TURIN. Sr. 1.
The Duke &Calamine, who is commander of the
Ultima guard at maples, arrived here last night.
He comes, it is 01, on an official mission to our
Fearritiment ; he comes to request that upon the
ore of the Bourbon, which is imminent,
o re should be given for the immediate landing of
some Piedmontese regiments in Naples, and of a
commissioner from Victor Emmanuel, with a view
to prevent civil war. Upon his arrival here the
Duke di Caianello happened to meet Count Cavour,
whom he recognised at once by his likeness to the
published portraits of the great man. The Count
could not conceive who it was that was looking at
him so attentively, and still less that it was a new
Neapolitan envoy. This morning, however, they
were able to look at each other more at leisure, for
they bad, it is said, a tolerably long and private
interview. The duke lust night visited Baron
Winapear, with whom he dines to-day. The baron
is now convinced that he is merely here for form's
sake, since he cannot possibly be the real represen-
tative of a government that has no longer any
existence. The double game attempted to be
played by De Martino, the head of that govern-
ment, has been a complete failure. He was too
well known before by his intrigues at Tangiers, and
by his notorious reputation as a smuggler at fun*
to be able to impose upon his colleagues and the
Neapolitan liberals, still leas upon our government.
The Count of Syracuse, uncle of Francis IL, is
expected here to-morrow. A royal villa is being
prepared for his reception, and there he will
reside for a few months. You are aware that
the Count of Syracuse married in 1837
Vittoria Luigia Filiberta, a princess of Savoy
Carignan, and sister of the Prince of Carignan,
who is now the King's viceroy in Tuscany. The
count comes home as it were to his adopted family,
and it is almost certain that he will lay aside the
name of Bourbon, to assume, with the King's con-
sent, the title of his wife, so that he will be also a
Prince of Savoy Carignan. He has no sons, so that
no objection on that score can exist. Although in
his youth the Count of Syracuse gave cause for
much comment little creditable to liunaelf, it is un-
deniable that since 1846 lie has been looked up to
by many liberals, to whom he rendered all the ser-
vice in his power, which was not very great,
being himself in very bad odour with the police of
Ferdinand 11., his brother. Since the year 1848 he
has been faithful to the liberal party. His since-
rity was suspected, and it was thought there might
be a secret compact between him ant his brother.
In like manner the world misjudged the sincerity of
the letters, full of prudent advice, which he wrote
to his nephew, upon the accession of the latter to
the throne, and assumption of the name of Francis
11. But his latest acts, and the letter I recently
sent you of his, show that he bad been acting
honestly. His good faith is demonstrated above all
by his coming here to Piedmont without soliciting
or accepting any office, such as a prince may hold,
though many persons erroneously suspected that he
wished to obtain one.

Several politicians are endeavouring to reconcile
Count Cavour and Signor Rattazzi. If the latter
statesman cannot alone at this moment form a
strong ministry, he can at least add a little strength
to Cavour's cabinet, the rather since he enjoys the
King's favour and has never come into collision
with Garibaldi. But, should Rattarai resume
office, he must not forget that he has been twice
rendered unpopular by the follies of his friends,
whom he planted in public situations, and by whom
he was unfortunately for his own fame surrounded.
Be may continue his friendship in private with
them, but as a public man he must keep himself
aloof from them as much as possible.

Let me return for a moment to speak of the
Duke of Caianello. They say he is going to Paris.
But since be has tarried a whole day at Turin, and
may perhaps linger here a day longer, although the
affairs of Naples are most urgent, it is but fair to
presume that the true object of his journey is not
Paris, or that he is in no hurry to go there and sue
for pardon.
Two more battalions of Bersaglieri are ready for
embarkation. When they reach the Bay of Naples
they will be at the disposal of the Marquis Pes
di Villamarina, the Sardinian ambassador.
Our camps of instruction are reduced to three ;
they were to have been five but for the existing
political complications.
The Emperor Napoleon has mean the expediency
of not opposing the present Italian movement.
General Lamoricibre has lost the whole of his
prestige by turning a Papal soldier. M. de Flotte,
the other republican chief, has lost his life iu
serving as a volunteer under Garibaldi. You are
aware that he was killed in the battle of Bagnara,
near Reggio, in Calabria. An ex-officer of the
navy, an ex-representative of the people, and one
of the chiefs of the insurrection of June, he was
one of the most inveterate adversaries to the Impe-
rial government.
Count Cavour is furious at an act of piracy com-
mitted a few days ago at the Island of bf ontecristo.
It was of a most daring character. A hundred
men or so, pretending to be volunteers on their
way to join Garibaldi, landed from a small steamer
and began pillaging right and left ; their chief
booty was made in the house of a rich Englishman.
Cavour has sent orders to our men of war to cap-
' tars that vessel, when the malefactors will be
treated with the utmost severity of the law. In-
formation of their conduct has been sent to Gari-
baldi, who, before they present themselves to him,
will know what they are, and will take care to
treat them as they deserve. By ordering them to
be shot he will rid the country of a nuisance, and
set a wholesome example. Being in a state of war,
he will be able to deal with them in a summary
fashion. _ .

We have received news, from which it appears
that the rage of the Bourbonist party is so great in
consequence of the defeat they have sustained,
that they are now, through the medium of some
of their influential chiefs, addressing proposals to
Prince Murat, inviting him to assume the throne
of Naples, which they would rather see filled by a
Frenchmaa than by Victor Emmanuel, whom they
have always hated. This is natural enough, for
his loyalty and military courage have contributed
more than anything else to discredit the vile and
treacherous dynasty of the Bourbons.
