Ihe Dublin D0ly ErpTeSS reports that Poerls
and his fellow exiles compelled the captain OF
the ship David Stewart, as soon as the Nea-
politan steamer Stromboli left them, two hun
dred miles from land, to steer direct for Cork.
AS soon as the exiles landed at Queenstown,
the enthusiasm of some of them rose to such a
pitch that they actually kissed the soil upon
which they first planted their foot as freemen.
Another account says that when the ship was
outside the Straits of Gibraltar, the exles openly
mutinied, demanding that the captain should
steer for Ireland. He fatty refused, when he
was deprived of his command, and the second
mate appointed commander.
France.-The Paris correspondent of the
Times says From an official source it is stated
that the Princes retirement was caused by diff
ferences of opinion on the question of internal
and external policy with the greater part of the
Cabinet, but especially with Walewski, Welen,
and Foulds. 1t is stated that on the Italian
question the Prince by no means desired an at
tack on the part of Piedmont, supported by
France, in order to expel the Austrians, but
asked the Emperor's Government should pro-
claim and cause to be respected the principle
of non-intervention in the affairs of Central
Italy. MI
The Prince desired that France should notify
the European Powers that she would support a
demand of Piedmont and that she would give
support to her authority In case trouble broke
out in the Duchies, Parma, Tuscany, or in the
Romanza; or should Austria desire to occupy
those countries under pretext of establishing
order therein. .i|i
Walewski and Fould supported the system of
peace at any price. IIH
1t is added that the Emperor participated in
the views of the Prince, aud did not think it
would be expedent to disclose Immediately his
full ideas by change in the Ministry, but con-
scented, uhwilingly, to the Princes retirement.
An opinion is expressed that this retirement
will only be temporary.

Brothers of Tuscany: From this land to
which God has confded the sacred depot of
Italian liberty; from this land, which through
so many sacrifices have found means to con-
