LATEST NEWS.

RUMOURED FLIGHT OF THE
KING OF NAPLES.

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

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

A rumour is current on the Bourse that the
King of Naples left Naples yesterday at 5 p.m.,
on board the Stromb, and that the Piedmontese
had occupied the forts.

NAPLES, AUG. 28.

(OFFICIAL.)

The Neapolitan troops were attacked by the
Garibaldians at Piale (the telegram says au Piale),
by whom they were surrounded and defeated. An
armistice was then proposed. The commanding
officer referred this proposition to the General-in-
Chief in order to obtain his decision. In the mean-
time the enthusiasm of the Neapolitan troops
abated; they became disorganised and dispersed,
leaving the batteries without any defenders.

NAPLES, AUG. 28.
The Royal troops in Calabria have again been
defeated.

The insurgents of Basilicata are advancing to-
wards Salerno. It is believed that they will join
Garibaldi and march against Naples.

NAPLES, (VIA MARSEILLES) AUG. 25.

Two days ago Baron Brenier demanded of the
Neapolitan Government the satisfaction due to him
on account of the assault committed on his person.
Baron Brenier pointed out that the best means of
doing an act of justice and of showing him courtesy
would be to proceed immediately to the liquidation
of the indemnity due to the French subjects who
had suffered through the bombardment of Palermo
by the Neapolitans, and to appoint a special Am-
bassador to Paris with the mission of making fitting
apologies for the affront offered to France in his
person. Negotiations to that effect are still being
carried on, and it is not yet known whether Baron
Brenier will remain here.

Several Sardinian Bersaglieri were killed and
others wounded in the conflict with the Neapolitan
guardsmen. The Marquis do Villamarina declared
that the Neapolitans were the aggressors, and de-
manded immediate satisfaction. No reply has yet
been given by tie Neapolitan Government.
Disturbances tt Naples may be considered immi-
nent. Appeals to the people to rise in revolt are
publicly distribtted. A revolutionary movement
in Salerno is also announced as being imminent.

The Pro-Dietttor at Poterza has furnished arms
to 10,000 inhatitants of the province of Basili-

cata.

The Minister Martino has officially announced
to the diplomaic corps the defection of two bat-
talions of the reapolitan army at Reggio, and the
surrender at discretion of the fort. The Minister
is said to have added to his communication, "As
regards the proportion of our forces, we were for-
merly three against one, but now we are one against
three."

PARIS, AUG. 29.
The Illoniteur contains the following telegram,
dated Chambers, 28th inst. :
" To-day the Emperor and Empress received the
public authorities and the principal inhabitants of
the department.
" Their Majesties then paid a visit to the princi-
pal church and afterwards rode out in the neigh-
bourhood of Chambery. .

"In the evening a grand ball was given in the

theatre."

A private eespatch received here from Chambery
states that their Majesties have received Signori
Farini and Caldini.

VIENNA, AUG. 28.

The programme of the minority of the 21 mem-
bers of the Committee of the Reichsrath is said to
originate with Count Hartig, and to be a kind of
compromise between the views of the Government
and the wishes of the Hungarians. In order to ar-
rive at an immediate solution, Count Hartig pro-
poses to confine the Constitutional Reforms within
the limits indicated by the Imperial patent, decree-
ing the creation of the enlarged Council of the Em-
pire, and recognising the principle of the autonomy
of the provinces.

According to the above-mentioned programme,
the Reichsrath would preserve its present powers
for the regulation of the general affairs of the
Empire, and its privileges would successively be-
come more extended.

Every province would settle its local affairs by
means of provincial diets. The privileges of those
latter would comprehend the right of making laws
and of exercising a deliberative vote on all ques-
tions of provincial administration.

Concerning the general affairs of the Empire,
the provincial diets would have the right of peti-
tion and the liberty of bringing complaints against
the Ministers before the Emperor. Should the
Emperor find these complaints to be justifiable, the
Ministers would be brought to trial before a tribu-
nal to be chosen by the provincial diets themselves.
The Emperor would exercise the right of veto upon
all decisions emanating from the provincial diets in
the event of their being considered prejudicial to
the general welfare of the Empire. But the exer-
cise of the veto would always be explained and
justified by a special Imperial patent.
In order to complete the autonomy of the pro-
vinces, the programme of the minority of the Com-
mittee proposes the establishment of independent
municipal institutions.

VIENNA, AUG. 29.

Notwithstanding the positive announcement
made by several German newspapers of an ap•
preaching interview of the Emperor of Austria
with the Czar, and at which the Prince Regent,
it was also stated, would also be present, no steps

have been taken with that object up to the pre-
sent time either by the Emperor of Austria or

,he Czar.

