The " latest news" of the Patric contains some
statements of interest, subject to the caution that
they seem to be written with • bias in favour of
the King of Gaeta and the parts adjacent. After
noticing the confirmation of the news that the
Piedmontese army had entered the Neapolitan
states, and mentioning the arrival of Victor
Emmanuel at Aacoli, a frontier town of the states
of the church, from whence he was to follow the
high road through the Abruzzi, the Pattie says :
It is thought that, owing to the bad state of the reads,
the Pledmontene troops will not reach Capita before the
18th or 20th of October. Till their arrival Garibaldi
Will attempt nothing new, contenting himself with
simply maintaining his positions. It reunite from
authentic documents that his looms on October
let amounted to 4,500 men, while that of the
royal troops was less. The latter are receiving nuwerous
reinforcements and are in a very strong position at Fondi,
near the Homan frontier. They are so placed that it is
impossible to turn their line and attack the works north of
Gaeta in the rear. General Cialdini, when he lately paid •
visit to General Garibaldi, accompanied by several staff
officers, bad an opportunity of seeing that the positions of the
Neapolitans were very strong. It it not thought that
the 25,000 Piedmonteee troops will suffice to invest •
plate like Gaeta and conduct • regular siege, and
the supposition therefore is that this army will
take up strategetical positions with • view to
prevent reinforcement& and provision from being

sent to the town, and that later, if other events
should oppose no obstacle to the plan, the Eardinian
army destined to operate in the kingdom of Naples
will be brought up to the strength of 50,000. Of
course before the siege worts can be commenced a great
battle must be fought with the Neapolitans, whose line is
strongly supported by the fortifications of the place. At
the last dates two Russian steam frigates had arrived at
Gaeta, to join a corvette which was already there.

The Patrie pretends that the French troops which
now occupy that part of the Roman States which
lie between Rome and the Neapolitan frontier are
everywhere received with cries of " Viva I'Em-
pereur," " Viva Pie " Viva la France."
The Pays admits, doubtless with a sly chuckle,
that France is at this moment a great stumbling
block in the way of Victor Emmanuel's operations.
It says :

The Pledosontase troops not being able to march through
Freeness and Terracina, in consequence of the Roman
frontiers being guarded op that skis by the French army at
occupation, must, perforce, go round by the Abruzzi; sal
this explains the delay in their coming up.
It follows from this statement of the Journal de
1 'Empire that if the troops which yet adhere to
Francis IL are encouraged to make a desperate
resistance instead of laying down their arms, which
they would have been very likely to do if the
victory of Volturno had been closely followed up
by a Piedmontese army, the suspense of Italy and
theadditional bloodshed will Lave been caused by
the inexplicable policy of the French Emperor.

It would be interesting to nee the instructions upon
which the two government journals write this
evening. They both betray au equally hostile
spirit to the Italian cause, but they are not at one
as to facts. While the Patric enlarges upon the
immense strength of Francis U. and the impossi-
bility of the forces of Garibaldi and Victor Em-
manuel united making any present head against
him, the Pays says that, although the King largely
rewarded the garrison of Capua after the battle of
the Volturno, the town is now "not sufficiently
provisioned, and on that account the troops do not
display so much energy in its defence as they lately
did." Accordingly Francis U. has definitively
quitted Capua for Gaeta, leaving his brother, the
Count di Trani, behind him.
While the Emperor, under the pretext of de-
fending the Pope, is flooding Italy with French
troops, to the great and manifest disparagement
and complication of the Italian cause, the Gazette de
Lyon publishes a letter from Rome, dated Oct. 5,
which says there is no doubt whatever that the
Pope is about to leave the Eternal City. Packing
kip, in the literal sense of the word, is the order
of the day at the Vatican. The Pope
declares his intention to leave Rome publicly, and
if the French General attempts to prevent him the
step will be nugatory, for in that case, says the
Pope, " I will appoint a substitute who will con-
duct the affairs of the church abroad, and my
gaolers shall hold nothing but the body of the
private individual, Jean Mastai." Such is the
important statement of a French journal, which is
liable to be prosecuted if it gives "false newt"
The Bourne was extremely firm, and the Rente
rose 40c., both for cash and Recount, closing at
68fr. 96c. and 68fr. 90c. Mobilier rose 12fr. 50c.
The Orleans Railway rose 18fr. 75c. ; Lyons, 10fr. ;
Northern, 6fr. 25c. ; Eastern, sfr. ; and Southern,
2fr. 50c. The great rise, in no way acted upon by
the English funds, which have not recovered from
yesterday's fall, is attributed to the anticipation
of a semi-official article in the Conditutionnel,
recommending a congress. This ...Idol*, iS Ir mad,
has met with much opposition iu the Council of
Ministers, but the meat has length at been issued.
It is expected to be severe upon Victor Emmanuel.

The French government have addressed a series
of inquiries to the Chambers of Commerce throughout
France, to obtain their opinion as to the adviaablenees
of anticipating the dates fixed by the commercial treat,
for the .dairies at the reduced duties of the various
clause of British manufactures. The Chamber of Commerce
of Rouen, well known ea a body devoted to the old re-
strictive rystani, has replied in favour of maintaining the
delays to their utmost extent. That of Boulogne, which has
always taken a most active part in the support and dissemi-
Britian of liberal commercial views, and is presided over by
Y. Adam, a leading member of the Commercial Reform
Associstios, has expressed its opinion that the prolongation
of the present period of transition and suspense is injurious
to all interests alike, and that British machinery and took
ought to be admitted at the reduoed rates forthwith, rug
all other articles on the 31st of December, instead of at
various intervals extending to the 3let of October, 1861.
Cardinal Antonelli was present at a grand diplo-
matic dinner given by the Baron de Bach, in honour of the
Emperor of Austria's birthday. The guests were 28 in
number, all repressintativea of foreign governmenta,
inclu-
ding the Hayti= minister and the three diplomatic non-
effective@ of Tuscany, Modems, and Ose4a. Towards the
toothlike of the dimmer the cardinal arou, with a eau of
champagne in his hand, to propose the health of the Em-
peror of Austria, adding, "Long may be be prawn-sod
fee the welfare of his subjects, and the triumph of tho cause
of order in Europe ," to which sentiment the Austrian
Ambassador replied with a kook " To the dounrenes Pontiff.
and all thou sovereigns who are well-wisher of the Holy
Eies."
