PARTY,. WEDNEADAT EVTICINO.

I believe that my information of yesterday—that
the conferences on the Syrian question were broken
up—was altogether correct. There is reason to
think that one of the main causes was au unex-
pected split between Franco and Russia. Russia
claimed on ibis occasion the execution of certain
promises which she conceived the Emperor lusl
made some time since, in pursuance of which the
entire eastern question should be raised on the first
opportunity, and, in fact, insisted that the moment
had arrived for the partition of Turkey. Russia
was ready to send 100,000 men to make a short end
of the business, but had no notion of a re-
stricted intervention in Syria. It did not
suit the Emperor's purpose to come into this
scheme—at least just now—and therefore, only so
lately as Sunday last, be wrote the letter to M.
Persiguy, protesting his wish to keep the status quo
in Turkey as long as possible, and even not to send
out an expedition to Syria at all if he could excuse
himself to public opinion in France.
It is remarkable that the Moniteter, in announ-
cing the military convention at Messina, says no-
thing either of the negotiations or of the agreement
that Agosta, Syracuse, and Messina were to re-
main in the occupation of Naples. These omis-
sions of important circumstances, dwelt upon by
the Pays and Pattie last night, tend to confirm the
views of the Opinion Nationale. Moreover a telegram
has been received, stating that on July 27 General
Clary's force in the citadel of Messina did not con-
sist of more than 2,000 men, and that the rest of
his army had embarked for Reggio and Naples.
The fact, therefore, seems to bo,that he has no idea

of holding either the citadel or any other place in
Sicily, and that the armistice, so far from being
a symptom of Garibaldi having given way to the
pressure put upon him, has only been concluded
in order to give the remnant of the Neapolitan
forces time to evacuate the island completely with-
out further bloodshed.

The Pays and Petrie, which all last week were
wont to make a great splash iu their "Latest News"
about intervention in Syria, have to-night nothing
whatever to say. _ _

I have a private letter from Italy stating that an
insurrection in the Marches, which will very pro-
bably bring General Lamoricibre to the test, may
be considered as imminent. M. Ricasoli came hur-
riedly to Turin from Florence, in obedience to a
telegraphic message, to consult about this serious
matter. He has gone back again, and his instruc-
tions are supposed to be not in any way unfavoui-
able to the movement.

The Proyris de Lyon, a provincial journal of
some reputation, says that there will be an extra-
ordinary session of the Corps Legishitif in October,
for the purpose of voting a loan, measures relating
to the newly-annexed provinces of &goy and Nice,
and a bill for abolishing warnings and communiques.
In giving this news the Proyris adds, " without
endorsing the first part of this intelligence, we
hope the second may be true.'
The Bourse was better under the influence of the
Emperor's letter, the text of which has been sent
by telegraph from London. It is now considered
doubtful whether the Syrian expedition will take
place at all. The Rente rose 25c. both for cash and
account, closing at 68fr. 40c. and 68fr. 45c. Mobi-
her rose 7fr. 50c. The Orleans Railway rose 10fr.;
Northern and Lyons, 31r. 75c.; Eastern, 2fr. 50c.;
and Southern, lfr. 25c. Western without change.
General Turr arrived iu Paris this morning from
Aix-les-Banui, where ho has been staying for the
last three weeks for the cure of his wound. He will
remain here but three days, at the end of which
time his intention is to sA out for Sicily to resume
his command.
