LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCS

PARIS, SATURDAY.

The Monittur of to-day says :—"Frince Napo-
leon wrote to the Emperor requesting him not to
order proceedings to be instituted in the affair of
the pamphlet entitled, ' A Letter on the History
of France.' It did not, however, appear possible
to accede to the wishes of the prince, and to inter-
rupt the course at justice."

THE ITALIAN CHAMBER.

TURIN, FRIDAY &IMMO.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
Liborio Romano defended the conduct of the Nea-
politan army.
General Bixio declared that as the chamber
favourably received the speech which he pro-
nounced yesterday in reference to the southern
army, the Garibaldian officers of superior rank,
and those who were deputiea,resigned their military
titles. General Bixio proposed an order of the
day, insisting upon the forts being armed, even if
they should be occupied by the national guard.
He said :—" The army should speedily number
300,000 men, and the parliament should vote all
the necessary supplies." He concluded as follows •
" When we have obtained such an army we shall
be able to resist everybody."
Garibaldi proposed another order of the day,
drawn tip in the following manner :—" The cham-
ber expresses its gratitude to the Garibaldian
officers who were appointed by decree of the
Dictator, and although it leaves the ministry at
liberty to organise volunteer corps, and to call
them out at opportune times, requests the ministry
to re-construct and maintain the southern army."
Signor Cugia supported the d ecree ordering the
formation of three divisions of volunteers, and op-
posed the proposition of Garibaldi.
On quitting the hall with the deputies, Count
Cavour was cheered by an immense concourse of
people. A similar demonstration was afterwards
made in honour of Garibaldi. These manifesta-
tions were expressive of the desire of the people
for a reconciliation between Garibaldi and Cavour.

The rumours of the resignation of Count Csvour
are without any foundation. The result of yester-
day's debate and the attitude of the Chamber of
Deputies are, on the whole, considered favourable
to the government. All parties applaud the words
of concord which were uttered by Count Cavour
and General Birk). Garibaldi has declared himself
satisfied. The excitement has abated.

blished everywhere.

The New York Times of the 6th, says :
The intelligence from Charleston looks warlike, and in-
dicates that a collision is likely to take place at any mo-
ment. The reports which have necked there relative to
the movementa of the administration have mated mush ex-
citement, and the feeling appears to be general that war is
inevitable within a short time. Generel Beamnprd, who
L erledrday morning before sunrise proceeded to Monis'
oe bogies, connected with the batteries there
located, is understood to hays declared that Major Anderson
and his command must either evacuate Fort Sumter or be
shelled within forty:eight bows. The report that the
supplies for the garner. bad been out off by authority is
JOrrotoetted by the Charleston papers.
The Southern Commissioners, now in Waahimt,on, still
express a belief that a peaceful policy will prevail, though
their sincerity may with propriety be questioned, in view of
all that is transpiring. On the other hand, they as
that if the policy of the administration is the enforcement
of the Federal law, the seceded States are ready to resist
to the bitter end.

- The iiie;iiments in the army and navy departments, which
WINO developed yesterday, created considerable excitement,
and gave übitable evidence that the government have in
view important plans touching the military posts and re-
venue stations in the seceding States. The United States
steam frigate has been fully equipped for sea within three
days, and sails to-day at noon. She has been provided with
a large quantity of flied ammunition for twenty-four sod
twelve-pounders, boat howitzers, and shells and shot for
her 9, 10, and 11-inch guns. She carries several carriages:or
boat howitsers, and all the available boats that can be
mustered in the yard, which will supply transports for 500
men at ore. Her list of officers, most of whom reported
for duty yesterday, embrace 11 lieutenants, the ship'e
complement being only four. Captain Samuel Mercer goes
out in command. The steam-ship Atlantic, of the North
Atlantic line, has been chartered by the government, and
extraordinary diligence has been used, night and dav, in get-
ting her ready for sea, accommodations having been *fitted up
on board for over 600 troop. She will be ready to sail at
an early hour to-day. Besides this large steamer, the Illi-
nois, of Vanderbllt's Havre line, which wee to have sailed
to-day, has been taken up by the government for the same
the Atlantic. Circumstances indicate that the
;Orval 1111
ten has been detained to convoy the two steamers to
their destinatioo, which of course is only known to the
government, all the vele els sailing under sealed orders.
The Atlantic, it is reported, has been provisioned for about
sixty days.
The New York Herald says :
Our latest accounts from the capital assert positively that
the administration, yielding to the pressure of the war
section of the republican party, has determined to blockade
the Mississippi river, and if possible, collect the revenue
at that point from on board ship. The vessels of war now
p for era are intended to co-operate in this design.
In the Virginian State Convention resolutions,
expressing an earnest desire for the re-establish-
ment of the union in its former integrity, had been
adopted.
An amendment, proposing that an ordinance of
secession be submitted to the people, was rejected
by a vote of 89 to 45.
