The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

ME.RSEILLES, JULY 3.

According to advices from Naples to the 30th
ult., assemblages of the population commenced on
the evening of the 26th ult. The populace shouted
" Garibaldi for ever !" " Annexation for ever !'
" Death to the police ! The following day a panic
took place, the police were maltreated, and disap-
peared as soon as the same cries were raised by the

populace.
The King had twice sent Signor Aquila to
Baron Brenier, and had promised to make a strict

investigation.
On the 28th ult. all the police stations were
pillaged in open day; 40 of the agents were sur-
prised, and either killed or wounded. The archives
were burnt. The spoils were carried about in
triumph by the populace.
The King bad arrived at Naples, and had ordered
the immediate formation of a National Guard.

The Official Journal praised the calm attitude of
the majority of the population.
The Advocates Romano had been appointed Pre-
fect of Police.

A proclamation had been issued, prohibiting
seditious shoats, and recommending the military to
disperse assemblages of the population with mode-
ration.

MARSEILLES, JULY 3.

Letters from Palermo to the 25th ult. state that
the Councils had been convoked, and would prepare
electoral lists. The universal suffrage of the people
and the army would be taken on the question of
the annexation of Sicily to Piedmont. The com-
munes were to indemnify the deputies.
Orders have been given for the conversion of the
greater part of the bells into cannon.

Advices from Palermo to the 28th ult. state that
numerous arrests had taken place among the former
functionaries, some of them being noble. Some of
the people demanded that they should be shot.
Fresh massacres of the sbirri had taken place
Garibaldi bad sent some columns to re-establish
order in.the interior of the island. The Ministry
which he had formed was, however, unpopular.

Notwithstanding the dissensions between the
towns and the villages, and the resistance offered
to the levying of the imposts, the same ardour to
drive the Neapolitans out of the island continued
to prevail.

MADRID, JULY 3.
The Emperor of Morocco has placed one instal
ment of the indemnity at the disposal of Spain.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY.

The Siecle, Patrie, and Opinione Nationale very
properly stigmatise the conduct of the Count de
Montemolin in retracting the voluntary renuncia-
tion of his claim to the Spanish Crown. Thus far
so good; and had they left the matter there no on•
would have anything to say. But the Patrie goes
on with historical parallels, and quotes the chival-
rous conduct of Francis 1., the " heroic memory of
the vanquished of Pavia," as the Gazette de France
terms him, by way of contrast with the Count de
Montemolin. Nothing could be more unfortunate.
It is true that when Francis was defeated and
taken prisoner in that battle, he wrote to his
mother the Regent, Tout est perdu fors l'honneur.'
But, alas! " rhonneur" was soon forgotten. Fran-
cis was brought to Madrid, lodged in the Al-
cam, where he was certainly subjected to un-
generous treatment by his rival and vanquisher
Charles V. After nearly a year's captivity he
agreed to accept the terms dictated by Charles, and
signed the treaty of Madrid on the 14th January,
1526. Moreover, he bound himself by oath that if
within the time limited he did not fulfil the stipu-
lations in the treaty, he would return to Spain and
surrender himself again a prisoner to the Emperor.
Yet this chivalrous monarch, whose boast it was
that amid the wreck of his fortunes he had pre-
served his honour, which fortune could not touch,
assembled his confidential servants a few hours
before he signed the treaty, and having sworn
them to secrecy, declared that his consent should
be considered as an involuntary act, and be
deemed null and void. While he saved his honour
in signing the treaty, he had already satis-
fied his conscience by finding a pretext to break
it. And break it he did, the first moment he had an
opportunity of returning to France ; and when the
league which he had concocted against Charles V.
was concluded, he demanded, and obtained, from
Clement VII., who formed part of the combination,
absolution from the oath which ho had taken to
observe the -treaty of Madrid. It is rather unfor-
tunate, then, for these journals to appeal to Francis
1., and quite as much for the Gazette de France
to talk of " tha heroic souvenir of the vanquished
of Pavia," and speak of the Kings of the old race
as models of honour. The Gazette observes that
what the Count de Montemolin has done might be
" authorised by numerous precedents in•the troubled
history of our times, meaning, doubtless, that ex-
amples might be alleged of people having violated
the most solemn pledges. Certainly such examples
could be quoted, but it is no justification of Monte-
molin that he can break his promise because others
have done so.

THE WEATHER IN SPAIN.—MADRID, June 28.
The English papers are wondering what has become of the
summer; they inquire whether anything has been heard of
it either in the torrid or frigid zone—stolen or strayed, the
dog days. If you would know where they have strayed
you need only come to Madrid for half an hour, and the
aspect of the panting, perspiring people would quickly con-
vince you that you had at last found the object of your
search. In London and Paris you appear to be cowering
over blazing hearths—in the latter city especially, the
ladies seem to have brought out their furs again. Would
that we could send you some of our surplus caloric ! for our
too solid flesh is fast melting under the pitiless beams of
the raging sun. The heat in Madrid is at this moment so
intense that it has driven forth all politicians; the Senate
and Chamber still are supposed to meet for the despatch of
business, but urgent private affairs seem to have deprived
the country of their legislators. The entire city is deserted
—not a soul remains here save such as are detained by in-
terest or necessity.
