ANCONA.

ANCONA, Om 1.

General Lamoricdme, wishing to empress his ad-
miration of the bravery of the Sardinian fleet, has
offered to surrender to Admiral Porsano. The
Admiral sent him a small boat, and ordered the
whole crew under arms to pay him military honours.
The Admiral also offered his own cabin to the
General, who was deeply touched by these
courtesies, General L►moriciere will embark on
board the steamer Count Cavour, which will carry
him to Genoa, whence he will proceed to Turin.

THE BOURBONS.

BERLIN, 0(7. 2.

The Spanish government has addressed to the
different Powers a note supporting the protest
issued by the King of Naples when retiring to
Gaeta. The Spanish note recalls that, by the
treaty of the quadruple alliance of 1718, the King-
dom of the Two Sicilia* had been coded by
Austria to the Spanish Bourbons. This cession
was afterwards confirmed by the treaty of Vienna.
The article 114 of the final act of Vienna having,
wider the guarantee of Enrope, again sanctioned
these stipulations, the Spanish government consi-
ders it its duty to maintain in the most formal
manner the rights of a member of the august
family of Spain, and to raise every opposition

against the flagrant violation of solemn arratige-
mente. The Spanish Minister at Berlin has re-
mitted this note to Baron von Schleinitz.

General Count Menadorf, who has left for
Coburg, has been deputed to convey to her Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria the condolences of the
Austrian Court on the occasion of the demise of
the Dowager Duchess of Coburg.
The report that Count Mensdorff would also in-
vite her Majesty to an interview at Munich is
unfounded.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM OOR OWJ CORRESPONDLYT).
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENINU.

There is a lull to-day in the news of Garibaldi
All that we learn of him is that in a general way
ho is quite disposed to be friendly with Sardinia,
and that he Las asked General Cialdini to lend him
artillery to go ou with the siege of Capua. This
assistance is the more necessary, because two of
Garibaldi's mortars are said to have burst. It is
believed that the request will be at once complied
with ; but it must be borne in mind that the King
of Sardinia has hitherto done nothing to commit
himself, in a legal and diplomatic sense, to an
attack upon the Two Sicilies, and the French go-
verameut journals are, even this evening, very care-
ful to deny the report that any Piedmontese troops
have yet passed the Neapolitan frontier.
Intense curiosity is felt to know the course that
will be taken by the Piedmontese parliament,which
meets this day. I hear that Count Cavour intends
to propose—First, the taking possession of the Two
Sicilies ; secondly, a reserve in regard to Rome and
the ancient patrimony of the Romans ; thirdly,
the adjournment of the annexation of Venetia. The
debate is expected to last three days, and it is be-
lieved that M. Rata:xi and his party will vote with
ministers.
It is given out that the Pope's speech at the
Consistury will be kept secret till October 5.
The Afeviager du Midi gives the following not un-
important news :
M. Benedetti, director at the mini.iry of foreign affairs,
will embark at Marseilles on Sept. 30 for Alexandria. It
is said that the object of his voyage is political.
Is he going out to buck the Isthmus of Suez
scheme
The contradiction of the news that the body of
General de Pimodan had been sent to Fraime, and
the assertion that, according to the will of the de-
ceased, he was to be buried in Rome, seem to have
been untrue. The Prvyres of Lyons announces the
arriTili of the remains at Marseilles on Sept. 3(1,
and states that they were at once forwarded to
Paris. . . . .

Cardinal Riaro Sforza, Archbishop of Naples,
and the Archbishop of Castellamare have arrived
in Paris. . _

