THE AFRICA's NEWS.

The steamer Africa which has arrived IN
New York, with news to July oth, brings
some items of considerable interest although
her dates are not so late by two days as those
telegraphed from Newfoundland. We give
summary.
| Italy, GarIbaIdi, ISc.
1t is asserted that the most violent pressure
was being exercised by the French emperor
on both the courts of Naples and Turin, for
the enforcement of confederation, equally re-
pugnant to the one and the other. But the
semi-official OpiHione of Turin, in reference to
| the proposed alliance with Naples, says
"The ministry firmly adheres to the nation
| al principle, and refuses TO enter into any en-
gagement which might carry them away from
the line Of policy they have always followed.
| 1t is necessary to temporise, in order to neu-
tralize the activity Of diplOmatists, who think
that Piedmont, to save the Neapolitan dynas-
| ty, should adhere to the proposed alliance.
Snch an alliance is inadmissible on account of
the opposition Of public opinion"
The Independence Beige says that Pied
mont has placed conditions OH the acceptance
of the alliance with Naples, which are equva-
lent to a refusal. For instance, the govern
ment has demanded that the Neapolitan gov
ernment not only recognize the annexation of
| Romagna, but of the probable annexation of
the Marches and Of Umbria. The relations
| between the court of Naples and the Holy See
render such a course impossible. LIE Nord
states that the conditions which the court of
| Turin desire to impose on Naples were as fol-
lows: first, the government of Naples shall
definitely break with Austria; second, it shall
give and cause to be accepted at Rome the
counsels which itself has received and accept
ed third, it shall adopt line of policy tend
ing to the complete independence OF Italy;
| fourth, promised reforms shall be really ef
fected.
A letter from Paris dated July 9th, says -
'There is some reason to think that Louis Ma
! poleOn is half serious in advising Victor
Emanuel to accept the proffered alliance of
| Bomba ii. But the conditions that Cavour
proposes, whether accepted or rejected by
that unlucky prince, secure the control of the
fate of ltaly-so long and SO far as it remains
subject to the control of orthodox diplomacy
and law OF nations, and the rest of the ortho-
dOx bosh-in the hands of the ablest living
European statesman. Do not let u.s. any of
us, forget that up to to-day-whatever may
happen tomorrow Camille Cavour has been,
on the whole, the ablest, most efficient, practi-
cal worker in promoting the great cause of
Italian nationality. will not say that he has
outwitted Napoleon; he has done better he
strength and King Bombettas weakness are
to be mediately attributed to the congress of
Paris and the private conversations at Plom-
bieres"
The French consul at Genoa had refused to
sign the papers OF a captain of a French

possibly procure for him a couple of steamers
armed with Armstrong guns. Another letter
has the following =
Provisions, arms, and camp materials are
being continually sent off to Sicily from this
place. AS to men, Genoa at this time CON
tans quite an army of volunteers from all
parts, but especially from Venetia, upper Ita-
ly, and Romagna. There are also a certain
number of Frenchmen, who, after fighting un-
der their own flag, are only waiting an oppor-
tunity to share Garabaldi's fortunes. The
French non-commssoned officers are the OBJ
Ject Of especial favor. The Siclian army has
great need OF instructors, and Garibaldi and his
officers are well aware that better than those
cannot be found elsewhere.

to dispose of the quarrel between the com
mons and the lords, Cor, rather, the indigna-
tion in the commons against the lords, in re
gard to the paper duty,) as easily as possible.
Lord Palmerston temporizcs and seeks adroitly
to save his ministry from disruption. In the
course of the debate that followed, portion
of his party, such as Mr.. Conyngham, Mr. Lea
than, Mr. Osborne, and others, secuted the
resolves as altogether inadequate" Mr.
Gladstone, chancellor of the exchequer, made
one of his wonderfully effective speeches, and
drew the most rapturous applause from the
liberal members. He denounced the assump
tions of the lords without measure; and, while
sustaining the resolves, declared that he would
be ready for something more effective. He
created sensation by speech differing es-
sentialy in the tone from that delivered by
Lord Pamerston. The Liverpool Times says:
"The speech from the opening to the close,
is marvellous exhibition of acute reasoning
and forcible defamation, and every sentence
has a ge-hammer kind of power, which
caused the house to ring with acclamationS.
When he accused the opposition, not mem
Dor of which, so far, had breathed syllable
during the debate, of being the partisans of a
gigantic innovation, the most gigantic and the
most dangerous that has been attempted in
our times, strong expressions, but certainly
not stronger than the circumstances warrant

them on the policy they have shown of being
its silent partisans, the leaders of the tory
party are said to have stood aghast" The
next day, July 9th, the debate was resumed,
and there was powerful speech by Mr.
Bright, in the same tone as Mr.. Gladstone's
The resolves were then passed by great major
tiles, the tories voting for them.
