THE FOREIGN NEWS.
BY THE ARABIA's MAILS.

TURIN, June 20, lOOU.-he nave ueTeS
since yesterday, the son of the Sandman EN-.
bassador at Naples, with confidential letters
and propositions from the distressed King
Bombino. Frightened out of his wits by Gar
ibadi's miraculous success, he first turned
toward Vienna, imploring his cousin, the Aus
trian emperor, to support him against revolu-
| ton. The emperor answered that he could
not help him more efiicaciously than by con.
tinuing to send Austrian soldiers, under the
name of the Bavarian volunteers, pecemeal,
| by the Trieste steamers to the coast of Naples
but he advised his royal cousin not to yield
one inch to the difficulties of the present. and,
relying on the sacred cause of divine right,
rather, temporarily to risk the crown than to
risk constitution. Disappointed at Vienna,
the king Of Naples sent the commander Mar
tinaco, an enlightened and truly liberal states
man, to Napoleon with the cunning promise of
introducing the French laws and constitution,
both at Naples and Sicily, if the emperor
would only guarantee his double crown. Ma
poleon received the ambassador in the most
friendly manner, depored the errors of the
Neapoltan government, in having refused to
listen to the reiterated counsels of France, and
expressed MS disgust for the cruelty of the
bombardment of Palermo, and the cowardice
of the capituation. Six months earlier, he
would have been but too happy to act as medi-
tator between the king and his subjects but
having contracted different engagements, he
could not at the present crisis intervene in any
way. Still he advised the king to try his
luck at Turin by frankly adopting an Italian
national policy and alliances.
Martinico returned crest fallen. The king,
deeply moved by this failure, fell sick, and is
now laid up at Portia. His ministers advised
him to grant limited constitution, to send pro.
posals to Turin, to promise anything, to confer
full royal powers upon any of his uncles to
leave the country, and to return in better times
in order to undo whatever his uncles should
have done or promised. We don't know how
far this platform, copied from the conduct and
policy OF King Ferdinand in 1920, will be ac-
cepted, but the first step is done. The conf
dental letter of the king has arrived at Turin,
promising national and Italian policy the
closest alliance, constitution, Italian coors and
whatever Victor Emanuel may require, on
condition that Sicily should be restored and
the throne of Naples, with his army of 100000
men, protected against Garibaldi'S volunteers,
now about 1000 men strong, and against the
Sicilian irregulars, who muster about 10000
muskets, but have as yet no cavalry and
scarcely any artillery.
The Turin ministerial paper contains to-day
long article on this subject, saying openly
that the national movement, victorious in Sici-
y S"HHOt NC sbdy GU az tliS pISSGHb lLUIlGUt
that the destinies of the king of Naples have
been prearranged by himself, and that the new
kingdom cannot change its policy, by support
ing totterng throne which stands in the way
OF Italian unity. This means, practically that
the government will continue to favor new
expeditions tor reinforcing Garibaldi, and put
ting him in the position for attacking the
kingdom of Naples on the continent.
Col. Cosini is Just now organizing his men
who are to leave on Sunday night. From
among the ten thousand volunteers who have
tiocked to Genoa, he has picked out three
thousand men, many of them veteran soldiers,
others enthusiastic students, and tried officers
who have resigned their rank to enter into
Garibaldi's army. Money is supplied by sub.
scriptions, arms and cannons appear in mys.
terious way just when they are required. In
fact, they come from the royal arsenas.
Thus the Sicilian forces will soon be able to
cope with the Neapolitan mercenaries. And,
indeed, Garibaldi has need of these volunteers,
Tor, as far as the confidential letters from Pa
lermo are to be trusted, the islanders did not
do much in the beginning. When Garibaldi
arrived they had already lost their courage
He found no support in the population, not
even guides to show the way across the
mountains With the victory of Calatafimi
the tide turned at once, and the capture of
lOUl Vi EClCly. DUH, he
can only rely completely on his volunteers.
The Sician insurgents are not yet able to re-
sist an attack in the open field, and have
most superstitious fear of cavalry. AT Catan-
ia, however, they fought well, and expelled,
after street fight of two days, its garrison, de-
morazed by the pillage of the town.
The administrative question has likewise
been wisely solved by Garibaldi. 1t was fear
ed in the beginning that his ministry would be
Mazznian; but we are now informed that the
Marquis Of Torrearsa, well said by Cavour to
be man of conservative tendency, used to
business and administrative affairs, has been
badi vice dictator.
AS to the capture of the Ncapolitan steam
frigate Capri by the Sicilians, the news is too
good to be true
While Italy is working out her unity in the
only practicable way, Germany continues to
quarrel. The papers discuss the question
whether the interview at Baden has disap-
pointed Napoleon, or Francis Joseph, or the
prince Of Prussia, or each of them. The con.
stitutional question of Hessia is still unsettled
the federal army reform is still pending the
ambition of the small princes is still working
to create disunon and the ruin of the coun-
try ,; and the real patriots are despairing of
Germany.
The Steele publishes the following letter =
"Cdghari, June 19.-Austria and Naples, as
well as Rome, have spies and traitors every
where. Two offices, one Of whom calls HIM
self Angelo Creppa, and the other, Giovanni
Batista who has given no surname, real or
pretended, managed to creep into Medici's ex.
petition Both of them were spies. More
than dozen OF the pretended volunteers were
no better. They were landed, and given up
to the authorities at Cagliari.
This discovery has opened our ewes, and
thrown some light on the capture of the little
and the American clipper, The combined
force OF high wind and heavy sea having
driven the vessels out of their course for CagL
liars, the question arose as to what should be
the point of debarkation. a part of the vol
unteers demanded that it should be Cagiari,
where they might find Medic and thence pro-
coed in company others, who doubtless had
their reasons, insisted that the clipper and the
Title should keep apart from the rest, and in
the direction of the Neapolitan coast 1t was
during this dispute that the two vessels were
taken.
The strongest suspicious are entertained
here that Bourbonists or Austrlans got among
the genuine volunteers, and that they have,
by means which the future will doubtless
| bring to light, informed the Neapotan author
tiles of what was going on. This might ex-
| plain the sudden order received by the Nea-
| potan frigate, which captured the vessels, to
| quit Naples on an important mission. But
whatever may be the worth OF these presump-
tions, the fact of the sham volunteers is GER
tain. Advise, then, the committee charged
with the enrolment and embarkation to inquire
narrowly into the title and antecedents of
those who beg to be allowed to join the army
