It is quite settled that Prince Jerome will be
interred at the Invades on Tuesday. The ques-
tion of the immolation of the body to St. Denis, at
a subsequent period, is reserved. The vault com-
manded for the imperial family in the cathedral is
not yet ready. The lying in state at the Palais
Royal will commence on Friday. The public will
be admitted without tickets. On the day of the
funeral the Bourse and the theatres will be closed.
The procemion will, according to the Pattie and
the Pays, "follow" the line of the Rue de Rivoli.
But this announcement is inoorrect, if it be true,

as stated in the latter journal, that it will cross the
Place du Carrousel and gain the Invalid, by the
Pont Royal. In that case it will merely cross the
Rue Rivoli, opposite the Pali& Royal. The na-
tional guard has been warned to Bank the whole
line of march, and the entire army of Paris, com-
manded by Marshal Magma, will take part in the
ceremony. Half-boar guns will be fired from six
o'clock in the morning, and twenty-one guns will
announce the respective stages of the departure
from the Phials Royal, the arrival at the Invalidee,
the Elevation of the Host at the funeral, and the
layering of the body into the grave. The Church
of the Invalides will be entirely hung with black
for the occasion. In the vault prepared to receive
the corpse there lie already the remains of Prince
Jerome's eldest son and the heart of the Primes,
Caroline of Wurtemburg, his wife.
The Patrie, in a prominent paragraph, complains
that the Gazette de France announced Prince
Jerome's death in small type.
The denial of the Monifeur that the government
has any intention to raise a new loan, although
given in unqualified terms, whereas it was expected
to be dilatory, was so far discounted yesterday that
it produced no effect whatever upon the Bourse to-
day. Many people still think with the Rapes-
deuce Beige that, whatever may be present " inten-
tions," there will be a loan before the end of the
year. The Rente, after opening at 68fr. 75c., be-
came very fiat, and closed for account at yester-
day's prioe-68fr. 65c. For offish there was a rise
of 10e., the last quotation being 68fr. 70c. Mo-
bilier fell Ur. 25c. The Orleans Railway rose
3fr. 750., and Lyons, lfr. 25c.; Southern fell
2fr. 50c.; in the other principal lines there was no
change. The business done in all descriptions of
securities was extremely limited. A very positive
statement that the government will not augment
the issue of treasury bonds produced no effect.
M. Nieman, the most celebrated tenor in all
Germany, arrived in Paris to-day to make arrange-
ments for his appearance in Wagner's new opera,
Tanhatiaser, which, however, is not likely to be pro-
duced before January. M. Nieman, who has
never yet been heard either in Paris or London, has
obtained two years' leave of absence from the King
of Hanover.

The Moniteur publishes an imperial decree,
officially appointing the Abbe Maret as Bishop of
Vannes, as already stated, but which is dated the
25th ult. This delay between the nomination and
the publication of the decree would seem to show
the extent of the difficulties which were at first
thrown in the way of the nomination by the court
of Rome, in consequence of the new bishop being
well known for his decided attachment to Gallican
principles.

TURIN, JUNE 23.

A Neapolitan frigate with despatches from our
government is expected this morning at Genoa,
and it is said that it will also bring au envoy extra-
ordinary from the • of Naples. Our minister,
the Marquis Pea di V' • has sent a tele-
gram to Count Cavour, informing him of these in-
tentions on the part of the Neapolitan government,
but it appears that he did not know what proposals
would be made. It is stated that they will be in
accordance with the advice which the Emperor
gave Be Martino in the remark, " You have
mistaken your road • you ought to go to Turin."
I believe, however, that it will not be certainly
known till to-night what the Neapolitan envoy
rosily comes for. If, as is stated, he is charged
with a mission of conciliation, the thing !tar t
time of day is simply ridiculous. For the rest, all
the news from Naples indicates that the court wishes
to gain time without making any change of system,
confiding a good deal meanwhile in the diplomatic
and military assistance of Spain. In this it will
find itself mistaken. It is true that Spain anything
but sympathises with the present Italian movement,
and that being governed by Bourbons and priests,
she would like to see Bourbons and priests every-
where, in her ignorance that it is exactly these two
elements that ,neutralise whatever constitutional
rights exist in the Spanish peninnula. Piedmont
has made more progress in ten years, with liberty,
than Spain in forty without it ; but Piedmont is
fortunate enough to have no Bourbons. But
though the Spaniards may not be advanced enough
to perceive all this, it is quite idle to expect that at
a moment when Austria herself does not venture
to violate the principle of non-intervention, Spain
would either dare or be permitted to do so. But
the fact is the King of Naples, finding his case
hopeless iu the eyes of all sound political advisers,
catches greedily at any quack's nostrum that is sug-
gested to hint.
In the meantime our government has renewed
its protests against the illegal capture of the Utile,
and the consequentlyillegal detention of her pas-
sengers, whom the King of Naples has sent to the
Ellt:rrin"t iheispif aliusdoninza'onte Warelkie.ly re°mm
Ame-
rican consuls, too, have informed their government
of the insult to the stars and stripes.
I have said above that Austria does not venture
to violate the principle of non-intervention ; I
ought to have said that she does not venture to
violate it openly, for she does not stick in the least
at many things that are a virtual violation of it.
I have just received a letter from Ancona, written
by a person who, from the office he holds, has access
to the best information,
_and he gives the following
news respecting the Marches. Observe that he
does not speak of Umbria, where things may be
altogether difierent.
A field battery has arrived hero •• a present from the
Ducheim of Parma. The officer who commands it proforma
is a Parmesan, but all the rest are Austrians, Sid to not
understand their chief, and consequently obey a esptaia of
their own, who is the real commander. There has also
come from Venice a quite new battery of twelve pow,
having 1869 marked upon it, and with black arid yellow
wheels. It is served by Austrian soldiers in the Palma
uniform. Besides these there came yesterday by
the steamer from Trieste two hundred soldiers, fifty
of whom and two officers were in complete Austrian
uniform. Among the Austrian officers who have arrived at
Anomie there is one perfectly well known, since he was aide-
decamp to General Hopis, who was in garrison here. Four
regiments of riflemen, amounting to 800 men altogether,
ustria. There are 900 Swim at Urbino
sad here, from
here,duringthe last few days, we have been favoured
with the preemies of 150 Irish and Belgians. To-day it is
announced that in the course of the week there are to cone
from. Trieste fifty cannon of large calibre.
I shall communicate this letter to our govern-
ment, in case it should not have received such exact
information from any other quarter. Our govern..
ment is most scrupulous in the observance of in-
ternationalduties, notwithstanding all that has been
said about its permitting the volunteer expeditions.
It could not prevent these without an inquisitorial
and meddling interference inconsistent with time
personal liberty guaranteed by its laws. At any
rate, not a single Sardinian uniform has been seen

