The National Guard of Turin was called out on
the 12th to suppress an apprehended insurrection of
the monks. The holy fathers, however, when they
saw the preparations made for their reception, thought
discretion was the better part of valour, and left
Archbishop FRANZONI to his martyrdom, and a very
pleasant sort of martyrdom it is, according to the
correspondent of the Opinione:—
"rl know (write, this correspondent) that the
holy r.,artyr is at Fenestrana. He supported during the
journey, with the indifference of a stoic, the hisses with
which he was greeted as he passed through
.differentsof
villages. The taints of old fasted, but the

During the repast light wine, at the conclusion old
sherry, because sherry is of all the products of Bacchus
that which Monsignore prefers the most. Then, after-
wards, if thora are guests, comes sparkling champagne.
We are assured that the daily expense for meat and
poultry alone is 45 livres."
The Croce di Savoia of Turin, of the 11th, states
that Count CAVOUR is spoken of as the successor of
SANTA Rosa as Minister of Agriculture and Com-
merce, and that it is rumoured the Piedmontese Par-
liament is to be convoked immediately. All the
Ministers are at Turin.

From Florence we learn that 1,400 recruits having
been confided to the care of foreign officers and sub-
officers, the Tuscan officers of the garrison addressed
a remonstrance to the Minister of War on the sub-
ject, stating that this measure inflicted a wound on
the national honour.

i%l. LAMA.4.TINE and MR. CROKER.
M. de Lamartine has addressed the following letter
to the Journal des Dibats:—

" Marseilles Lazaret, Aug. 12.
" Sir,—A recent article in the Journal des Debats,
relating to a recent publication of Mr. Croker on the
departure of Louis Philippe on the 24th of February,
contains, in relation to myselr, the most erroneous allega-
tions. The narrative which I have published is exact,
circumstantial, and attested by the most indisputable
evidence. I shall not repeat it. I content myself with
declaring that the assertions of Mr. Croher concerning me
are FALSE.

" The Commissioners named by me to protect, in case
of necessity, the character, the misfortune, and the dig-
nity of the King, were not those whom Mr. Croker has
named. They were MM. Lafayette, and Ferdinand do
Lasteyrie. They will. not refine to attest it.
"Receive, Sir, &c.

" A. DE LANAETINE."
It appears, from the above, that the credit due to
the statements made by Mr. Croker depends entirely
upon the comparative credibility of himself and M.
Alphonse de Lamartine. If there be any truth in
the old adage "Noscitur a socii," it will not require
much consideration to decide between the claim
to belief of the friend of the martyred Denys Affre,
on the one hand, and that of the associate, com-
panion, and executor of the notorious Marquis of
Uertford on the other.
