PARIS. San'ILDAT
A new question, and one which occupies a pod
deal of public attention to-day, is what fresh
annexation France is likely to claim as a counter-
poise to the purrible annexation of Sicily to Pied-
mont. A statement in the Lofipendance, that the
Emperor personally told Lord Cowley that in
the given eventuality be should require " some-
thing " is supper.' to have contributed materially
to the heavy fall at the Bourse noticed below. It
kart been very much remarked that the Par,
which was at first wild with rage against Garibaldi,
just like the Patrie, has now considerably changed
itd tone. It does not yet openly approve of his
expedition, but says that all its correspondence
predicts its success, and it is kind enough to add I
that whatever may be the result there will be no
branch of the existing friendly relations between
France and England. There are people who go so
fat as to say that the French Emperor, relying, I
suppose, upon the " compensation," whatever that
nosy be, which he means to have, is at this moment as
little opposed in reality to the success of Garibaldi's
Lesion as Victor Emmanuel himself may be sup-
posed to be. The Pageterresponclence admits that
the prestige of Garibaldi'' name upon the !WWI is
truly extraordinary, and it offers as an excuse for
Oount Cavour's alleged connivance with his em-
barkation that it would have been impossible to
bave prevented it without a collision between the
general's volunteers and the Genoa police.
It really appears from the following proclamation
to the " Soldiers of Italy," which appears in the
florricr. .If•rrantale, that the King had need 14 his
influence to keep the Piedmoutese army within the
bounds of discipline:
doidiers of Italy, —For many age. discord and wont of

An extract from a private letter written by Gari-
baldi makes the following extraordinary dis-
closure

I was on the point of making the King acquainted with
my project. He himself admitted to me, with the admix..
sage franker., which distinguishes him, that in order to
attain unity Italy required to be freed from the rotten We)
ways of ministerial diplomacy. I did not go further foe the
moment. I did mean to tell him all about it a few asp
before my departure, but I must have gape to Bodges to
see him, and I really had not the time. Ilesidea. I thought
it more prudent on the whole to keep the secret from him.
Be would have prevented me from going forward, and I
could not have meted an order from such an unique and
prefect King (mose° e per*to). I conld not think without
reimport upon the fact that the Sicilians had been waiting
for as for a month, and 1 overruled every other ccusideni.
iltni to 11, to their succour.
The Cannier du Diesarichs says that as soon as
the news of Garibaldi's departure from Genoa was
known in Paris St Thouvenel wrote despatches
both to Baron Talleyrand, the French minister at
Turin, and Chevalier Nigra, the Sardinian minister
at Paris. The substance of these despatches was
as follows .—M. ?hoarsest' had no hesitation in
stating that the Emperor's government bad been
painfully affected by the news of Garibaldi's expe-
dition Without in any way meaning to hold the
Sardinian government as directly responsible for
this in every way regretable event, M. Thouvenel
could not but consider that it was due to " most
extraordinary negligence" on its part. After draw-
vitriking picture of the calamities likely to
result from Garibaldi's adventure, he calls upon
Count Carrier for full and frank explanations.
These explanation, have been given. Count Ca-
your declares that he as strongly disapproves of ,
Garibaldi's expedition an 1 ourencl osn do.
The King's government has done all that it reason-
ably could do to prevent it. Count Caronr Lcd not
neglected any of the hints which M. Thouvenel had
been kind enough to mend from Paris on the subject.
Garibaldi had yi.dded to his remonstrance'', and bad
promised to defer his departure for Sicily. The
news that his expedition had actually embarked
was as great a surprise to Count Cavour as to M.
Thouvenet It would, therefore, be most unjust to
bold the Sardinian government responsible for the
rash act of Garibaldi Count Cavour adds that
the King's government had stopped the second
expedition which was to have followed Garibaldi.
He therefore relies upon the equitable feeling od
M. Thoovenel not to infer that there is the least !
solidarity between the circumspect and moderate!
policy of the Sardinian government and the adven-
turous projects of Garibaldi.
The Coorrier thinks it may affirm that the
Yrencl government has expressed itself satisfied
with !he above explanations.
At the Bourse the Rente suffered the heavy fall
rd 36c. for cash and 40c. for account, closing at'
69.99 in each case. Mobilier fell 6.25. Railways
were comparatively firm, and only declined to the
extent of 3f. or 41.
The Minister of the Interior has prohibited the
