite allegory of " too many cooks," &c., is
served up to prove that the people of England ought
to have returned last time a greater number of dumb
hacks for the Minister of the day to drive, and then
we should havehad a splendid assortment of first-rate
measures carried. Unfortunately for the bread grin
and big majority theory of Mr. Rim, the people
of England did try what would come of it some
three years ago. They gave Lord PALWEIATON
a majority Large enough to satisfy even Mr. BASS ;
all rival cookery seemed to be rendered hopeless,
and nearly every Radical kitchen-maid of note was
actually turned out of doors. And how long did
the experiment last, or what did it end in t Con-
fessedly in a break down the most signal and ram-
miry that has been seen in our time. Most
people of thought or reflection are, in fact, aware
that great and important measures are oftener
carried in • well-balanced Parliament than in one
returned in • season of party panic or egregious
corruption, in which the government of the day
obtains an overwhelming preponderance of
legislative flunkies and fools to do An capricious
bidding. The greatest acts ever passed by Par-
liament were carried by small majorities, and some
of the worst were passed with little debate and
by overpowering cumber,. For our parts, we
should be exoesdimady every to see a weak Opposition
in point of numbers, talent, or argumentative
power. We bare it would be very bad for the
ultimate credit el this Ministers who have an
ambition to Whet something that may redeem
their tenure of GSM from oblivion i and we are
quite sere that I wend be • seen of danger and

At the request of the Zing the whole diplomatic

PARIS, F/ERAT &unto.
An attempt is made to reconcile the inoonsiatelt-
cies of the different versions of the Terracina mem-
patiOn; by the supposition that the Piedmonteee
general proposed to General Goyon a joint occupa-
tion, Which the latter refused. Of course his word
was law. The Indnpendance, indeed, goes so far as I
to describe him as the virtual sovereign of Rome.
A oorrespondent of the Borsenhalle is of opinion I
that the majority of the powers will refuse to re-
ceive the diplomatic envoys of the new King of
I Italy. until he shall have effectually subdued all
internal dissension among his own subjects, more
especlally among the Nimpolitans. " A curious title,"
observes the Nord, " to set up for the dispossessed
princes, and one which time will by no means tend to
strengthen!' It would not be difficult to name
more than one country which has establiahed itself
upon modern principles, in defiance of the black'
looks of the " old " powers. With respect to Italy,
if Victor Emmanuel's ambissiidon are raoeived by
England or France, be can very well afford to wait
as regards other power. The belief gains ground
that Napoleon 111. has taken the person of Francis
of Gaeta under his powerful protection, as be did
long since that of the Pope. Hence the French
occupation of Terracina, as to which there is no
longer any doubt. It should be stated, however,tbat,
according to the Patric, the object of such occupation,
which corresponds with the increase of the garrison
of Velletri and Frosinone, is the completion of a
I regular strategic system. "These military mea-
sures," it says, "indispensable for the accomplish-
' ment of the end which France proposes to herself
at Rome, render us masters of the eastern frontier
of the States of the Church and thus enable as to
assure their tranquillity." Whatever the alleged
objects, the result is to keep open the °millennia-
tiona between the town in question and Gaeta, by
which means the latter can ocinthme to MOM)
fresh provisions.
The Pays says, in its "latest intelligence :"
In spite of the doubts expensed by the Journal du
Deals, oar information warrants om persistenoe in our
belief Slot the States of the Germanic Confederation are
disposed to support Austria in Venetia in the event of aa
attack. It appears that the general arrangement& an\
eked) made, and that nothing manias, in case of nem-
sky, bat to name the commander-in-chief.
The Moniker announces that the annual million
allowed to the late Prince Jerome returns to the
public treseury, minus 300,000 fr. a year, which the
Princess Mathilde will receive in future. No men-
tion is made of Jerome junior, who, as we know,
crimes into a palace, • ehatsaii, and a considerable
landed estate. In addition to this national saving
of 700,000 fr. a year,a fresh sourced actual income is
talked of as being contemplated by the govern-
meat. This is neither more nor less than
a new monopoly, in addition to those already
held. What will your reader; think of a inciter
monopoly I Not the true original "black one"

