Admiral Remain-Desfosses lately reviewed at
Toulon several companies of Marines to be em-

is provided with a six-barrelled revolver, a bag of
grenades, and a hatchet. He carries as a crossbelt
a rope ladder six feet long, and round his waist a
cord, having at its extremity a grappling iron with
four prongs. This grappling-iron will attach itself
to the least projecting object of a rampart, and will
enable a trained man to scale the highest wall
without difficulty.
" Formal instructions," says the Constitutionnel,
"have been sent by the Minister of Foreign Affairs
to the consuls, vice-consuls, and consular agents of
France in the States of the Church, not to allow

SARDINIA.

Count Cavour has addressed the following letter
to Commander Buoncompagni, president of the
Liberal Union, in reply to an address from that
body on the subject of the annexation of Central
Italy to the subalpine kingdom :

"I am most grateful to you for the expressions
of sympathy and esteem which you address to
me in the name of the Liberal Union. The King's
Government has imposed on itself the noble and
difficult task of giving to the provinces of Italy,
freed from all foreign influence, those liberal insti-
tutions which have given so much moral strength
to Piedmont. And since, for our happiness, the
national idea cannot be any longer separated from
that of liberty, no administration can direct pub-
lic affairs with advantage and efficacy if it has
not the confidence of the King and of the Parlia-
ment. Actuated by this principle, my colleagues
and myself will hasten the coavocation of the
Chambers as much as circumstances will allow, and
labour without ceasing to remove all the difficulties
which still oppose the annexation so ardently de-
sired by every true Italian. lam happy to assure
you that Europe, more and more convinced by the
fresh proofs of concord and constancy which we
have given, will no longer hesitate to accede to
our ardent wishes. It is no longer a secret that
diplomacy demands, as a condition of its consent,
a new manifestation of the wishes of the people of
Central Italy. This final demonstration of firmness
and unanimity might appear superfluous to us,
who have witnessed the noble fervour and sponta-
neousness of the wishes already expressed by the
popuiations, but it is desirable to obviate every
pretext on the part of those who would represent
these manifestations of the popular will as having
been dictated solely by the imminent danger of
an armed restoration. New the principle of
non-intervention is about to receive public and
more explicit confirmation, the sublime significa-
tion of this great act of the national will will not
be lessened in the eyes of Europe and of pos-
terity. I therefore hope that the new assembly
will be able to give its legal sanction to
this fact, which will immediately open a new
era in the history of Italy. It is of the utmost
importance that the electors should send to Par-
liament representatives worthy of Italy's past,
worthy of the splendid future which opens before
her. Such is precisely the object of the association
over which you preside, and I feel confident that,
thanks to its co-operation, the new members will
be, by their wisdom and unanimity, worthy mem-
bers of the new Italian Parliament. Will you
express, Sir, my gratitude to the association, and
receive, &e., " C. CAVOUR."

The following is the text of an address which the
citizens of Geneva have decided on sending to the
Federal Council :

" Faithful and dear co-Federates—ln presence
of the grave events which are rising up near our
frontiers, and which menace the neutrality of our
country, and perhaps the integrity of its terri-
tory, the people of Geneva, who are particularly
threatened, have at an imposing meeting, where
all opinions were represented, decided on ad-
dressing themselves to the Executive Power of the
Confederation to communicate to it their apprehen-
sions and their wishes, Thc 111:1144 o Savory to
