PARIS, FRmAT Evenico.

Much uncertainty prevails as to the conditions
of the further extension of the armistice, which
appears undoubtedly to have been agreed to in
Sicily. The Patric says it is prolonged till June
20, and will be further extended if circumstances

should require it. The following, says this journal,
are " said to be the bases of the negotiation which
has been spoken of : It has been settled in principle ;
Ist, that no power shall interfere in Sicily by force
of arms ; and 2nd, that in no case whatever shall
hostilities be recommenced at Palermo." The

above intelligence is neither very new nor very
exhaustive ; it leaves the question—what is to be
done for the moment 1 quite open.
The Pays calls attention to the following letter
from Turin as important :

Turin, June 6.

Certain news has acquired great credit to-day. It is
seriously said that a project is on foot for separating Sicily
from Naples by calling to the Sicilian throne the half
brother of Francis IL Liberal institutions would hereafter
prevail in the two kingdoms, which would contract an al.
fiance offensive and defensive with Piedmont. This com-
promise, to which Piedmont certainly could not object,
would be accepted by the European cabinets. If the
question could be settled in this way, it is pro-
bable that Garibaldi would congratulate himself upon
the immense result obtained, and would cheerfully
obey an order of recall from Victor Emmanuel. Piedmont
would derive a greater benefit from such a settlement than
any other power. It is not therefore to be wondered at if,
as we are today assured is the case, Count Caronr has
given his adhesion to proposals relative to this arrange-
ment.

I have no faith in the news of the Pays, but it is
• bad sign to sec the desperate device of the
Naples Bourbon, in his last extremity, adopted by
the French government journal. There are dan-
gerous intrigues going on.
. . . .

It is asserted in the latest news of the Conrrier
de Poke that Id. La Farina, the president of the
Italian National Society, who it has been incor-
rectly said was about to join the Piedmonts.e
ministry, has gone to Palermo to assume the civil
government of the island, under the dictatorship of
Garibaldi

A Naples letter, of June 1, says that one of
Garibaldi's aides-de-camp, Colonel Carini, was
wounded by a shot from the citadel, while walking
towards the sea shore, during the armistice of
the 30th and 31st. thuihaldi, it is stated,
bitterly complained of this breach of faith,
which, however, one cannot but hope was acci-
dental. This news has a painful interest to me,
for I know the gallant Carini well, and dined with
him not long since in Paris, where he amused his
leisure as a refugee by conducting a journal called
the Cowrie? Prance-/tolien.

The Bourse was spin heavy. The Rents fell
20c. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing (ax div.)
at 681 r. 20c. in each case. Mobilier fell ler. 25c.
Railways were 2fr. or 3fr. lower.
When the agitation for the annexation of Savoy
to France was still young, there appeared in the

340-.
1180.

Moniteur •a petition to the Kmperor, bearing
amongst other signatures of Savoyards eager to
become Frenchmen, this curious one, " Berthier,
Jive en disponibilitr—the literal translation of
which quality is "a judge out of place." The hint
was somewhat gross, but the author knew what he
was about. He has not missed his mark. The
Moniteur of yesterday contains the appointment of
the identical K Berthier to a mastership of re-
quests of the first class in the council of state—a
place worthl6.ooofr. a year.
The Daily News was seized to-day for the first
time for many weeks. Since Mr. Cobden has been
in Paris, the confiscations of the English news-
papers have been leo frequent than formerly.
According to the Journal des Travaux Public°,
160 more millions are about to be borrowed for the
improvements of the city of Paris.
The latest reports from the prefects dwell upon
two subjects, as especially calling for the attention
of government—the probability of a bed harvest,
and the really fearful stagnation of trade.