NAPLES, Nov. 15.
The great topic of interest in Naples during the
last few days has been the note of Lord John
Rensell: It has excited a sensation which I could
have scarcely imagined possible ; for the salons, the
journals, and even Majesty are loud in their ex-
pression of grateful admiration of it ; and yet per-
Imps it is not extraordinary that it should hays
produced snob an effect, for it is not only a full and
public declaration of the policy of our government,
but a direct condemnation of the tortuous or
hostile policy of the continental governmeate.
On Sunday last, Admiral Mundy, in obedience to
a command of the King, had sto audience of his
Majeety. The admiral was accompanied by
Captain Farquhar, and no others were pressed.
The conversation was carried on with that perfect
affability and freedom from all form for which his
Majesty is remarkable. The King expressed his gra-
titude in strong terms for the support which the
Italians bad received from the British government
and the British people, and dwelt with much admira-
tion on the note of Lord John Russell. Other topics
were introduced, such as the siege of Gaeta ; and
alter a quarter of as hoax the audience terminated.
To-day Mr. Elliot leases—of course without an
audience—regretted, I believe, by all parties, and
by Neapolitans as well as English. Miring his
short residence he has commanded general respect
by his bold, out-spoken, honest manner, and he has
had the honour of contributing to the fall and as-
sisting at the obsequies of the Bourbons. Unlike
the ministers of other powers, he never
ceased to declare, even to Majesty, what he
thought ; and it is upon record that he
warned Francis 11. of the danger into which be
was running, and urged him to change his course.
Francis 11. was deaf ; his minister told Mr. Elliot
that the Neapolitan government knew well its
strength, and the world now knows it too. The
departure of our minister is, however, not merely a
fact of individual interest, it marks the beginning
of a new era in the history of a country, and every
Eugfish freeman will be ready to sacrifice hie regrets
at the loss of all those advantages which are to be
derived from the residence of a diplomatic repre-
sentative to his good wishes for the prosperity of the
new institutions. Mr. Elliot, accompanied by his
family, leaves by her Britannic Majesty's liner the
Queen.
Mr. Chandler, the United States minister, who
during the short time he has been in Naples has
acquired the esteem of all who know him by his
amiability and firmness, will leave on Saturday.
He will be the last lingering member of the diplo-
inane body, and the only relics of the past will be
Baron Aimee, in charge. of the archives of France,
and Mr. Cunningham, in charge of those of Great
Britain.

I think your special correspondent will have
already sent yon • copy of the order of the day
which iiispoisool the Garibaldi army.
What 11 tabs done with the British Legion I do
not know, but suppose that it will be subject to the
same regulations as the other branches of the
Garibaldi army.
Of British officers bolding appointments we have,
unconnected with the Legion, Colonel Dunne, after-
wards made brigadier-general by Garibaldi ; Cap-
tain Dowling, made successively major and colonel
by Garibaldi, as also inspector of artillery—be
commands the 'annoy ; Captain Wyndham,
made colonel by Garibaldi—he commands the
Zotiaves ; and Dr. Franklin, made honorary
lieutenant-colonel and honorary surgeon to the
Dictator ; he has also served actively and ably in
the hospitals of Naples and Caserta. AD these
gentlemen is their several careers have distinguished
themselves, and done their country honour. I
cannot pat down Madame Marlow; a British °Meer,
but she is s legion, and I should ill do my duty
were I not to record her energy, her self-sacrifice,
and her fearless exposure of herself on an occasions
in which sic could be useful to thaw to whose
muse she devoted herself. On the night of the hat

Nov. 16.
The press of Naples, which begins to assume a
respectable form and exercises considerable in-
fluence here, takes different views of the conduct of
the government towards the Garibaldini. A ri-
tion of it speaks with great violence of the impo
of breaking up a fine army already made to has
sad of the ingratitude shown towards the officers,
by requiring that they should be compelled to paw
an exantinaticin before receiving an equivalent
grade in the Piedmontese army. The Nazionak,
which is an independent and well-written journal,
meets these objections by saying that the army is
not broken up, inasmuch as those who desire it
may enrol themselves in the national army, whilst
to officers are to be examined by a mixed commis-
sion of Garibaldi= and Piedmontese officers.

