The following is the letter of Count Bigot de

Napoleon I. :

" Paris May 27, 1812.
"Very Holy Father,—The well-known plan of
the English to make a descant in the neighbour-
hood of Savona to carry you off compels the
French Government to bring your Holiness to the
capital. Orders have consequently been given that
your Holiness may first come to Fontainebleau,
where you will see the bishops and those of the
cardinals who are in France. Your Holiness is
not to remain at Fontainebleau longer than is re-
quired to fit up the apartments in the Archbishop's
Palace in Paris, which you will then inhabit.
" I am, with profound respect, very Holy Father,
your Holiness's very humble and very obedient
servant."

MADAME CLAR A NO G'EL LO'S FAREWELL.

A private letter from Turin of the 23d inst., re-
ceived in Paris, contains the following passage :
" Garibaldi alone possesses the secret of the
period at which the Hungarian insurrection is to
break out. He finds it extremely difficult to pre-
vent the Hungarian Liberals from acting before he
has given the signal. At the moment lam writing
to you, Kossuth, Klapka, Teleki, and others are
here waiting for the hour to strike by the Garibal-
dian clock.'

The Festival performance of the Creation at the
Crystal Palace yesterday was a great and decided
success, and, according to the promise made to our
readers in The Sun of Sept. 12, we give this evening

an outline of past experience on Madame Novello's

performance of the Messiah, which will be heard
for the last time on Saturday, September 29, at the

Crystal Palace. If there be one style of music to
which, more than another, the lovely voice and
grand classic manner of Madame Clara Novell() are
adapted, it is the sacred style;, and to her achieve-
ments in this lofty department of art her great
celebrity (in this country at least) is mainly to be
attributed. As prima donna assotata of the ora-
torios of Handel, Haydn, Mendelsshon, and Spohr,
Madame Clara Novello has long reigned supreme in
the English concert-room; but great provincial
towns no less than the metropolis have paid homage

:o her genius, and confirmed year after year the
Favourable verdict so unanimously pronounced upon
the earliest exhibition of her powers ; and although

ormidable rivals, both foreign and English, have o:

late appeared to dispute her hitherto exclusive sway,
Madame Clara Novello has contrived to hold her own,
and is still justly regarded as the first of the first in
that particular department of executive art to which
our present article bears special reference. In no
oratorio, perhaps, are the extraordinary powers of
this eminent singer more strikingly displayed than
in Handel's " Messiah," from the opening recitative,

" There were Shepherds," to the final air in C
minor, " If God be for us" (too often omitted in our
public performances). Not only does every note of
the k7oprano part lie completely within the compass
of Madame Novello's voice, but in every piece oppor-
tunities are afforded for the employment of certain

ITALY.

A letter from Turin, dated Sept. 24, says :

" Garibaldi's army has just met with a check
before Capaa. It attacked the Royal troops ; they
say it was Bixio's brigade. After a smart cannon-
ade the Garibaldians were driven back by a bril-
liant charge of cavalry, and returned to their posi-
tions, with a loss of 400 killed and wounded, and
leaving 300 prisoners in the enemy's hands. Never-
theless, the positions were maintained, and the
Dictator is collecting all his forces to take a signal
irevenge.

" It is asserted that the King of Naples is at the
head of 50,000 men, and will show fight. Bosco,
who had been accused of following Nunziante's
example, is with the King, and has said that all the
Piedmontese will ever get of him will be his corpse
on the battle-field.

" The Marquis Pallavicini Trivulzio, the desig-
nated pro-Dictator of Naples, arrived here this
morning, after a very short stay in the former
capital. He is the bearer of another letter from
Garibaldi to Victor Emmanuel, in which the former
states on what conditions an agreement may be
come to.

" The King received the envoy of the Dictator
who governs in his name, but simply observed, he
should make his reply known.
"It is reported here to-day that an insurrection
has broken out in the patrimony of St. Peter. It is
simply the forerunner of what probably will shortly
occur.

" Military honours have been paid to General
Pimodan, who fell on the field of battle."
A letter from Rome, dated 19th September,

says :
" The Minister of War has asked General de
Goyon to send French troops to defend Viterbo.
The General refused.

