A letter from Paris, dated July 18th, dis
cusses at length the influences now at work to
arrest Garibaldi's war against Naples, and EN-
barrass Victor Emanuel. Diplomacy, which

assassin, has undertaken to arrest the course
Of Garibadi, and save the stupid scamp

was understood and meant by Louis
Napoleon that there should be no Interference
In Italy against any attempt Of the people to
realize their dream of Italian unity and indie
peHdence." But the royal brotherhood of dy-
nasties can not restrain anxiety for the despi-
cable king of Naples and therefore diplomacy
is urging Louis Napoleon to use his influence
with Sardinia in favor of that living curse to
southern Italy. The letter to which we refer
goes on as follows
The monarchies of the continent in push

scheme of an Italian confederation. But when
Napoleon proposed this scheme at Villafranca
he did not know the difficulties it would en-
counter; the combination Is certainly a beau
tiful one in theory, but it meets no sympathy
among the Italians, and is calculated to give
birth to fatal complications. Piedmont is vio

king Of Naples, who now shows Willingness
to accept it, does so only as temporary meas.

So disastrous a result as this for Piedmont
and for Italy cannot be the aim of Napoleon :;
It would be contrary to the promise he made
Italy IN the commencement of the late war,
and contrary to his constantly expressed sym
pathy for the Italian cause. We cannot be-
lieve, therefore, that Napoleon is lending any
serious aid to the court of Naples in the for
nation OF an alliance with Piedmont, or in the
organization of an Italian confederation which
shall tie Venetia and render Piedmont power
less II cannot be doubted that he has recon-
mehded such an alliance to Count Cavour, but
we must wait to see the motive and result of
thlS recommendation before passing a verdict
upon it.
The position Of Count Cavour in regard to

son to believe the prime minister of Sardinia
was never more perpeXed TO see his way
through than at the present moment, and il Is
well indeed, for the rising fortunes of this gal
liant little state, that she has not man at the
helm less firm or less lOng.sighted than Ca
your. We see, however, two great and aston
ishing facts in regard to the Piedmontese cabi
net which are not clear, the first of which
is that Garibaldi in constant and drec
communication with this cabinet, and will
his army sufficiently organized, has ceased
to advance and the second, that THU
cabinet does not at once and peremptorly
refuse the overtures eff the king of Naples fol
an alliance. The friends of Garibaldi insis
that he is waiting for the reaction at Naples
and if there be no reaction, they say that he
will then abandon the Neapolitans entirely,
and direct his unique attack upon Messina.
The frequent agents that pass back and forth
between Garibaldi and the palace of Victor
Emanuel prove that there is complete I'M
Outstanding between these two, at least; and,
since there exists at Palermo no reason why
the attack on the Neapoltan forts should not
take place at once, il is argued that diplomacy
at Turin is alone responsible for the delay.
After all, everything depends upon what
Piedmont may do, or rather upon what she is
permitted TO do. If she refuses totally any