The Official Journal oontains the following letter
front his Majesty to the Lieutenant-General :

Yy dear Farini,-00 my arrival in this city I wished to
be informed as to the coalition and nimeseities of the least
fortunate clews, sad I was painfully affected on learning
bow little and for have been the institutions for popular
edneatioa. Instruction—the religions and civil 'ducat= ci
the people—bas been the constant thought of my reign.
I know that by them the industry and the morality of the
whole nation are inereasel The liberal institutions left by
my Wiser, and prawaved by me, to be useful to all must be
understood by all, and benefit all. lam pervaded that
you will be the faithful interpreter of my inteations ; bat
in the cliff uiou of popular education, which I have much at
heart, I wish to concur perscaally. For those reasons
dispose that from my private purse the sum of 200,000
Italian lire shell be taken and distributed for this work of
beneficence to the mind and soul. In the employment of
this aim you will bear in mind the advantage which may
be derived in • large city from the establishment of infant
schools. Yon will, moreo►er, give proper directions in the
provinces for the study of the important subject of the
education of the people. I desire that the repreeentatives
of the government, the municipal authorities, and anemia.
*ions of citizens may be by your efforts encouraged and
aided in the promotion of this work of Christian aoil dviii
progress, to which both as men and as rulers we owe the
most solicitous care.
VICTOR FaxAziaa.

To hie Exoelleney the Lieutenant-C
of the Neapolitan Provinena.

Naples, Ker. 14.
The Journal announces that the Lieutenant-
General has already given the necessary orders for
the disposal of the King's beneficence. It also de-
clares the intention of his excellency to take speedy
measure. for the commencement of great works of
public utility, and for the anticipation of the neces-
sary funds from the state treasury. "The goveru-
meat intends to abolish,' says the Gazette, "the
octroi tax on grain, maccaroni, and flour." This
series of wise and tranquillising measures is fol-
lowed by another notice' to the effect that General
Room has communicated to General Sirtori that
his Majesty has decided that the noa-commissioned
officers, corporals, and soldiers of the Southern
Army (Garibaldian), on returning to their families,
shall receive six months' instead of three months'
pay. General Rocca has also communicated the
order of his Majesty that medals for military
valour and decorations of the Military Order of
Savoy shall be given to those amongst the officers
of every rank, non-commissioned officers, corporals,
and soldiers, who had opportunities of diskuguisla-
ing themselves in the venom engagements of the
present war. The order, though late, is graceful,
but it is an acknowledgment that considerable dis-
content existed in the ranks of the Garibaldini, and
justly so. They are entitled every whit to as much
consideration as the disciplined troops of Piedmont,
and it must ever be their boast that they have
given the Two Siciliee to Victor Emmanuel.
There is another concession which I must note,
and which shows the wisdom of the government, as
well as the extreme susceptibilities of the Nevelt-
Una The Castles of St. Elmo and Nuovo were
yesterday re-occupied by the National Guard, the
occupation by the Piedmontme having lasted three
or four days and produced immense irritation