"This morning French gendarmes tore down in

the Monte-Giordano street a placard with the in-
scription Vive Victor Emmanuel, notre Itoi d'ltalie
Vive Napoleon 111. r
" Colonel de Mortilliet, who had been sent by
Monseigneur de Merode into the provinces of
Velletri and Frosinone with secret instructions,
started last night with 1,000 men, and re-occupied
Ponte-Corvo. The authorities established there in
the name of Victor Emmanuel fled. No blood was
shed."

exquisitely beautiful tones belonging exclusively to
our own gifted countrywoman, and which might be
vainly looked for in the greatest of her contem-
pories, foreign or English. Do our readers remem-
ber the softly intense and chastely impassioned tones,
so full of affectionate consolation and gracious ten-
derness, which characterises Madame Novello's
rendering of " Come unto Him all ye that labour ?"
Those notes, so sweet and gentle, yet so full and rich
—those incomparable high Fs and Gs (if we must
be technical) which are quite Madame Novella's
own property ? The Fto which we allude occurs
no less than 17 times in a short solo. But heard
from such a voice we never tire of it; the mere ab-
stract beauty of the sound, apart from all tusthetical
meaning, would be delightful. Another effort of
the same description, to which also the very highest
praise may be awarded, is Madame Novello's
" How beautiful are the feet of them that preach
the Gospel of peace," one of the divinest inspira-
tions in the oratorio. Here again the best notes
of her voice are called into requisition, and that
peculiar tranquil beauty and calm happiness,
which Madame Novello seems fitted by nature to
express more truthfully and cb%rmingly than
any other singer in the world, are the poetical
characteristics of the song. In these two pieces
the great English soprano is quite beyond ri-
valry, but still greater (because the air is more
trying and important) is her delivery of " I
know that my Redeemer liveth,'' a performance
which, in our opinion, includes within itself all the
grandest and most beautiful qualities of the singer,
and by which she will in distant years be chiefly
remembered. Anything more lovely than this,
whether in conception or execution, it were, indeed,
impossible to imagine. If the Christian virtues
could be symbolised by sound alone, fused together,
and translated into music, we should say that such a
process had given birth to this marvellously beau-
tiful effect of vocal art, which has all the dignified
firmness of faith, the vague joy of hope, and the
charity which loves, and whose mission it is to dis-
pense happiness, or at least to chase may despair.
It is not that Madame Novella's delivery of the words
lacks expression, but there is so much more in the
execution of the notes, into which the very spirit and
essence of the words have entered, as their animat•
ing, all-pervading soul. We regard this angelic
composition as a transfiguration of sense into
sound, and the tones fitly expressed, as
Madame Novello expresses them, bear within
themselves all the meaning that the most eloquent
language can convey. When Madame Novello
rises here, as she is occasionally required to do, to
the high F sharp and G sharp, which in her voice
are perfect marvels of sweetness, she perhaps pro;
duces her greatest effects.
It must not, however, be inferred from this praise
of such particular tones as no other singer in the
world possesses, that Madame Novella's voice is
deficient in any respect, for her medium notes,
if less bright and rich than those of a higher
register, are still beautiful, and quite worthy
of the rest. As an exemplification of that fact, we
need only refer our readers to her execution of many
portions of the airs above mentioned, which we have
specially signalised, because they serve to dis-
play Madame Novella's powers to the very best
advantage, and are efforts which in every respect
remain as yet unequalled. Our great English so-
prano's, " Rejoice greatly," possesses merits of a dif-
ferent kind ; and the fine air, " If God be for us,"
is so rarely heard, that a dissertation on Madame
Novella's magnificent execution of it would scarcely
interest our readers. The artistic world will, doubt-
less, fully understand and appreciate the irrepara-
ble loss it is about to sustain, and take every means
to hear once more the incomparable voice, which,
so far as the public is concerned, will soon be
hushed for ever. At the performance on Saturday
the band will number 200 performers, and include
the names of all our great instrumental performers,
such as Sainton, Blagrove, Dando, Hill, Wede-
meyer, Pettemes, Collins V., Wilkins, Watson,
