EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, THIIIISDAT

The despatches of the day are on the face of them
unfavourable to Garibaldi's cause ; but as they are
all oonfessedly eesssimaiested by the Neapolitan
government, which steads convicted of habitual
falsehood, they are not entitled to the least credit.
It is no doubt possible, however, that the seal of
the partisans of the Sicilian cause may have be •
frayed them into exaggerations of the success of
the insurrection ; and, putting all things together,
it may be admitted that it is doubtful whether
Palermo was taken on the 21st. The Petrie men-
tions, " under all reserve," an assertion that so
late as the 22nd the royal Sag was still
floating on the citadel. I have reason
to know, however, that at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs the utter discomfiture of
the King's troops is not thought doubtful. The
Opinion Nationale, which hitherto has had very
good information, gives as the very latest new'
that Garibaldi is totally master of the situation, is
proclaimed dictator, and has appealed to universal
suffrage in favour of the annexation of Sicily to
Victor Emmanuel's kingdom. The assertion of
the Neapolitan embassy here that there is no
longer "a single insurgent in Sicily" is interpreted
in an oracular sense. When "insurgents" are
I undisputed masters of a country the appellation
maws to be applicable to them.
I call your attention to the following ominous
pump in a Turin correspondence, of May 21,
in the Pays :
The rumour which begins to circulate that overtures
have been made to Piedmont to join the Franco-Russian
alliance, relative to the settlement of the Pastern question,
is particularly flattering to the amour propre of this coun-
try, and tends to become the leading subject of political
debate among us. Another rumour, which has pined
continually-increasing credit within the last forty-eight
hours, and according to which Austria also w.ll come into
the alliance, suggests to many minds the joyful hope that
the cabinet of Vienna will perhaps before long give up
Venetia, in exchange for a large concession of territory in
the East.

Although the above paragraph probably ex-
presses wishes rather than facts, it is especially
worthy of note that a French government journal
recognises the existence of the Franco-Russian
alliance, which has been strenuously denied.
A letter from Chateaubriand (Loire Inferieure)
affirms that catholic Brittany—the old Armories,
the country of the Chouans--has furnished but
nine volunteers in all to General Lamoriciere, al-
though he himself is a Breton. If these things are
done in a green tree, what shall be said in the dry f
If Brittany canvassed furnishes but nine soldiers
for the holy war, what must be the pervading sen-
timents in France generally ?
At the Bourse the Rente opened with some firm-
ness ; business was very dull in the middle of the
day, and there was decided weakness at the close.
