rantee the integrity of his Majesty's dominions on
the mainland, and prevent Garibaldi from effecting
a landing there.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The news which I sent you three days ago, that
the Porte had protested against any foreign, inter-
vention in Syria, and that the embarkation of the
French expeditionary force had been suspended, is
confirmed in all directions this afternoon. The
Prase, it is true, says in a P.S. that the answer of
Turkey has not yet been received, and that it is ex-
pected to be favourable, but the official journals
say nothing of the sort. BuUier's Correspondence
admits a rumour of the countermand of the expe-
dition until further orders, and says " this adjourn-
ment is a further proof of the extreme moderation
of the French government, which, carrying longs-
uimity to its utmost limits, has consented before act-
ing to listen to the opinions of foreign cabinets, and
to give them an opportunity of saying distinctly
whether they think the refusal of Turkey ought to
stay action, or whether the question of humanity
ought not to take precedence of all ahem" Not-
withstanding this delay, I doubt much whether the
Emperor will renounee the expedition upon which
he is entirely bent. It is just twenty years ago
since he came over to Boulogne with the tame eagle
under his arm to get up an insurrection against
Louis Philippe ; and the main ground of his faith
in that wild movement was that France would be
indignant at the hesitation of Louis Philippe's
government to declare war with England upon the
Syrian question of that day. It would damage him
considerably if he was now to give way himself.
The Pays has heard, but of course does not
guarantee the news, that a treaty between Austria
and Prussia has been prepared in anticipation of
the meeting at Toplits of this day.
The PICSIPC asserts that the King of Sardinia has
written an autograph letter to Garibaldi, urging
him to make a six months' truce with the King of
Naples. I doubt whether Victor Emmanuel can
have been induced to take such a futile step ; but I
am sure that Garibaldi will not comply with the
request

General Purr has written a letter, from Aix-lee-
Baing, in the Opinion Nationale, explanatory of the
difference between Garibaldi and La Farina, which
that journal, alleging its love for the Italian cause,
declines to insert.

It is announced that the brother of the Grand
Duke of Baden will come to Chalons on the sth of
August, to witness the grand manoeuvres that will
be executed in the camp under the command of the
Emperor.

The Bourse opened without any symptoms of
recovery from the extreme depression of yesterday,
and the Rente went even lower by 5c., but there
was afterwards a favourable reaction, which, al-
though perhaps attributable in some degree to
the firmness of Consuls which the telegraph brings
with arise of one-eighth, is said in the money
article of the Prase to be in no way connected
with the news of the day, but to be owing solely
to the state of the account. The Rents closed,
both for mall and account, at 68fr. 5c., with a rise
of 25c. Mobilier was firmer than could have been
expected under present circumstances, and rose
7fr. 50c. The Orleans, Northern, Western, and
Southern railways rose Mr. each, and Lyons,
2fr. 50e. ; Eastern was without change. Although
quotations are higher the amount of business done
was very limited.
A large banking-house at Granville, that of
Messrs. Campion and Theroulde, has stopped
payment. They are connected with the leather
trade. M. Campion is Mayor of Granville. The
Bank of France huldn their paper to the extent of
2,600,000 fr.

Hassan Ali-Khan, the Persian Ambassador, ar-

rived the day before yesterday at Rouen, from
Dieppe, accompanied by govern' persona belonging
to his embassy. In the evening the Ambassador
and his suite dined with the Freemasons of the
lodge in the Rue des Carmen, at which deputations
from Paris, Havre, F‘camp, and other lodges were
present.

ITALY.
Ir- 40-

ram out SPECIAL comursrosnm.)
GENOA. JULE 24.
A government must surely be near shipwreck
when friends and enemies alike desert the country
in spite of the granting of a liberal constitution.
Such is, however, the case with Naples. Your
special correspondent met on his way to Palermo
five Neapolitan officers who, after having sent in
their resignation, left Naples in order to join Gari-
baldi iu Sicily. The following are the names of
these five noble fellows who at this great crisis in
the affairs of their native country have not
hesitated for a moment to sacrifice their brilliant
position to the noblest of causes. They are Barons
Francesco and Michele Renzi, Count Conversano,
and Marquises Castro Balba and Camella. They
all held commissions in the Life Guard of his Sici-
lian Majesty. They told me that the sentiments
by which they are actuated, and which induced
them to leave their native country, animate the
great majority of their fellow-officers. It is, be-
sides, their firm opinion that as soon as
Garibaldi shall have set foot on the Nea-
politan continent, the so much talked of
royal army will melt away like snow in the April
sun. The Neapolitan navy is so much against the
King that the government dues not dare to employ
it against the conqueror of Sicily, nor does he dare
to use his fleet for transporting fresh troops either
to Calabria or the Abruzzi, lest it should bolt to
Palermo. In point of fact, there is no doubt
that the hours of the Bourbon dynasty are
now numbered, and that its complete ruin is
near at hand. Signor Manna, the envoy of
the King to Turin, seems to share this
opinion. and I am told that this gentleman
did not hesitate to say so to his intimate friends.
Signor Manna is an iutimato friend of Puerto, and
he has seen both him and Signor Devinceuri in
Turin, where the steady and determined patriotism
of these two Neapolitan refugees was not such as to
give him much encouragement. You may easily
understand how difficult is the position of Count
Cavour. On the ono hand, he cannot decline to
negotiate with the envoy of a so-called Italian
pnnce who so far humiliates himself as to seek
the alliance of that very sovereign who was so
despised at Portici only a month ago. On
the other hand, foreign diplomacy prunes upon the
Sardinian premier the acceptance of an alliance
which the Italian people condemn and abhor.
You must not be therefore astonished at hearing
that the great popularity Count Cavour eujoyed
only six months ago is, if not entirely gone, at least
greatly diminished. Garibaldi is the man of the
day ; and action, not diplomacy, is now wanted by
the Italians. This will explain to you how the party
which derived its name from Mazzini is now very
powerful in this country. Not that there is any great
propensity to republican principles amongst the
Italians : they are heartily attached to Victor
Emmanuel, fur they know that the Kiug galsta -
wets is the dearest friend of Garibaldi. But they
think that the day is corral for acting, and the King
himself, 1 hear, sham this opinion.
According to what I heard in an exceedingly well
informed quarter, on my passing through Turin,
Louis Napoleon is not very much against this po-
licy of action, which will strike a death-
blow to the King of Naples. We shall know
before very long whether the Emperor really
means what he says. I shall start for Pa-
lermo this evening on board the here, so
anxious am Ito reach Sicily. More than a thousand

volunteers will be my companions on the voyage.
Two thousand of these brave fellows sailed yester-

day in the Amazon for the same destination. As
you see, it is a regular crusade, of which Garibaldi
is the " Peter the Hermit." Even England is nobly
represented in it, for with me will sail this very
evening Captain Irwin who was adjutant of the
7th Volunteer Rifles, besides other Englishmen.
I hear that Kossuth is expected in Italy at the
end of this month ; and great are people's
speculations about the arrival of the Hungarian
leader. Were you here you would see what the
excitement of the Italians is like. Signor Bertani,
Garibaldi's agent in this city, is busy at work send-
ing to Sicily men, arms, and. money. He has esta-
blished a regular office, which is partly directed by
Count Pianciani, the well-known author of a book
upon the crimes of the Roman court.
