A Turin letter of the 16th in the Presse thus
describes the goings on of the clerical prints in that
city :—" The clerical journals, on the occasion of
the fete of the Assumption, invoke the Holy Virgin
and all the saints in favour of the temporal power
of the Pope. The tirade of the Armonia is per-
fectly burlesque in its despair A signal reward
has been promised to those who honour the most
Holy Virgin. And who has honoured her more
than Pius IX. by declaring her immaculate ?
Come, beautiful Virgin (surria Vergine bella) give
this reward to our Holy Father. Let the nations
see how powerful is thy arm ; let those who
blaspheme thee every day be confounded, let them
be converted and live. Tender mother, we ex-
pect from thee a tremendous (strepitosa) blessing ;
the saints have made us acquainted with the great-
ness of thy heart, and the power of thy patronage
renders it certain. 'We will remain at thy feet,
at those feet which bruised the head of Lucifer,
the first ambitious spirit, the first traitor, the
first revolutionist in the world, nor will we leave
them until thou shalt have granted, and very
speedily too (e presto), that Pius IX. may be con-
soled in his afflictions, delivered from the perils
which surround him, the conqueror in the war-
fare he so heroically sustains, and Italy, delivered
from snares, made independent of the Evil One,
great in her piety, and one in her affection for the
Pope, and in her devotedness to the Holy see.'"
A letter from Thrill of the 16th says :—" After
the celebration of Te Deum in honour of the fete of
the Emperor of the French yesterday, in the Church
' of St. Francisco di Paula, in the presence of the
members of the French legation, the wearers of the
medal of St. Helena waited on Count de Ilayneval,
the French charge d'affaires, and offered him their
good wishes for his Majesty. At Milan, a Te Deum
in honour of the Emperor was chanted in one of the
principal churches, and was numerously attended.
The church was decked with French and Italian
flags, and so likewise were many private houses."
The Opinione of Turin explains as follOws
the rumours of General Cialdini's resignation.
The General having only accepted the mili-
tary command for the purpose of purging the
country of the brigands who infest it, has for some
time provisionally exercised the functions of Lieu-
tenant-General until a new one should be appointed.
Unable to devote his attention both to military and
civil affairs, he has urged upon the Government the
necessity of speedily providing for the latter, and
hence the rumours which have alarmed the public.
A communication from Naples, in the Presse,
says:—"Cialdini has succeeded. Brigandage is at
its last gasp. By a rapid march he first drove it
back on to the mountain fastnesses of Sore, Marano,
Pago, and Pietracalcina, near Benevento. Then, by
a concentric movement the troops, retracing their
steps, surrounded it on all sides and crushed it. The
brigands fight like men who have no hope, so that
extermination becomes a necessity. The troops are
now driving together the remnants, and as soon as
400 or 500 are united in any locality they will be
attacked on all sides."
