PARIS, OCT. 12.

The Constitutionnel publishes an article, signed
M. Boniface, on the invasion of the Neapolitan
territory by the Sardinian troops. The following
is a summary :

" The principle of autonomical independence of
nations which are regularly constituted admits any
dynastic changes which are brought about by in-
terior political revolutions. The principle of non-
intervention is a consecration of this right. The
Neapolitans and Sicilians had a right to make a
revolution in their country ; but it does not belong
to any foreign State, no more to Sardinia than to
Austria, to intervene in their internal affairs, and
by military intervention to give them a new politi-
cal existence. Between the invasion of Garibaldi
and that of Sardinia there is a great difference.
Garibaldi came to raise and to direct revolution in
the interior. It was not with his bands that he
could conquer a people numbering 10,000,000.
He could only communicate to them the proper
spirit in their struggle against a Government
stamped with unpopularity. The Sardinian inva-
sion has quite a different character. It constitutes
a direct intervention of one regularly constituted
State in the affairs of another independent State.
Strange to say the Sardinian invasion took place
without any declaration of war, the representative
of the King of Naples still being at Turin.
The intervention of Piedmont is in contradiction
with all the principles invoked by herself."
M. Boniface then endeavours to show that, by
the entry of the Piedmontese troops into the
Roman States, Sardinia likewise violated the prin-
ciple of neutrality. Count Cavour gave it to be
understood that the entry of the Sardinian troops
into the States of the Church was principally di-
rected against the influence of Garibaldi. But now,
on the contrary, it has become evident that they go
to aid him.

M. Boniface deplores the conduct of Sardinia,
who is responsible before Europe for the initiative
she has just taken. The European Powers consti-
tute a jurisdiction which is naturally alarmed at
disturbances of that kind. It appertains to Europe
to redress forgotten rights, and to remind the Go-
vernment which has deviated from the proper
course the respect due to the laws which are bind-
ing on all States, because founded on justice, civili-
sation, and the interests of peoples.

PARIS, OCT 11 (Evening.)

The Paine states that the loss of the Garibal-
dians in the battle of the Volturno was 4,500 men ;
that of the royal troops was not so great. The
Garibaldians will not attack Cupua before the 20th
instant.

The Presse Bays that the news of the Dresden
Journal, that the Prussian Ambassador had been
recalled from Turin, is inexact. The Pays, on the
contrary, confirms the news.

TURIN, OCT. 11, 7.30 P.M.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the order of the day, proposed by the committee
who rendered homage to Garibaldi, and unani•
mously expressed their approval of the project
of law of the annexations, was agreed to by
ballot, by 290 votes against 6.

TURIN, OCT. 12.
The discussion on the project of law en the an-
nexations was continued to-day.
Count Cavour acknowledged that the discussion
of that law has brought the different parties into
closer union. He said
" There is a great difference between the past
annexations and those now under consideration.
Immediately after the conclusion of the Treaty

of Villafranca, the annexations could not be

precipitated. A Congress was also spoken of,
at which we were to take;part. As regards the
annexation of Southern Italy, the same danger
no longer exists. Your vote is demanded in
order that you may give to the inhabitants of
those provinces a proof that the steps taken by the
Government have met with your approval. As
regards the disunion which has arisen between
the Government and Garibaldi, the fault has not
been ours. Public opinion leaves no doubt on this
point. The Ministry, therefore, decided on pre-
senting themselves before the Parliament, in
order that it might judge their policy. This is
the greatest homage that "can be paid to any man.
The crown, after mature consideration, refuses to
accept the offer made by us to tender our resigna-
tion, being of opinion, that Government would
thereby be too much weakened at home and abroad.
It only remained to us, therefore, to address our-
selves to you, not that you might judge Garibaldi,
who is not subject to your examination, but our-
selves, over whom you have power. Should you
support us we shall go to meet Garibaldi, and pre-
sent to him the order of the day proposed by your
committee which you will approve, and which we
accept with all our hearts. We shall offer him
our hand, and invite him to union in the name of
the Italian Parliament.

