Geneve has been the faiourite place down to a late

At eleven o'clock this morning a funeral mass was
celebrated in the cathedral, for the Italians who fell
at the battled Novara. The solemnity, which his
been repeated every yerr since 1849, attracts, under
present circumstances, a special interest. Crowds
collected from all neighbouring parts, and the t=
became so great that the apace within the
edifice could not contain them. Vast mambas bed
to stacd nut.ide the gates, and the open space is
trout of the church wee completely Lied. All the
ministers attended except the Minister of War. The
concourse of ladies attired in deep mourning was
very great ; these having assembled an hoer before
in the equate of San Carlo, followed in procession
the National Guard, aid they in tern were followed
by the etudents of the University, who carried their
banner. Ihe train was closed by the tombs
belonging to the Society of the Fine Arts. A few
deputies and senators stayed away.
The book that was on the eve of publication at
Florence. when seized by order of the minister
Lsnducci. has now appeared, and several copies have
reached this city. It is signed by Bianchi, Corsi,
Ciempini, the Marquis Ricasoli, the !fugal' Rid' olfl,
who are the gentlemen composing the committee of
• publishing society called Della Biblioteca
deli' Italiano. In this book, as I stated to you,
appear the charges brought by the Tuscan people
against Austria, as well as against their own govern-
ment. No personal attack is made on the Prince in
its pages.
Two hundred Taiwan volunteers arrived here yes.
terday 'wooing a thousand are expected in all. The
Prince Carman, who bears the title of Duke of Laja-
tiro, has published a letter, in which he discusses
the three lines of conduct open for the Tuscan go-
vernment in the present state of aft:tin : to observe
centrality, to declare for Austria, or to pronounce for
the national cause and Piedmont. He easily proves
that the tirst and second suppositions are impracti-
cable. so that the third line is the only one that can
be taken, and he implores the Prince accordingly to
unite his forces with those of Sardinia. This publi-
cation. of Conies has made a deep sensation, and
leas been praised as an inimitable example of civil I
courage.
The Chamber of Deputies will mum it. /Misr
on the 2lith instant. The only important debate
likely to occur will be on the "pensive balance" of
the Stater. The new code of civil proceedings, still
in the hands of a committee, cannot be laid again
this year before the whole house.
