TIIB FINE A 1778.

THE COUNTESS OF IhLKEITII.
PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA.
Mitchell, Old Bond-street.

The first of these specimens of pictorial art is a
fine plate engraved by Francis Holl, whose name
is sufficient guarantee for the perfection of the work
in all its manipulative detail. Mr. Holl is an artist
who combines exquisite delicacy of taste with
thorough executive skill; his treatment of female
portraits is unquestionably and invariably all that
is to be desired in that department of art,
and the one we have before us may be classed
among his finest productions. The life subject
has gained additional refinement and expression
without losing the truthful embodimeat of striking
resemblance—a result which should ever form the
chief endeavour of engravers of feminine portraits,
and for which Mr. Holl stands pre-eminently dis-
tinguished.

The likeness of the infant grandson of her
Majesty is an engraving on stone by R. J. Lane,
whose excellence in this medium of representation
is too well appreciated to need comment.

As for the interest of the likeness, one may easily
imagine the general impression and character of
countenance conveyed by a " one year old." We

simply see—

A round face, a lot of lace,
A broad sash arranged with grace,
A rattle and a toy ;
A fat neck, which pearls deck,
A rich robe without a speck,
And there's your Royal Boy.

Tho Marchioness of Ely and family have left
;own for Ireland.

Mr. Reuter's office :

PUtIS, MAY 25.

A telegram from Palermo, fated the 23d inst.,
10 p.m., announces that the froops of Garibaldi
were in position near Palermo. Twenty thousand
Neapolitans occupied the heighis which commanded
the town for two miles round. An attack was
momentarily expected.

The _Patric also publishes a despatch from Sicily,
dated 23d inst., which states tiat the Neapolitan
troops still occupied Palermo, but that the insur-
rection was making great progress at all points.
Garibaldi had been joined by some of his officers,
and particularly by Colonel Medici, with consider-
able reinforcements. He was menacing Monreale,
the surrender of which would lead to the fall of
Palermo.

On Friday next the Division Bezaine will make
a solemn entry into Paris.

';URIN, FRIDAY.

The Official Gazette contains a despatch, dated
the 24th inst., which confirm the encounter of
Garibaldi at San Martino wits Bavarians in the
igervice of the King of Naples. Garibaldi had
approached nearer to Palermo, the heights round
which were occupied by the insurgents. An attack
was imminent. General Lanz: had demanded an
armistice of Garibaldi, without effect.

An Austrian flotilla, composed of three vessels,
arrived at Naples on the 21st inkt.
A despatch from Messina, dated 21st inst., states
that an insurrection had broken out at Paterno,
Aderno, and Branco-Villa.

NAPLES, TUESDAY.

The despatch of troops to Sicily continues. The
city is tranquil, and the police are ready to repress
any popular movement.

ANCONA, MAY 21.
It is rumoured that General Lamoriciere intends
tendering his resignation.

TURIN, MAY 25.

The discussion upon the treaty of the 24th
March was opened to-day. The following is a
summary of the speech of Signor Guerazzi on the

subject :
" The people of Italy had hoped for the protec-
tion of Piedmont. France, in return for the an-
nexation of Central Italy to Piedmont, wished to
possess Savoy and Nice, and the existing Ministry
had been compelled to accept the annexation of
these provinces to France. Since then the
Italian question had much fallen, it has been
thrown from the Capitol, and has become
an affair of stock-jobbing. The Ministry
showed itself very timid towards France, and
ceded Savoy and Nice in order not to be obliged to
maintain the autonomy of Tuscany. A treaty of
mistrust has been made, and the Emperor had
shown that he suspected us. If Italy had been all
to the Italians it would have been pOssible to have
removed the barriers which separated two great
families, but with Austria in the heart of our coun-
try can we have sufficient confidence ?
It will be necessary to transport the capital and
Parliament elsewhere. We have opened our doors,
we have failed in our obligations to Savoy and
Nice, and the Emilia and Tuscany will tremble for
the same fate. You have not submitted to the law
of necessity, but have performed such acts as re-
duced us to a necessity which did not exist."

Sign'r Gucrazzi then mentioned the events
which took place during the voting, and concluded
thus :—" I do not believe that this cession is worth
the possession of Central Italy to us. We are con-
strained by command of the Emperor to go no
further. We must advance alone. We have
Garibaldi and a people numbering 11 millions, and
have no need of foreign aid."

Signor Guerazzi voted against the treaty.

Different orators spoke for and against the treaty.
Signor Caratti demonstrated in his speech that, as
Sardinian was to disappear as a special Power in
order to become an Italian kingdom, she was
obliged to give up Savoy and Nice. This discourse
was warmly applauded,
The discussion will be resumed to-morrow.

MARSEILLES, MAY 25.

Six vessels of the fleet were recalled yesterday.
The fleet has received orders to complete provision-
ing. There is nothing to indicate an imminent de-
parture, and the order to provision is believed to be
only a precautionary measure.

MUNICH, MAY 25.
King Maximilian 11. intends visiting shortly the

Royal Court of Wirtemberg. His Majesty will
probably also visit other Courts of Southern Ger-
many.

OPENING OF THE SPANISH CORTES.
MADRID, MAY 25.
The Cortes were opened to-day by the Queen in

person.

The Royal speech recalls the war with Morocco,
which it says has ended in a glorious peace, and in
a treaty compensating as much as possible for the
expenses of the Treasury. The relations of Spain
with all the Powers are satisfactory.
The convention with Rome will tranquillise the
public conscience and facilitate progress. The Pope
has thus received a token of the attachment of the
Queen and the nation.

The Queen daplores the Carlist attempt ; but, the
danger being removed, is happy to accord an
amnesty.

The Chamber will shortly receive the budget and
political and administrative projects of law.
The Queen, in conclusion, reckons upon the union
of the nation, which will ensure stability to the
Throne and happiness to the country.