" The cession of Italian territory as an indem-
nity has again been spoken of. To this report I
give a formal denial, and add, that when the an-
nexation shall have been accomplished, any cession
of territory will become impossible. Nobody will
be able to ask such a cession from a country with a
population of 24,000,000.
" An attack against Rome and Venice has also
been spoken of. We desire that the Eternal City
should become the capital of Italy. But as regards
the means to that end we shall be able to say in
what condition we should be in six months hence.

The revolution in Rome will be accomplished by
the conviction that liberty is favourable to religion.
Respecting Venetia, Europe does not wish that
we should make war upon Austria. We must take
into consideration the opinion of the great Powers.
We must bring about a change in this opinion.
Europe believes Ls incapable of delivering Venetia
alone. Let us show ourselves united, and that
opinion will change. It is untrue that the Vene-
tians are peacefully submitting to their destiny.
Austria has flattered them in vain. Publie opi-
nion will change not only in France and England,
but Germany also, which is becoming liberal, will
be in our favour."

Count Cavour concluded by making an appeal for

concord.

Thq order o the day of the Committee rendering

homage to Garibaldi, and unanimously expressing
their approval of the project of law on the annexa-
tions, was then put to the vote by ballot.
The result was 290 in favour and 6 against the
project.

BERLIN, OCT. 11.

The news of a Prussian Protest, identical with
one of Austria against the Sardinian policy, and
of the recall of the Prussian Ambassador from
Turin, is unfounded.

It has become doubtful whether Baron Schieinitz
will be present at Warsaw.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 6.
The Grand Vizier arrived yesterday at Monica.
The Russian Minister has presented a note, com-
plaining of the Grand Vizier's return before having
completed his mission.

Ncws has been received here of a great Persian
victory over the Turcomans, near Merwi.

THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Tagus, Captain Babot, from Lisbon, on the ith
inst., has arrived with the above mail.

She brings seven passengers and £2,707 in
specie.

On the 7th inst. she exchanged colours with the
Pera, off Burlings.

Lisbon exchange on London was quoted at 54}
for three months' sight.

THE SARDINIAN CHAMBERS.

The Turin journals publish the report of the com-
mittee appointed to examine the Annexation Bill.
It is of great length, and altogether favourable to
the measure. The document declares that

Neither in its substance, nor its purpose and ob-
ject has the law need of justification. It is the
affirmation of our national right—it is the develop-
ment and almost altogether the complement of
our national programme. The union we hope for,
and which is intended formally to authorise, is the
logical and necessary consequence of the already
accomplished union of the other provinces ante-
cedently enfranchised: It is the application of
the same principle—the corollary of that system by
which the political constitution of Italian nationality
has been definitively settled in the form of an united
kingdom under the sceptre of the House of Savoy.
Those only can oppose fresh annexations who were
opposed to the first, and that out Chamber was not.

M. Andreucci, the reporter, concludes as follows :
There is nothing, therefore, to oppose the favour-
able reception of the bill. By approving it, the
Chamber will decree an act which is an immense
step in the national life and in the constitutional
polity of Italy, and will, with its full confidence,
give to the King's Government all the moral
strength it needs for the accomplishment of its
task. But the committee, deferring to the initia-
tive expressed by a great number of members, it is
of opinion that the Chamber will not have entirely
discharged its duty if it did not declare by an ex-
plicit vote its applause, its admiration, and its gra-
titude, as well as that of the nation, toward him to
whom and to whose valour Italy owes the triumph
of its liberty. The committee, therefore, terminates
its labours by proposing to you the following order
of the day :
" The Chamber of Deputies, at the same time
that it highly applauds the signal bravery of the
land and sea forces, and the generous patriotism of
the volunteers, bears witness to the admiration and
gratitude of the nation towards the heroic General
Garibaldi, who, by succouring with magnanimous
ardour the populations of Sicily and Naples, has re-
stored to the Italians, in the name of Victor Em-
manuel, so great a part of Italy."