I was yesterday at the Hospital of San Sebastian
spin to proems one of those water beds which have
given so much comfort to the suffering, and for
which the patriots of Italy are indebted to the
ladies of England. I visited the English patients,
who said that they were treated only too well. " I
believe, sir," said one, " that if I were to order a
dozen of fowls for twelve o'clock I should have-
them." On leaving them I went to another ward,
and witnessed one of those painful scenes which can
only be vritne:wed in those countries where the
form is substituted for the spirit of religion,
and the priest assumes to himself the qualities
of the Saviour rather than the ()consoler of men.
There was a poor fellow dyeing—he had
been shot in the stomach, and the ball was
still in his body—and his heavy convulsive respi-
ration told of approaching death. Not a friend
was near him to close his eyes,bnt instead the cruci-
fix was laid on his pillow by the aide of his head,
and a dirty looking priest was reading in an unin-
terested tone a portion of one of the Gospels to
him in Latin. One word of kindness or of Chris-
tian hope from the lips of some benevolent person,
in an intelligible language, would have soothed his
last moments and deprived death of its terrors ;
but why should I speak of an instance when such
is the rule ? In this country a man passes from
the world deafened by a language which is as
foreign to his ears and intelligence as English, and
frightened by the sacristan's bell, and a crowd
of curious who claim the right to follow
the priest who carries the host, and throng
into the patient's room. Had, however,
the Bourbons remained, all these miserable stereo-
forms would have continued too, and the
typed forms
would have lived and died like brutes.
It is consolatory to find that Victor Emmelinel is
bent on the education of his people, in face of
which all these monkish, mediaeval absurdities
must vanish. The letter which he has written to
Farini, and which is published to-day, is a great
and generous act, but I cannot forget that Gan-
halal laid the first stone to the great structure of
public education. Dumas sent off his yacht the
day before yesterday and placed it at the disposal
of the liberator. To their great credit I find
afnongst the Neapolitans a positive yearning after
him—every one speaks of him as a demigod ; and
the sudden manner in which he left would seem to
have heightened the illusion, at the same time that
it has created the greatest reget.

Nowa/ern 17.
The Official Journal of this morning publishes
most important decrees, which show at one and the
11108 time the foroe which public opinion is
acquiring and the wisdom of the government which
yields to it. The first decree directs that—

Art. 1. The Belles who:deers actually under arms will
I form a body Depends, from the regale, army. The duration
I of the term of service for soldiers shall be two yea The
officers shall have their special scale of service and pro-
I amtiou.
2 The advantages and obligations, both of soldiers and
officer% shall be equal with those of the regular army.
3. A 'stud comninsion shall determine the rank and
standing of the °Shen of the volunteers, regard being peg
to their services and anteeedente.
4. The government reserves to itself to enter the volun-
teer officers in the regular army, but in such a way as to
respect the rights acquired by the officers of the regular
army.
5 The preceding arrangements do not.ilispense say one

CAVOUR.

When the order of the day which has caused so
much irritation was published it was said that the
King expressed great dissatisfaction with IL It
may be true or not, but the present decree bears
upon it the impress of his generous spirit, and lends
a colour of truth to the report. I have to notice
another decree, which is the development of the
official notice communicated above. By it every
kind of grain, manufactured flour, rice, and pulse
is liberated from the heavy octroi tax, which was
always exacted on the articles being brought into
Naples. The tax on other articles, ali meet, wine,
cheese, &c., is to be reconsidered, and re-adjusted
'in conformity with the new caseates tariff, and
so as to rulieve the poorer claises from many of
those payments which pressed so heavily on food.

1 need not say that these wise nieasures have pro-
duced the best effects.

For some days the small-pox has been raging on
board her Britannic Majesty's ship Renown.
Fourteen are down with the disease, and yesterday
morning the Renown went over to Bien's, and
deposited them in the lazaretto, which has been
kindly granted by the authorities for the purpose.
Iq the French and Danish armies the men are re-
vaccinated soon after their enrolment, and the
malady is scarcely ever beard of. Why, therefore, is
not a similar practice introduced into our navy, a
practice which would entail no trouble, and would
prevent such inconveniences as the disabling of a
ninety-gun ship of war 1

SYRIA.