The Bourse has again been exceedingly firm.
The Rents rose 20c. both for cash and account,
closing at 68fr. 05e. Mobilier rose Bfr. 75e. The
Orleans Railway rose Bfr. 75c ; Lyons, sfr. ;
Northern, 3fr. 75c. ; Eastern, 2fr. 50c. ; and
Western, lfr. 25c. ; Southern was without change.
The very unlikely news was circulated some time
since, and being uncontradicted was generally
accepted as true, that the citadel of Messina, being
on the point of surrendering to Garibaldi's troops,
the commandant, General Pergola, suddenly
changed his mind in consequence of a communica-
tion from a captain, of a Prussian man-of-war,
which, it was taken for granted, emanated from
the Prussian government. The fact is simply that
the Pm/elan vessel Loreley was the bearer of a
despatch from King Francis U., begging the
governor of Messinsto hold out as long as possible,
and the liberal press of Berlin, assuming that this
service was rendered at the instigation of Count
Perpouchor, the Prussian Minister at Gaeta, com-
ment very severely upon the meddlesome act.
The Passage Mires, a ucw arcade named after the
celebrated financier who has constructed it, is now
open to the public, and most of the shops in it will
be doing business by next week. This passage runs
from the Rue Richelieu to the Boulevard des Its-
liens, and will bo very convenient to foot pas-
sengers, since it cuts off the always crowded angle
by the Caf6 Richelieu on the Boulevard. The en-
trance to the passage in the Rue Richelieu runs
through the building which was formerly the Rotel
des Princks. The Maureeque diuing-room, built at
an immense expense on the model of a room in the
Alhambra, will now form pert of a cafe which
promises to be the most splendid in Paris.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF MESSINA.

(fox OUZ owl CORRESPONDIXT.)

NAPLES, Barr. 26.
You will have already heard of the renewed
bombardment of Messina, and I regret that I have
been unable to send you earlier the important
official letter which you will find below. It is
dated Messina, Sept. 24, and runs thus :
" I asserted in my last that there was no secu-
rity here so long as the citadel was held by the
royal troops, and the bombardment of yesterday
confirms the correctness of my opinion. The
arrival of a French steamer from Gaeta conveying
information of the defeat of Garibaldi before the
walls of Capua is supposed to have incited this
renewal of hostilities. The affair commenced with
a tight between the advanced guards, which conti-
nued from 3} p.m. to 4 p.m., when the citadel
opened a fire of grape and round shot. I am unable
to learn the number of killed, although it is asserted
that it could not have been serious.

" It is possible that the bombardment was for the
purpose of preventing a regiment of Sicilians going
to Naples' as they were embarking for that city
when the affair commenced ; it did not, however,
deter them from leaving. lam afraid we shall
have great trouble from the citadel, for at present
there is uo
_probability of its surrendering. Last
evening a Neapolitan officer was arrested in the
city; it is presumed he came as a spy, as he was in
plain clothes.
" Half-past 1 a. m.—This morning there was more
fighting upon the Terra Mote, but no further can.
nonadin".
"Half past 9 a.m.—Fighting renewed upon the
Terra Mots ' • the Neapolitans have retreated behind
the walls of the citadel, and are firing volleys of
musketry.
" Half-past 11 a.m.—The citadel is at this
moment firing upon the city ; a bomb shell fell on
the marina, and I saw it picked up by a soldier.
The greatest excitement prevails in the city, and the
people are rushing through the streets in every
direction.

"This moment, half-past 1 p.m., the captain
of the French ship, the Imperial, together with
the consuls, and the captain of the English
steamer, the Scylla, returned from an inter•
view on neutral ground with the general com-
manding the royal troops. The general ex-
cused his firing on the city by saying that he had
been first fired on by blunderbusses.' He, how-
ever, took a new engagement not to fire on the city
without giving timely notice to the foreign consuls
to withdraw with their families and to clear the
port of all foreign vessels. The general has so often
violated his word that no confidence is placed in
his promise, and numbers of persons are leaving
the city, and there is a renewal of the scenes of last
spring. One round shot was this morning thrown
into the house of the Prussian consul, and several
other buildings were injured. Several shots fell
in the cathedral during divine service. The gene.
ral commanding the citadel expressed this morning
his firm belief that Francis H. would be on the
throne of Naples again in less than two weeks.
The troops which left this port yesterday are
bound, not for Gaeta, but for a point between
Gaeta and the Roman frontier."

You will be surprised to hear that yesterday
Bibles And New Testaments were exposed for sale
in the Toledo. They were diamond editions, of the
12m0 form, and were printed in England, so that
our country may boast that indirectly, at least,
she has begun the great work of the religious
reform of the country. How it will progress it is
impossible to say ; but should civil liberty be con.
firmed, there can be no doubt but that religious
liberty will follow.
The committee will have to collect funds for cha-
ritable p and the Dictator placoa at their
disposal 3707aucata belonging to the Jesuits, and
35,000 ducats belonging to the sequestered funds of
the royal family.
