ITALY.
FLORENCE, Sept. 2.
In an audience held yesterday, the King accepted
the resignation of Signor Lauza, Minister of the
Interior, nominating in his place Baron Natoli,
Senator, at present Minister of Public Instruction.
His Majesty also accepted the resignation of the
Secretary-Generalship of the Ministry of Interior,
presented by Signor Zini.

The Nazione counsels the Ministry to expedite
the elections, and when they are concluded to sum-
mon Parliament to meet without delay. It is
desirable: that the present precarious state of
things, displeasing alike to the Ministry and the
country, should not be prolonged. It is time that
constitutional life should recommence its normal
action, that in the new seal of Government Par-
liament should establish the course demanded by
the national interest.

The same paper points out the fatal error that
would be made by any Ministry seeking support
from the former parliamentary majority. Such an
error caused the fall of the Ratazzi Cabinet. " The
Ministry," continues the Nazione, "have but one
way before them—that of drawing up a distinct
programme, explicit upon all the great political,
administrative, and financial questions which
agitate the kingdom. They should loyally receive
as friends all who support, and with the same
loyalty treat as adversaries all who oppose them.
We expect the Ministry to follow this wise and
honest policy."
The Giornale de Napoli contradicts a rumour that
the Italian Government had paid the 50,000 ducats
for the ransom of Mr. Moens from the brigands,
and points out with reason that the Government
would not have done for a foreigner what it does not
do for its own subjects and taxpayers.
Letters from San Severo to the 27th ult., pub-
lished by the Naples Italia, give a very distressing
account of the condition of that town under the
prevalent epidemic. The writer says :—" Truly
147 cases and 63 deaths in the course of 24 hours in
a town, the population of which is reduced one half
by emigration, is a sad number. We were already
short of doctors and nurses when the epidemic be-
gan to decrease, how much greater must now be our
need when the malady has suddenly assumed greater
proportions than in the worst days of previous
mourning." It is folly to use reticence respecting
the terrible condition of San Severo, San Micandro,
and Manduria. The whole truth should be told,
in order that we may better know how to remedy
our great misfortune. May God grant that the
isolated cases that have occurred at Foggia, Torre-
maggiore, Poggio Imperiale, and San Paolo di
Civitale may not be the forerunners of a visitation
of the epidemic."
Up to the 27th ult. there had been 676 deaths
deaths from cholera at San Severo. From the 30th
ult. to the Ist Sept. 134 persons were attacked in
that town, 62 cases being fatal. At Ancona the
epidemic continues to decrease. The sanitary con-
dition of Naples continues to be very satisfactory.

SPAIN•

MADRID, Sept. 2.

The interview between the Spanish and French
Sovereigns will take place in the Consistorial Palace
of San Sebastian, which is now being decorated for
the occasion.

Many grandees of Spain have been invited by the
Queen to accompany their Majesties in their visit to
the Villa Eugenie.

According to the Epoca an excellent understand-
ing exists between Queen Christina and Marshal
O'Donnell. Her Majesty's political opinions tend
to the complete reorganisation, on constitutional
ground, of the great Monarchical Progressist and
Liberal Conservative parties.
The policy of non-abstention continues to gain
ground among the Progressists. At a meeting held
in the Conservative Club on the evening of the 29th
inst., one of the hitherto most ardent supporters of
abstention declared himself adverse to continuance
in that policy.
The recent manifestation of Senor Madoz in the
same sense is likely to be followed shortly by a
similar declaration on the part of another important

signing the management, Senor Rubio publishes an
article which is at once a protest against Senor
Olozaga and a formal recognition of hereditary
monarchy as represented by the reigning dynasty.
The schism in the party on the question of leader-
ship is now fully developed, and much curiosity
prevails relative to the course that will be
adopted by Espartero, under the circum-
stances. Many Progressists rejoice rather
than otherwise at the turn matters have taken, con-
sidering that this question must sooner or later have
arisen, and might have been brought forward at a
more dangerous juncture. Espartero and Olozaga
would never, it is believed, work harmoniously
together, and the question will now be finally
decided in the next Committee.

In an article reviewing in discouraging terms the
financial condition of the country, the Epoca prints
state that although 800 million reals wererealised in
the months of May and Jane, the floating debt has
not been reduced in equal proportion notwithstand-
ing ample resources voted by the Cortes to relieve
it. The article concludes as follows :—" The Cortes
will reassemble within a few months, and it will
then be indispensable that the real state of the
Treasury should be clearly and thoroughly set forth.
A true balance-sheet must then be presented, show-
ing the exact amount of the deficit, the measures
most expedient to liquidate it, and the reforms
necessary to insure the equilibrium of receipts and
expenses in future. If the next Legislature closes
without having settled in a definite manner the
question of finance, which is now possible by abne-
gation and patriotism, difficulties will arise which
all who are interested in the prosperity of the
country should seek to avoid.

Prince Amadeus arrived at Granada yesterday
morning, being received by the GovQrnor, Mayor,
and other authorities. He would probably leave
that city for Madrid this morning.
