"EitlNcE MICHAEL TO FALL ETJS,SELL.

" Belgrade, June 29 (July 9), 1862.
" My Lord,—The Government of her Majesty the
Queen is aware of the violence and aggression of
which the Servian people have recently been the
victim. At a time when my officials were making
every possible effort to maintain orcler and ensure
the public tranquillity, a bombardment, without
example in history, in defiance of ali laws human
and Divine, without any warning, without oven
any motive, as has been agreed by the consular
body, threw terror into the population, and trans-
formed the capital of my country, the centre of the
commerce and wealth of all Skasvia, into a decricd
and ruined town. The fruit of so much labour, the
fortunes of thousands of families have bean de-
stroyed and lost; a city hitherto prosperous has
been driven backwards 20 years, and God alone
knows how and when it will be possible to repair
this great evil which has conic upon us in the midst
of profound peace, when,
and under the guarantee of the European powers,
we thought ourselves in
" True, my lord, to all the laws of
good faith, I
did not hesitate to repress thenatural
enthusiasm
of my people for their brethren of the Herzegovina
and of Bosnia, and even to make
sacrifices trying
to my feelings (douloureux a mon occur) with the
sole object of failing in no respect in my duty of
loyalty to the suzerain, and of preventing ulterior
complications and disasters.

last brigand shot, the Issteactionn

driven from the country. Napoleon bit' his lips
but there was nothing for him to do but swallow'
and grin, when lo! now forward comes Garibaldi,
and in his train revolution and Mazzini, the Red'
Republic and Heaven knows what b. sides ; and, if
that were not enough: the craven Italian Govern-
ment sues for mercy, and hurries to the throne of
its mighty ally, urging that the big child, Italy, is
calling out for the moon; that the moon it must
have, or it will smash all the windows and set fire
to the curtains ! " Hoe erat in roll's" Napoleon may
say. " The nurse has lost all control upon the
fractious child ; a schoolmaster and ferule must be
provided for it. The Italian Government are no
longer masters of the situation. The work for
which they have showed themselves unfit must be
done for them."

It is well, I think, that not only Italy, but
Europe also, should look seriously upon the pre-
sent
state of affairs in Italy. Napoleon, I always
believed, meditated the occupation of Southern
Italy, and is now very near the accomplishment of
his long-cherished design. Should the present crisis
pass without any such catastrophe, Italy will be safe
to all eternity. If the child can go unscathed
through the Garibaldi fever, as it has gat over the
brigand measloa, and ao rattily othpr infnnfirn com-
plaints, his chances of full growth are the very best.
The rumour of Garibaldi's landing in Calabria is
again gaining ground to-day with sufficient consis-
tency. The supreme moment has come. Dio pro-
tegga l' Italia !"

" In acting thus, my lord, I was very far from
thinkiug that the ruin of the town of Belgrade and
the lamentable consequences which result from it,
would be the recompense of such conduct,

" I beg your lordship to judge yourself whether
it is possible for Servia to resign herself to so des-
perate a:fate. Can the Government of her Ma-
jesty the Queen leave the country a prey to con
tinual terror, at the mercy of the most simple
accident, or even of pure chance ? Can it,
above all, undo the work of humanity and civilisa-
tion which it has, up to the present time, in com-
mon with other powers, guaranteed and encouraged
in Servia ?

A letter from Turin, dated August 17, says :
I have told you that a priest and pretended dema-
gogue was arrested in Naples ; that a letter directed
to Cardinal Antonelli was found upon him, and
that he attempted to commit suicide in prison. I
now send you the letter :
" Eminentissinao Signor Cardinale,—lt is of
little importance to the happy issue of the business
I propose to you, in the interest of the church of
Italy, that I should set forth the motives which have
determined me to use the very great influence I pos-
sess in the party of action for the purpose of making
that party the unconscious instrument of a crisis
which will carry us once more into the ways of right
and order, to be re-established on the bases
traced by the treaty of Villafranca. Briefly, then,
to arrive at these results, the only ones which can
reconcile the interests of the present situation with
the past, and those of the Church with the exi-
gences of progressive civilisation, I proceed to lay
my plan before your Eminence, telling you frankly
that if it be not speedily accepted religion and the
country will be lost together. It is expedient to
stimulate republican passions against Piedmontism.
A revolution in this sense is ripe in Naples. Let