NEAPOLI7'AN NEWS.

LEGHORN, OCT. 8.

The following is a note addressed by Count
Cavour to Baron Winspeare, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Sicilian Ma-

jesty :

" Most illustrious Baron,—The events which
have taken place in Naples during these last months
had already determined the King's Government to
send to that port some men of war having troops on
hard, with a view to provide for the security of
Sardinian subjects. After that time the state of
affairs in that city became more and more alarming.
The King, Francis 11., abandoned his capital, and
thus de facto abdicated his crown in the presence of
his people. The civil war which rages in the Nea-
politan territory, and the absence of a regular Go-
vernment, place in extreme danger those great
principles on which social order rests.
" In this emergency the citizens and the consti-
tuted authorities of the municipality of Naples for-
warded or presented to his Majesty King Victor
Emmanuel addresses bearing numberless signatures,
imploring the aid of that Sovereign, whom Provi-
dence trusted with the mission of reconstituting
and pacifying Italy.

" Mindful of the duties imposed upon him by that
mission his Majesty the King, my august Sovereign,
ordered a body of troops to be sent to Naples. This
measure, which put an end to a state of things from
which disorder and anarchy may spring, will pre-
serve Italy and Europe from very serious injury,
and spare the further effusion of Italian blood.

" While fulfilling the duty of acquainting your
Excellency with this measure, I take the oppor-
tunity, &c.,

" C. CAVOUR."

PRUSSIAN INSOLENCE.

A correspondent in a contemporary says :—lt is
not many days since you gave an account of and
commented on the ruffianly violence used by the
Prussian officials to an unoffending English travel-
ler; but can you imagine the Prussian Custom-
house officers having the insolence to attempt to
board and search her Majesty's yacht Fairy when
going up the Rhine to wait the order of her Royal
mistress at Mayence ?
The attempt was made at Emmerich, and the
Custom-house officers had a narrow escape of being
run down, boat and all, by the indignant officers of
the yacht.
Enraged at being frustrated in their outrageous
attempt, the Custom-house people telegraphed to
their comrades at Cologne, when another attempt
was made to board the yacht, but of course admit-
tance was refused.

The Cologne authorities then had the audacity to
refuse permission to the officers of the yacht to land,
although in their uniform, until the British Consul
made his appearance on the scene and rather altered
the case. .

Telegrams were sent to Berlin, and in due course
orders were received to allow the yacht to proceed
to Mayence without further molestation.
And yet these jacks in office have the coolness to
talk of the rudeness and ruffianism of English tra-
vellers.
It is time they received some lessons in civilisa-
tion.

WITHDRAWAL OF GOLD FROM THE
BANK OF ENGLAND.
(From the Times City Artiele.)
It appears that in addition to the requirement of
£600,000 in gold by the Societe d'Escompte at
Paris, the exact particKlars of which were stated on
Wednesday, £200,000 in gold has been required
by a London house on account of the Bank of
Madrid. The financial odvices from Paris yester•
day morning also mention that the Societe
d'Escompte were not only large buyers of bills ou
London to pay for the sums obtained here, but were
in
also purchasing gold Paris at 11 per mille pre-
mium. It is added, however, that they were be-
lieved to have almost completed their operations,
and that the quotation of gold was expected speedily
to return to its normal state.

(From the Daily News City drticle.)
The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank
yesterday for exportation was no less than £400,000,
making a total of £620,000 since the date of the
last return. Nearly the whole of the amount taken
yesterday goes to the Bank of Madrid, which is
believed to pass it on to the Mint. It is under-
stood that the orders for this particular purpose
have now been completed, although it is possible
that a few additional parcels may be taken out
during the next few days for other objects. The
point wherein the money market will be chiefly
affected by these operations consists in the contrac-
tion of the circulation. As £620,000 in gold has
been removed from the Bank vaults and sent away,
it follows that a like amount of Bank notes, pre-
viously available for commercial requirements, has
been cancelled. Ihe gold taken is not likely to be
speedily restored.
