Il The gmissisR various paperssassigned
to GeReral sCialdini, and which appears
to have obtained credit at Madrid, never
had, have now ascertained beyond
doubt, the least foundation in fact.
General Cialdini, who served long in
Spain, who married Spanishlady, and
has many friends in that country, often
visits it in his private capacity, and he
was about to pay one Of. those, visits
when the report in question arose, upon
which he resolved not to go, as, being on
intimate or friendly terms with a great
many of the men who brought about the
revolution, it would be believed by all
the world that he went there deputed by
his Government, and with a political
object. He probably does not consider
that secret mission would be consist
ent with his, rank, and station, zandssos
does not .desire.to have it attributed to-
him. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
the report of the Duke of Aosta as King
Of Spain is as yet entirely imaginary
and conjectural but if hereafter the
crown of Spain were to be offered to
him, there can be mo doubt that he
would accept it, and that the distinction
of such a preference would be
in the highest degree gratifying both
to the Italian nation and to the house of
Savoy. 1t is true Prince Humbert is
said to be of very delicate constitu-
tion, which he has not improved by living
in many respects, as if he were robust
man, but it is hoped that he will live
and have children,g and, should heTnot,
there is Che Duke Of Genoa. youth of
excellent promise, and the son of a brave
and amiable Prince whom Italy loved
and has never ceased to regret. The
young Duke, who is in his fifteenth
year, is going toEt9n, Englandua step
which I hear General Menabred did
much to promote, and to which the King
and the Duchess have given their con-
sent. The Duchess was hard to per-
suade, for she feared lest hereto asso-
ciates should have bad influence on her
sons religious principles.
My private accounts from Italy are
favorable to the stability of the Mena-
bred Cabinet. ePasini, the=new Minis
ter kf Public works, is said to be man
Of great ability, but new in public life
but perhaps little old in years to take
charge of a department which requires
good deal of activity in its chief. In
other respects he seems a most eligible
persons, and has been highly esteem
ed, not only by his countrymen, the
Venetians, but by the Austrians, when
they held that province. The italian
Parliament is to meet from the 18th to
the goth of November. The supporters
of the ministry speak confidently of
its strength, but there will probably be
some sharp fighting when the discussion
of fthe7billsIfor the reorganization of the
public service shall come on. syisE Il
The Vienna Presse, according to one
of to-night's papers, says that Count
Usedone intends resigning his diplo-
matte functions, his post at the Court of
Italy having become less agreeable to
him since the La Marmora affair. This
report is probably mere malignant in
vention from whatever source it may
originally proceeded. Count Usedone
came out of the "La Marmora affair"
triumphant, and La Marmora was uni
versally blamed. 1t is not usually the
man who wins, but he who loses, that
vacates the field, resigns and sinks into
obscurity. TheVienna paper need look
no further back than to- the I s6G
campaign to find examples of this.
To-night's Liberte publishes a letter
addressed by General Prim to M. Emile
de Girardin, in reply to a very long one
from Girardin to Prim, published in the
same paper. The Following are some Of
the most striking passages:
1--WE knew that we were overthrowing
an arbitrary power which constantly vi
olated the primary law.-We knew what
we wished to put in its place. a liberal,
monarchical and constitutional power,

word, to govern"