"1 should fear to trespass too long on your at-
tention, my lord, in submitting to your considera-
tion all that I have to say on this important subject.
The government of her Majesty the Queen also, is
acquainted with my claims. I confine myself, there-
fore, here to a special appeal to the kindness of your
lordship in favour of my just complaints, and to a
prayer, through your mediation, to the government
of her Majesty not to leave Servia in this extreme
danger without her powerful assistance. The secarity,
the peace, and the happiness of a million inhabi-
tants depend for their safety upon the arrangements
that the government of Great Britain is called upon
to make, in common with the Sublime Porte and
the guaranteeing powers, for preserving Servia and
the general peace of the Ottoman Empire from such
catastrophes.

" In earnestly begging your lordship to give your
powerful support to the cause of my country, I pray
you, &c.,

the friends of the past make a show of supporting it
energetically. It is expedient to let the revolu-
tionary torrent widen and overflow in the act of
laying hands on the French ; this will frighten Na-
poleon, and he will be forced to change his policy,
and resolve in earnest that the treaty of Villafranca
shall be a reality. The mode of applying the condi-
tions of that treaty to the exigencies of the present
time, and according to the modified situation of the
several Italian States, will be matter for future dis-
cussion; for the present, what is necessary is to give
a helping hand to the disorder which is to bring
back order.

" M. W. OBRENOVITSCII."

"EARL RUSSELL TO PRINCE MICIIAL OBRENOVITSCH.
" Foreign Of July 23, 18G2.
"Prince,—The government of her Majesty the
Queen have heard with great concern the events
which have taken place at Belgrade.
" It appears that an attack was made by the Ser-
vians on the gates of the town, occupied by the
Turks in virtue of ancient usage and recent treaties,
especially the Treaty of Paris of 1856.

" Two of these gates having been carried by as-
sault, the consuls persuaded the Turks to evacuate
the remaining two, in all four gates. But no sooner
had the Turkish residents left their houses than
those houses were plundered by a disorderly mob.
" For the pillage and disorder no redress was
offered by the Servian authorities, and the next
morning muskets were fired at the garrison in the
citadel.

Furthermore, it were well that your Eminence
should clearly understand that Venetia must be go-
verned separately by an archduke ; that it will be
expedient to adopt a system sincerely federal and
constitutional, of which Rome will be the centre,
and to reform the discipline of the church through
the prompt convocation of an ecumenic council. If
your Eminence will confide in me I will guarantee
to give you here complete revolution. Ido not wish
to be in direct communication with any of the par-
tisans of King Francis ; it is enough that they be
instructed that when the moment of action is come
they are to supply the aid of persons who shall not
excite suspicion amongst my partisans. Here those
blessed Bourbonist committees make very gross
blunders, and squander so much money to no pur-
pose.

"Upon this occurrence the Pacha took the alarm,
and, unadvisedlyand, as it appears to her Majesty's
Government, unjustifiably, bombarded the town at
intervals for four hours.

" It is no wonder that peaceable inhabitants were
seized with panic and left the town.

" But so far as her Majesty's Government are
informed, these lamentable events had their origin
in the violation by the Servians of the relations
established between the Sublime Porte and Servia.
" Your Highness assumes merit for not having
joined in the insurrection of the Herzegovina.
Your Highness deserves the credit of having in that
respect shown regard to the obligations of good
faith.
" If your Highness will, in the same spirit, con-
form to the duties imposed upon you by European
treaties, her Majesty's Government will most will-
ingly use their influence with the Sublime Porte for
the improvement of the condition of a million of
Servians, in whose welfare her Majesty the Queen
takes a deep interest.

Your Eminence may write to me under the ad-

dress—Signor Giovanni Feretti, Post-office, Naples.
We shall then arrange whether it will be convenient
that you should send, or make known to me here, a
person fully in your confidence and mine, through
whom the affair may be best carried on.
In my next I will tell you where are the revolu-
tionary committees of Rome, Velletri, Albano,
Viterbo, and of whom they consist. Trust for trust.
Not to lose time, and that I may have a proof that
this offer of mine is taken into consideration, your
Eminence will send me to the above address in such

a way as shall seem to you safest and most conve-
nient, a sum the amount of which I leave to your
discretion, the same being necessary to put in motion
forthwith the forces which are to produce that crisis
through which alone this cursedly tangled skein
can be unravelled. You may send the money in
notes of the Roman bank, by sea post, or through
some banker of Rome, taking care, however, that
in sending it the name of your Eminence shall in
nowise appear.

