THE ITALIAN CRISIS.

(1,110/1 oen OUS COBRESPONDE-XT.I

PARIS, 9csn tiv E%E.NIN
The Privy Council, which only meets on very
extraordinary occa.sions, az.,enibleil at Jr.
to-day. The Empress was present. Of courite the
fearful step to which the Emperor IS cox imitthe6
France was the subject of discussion.
The Margin. Pepoli, charged with a mission
from the King of Italy, hail an audience with tl.e
Emperor this moniing before the council.
A paragraph ;riven u latest news in the Teniipi
rays that the French expedition has received
" provisional orders " to remain on board the ships
before Civita Vecchia, and not to land unless the
Pontifical troopashould be vanrlu ished by Garibaldi.
As to the Italian government, it is " for the present"
disposed not to oppose a French intervention in
case of need.

This latter news favours the supposition hugged
by the Bourse yesterday, that after all there is to
be a " cross."
The Pat rie has not the least confidence that
General Hembree will be more successful than
General Cialdini in the attempt to form a ministry.
All sorts of rumours come from Florence ; some
of them hint at Victor Emmanuel's abdication ;
according to others, Prince Humbert is to take the
command of the Italian army as " defender
of the rights of the monarchy"—whatever
that may mean. Various French papers say that
Garibaldi at the head of a large force is before
Rome ; that he is wounded ; and that he is killed.
A more certain fact is that telegraphic oomniunica-
tion with Rome is again interrupted.
That an attack on Rome by Victor Enunanuel's
army is considered by the Pope's defenders as on
the cards may be inferred from the assertion of
the France that s telegram received this day from
Colonel d'Argy, the commandant of the Antibes
legion, states that the Pontifical troops could hold
Rome 24 hours against the Italian army, and for
an indefinite time against the Garibaldians.
The following paragraph in the late speech of the
King of Prussia relative to the treaty of naviga-
tion with Italy, the text of which appears in this
day's Muniteer, is remarked upon, and justly re-
marked upon, as important :

The navigation treaty with Italy, which has met with
your approbation, will contribute to the consolidation of
our relations with a country to which we are united by
great common interests.
_ _ .

It is difficult to suppose that M. do Bismarck
used the latter words without maturely weighing
them.

The fleet at Cherbourg has received orders to
hold itself in readiness to sail. Whither ?

DESTRUCTIVE STORM.

LOSS OF LIVF.RPOOL SHIPS AND MANY LIVES.

A very heavy storm prevailed at Liverpool on
Saturday night and Sunday. In the course of Saturday
the following telegram was received at the Underwriters'
Room from the meteorological department of the Board
of Trade :—" Barometer has fallen very fast In north of
Scotland. Fall continues. Winds westerly, but not high
yet."

A Holyhead correspondent telegraphs :—" Two lament.

into Milford on Sunday, with bows stove and six feet of
water in the hold, having been in collision oIT the Small'.
