TURIN, Acorn 20.
Signor Canofari, the representative of Francis H.
at our court, was to have presented his letters of
recal to the King yesterday, and to have left the
same night for Paris. He has, in fact, left. It is
not yet known who is to succeed him, but in all
probability Francis 11. will not have need much
longer of representatives at all, and our ministers
will become instead the true representatives of
Naples before many days are over. Signor Canofari
has bad an inventory taken of his effects, which
are shortly to be sold by public auction. He leaves
behind him neither debts nor enemies—no small
praise for a Neapolitan representative at the court
of another Italian state.

mtsiecting Garibaldi's excursion to the island of
na and to Cagliari I am now in the pease,-
lion of more precise information. Certain republican
chiefs under the advice of some one or another,
but collected by Dr. Bonsai, wanted to in-
vade the States of the Pope, without caring
whether Garibaldi had forces sufficient or not for
his undertaking against Naples, and utterly indif-
ferent to the inury it would inflict on the national
cause. Garibaldi went to bring these refractory
persons to their senses, and has taken them with I
him to Sicily. Signor Martini, it seems, bad had
an interview with the chiefs in question at Genoa,
and the disunion resulting from that conference
soon became visible. As in 1848, his pre-
sence blights Italy's prospects. The catastrophe
at Novara was in a great measure his handiwork,
for the entire Austro-clerical party 00-operated
with him, and since then he has not grown wiser.
His party is now, in addition to other difficulties
thrown in our way by the absolutists, embarrassing
lux as it did twelve years ago.
The French have now occupied the fort of
Lecillon, which was ceded to them together with
Savoy. It had been hitherto held by our Berea-
gliert The priests of the surrounding district,
being rigid papists, had forbidden the peasantry,
under pain of excommunication, involving the re-
fusel of absolution, to convey provisions to our
soldiers in the fort, the reason they alleged to the
people being that all the Piedmontese were excom-
municated. It required all the force of discipline
to prevent the soldiers from severely hand-
ling some of these sacerdotal fanatics. After a
few days, however, the sellers perceived that
they were making money very slowly, and
were losing six hundred customers merely
to please the Pope, who they had heard
has always a very good appetite of his own. Why
should they starve, thought they 1 So arithmetic
soon drove theology out of the field, and snapping
their fingers at excommunication they pound with
supplies into the fort.
While the ministers were sitting in ()Dwell this
morning, under the King's personal direction, a
despatch arrived, I hear, which announced that a
revolution had broken out in the province of Basi-
licata, in the kingdom of Naples, and that a part of
the troops had fraternised with the insurgents. The
King said, gam given to understand, to Cavour,
" It appears the Neapolitans are waking up ;" to
which the minister replied, " I shall believe they
are awake when Garibaldi sleeps at Naples."
Judging by all the intelligence we receive from
Naples, it strikes us that if a revolution does break
out there, it will be in the form of a military
revolt, just as it was in 182 L The Neapolitans
have too little anon:, ; they have been too long
demoralised to brave dangers for a generous idea.
Individual brave men are of course to be found
there, capable of sacrificing themselves for the
cause, but the people have no collective courage,
simply because no man trusts his neighbour. How
different froth a Piedmontese, who knows he will
not be left in the lurch by another Piedmontese,
and at any rate not by his King. The Italian of
the south thinks be is sure to be abandoned
in case of danger by his countryman,
and by no one sooner than by his King. The con-
trast is complete. This will enable you to under-
stand a good deal of what is going on in Naples,
where singly men are brave, collectively cowards.
Instruction at the great military camps will com-
mence on the bit of September. The most impor-
tant manoeuvre* will come off in the plains of
Lombardy, within the province of Brescia, pre-
cisely where the Austrians manoeuvred the year be-
fore last, and indeed often previously.

The official Gatafte of Turin publishes the follow-
ing circular, addressed by M. F, rani, Minister of
the Interior, to the governors and intendants-gene-
ral, under date of August 20 :
In the circular of the 13th instant the undersigned,
Minister of the 'lnterior, declared it to be the intention of
the King's government to prepare the formation of the
corps, consisting of volunteers from the National Guard, in
the manner prescribed by the laws. Wishing now to
realise this project, the undersigned invites the governors
and intendants-general to give, with scrupulous care, the
necessary orders that in each government office and district
board registers may be opened fur the enlistment of volun-
teen pursuant to the regulations laid down in the law of
February 27, 1859, and in the regulation rel►tive thereto,
approvedby royal decree on the 6th of March of the same
year. To this end it will be expedient to take care
that the manifesto prescribed by the 22nd article of the
aforesaid enactment shall be published in every town by the
mayor. In that manifesto, the necessary conditions are
specified fora valid enlistment, and in particular the con-
dition that volunteers shall not be under 18 years of age nor
more than 35, and that they shall have no engagement for
the military service.
From the Ist of September next to the middle of
October, the governors and intendants-general will provide
duplicate lists of the volunteers of the province enlisted
each week. One of these hats is to be sent to the Ministry of
the Interior, and the other to the Meant of Inspection,
which will be determined in concert with the Minister of
War, by whom the necessary depOts for arming and clothing
the men will also be provided. The undersigned depends
on the constant and efficient co-operation of the provincial
administrative authorities to the end that brave young men
answering the appeal of the King's government and millet-
ing in large numbers into the several volunteer corps
destined to be the auxiliaries of the national army, may
concur in increasing the strength of the same for the de-
fence and greatness of the country.