rt

ly, though fin intervention of an Italian
nett on moil would be far more wi-
thal' Austrian intervention in any quarter

(wit Michele Ainari has gone to Genoa for a
day or so on private business • on his return he
will take up his residence here as official repre-
sentative of Sicily. He has chosen for his secretary
the Sicilian exile, Avvocato De Pasquali, a literary
man of some note, and author of a popular play
called Maione.
To-day the few Sicilians who still remained here
left for their homes after eleven years of exile.
Among them are men remarkable for wealth or
birth, or high ability. But, as is natural, there are
one or two less conciliatory and temperate than the
rest. There is Professor Ferrara, for instance, who
is somewhat distinguished as a political economist,
but who from his restless, discontented, satirical
disposition is more likely to create discord than
that harmony which is essential to our triumph
over our enemies. On the whole 1 think the Sici-
lian exiles are men of higher qualities than the
Neapolitan, though among the latter there are
many very fine characters.
A book has just appeared here, by Francesco Car-
rano, and entitled, I Csociatori delle Alpi."
The heroic deed just accomplished by these men in
Sicily gives a peculiar interest to an exact narrative
of them doings in the war of last year. At the
end of the book there is some mention of their
Sicilian exploits, which could not be well left unno-
ticed, since t 6 shed back a lustre on their pre-
vious career. The name of this body of men will
be immortal in the history of Italian independence.
A third expedition of 4,000 men is being pre-
pared, of which I shall write more fully
soon. The Washington, tho Franklin, and
the Oregon, which conveyed Medici to Palermo
returned to Cagliari on the 20th, and after
staying there a day, left for the Ligurian coast.
Many who had given up military service have gone
to Sicily on hearing that there was a great want
there of officers of all grades. We hope that by
this means an army may be organised there with-
out impoverishing ours, of which at any moment
we may have the most urgent need. We must be
prepared at all points, for our enemies are sleep-
less, and have by no means given up the game.

THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY.

(71031 OMR 0W77

NAPLES, Jos! 21.
After posting my letters yesterday I was walking
through the Largo Castello, when an officer stopped
me, and putting into my hand a copy of the latest
clandestine journal and the following address, said,
"Read them when you get home." The address
runs thus :

Neapolitan Soldiers,—We do not rejoice in your digesters;
very dear to us is every drop of Italian blood, and deeply do
we sorrow that a fratricidal war has been necessary in Sicily
for the holy cause which we support. Not content with
seeing the great Italian family divided into little states, our
oppressors have desired to,m.ke you look upon the brave in-
habitants of Sicily as strangers and enemies. But from this
side of the straits (Sicily) no pretext could be found oven in
the narrow arm of the sea for refusing to acknowledge us as
children of one family. The blood which would be
shed here would certainly be yours, of relatives and
friends, whose hands you now grasp
Shame and contempt on those few officers who, contamina-
ting their uniforms, descended to the base office of police-
men, arresting in the Toledo and injuring unarmedyouths,
excited to a manifestation of joy by the announcement of •
national triumph ; and who with the air of bravoes are pro-
voking honest and peaceable citizens in the streets. But
such is tide handful of cowards. We confide in you
soldiers, and in your chiefs, that you feel your bosoms warm
with a holy national love. But if we are deceived in some,
let them know full well that in spite of them the redemp-
tion of Italy will be completed, and one sole cry will echo
from the Alps to the extremest coast of Sicily, Viva
!'ltalia! Viva rlntlependensa !

