N E W 6,

The following telegrams were received at Mr.

Reuter's office :

PARIS, MAY 12.

The Illoniteur announces that in yesterday's
sitting of the Leglislative body the report on the
new tariff for sugar and coffee was made to the
Chamber by the committee which had examined it.

TURIN, MAY 11.

It is asserted that the vessels composing General
Garibaldi's expedition have touched at Talmona, in
Tuscany, in order to take in provisions, to put the
combatants in better condition, and to add some
officers to their ranks. The vessels then set out
again.

GENOA, MAY 11.

Advices have been received from Messina to the
7th instant, Palermo to the 6th instant, and Naples
to the Bth instant.

It was rumoured that an insurrectionary move-
ment had taken place in Calabria, to which pro-
vince troops had been sent. The insurrection in
Sicily was said to have spread from Cefalu to Mar-
sala. Palermo and Messina were destitute of pro-
visions, and a steamboat service had been organised
by Government for the supply of necessaries to
those places. Disembarkations of insurgents coming
from different parts of Sicily and Calabria had
taken place at Trapani. Naples was tranquil, but
little confidence prevailed.

TURIN, MAY 11.

The fall in the public funds continue. Sardinian
Rente is quoted to-day at 82f. 50e. for cash. Great
perplexity prevails concerning the issue of General
Garibaldi's expedition.

DRESDEN, MAY 11.

The Official Dresden Journal, in reference to the
news published by the Nurnberger Correspondenten,
states that the Government of Saxony has received
no overtures on the part of France respecting the
interior affairs of Germany ; and adds, it has
reason to believe that none have been made to other
German governments.

ROME, MAY 10.

Nothing justifies the reports again in circulation
of an approaching resignation of CardinalAntonelli,
whose ministerial position remains unshaken.
Some members of the Sacred College have sug-
gested to the Pope the convocation of an assembly
at Rome, in which every Catholic power should be
represented by some political or administrative
person of note. This assembly, after examining
the real state of affairs in the Papal States, would
point out what reforms could be carried out and
what could not.

The Holy Father appears much pleased with the
idea, which, if realised, would make the Catholic
world co-operate in the administration of the States
of the Church.

CHINA.

SHANGHAI, VIA TRIESTE, MARCH 23.

The import trade is paralysed, and virtually sus-
pended in consequence of the movements of the
rebels, who are reported to have taken Hangchaw.
It is also rumoured that a collision has taken place
between the Russians and Chinese on the frontier.
Silk, No. 3 Tsatla, 415 to 425 taels. Settlements
in fortnight, 2,800 bales. Exchange on London,
6s. 6d. to 6s. 7d.
Freights for tea, 30s. to 405.; silk, 70s.

CANTON, MARCH 29.

The ultimatum was delivered to the Chinese
authorities on the Bth March. An answer is ex-
pected in the course of the week. Sir Hope Grant
leaves shortly for Shanghai, and the allies will
occupy Chusan immediately. Business is partially
suspended owing to the movements of the insur-
gents.

The foreigners in Japan go about armed, and a
guard from a Russian corvette has been landed at
Veranaganira for their protection.

Tea unaltered. Stock, 6 chops. Freights ad-
vancing, England £3 per ton. Total export of tea,
1,221,0001b5. Exchange on London, 4s. 9id.

CALCUTTA, APRIL 7.

Sir Charles Trevelyan and all the members of
the Madras Government strongly oppose Mr. Wil-
son's financial scheme, and have published minutes
to that effect.
Imports dull; money easier.

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION.
A letter from Turin, dated May 9, says:—The
Diritto of this morning publishes the following
document, which will be read with some interest in
England

" Genoa, May 5.
" My dear Bertani,—As I am once more about
to take a share in the events which are to decide the
destinies of the country, I leave the ensuing direc-
tions with you :
" To collect all the means you may obtain,
to aid us in our enterprise ; to give the Italians
to understand that if we receive proper assist-
ance Italy will be made in a short time, and
with little cost ; but that a few barren subscrip-
tioNs will not acquit them of their duty; that
that part of Italy which is free to-day should
have, not 100,000, but 500,000 men under
arms, the latter number being by no means out
of proportion with the population ; that it is a pro-
portion attained even by States which have not
their independence to secure by conquest. Let
Italy have such an army, and she will have no need
of foreign masters, sure to eat her up piecemeal
under the pretence of freeing her ; that wherever
there are Italians fighting against their oppressors,
there all brave men should be sent, supplying them
with means for the journey ; that the Sicilian in-
surrection should be aided, not in Sicily alone, but
wherever her enemies may be met.
" I never advised this Sicilian movement ; but,
since these brethren of ours are fighting, I deemed
it my duty to go to their rescue.
" Our war-cry will always be, Italy and Victor
Emmanuel ! ' I hope even at this juncture the
Italian banner will be borne out unscatched.—Yours,
affectionately,

"G. GARIBALDI."

This letter is in better taste than many of the
guerillero's late effusions. It is not unlikely Sicily
or the Southern Kingdom will offer that brave man
a field, enabling him to retrieve the fine character
which Parliamentary and matrimonial mishaps
have partly, though not justly, damaged. Garibaldi
is no man to be measured by the common standard.
What would be more rashness and stark-madness
in another is no more than faith in his good star
in him. He is not made for fine speeches or even
written addresses, but his mere impulse in action
is better than other men's caution and forethought.
He will in all probability be beaten in all the
constituencies in which his friends put up his
name against Ministerial candidates, for Ca-
your or Cavour's friends are not willing
to be again brought into the lists with
so uncouth and uncompromising a debater. Be-
tween Italy's champion, who has nothing to give for
her but a charmed life, and is ready to risk it in the
most desperate encounters, and Italy's diplomatist,
who fitters himself he can beat all her enemies by
outwitting them, there can be nothing in common.
By this time they may be looked upon as irrecon-
cilable enemies, and I am even told, though I will
never believe it, that the utmost has been done
to estrange the heart of King Victor Emmanuel
from his self-sacrificing leader of the forlorn hope, by
rousing into the upright, but perhaps over-confiding
mind of the King, a jealousy of the Nizzaid adven-
turer akin to the feelings of Stiul for young David.