011011 OUR OWN coaassrownert.)
BEYROUT, Nov. 9.
Ishmael Pacha, better known as General Kmety,
has resigned his command in Syria, and intends re-
tiring, at least for a time, from the active duties of
his profession. There have been several rumours
abroad respecting the reasons fur the general's very
sudden reeolution, but the real cause is as follows ;
When in command of the Turkish corps d'armile in
the Lebanon the other day, Kmety saw very plainly
—as any person must see after a week's experience
in the Mountain—that, unless the people were dis-
armed, nothing could be done towards pacifying
the country. Acting on this conviction, be began
by disarming the Drums, and, without giving them
uotioe, surrounded three large villages, and seized
011 the guns pietols, swords, knives, and dawn;
he could flail in the place. Like all Kmety's plans
this commencement of thedisanaing was admirably
designed and as well carried out. Moreover, unlike
the Turkish officers, he determines without talking
of his intentions—he bites before he barks. It was
his determination to disarm by degrees the whole
Druse mountain, and then the Christian districts ;
in short, to carry out once more what Ibrahim
-Pasha effected throughout Lebanon when the
country first came under Egyptian rule, by which
means not .a shot was fired In Lebanon between
Druses and Christians for many years, not indeed
until 1840, when, as the natives say, e land was
again cursed by Turkish rule. This disarming of
the Mountain is and must be the first step towards
restoring peace iu the country, and until it is done
—done thoroughly as in the time of the Egyptians
—there will always be bloodshed when men dis-
agree. It would seem, however, that naafi Pacha
is of another way of thinking, or wishes the dis-
arming to be effected in some other manner—per-
haps thinks it better that due notice should be
given of the government's intentions, so that
the people would have time to hide their arms.
Be that as it may, he no sooner heard
what Kmety had done than he sent up orders to
stop further proceedings, and to return the arms
to those from whom they had been taken. As a •
matter of course the old 'Hungarian warrior would
not—could not—stand his directions being coun-
ter-ordered; he came dome to Beyrout, an explana-
tion ensued, and the only good soldier of high
rank in the province—the only man who, while
Turkish troops obeyed him, was looked up to
by Christians as well as Drums with the most perfect
confidence—bag sent in the resignation of his com-
mand, and retires to Latakia en disponibiliti.
I have before me the report of the operations of
the Be'ront Anglo-American Relief Committee and
its auxiliaries during the past week • and nobly as
the work of charity is carried on in this place, I see
that another appeal to the British public is consi-
dered necessary. Great as have been the contri-
butions received from England, and careful as is
the economy with which the whole machinery of
distribution is made to work, the committee has
not funds enough in hand to carry the starving
population of Lebanon over the winter, now so fast
approaching. Last week the number of adult
males who were relieved with daily food amounted
to 4,059 ; adult females to 5,227 ; children to 7,571;
total, 16,857. The number of garments distributed
by the ladies' committee amounted to 1,746 ; the
number of persona in hospital were 54. All this
involved an expenditure of about 1,0001. for
the week, although, with the exception of one clerk
and the necessary hospital attendants, all persons

services yetis. The balance in band, here and in
London, barely, if at all, exceeds 10,0001., so that,
even should no increase of the refugees take place,
which is improbable, there are hardly funds enough
in the bank to carry the committee over the next
two months and a half, or into the middle of
January, when the utmost severity of our Syrian
winter only commences. lam fully aware that the
English public has oome forward most nobly in the
cause of charity for this people; but it may be
asked, was there ever in modern history a calamity
which for magnitude could bear comparison with
what has passed before our eyes in Syria during the
last six mouths / The starving poor who daily re-
ceive their wherewith to buy a little bread from our
fund, are more than half as numerous again as the
whole division of soldiers at Alderahott. And as
the severity of the winter lemma, this starving
mass of humanity will grow larger and larger. The
French have brought large funds for the purpose
Of relieving the poor in Syria, but are going 4o
apply them all to the building of the villages
which have been burnt, and the establishing of
houses of refuge for the helpless children made
orphans by the late events. Of these orphans there
are in various places not lees than five or six
thousand. The Turkish government helps but
little, and that little without system or regularity.

on Wednesday last, George Darby, Esq., addressed the
farmers to the corn market room as follows :—" Gentlemen,
I know rosy well it is extremely incoovenieut to interrupt
the business of a market, but lan sure the subject, upon
which lam about to address you will be an apology. I
have received a letter from the Earl dChicbester, asking me
what course I intend to pursue in this great agricultural
district with respect to a monument to the late lamented
Duke of Richmond. I immediately decided that the proper
step was to come before you in a public market room,. atlll
inform you what I bare received, in reference to idling a
meeting." It is intended, we understand, to 'elm a cum•
mittee for the purpose of receiving subscription.
