Turin for a long time to come will not be able to

the public knows nothing about; this creates no sur-

Petrulla should be forced to retrograde, unless,

Cabinet of Vienna duly informed of all that goes
on here, and prepare the way for reactionary
vengeance. As no one believes in the sincere
political conversion of the King of Naples, and
as it is notorious that he takes counsel with
Vienna and Rome, it is but natural for us to see in.
all this some Jesuitical network, some diplomatic
snare in everything he does, whenever it seems to
favour us. Hence the country is unanimous in its
warning cry to Count Cavour—" Do sot trust the
Neapolitan Bourbon."
For the rest, the Prince of Petrulla enjoys per-
sonally no sort of consideration. When he was
sent as minister to Vienna, Prince Schwarzenburg
was the Prime Minister of the empire, and as he
ked. lied q long time at Naples and knew the mode
i by the new representative, he was
unwilling ..o receive him, so that high influence had
to be used to overcome the profound aversion felt
by the German for the Neapolitan Prince, I ought
rather to say Sicilian Prince, whose name and fair

Prince Pandolfini, better-,known as the Prince of
San Giuseppe, which was Vi title during- his fa-
ther's life-time. He is the wealthiest landowner in
Sicily, and highly esteemed for the nobility of his
character. During the revolution of 1848 he de-
clined the post of Minister, but as a peer he votod
for the exclusion of the house of Bourbon from the,
throne. After that he lived in exile and has been
several times in England, where he acquired many
friends among your eminent statesmen. He is now

Government. He was presented yesterday to Count
Cavour by Count Michael Amari, who has kindly
undertaken to represent here the Provisional Go-
vernment of that island.
You will receive to-day the news that the Sicilian
ministry is changed. The advocate Crispi, who.
was Minister of the Interior, was not much liked.
by the people, who never thought he had sufficient
administrative talent. He is succeeded by Signor
Natoli, a native of Messina, who has been long
living in honourable exile. He is a bold man when.
boldness is requisite, but his judgment is calm, and
his manners conciliate every one. Now that he is
in the ministry the Marquis Torrearsa, the Ca-ea-
Here Cordova, and others of the same sort, migh t
easily take office again. In the meantime Colonel'.
Orsini remains, a safe and meritorious man.
The vessels and passengers captured by the Nea-
politan cruisers have been expected for the last
two days at Genoa, where they possibly may have
arrived at this very moment. I may as well tell you
that many erroneous and confused accounts have
been promulgated about Neapolitan events, which
I have the good fortune of accurately knowing
through the medium of reliable information sent by
letters. It has been said, for instance, that the
foreign ships of war had saluted the new flag
hoisted by the King of Naples. Whereas, lam
authentically informed that it was only saluted by
the Russian and Spanish men-of-war, because their
respective Governments wish the Bourbon dynasty
to be saved.

Respecting the murderous assault committed on
the French minister, M. Brenier, it was said to be
the work of the lazzaroni, who hissed and insulted
him with the vilest epithets ; but it is to be ob-
served that these gentry are not generally armed
with clubs or sticks, and most assuredly they never
carry life-preservers. Such bludgeons are prohi-
bited at Naples, and it is only the police agents that
carry them. when out of uniform. Now, lam told
by my correspondent that many of these agents
were seen in plain clothes mixed up with the mob ;
and, as they know they would be thrown out of
employment were the liberal party to triumph, they
are thought to have been furious against M. Brenier,
whom they suppose to be the chief author of the
change, lie having been at Portici a few hours be-
fore the King's decision was taken. For the matter
of that, if the English minister, Elliot, had passed
along the street of Toledo at the same time, he
would have been served in the same manner by the
reactionary mob. The fact of police agents ha \ring
been present is further proved by one of them being
killed. He was going to strike with his loadad
bludgeon a man that cried out " Garibaldi fol.'
ever," when the latter anticipated the blow anct
struck dead the man who was crying out " Long
live Francis II." _ _ _

The whole of the press has been speaking of the
missions to Sicily,. for the purpose of restoring har-
mony in the first instance of the advocate Depretis,
and later of M. Lorenzo Valerio. Both of them
being friends of Garibaldi and advanced liberals,
both were requested to go to the island and help
their illustrious friend in the task of administra-
tion, release him in fact from the intrigues
'of certain incorrigible republicans. Whether they
disliked the duty, or thought the danger by no
means so grave as others did, I cannot say, but they
lingered and loitered on the way. It is to be
hoped that the enemies of Italian unity under
Victor Emmanuel's sceptre will fail in their
attempt to plant discord in the island of Sicily,
such as they planted only too successfully in 1848
amid the ranks of the Sardinian army, and among
the Genoese and the Lombards at large.
The Bishop of Faenza was yesterday condemned
to three years' imprisonment and a fine of 4,000 f.,
for contempt of the royal authority. The Bishop
of Piacenza was to be tried on the sth. It was
positively stated that representations had been
made from Paris to Turin, urging moderation in
regard to the clergy.