Out of consideration to France, both sovereigns
will carefully abstain from taking any steps which
might be interpreted as an act of coalition against
her.

TItIESTE, AuG. 28.
In ease Garibaldi should attempt a disembarka-

tion on the Austrian littoral, the Archduke Fer-
dinand Maximilian, as commander-in-chief of the
Austrian Navy, would assume the personal and
direct command of the naval forces destined to
repel the attack.

FRANCE.
SPEECH OF COUNT PERSIGNY.
PARIS, AUG. 28.

The Count de Persigny, in his quality of Presi-
dent, opened today the sittings of the General
Council of the Department of the Loire with a
speech of which the following is a summary :
The Count commenced by observing that he was
about to examine the existing probabilities of peace
being maintained in Europe, and said,—
The Emperor's programme of Bordeaux has not

been changed. Without pretending to abolish war,
the Emperor has however repudiated the inherit-
ance of mere fighting for the sake of vengeance for
the defeats of the First Empire. Before the in-
auguration of the present Empire two extraordi-
nary questions were pending, viz.,—the question
of the East and that of Italy—neither of which
could be resolved by means of diplomacy.
"Although the wars resulting from those ques-
tions could not be avoided, they were carried out
with promptitude, and the Emperor succeeded in
realising the object for which they were under-
taken.

" The destruction of Sebastopol prevented Rus-
sia from taking possession of Constantinople, and
the Eastern question was confided to the charge of
united Europe.

" As regards the war in Italy, the Italian States
were delivered from Austrian domination, and the
principal object of the war was thus obtained.
Although the Italians now jeopardise the indepen-
dence which they acquired in consequence of the
war, the principle of non-intervention, now a re-
cognised rule of international policy, exercises a
dominating influence over the further development
of the question.

" These are the only questions which occupy the
attention of Europe at the present moment.
" The apprehensions entertained in Germany
respecting the Rhine frontiers, and the fears of an
invasion current in England, do not merit serious
discussion.

"The Rhine is no longer a strategic frontier.
France, being much stronger when Germany is
divided, will never support the project of German
unity for any compensation she might obtain.
" Concerning the relations between England and
France, neither of these two Powers desires to enter
upon such a terrible struggle as a war between them
would be. The English nation is peaceful. Their
virtuous Queen and the eminent men in power
desire to maintain a good understanding between
the two nations.

" In view of so many great results obtained by
France, and the lustre which they throw round the
French nation, it is natural that uneasiness and dis-
trust should have arisen in Europe. France, how-
ever, did not create the complications in Italy,
neither did she counsel Austria to follow the fatal
policy which led to the rising of the Italians, nor
is she responsible for the treaties which Austria
concluded with the Italian Princes. France used
every possible effort to prevent the conflict. If the
Emperor kept silence before the outbreak of the
war in reference to his promises to repulse the
attacks of Austria upon Italy, it was with the
motive of leaving the Italians in ignorance of his
powerful assistance, which, had they been aware of,
would have spread increased excitement amongst
them.

" Thus the silence with which the Emperor has
been reproached was disadvantageous to himself
alone..

" The same can be said in reference to the cession
of Savoy and Nice to France_

" The Italians, after the conclusion of the peace
of Villafranca, having acted in violation of that
treaty on the other side of the Alps, France could
not renounce her Alpine frontiers, seeing that a
great Italian kingdom had been constituted. France
has never concealed her intentions either from Sar-
ainia or from England. She has deceived nobody.
" The Emperor has certainly replaced France in
her legitimate position without shaking the confi-
dence of Europe. Taken as a whole, his policy was
pure and honest. If he has made war in Italy it
was only because the other powers were not willing
to engage on their own responsibility. As soon as
it was possible to arrive at a definite result he con-
cluded the peace desired by the world.
" Since 1815 France has been forced to follow
the role imposed upon her by the treaties of Vienna.
Another spirit now reigns, and the political system
of 1815 has been subverted by Europe. This system
was the result of a violent transition which, by two
great convulsions, entirely disturbed the European
equilibrium. Since then it has been the great inte-
rest of Europe that a general reconciliation should
be effected between the different Powers, and that
France should by common consent reassume the
position which belonged to her in the Councils of
the Powers. She no longer threatens nor is
threatened. Her work is achieved, and the mission
of the new Empire is accomplished.
" The military role of France in Europe is at an
end. It affords me great happiness to be conscien-
tiously able to say that an era of peace and prospe-
rity is now opening for Europe."