Tei GMRAL colnurrxr.

I believe that this placard has been generally
distributed, but whatever effect it may produce
amongst the officers, it will affect the soldiery but
little, who from education or non-education are
little better than brute beasts, and are loyal upon
5 grauis a day and the privilege of plunder. Still
from one cause or another there is a great spirit of
disaffection in the army, and I do not think it can
be depended on ; if not in Sicily, much less so on
the mainland, where reside their fathers and
brothers—those to whom they are bound by the
strongest natural and domestic ties.

Everything indicates the near approach of dan-
ger, or the suspicion of it. Yesterday a flying
brigade was sent off to Bagnori, Pozzuoli, and the
Lago d'Aguano, consisting of two battalions of
Chasseurs, a squadron of cavalry, and a regiment of
the line. It was accompanied also by a battery of
artillery. The idea is that there may be a disem-
barkation on the coast near the capital, and indeed
the government gives out that the expedition which
was captured on the 11th was intended for this
neighbourhood.
There hail been a rumour of " something" in the
Abruzzi for the last twenty-four hours, either a
landing of volunteers, or a conflict between the
troops and the people. What it was, or what its
proportions, I cannot make out. The royalists
give out that everything is adjusted and the coun-
try is saved ; but for that very reason I am inclined
to believe that we are farther than ever from an
adjustment—indeed, there can be but one solution
to inspire the nation with confidence, and to give
any hope of the future.
The more I hear of the manner in which things
were conducted at Palermo, the more am I per-
'traded of the cowardice and incompetency Of it
was not treachery) of the Neapolitan officers, and
of the ruffianism of the troops. Whilst the former
concealed themselves often and sent forth their
troops without commanders, the latter gave them-
selves up to plunder, and their officers in many
casts were not ashamed to participate in it, or at
least to purchase. 1 hear of one man, on the
authority of an officer, who has diamonds in his
possemaion to the value of some thousands of
ducats. The military vice-intendant at Palermo
declares that his magazines, which were full of
stores, were plundered by the Neapolitan soldiers,
and that the archives were burnt by the same men,
so that he cannot make up his accounts.
It is calculated that 56,000 ducats were in his
hands, and the disaster may be to him a most satis-
factory one. In fact, faith has disappeared from the
country, fur the tendency of the priestly and
polio° government of the Bourbons has for many
years been to sap the very foundation of morality
and to whitewash the loathsome sepulchre.
From Messina, under date of the 18th, we hear
that several embarkations from the mainland had
taken place, but that the garrison had received no
accession om Palermo. Desertions continued,
notwithstanding the severest precautions, and the
closest guarding of the gates, and the prohibition
to the military to leave the city. From Catania
we hear that in Biancavilla the country people had
taken vengeance of some of their old persecutors.
Calabria was quiet. The Neapolitan government
had decided that all goods which had been em-
barked should be exempted from duty on being
again landed in Porto Franco. The duties of Sicily
were refused in the province of Mesaina and within
a few miles of the city.

MASSACRE BY PlRATlM—Advisee from Shanghai,
April 16th, report that intelligence from Ningpo atates that
" another lorcha, the Cleopatra, was taken by pirates
98th March, at the mouth of the river at Wangehow, and
all hands supposed to be murdered." From Singapore,
under date 14th May, we learn that the Netherland Indian
'argue Fatul Karim, with 500 tons on board, was totally
destroyed by fire at Teruate 7th April. Pirates are again
beginning to make their appearance in the seas of the
Archipelago. Accounts keying been received at Batavia
that they hail been observed in the vicinity of Barman, three
steamers were immediately sent out in search of them.

THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

The following circular has been issued this day
by the Secretary-of-War to the Lord Lieutenants
of counties :

" WAz Orrica, JUNE 27, 1860.
" I have the pleasure of enclosing a copy of a
General Order, in which his Royal Highness the
General Commanding-in-Chief has been authorised
to express ber Majesty's admiration of the soldier-
bke bearing of the volunteers reviewed by her
Majesty in Hyde Park on Saturday last, and the
deep impression made upon her mind by the
loyalty and devotion evinced by the volunteer force
throughout the whole country.

"In communicating this document to you,
and requesting you to enclose copies of it
to the commanding officers of the various
corps in your county, I avail myself of the
opportunity to express to you the high grati-
fication with which her Majesty's government have
witnessed the rapid success of the volunteer
movement, and the degree of efficiency to
which the corps present at the late review have
attained.

"The zeal and public spirit of the volun-
teers have added a new and valuable element to
our means of defence, and have earned for them
the approbation of their Sovereign and the grati-
tude of the country.
"I have, in conclusion, to convey to you the
thanks of the government for the assistance
which you have afforded me in the raising
and organisation of this force, and for the
zeal with which you have discharged the onerous
duties which have devolved upon you in connexion
with it.

" I have the honour to be,
" Your obedient servant,

" Her Majeety's Lieutenant for
the County of