',But so long as ill-intentioned persons aro
allowed to draw your Highness into measures of
defiance and violence, in open violation and con-
tempt of solemn treaties, it is impossible that her
Majesty's Government can ask the Sultan to give
to his enemies means for assailing the security of
his empire.

I am, &c.,
(Signed)

4, RUSSELL."

Kissing your sacred purple I declare myself your
most devoted, GIOVANNI FERETTI.
You shall know my real name presently.
As the writer of this letter spent a part of his
wicked life in London, you may like to know more
of the man than you will find in any of the Italian
journals. I therefore send you an outline of his
biography. He is a native of Valle, near Belluno,
and his real name is De Col. He studied at
Padua, and was ordained a priest in 1846, so
that his age is not yet 40. In the commotions
of 1848-9 he appeared a warm patriot. When
the fortunes of Italy fell at Novara he re-
mained with the emigrants in Piedmont, and WAS
always found among the most ardent of them,
some of whom afterwards unmasked themselves as
agCuts of Austria. One of these was Perego, at
present director of the Official Gazette of Verona.
When Massimo d'Azegio began to weed the emigre_
tion, De Col started for London, went over to the
Church of England, and got a good deal of money
out of the Protestant clergymen, who thought they
had done a fine thing
in converting this pious
priest ; but when his dissolute life became known
to them they closed their purses. He then left
England, and went with an Austrian passport
direct to Rome, where he presented himself to the
Pope, declaring himself deeply penitent, and ready,
to servo the good cause with the utmost zeal. Fur-
nished with recommendations from the Pope he re-
turned to Belluno, where, to the astonishment of
everybody, he was not molested in any way what-
ever. But the second part of his life was not more
edifying than the first, and having broken the do •
mestic peace of some families, he was shut up for a
while by the police in the lunatic asylum at San
Servolo in Venetia. Afterwards, on the approach
of the war of 1859, the police let him out, and its
subordinates were ordered to allow him to speak
freely, under the pretence that he was insane, but
in reality, for the purpose of using him as a docoy,
and discovering the plans of the liberals through his
instrumentality. He moved about in Lombardy
and the Emilia, always consorting with the extreme
liberals, and especially with the emigrants, and
finally he went to Naples, where he pursued the
same system up to the day of his arrest.

211 E NETV VENEZUELAN LOA.Z‘

With reference to the new Venezuelan Loan, the
following resolution was adopted yesterday by the
Committee of the Stock Exchange :
" Resolved—" That the consideration of the ap-
pointment of a settling day for the Venezuela scrip
be deferred until the formal ratification of the loan
has been received by the contractors."
In arriving at this determination, the committee
' appear to have been guided chiefly by Rule 57 of
1
Which provides as follows :

ill not sanction, nor take cog-
nisance of, bargains made in new bonds, stock, or
other securities, issued by any foreign Govern-
ment that has not duly paid the dividends on
former loans raised in this country, unless such
Government shall have effected and carried out a
satisfactory arrangement with the holders of such
stock, bonds, or other securities, on which the divi-
dends have been left in arrear."
The words which we have marked in italics
have a bearing upon the present ease, inasmuch as,
though Venezuela has " effected" an arrangement
with her creditors, she has not yet " carried it
out." Regard has also probably been had by the
committee to the subjoined clause, which, with a
caution characteristic of Messrs. Baring Brothers
and Co., was attached to the prospectus of the
loan :

"It is understood that no part of the
proceeds of
this loan will become payable to the Government
of Venezuela until her Majesty's Consul-General, if
he consents to act, and the agent of Messrs. Baring
Brothers and Co. shall have satisfied themselves of
the validity of the proposed mortgage of 55 per
cent. of the customs revenues of La Guayra and

the purposes of the Government willwbilels

isomuch inconvenience will be occasioned, how-
ever, through holding in abeyance the numerous
transactions which have taken place in the scrip in
the Stock Exchange, that it is said a number of the
members intend to address the committee, with a
view to inducing theta to reconsider their strict
decision.
