wore a sword. This work attracted the
attention of Marshal Ney, who made 10
Mini his private secretary, and afterwards
,r,rocnred for him a commission in the staff
IF the French army. he, rapidly rose to
the rank of brigadier general, and was Gre
ated baron of:the empire. He was-at the
head of News staff at the battle of Bautzen,
and materially contributed to the victory,
New then submitted his name for the rank
If General of division, but the Emperor
aatly refused, and Jomini, greatly an
noyed. went into the service of the En-
neror of Russia, who made him lieuten-
ant general and one of his personal aides
5e.camp. For this desertion he was SEN
fenced to death. But it is recorded, to
Jomini's credit, that he always refused to
serve actively against France and never
hetrayed plans Of French campaigns with
which he was acquainted. A good deal of
his history is Traditional and fabulous, and
memoirs of him, to be accurate, should be
-written.-London Express.
Death of Gen. OMaliey.-The French ar
nv has Just lost one OF its most gallant
officers BY the death, after only two or
three davis illness, of Gsn. O'Malley. He
was the son of one of the Irish emigrants
of ,9S, who entered the French service un-
der the Consulate. The late general, who
was in his 75th year. served for long time
in Algeria. He commanded regiment in
the Crimea, and got the English medal
with three clasps. He served in the Italian
campaign, when he got his promotion as
general of brigade for his distinguished
bravery at Magenta. He accompanied the
French expeditionary force under Gen.
Montauban to China, and on the departure
of the general in chief, was left in COM
mand of the troops. Subsequently he was
sent to take command fthe subdivision of
Constantine, then of Marseilles, and lastly
in the department of the Nievre. About
six or eight months ago, he was, at his own
request, placed or halfpay, He had suf-
fered much from wound in the ear re-
ceiyed in China; it was never healed, and
the attempt to stop the suppuration is
thought to have brought on the erysipe1as
which carried him off in two or three days.
He was Commander of the Legion of Hon
or, Commander of the Turkish Order of the
Mediidfe, Commander of the Italian Order
of St. Maurice and st. Lazare and had
moreover the Imperial Military Medal, and
the Chinese and italian Medals. A body
of military attended the religious service
in the Church of St.2Severin in the Ifth
ACCOMPLISHMENT of Paris, and paid him the

Italy-What they Say In Florencc.-The
London Tablet remarks:
A private letter from Florence gives de-
tails about he'royal family which it would
be impossible to publish and adds, that
" the King aud his friends SO distinctly
foresee the contingency of violent expul-
sion from the peninsula, that they have
taken their measures beforehand against
pecun1ary Embarrassment" "EverywheTe,p
says the same letter, "there is tile same
popular sentiment about the instability of
the throne" The Neapolitans 1--WE are still
quOtiDg) are waiting for Francis H.; the
Tuscans for Ferdinand; the Modenese for
Francis "; the Parmesans for Robert l.;
and the Pontificials, above all, for Plus TX.
The Lombards and AIilanese would be
looking for Francis Joseph, "if Austria had
not become what she is" The Republicans,
it seems to be generally felt, will get the
start and have temporary success, and
then " the universal hopes and expectation
OF the people" will be accomplished.
Victor Emmanuel final catastrophe
which the crimes and folies of this unfor-
tunate prince have provoked seems to be
at hand. All the accounts which REACH us
from Florence, and other cities of ItalS.

about to reap what he has sown. The
symptoms of decided action on the part of
the revolutionary factions, which now feel
themselves to be,stropger than the govern
ment, are SO menacing that France has dis
patched an agent to Florence Ito make
known her Intentions. NJ Schmidt was
instructed to inform the King and the Min
lister of War that if they. had no power to
control the Italian revo1utionists, /" the
french Government would itself adopt the
necessary measures to preserve the inter
ests of peace and civilization" Gen. Du-
mont mont has made a similar representation to
Flus TX, and has proposed, in his masters
name, to establish in Rome corps of 90
0oO Imperial troops. The Pontiff is said
to have replied that, although willing to
accept the aid of France in case of need,
ms own army would suffice to protect
Rome.-7Tdblet.
