PARIS, FRIDAY EVIIILNG.

The Emperor continues, with wonderful success,
to conceal his real policy with regard to Italy. Be-
yond the great and persistent fact that he keeps
his hold upon Rome, there is nothing in his recent
acts which does not give scope to a double interpre-
tation. To a vulgar observer the much heralded
article signed Boniface, in this morning's Consti-
linionael, will appear an unequivocal condemnation
of the invasion of the Neapolitan states by Piedmont.
It will probably appear to many—as I must confess
it does to me—as the tip of tho cloven foot which
the Emperor has so long wonderfully contrived to
conceal. A " candid appeal " to Europe upon a
point on which be knows that there is little
probability of Europe coming to an agree-
ment may be only a pretext for a keeping
order" in Italy until Europe takes the
decision which Napoleon 111. assumes that it
must come to. On the other hand the Italians in
Paris are in nowise disconcerted. They still con-
tinue to believe in the Emperor, parcequ'il ut si
diseiniul4, and they say that as he allowed his pro-
gramme of Villafranca to go to the dogs, am he did
nothing effectual against the annexation of Tuscany,
Parma, and Modena, as he winked at the invasion
of Sicily and the Neapolitan states by Garibaldi,
so he will confine his opposition to the present
phase of the progress of the Italian cause to empty
words. "He is forced," they say, "to simulate a cer-
tain deference to the catholic party in France, but
at bottom he is with us," I hope this confidence
may not Do misplaced, but I wish there were fewer
French troops in Rome.
The legitimists say positively that M. de
Grammont promised the Pope 90,000 men to de-
fend his states, and that relying upon that promise
Lamoriciere was quite unprepared for Cialdini's
attack. Letters purporting to bear out the above
accusation aro handing about the Faubourg St.
Germain, and even read from the pulpit. It is pro-
bably by way of reply to this charge that the
Patric says, in its latest news, that it was impossible
for France to have aided the pontifical troops at
Castelfidardo, because its forces in Rome at he end
of last month consisted of only 6,000 men, which
ware not more than enough to protect the person
of the Pope.
The Bourse has again been good. The Rente
has got over the point of 69fr., closing, with a rise
of lk. and 25c., at 69fr. 10e. and 69fr. Ik.
Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c. The Southern Railway
rose sfr., but the other lines were rather lower.
The French and English Plenipotentiaries signed
la new convention in furtherance of the commercial
treaty at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The ungenial character of the season continues
with remarkable persistency. After a very few
fine but not warm October days, we have had
48 hours' soaking rain, which has completely
crashed, in many districts, the small hopes that yet
remained of something like a vintage. To-day it
is dry, but there is a wintry wind which brings out
the great coats, and no house is comfortable without
fires.

In consequence of the bad weather I have not yet
paid a second visit to Vincennes, but I hear that
the national shooting match is far and away a
greater failure than I bad anticipated. The sparse
company which I saw on Sunday was, it appears,
relatively numerous because it was Sunday, but
there have been fewer people all the week. A
friend of mine on Tuesday was for some time
the solitary spectator of the prowess of four per.
formers, of whum three were English and une
French.

TURLY. O. 9.

The Minister of War, General Fanti, havingre-
turned from Central Italy after the capture of
Ancona, appeared yesterday for a short time on the
ministerial bench during the debate upon the
recent measure proposed by ministers. His ap-
pearance was greeted with loud and prolonged
iwplause in the body of the hall and in the galleries.
The cheering interrupted Signor Ferrari, ono of
the opposition members, who for a moment fancied
the cheering was intended for himself, but soon
learned that the chamber had only marks of dis-
appmval for him. General Fanti has again left
for the purpose of entering the kingdom
of Naples. Two more Sardinian battalions
have already landed at Naples, and others will
land to-morrow, Garibaldi having asked for these
reinforcements. He now sees that he did wrong in
listening to evil counsellors, thereby giving Ltane
and opportunity to Francis 11. to reorganise a part
of his army. The battle of Caserta has shown
Garibaldi also his error in not rapidly occupying
Naples with a division of our army. Everything
there would have been over by this time, an there
would have been no anarchy, no terrorism. We
are in the mournful belief that among
the victims of the fight is numbered the
Count Charles Arrivabene, your correspon-
dead with General Garibaldi. The latest private
letters and the Neapolitan newspapers tell us that
since the engagement of the Ist inst. that young
and gallant gentleman had not been seen. Three
thousand were killed or wounded on our side. The
lose on the part of the Bourbonista was not less;
in addition they left in Garibaldi's hands six thou-
sand prisoners, part of whom, for the sake of
greater security, and as the sign of a better under-
standing with our government, he has sent to Genoa.
By the same vessels we have sent back field artil-
lery and some Bersaglieri. Victor Emmanuel at
the same time has entered the Abruzzi at the head
of twenty thousand men, amid the enthusiasm
of that population, and a very few days
after the 15th of this month will arrive
at Naples. Some of our battalions will also land
to-morrow in Sicily, to put a stop to the frightful
anarchy there. In this way our government is
fulfilling its mission of pacification? and re-estab-
lishing public order whilst promoting the national
interests. It is exalting the nation once more, and
removing from Europe many causes of disturbance.
The remainder of our army, which had entered
Umbria and the Marches, is now falling back on
Parma and Piacenza, so as to be nearer the Aus-
trian frontier, where soldiers are arriving from
Germany. A warlike symptom has been per-
ceived in a recent order said to have
been sent from Vienna to the Austrian offi-
cials in Venetia—that of sending away their
families to Germany. Whenever Austria has pre-
pared herself for war in Italy she has always fol-
lowed this system, hastening on the conscription
before the regular period, enforcing her police
regulations with pester rigour than usual, and
sentencing a few to death by way of inspiring
terror—this being her mode (fallacious as it has
often proved) of preventing internal revolution

In speaking but now of the victims who perished
in the sanguinary battle of Caserta, I forgot to
mention the name of Colonel Maleuchini, &Tuscan,
who was wounded, and is since dead, if the news
received to-day be correct. He was a good soldier
and citizen, one of the few who since 1848 has
shown that the Toscana could have acted as gal-
lantly as in the middle ages, provided they had had
a bold and enterprising government, and not one
studious of keeping them confined to effeminate
pursuits. In this great revival of the Italian
peoples the youth of Tuscany will resume their
manly exercises, and, emulous of the more northern
provinces, will inure themselves to hardship? so that
in a quarter of a century hence there will be no
better Italian soldiers than themselves. Nor will,
they lose by this their superiority in the fine arts,
for which they have been so long prepared by
indulgent nature.
The French journals contradict the news that
Lamoriciere's portfolio—l ought rather to say
carpet bag—has come into the possession of the
Piedmontese generals. Their contradictions are
devoid of authority. The papers—and very important
they are—have come into the bands of our govern-
ment. The reason why they are not published is
because it is inexpedient to aequaint our enemies
with the exact extent of our knowledge.
