Itnlinn Affairs.

The king OF Naples mas granteu Oousu-
tuition to the people, which is published in
the public journals, and is identical with the
Constitution of lS4s. The papers maliciously
print it with the preamble of the King at
that time, in which he called God to witness
his sincerity, and proclaimed his unalterable
will to maintain that Constitution, which
three months later he repealed, banishing and
imprsoning all who had put faith in his
word. ....
The principal point of the policy of the new
Neapolitan Cabinet is an alliance with Sar-
dinia, which has been proffered to Victor
Emmanuel, who declines to put such an OBJ
stacle in the way of his idea of Italian unity,
and therefore has evsded the offer by send
ing counter proposition, that if the Con-
stitution is introduced in earnest, and the
people are satisfied with it, if the right of
Sicily to dispose of herself is acknowledged
by the King of Naples, if he accedes to an
offensive and defensive alliance against Aus
tra and will use his influence to induce the
Pope to renounce the Legations, Sardinia
will enter into an alliance with Naples.
This is equivalent to refusal. On the
other hand, the French Emperor urges the
acceptance of the Neapolitan offer, in order
to stop the revolutionary movement; Russia
| is desirous to save the royal family of Naples,
| and Prussia is opposed to any greatterritorial
changes. 1t is said to be known that King
Ferdinand consulted the Pope whether he
should grant Constitution and ally himself
with Victor Emmanuel. The answer was
that the Roman Catholic Church had no Oh
lection to any form of government so long
as it respected the rights and property of the
Church, and that an alliance with Sardinia
might be excused by political necessity.
In this state of affairs, both Naples and
Sardinia are in q critical condition, the first
in danger of revolution, and the other sub
iect to the pressure of the French and othe
continental governments.
The Turin correspondent of the New Yorl
Tribune states that, just as he was writing
intelligence reached there that the Frencl
Garrison at Rome had received orders t
evacuate the town and retire to Civita Vcc
CHA, upon which he thinks there will i'm
mediately be a revolutionary outbreak a
Rome. He says: "On the day that the las
Frenchman leaves the guard-house OF th
Vatican, the Pope has another chance to fle
for his life, either to Spain or Germany"
will be remembered, however, that Hi
Holiness has now the Irish Brigade and SOM
Belgians in his service, under Gen. Lemori
ciere, and it is more probable that the with
drawal of the French is because the troops c
the Pope are thought sufficient for thepresery
alton of order.
Garibaldis revolution has been revolt
tionized. The people of Palermo assemble
in mass and demanded the removal of tn
; Ministry, whom they accused of all sorts {
mal-administration throwing the countr
. into disorder dividing the provinces int
: districts, removing all public officers
q mGsse, closing the tribunals, trusting
c capable persons, and of Indifferent charactc
It with the government of the provinces, CO.
ferring dictatorial power upon them, al
Il worst of all, giving preference to we
a known Bourbonists or Mazzinians.
;, These charges, which are somewhat Co
|
show that the revolution had succeeded
4, establishing, in very brief space, a state
y things almost as bad us the old regime; Il
!. sum of them, probably, is that there we
l. not as many offices as expectants-the san
d difficulty that our country labors undeT b
e there, revolution was so recent that it W
n naturally the first resort of the people. A
i ter a violent tumult, which threatened h
n loss OF the Sicilian cause, Garabaldi yielde
ir and a new Ministry was formed out of nam
n proposed by deputation from the people
Ie mass meeting.
ic Garabaldi has issued proclamation d
claring himself royalist, and for annex
& ton to Sardinia and for Victor Emmanu
Y "who will head them against Austria"
