SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 29.  It is confidently stated that Naples has resolved on invading, and, if possible, reconquering Sicily; and that for this purpose an army of 30,000 men has been prepared, which will land at Syracuse. It is also rumoured in Paris that England is not disinclined to co-operate with France in compelling the .Austrians to evacuate Italy, but this would be so strange a combination that it is impossible to believe in it. At the game time our foreign affairs are so oddly managed that nothing is so extraordinary in appearance that it may not turn out to be true in fact.  The latest intelligence from Paris represents the Assembly as being engaged with discussions on bills for the suppression of clubs, the regulation of public meetings, and the surveillance of the press. It is likewise said that General Oudinot is preparing to leave Paris and to take the command of the army of the Alps. There can be no doubt of the disposition of France to invade Italy, but her social and financial condition is such as to interpose the most serious impediments to such a resolution.  The proceedings in Parliament on Wednesday were not of a kind to attract much notice, or to justify any comment. The debate on the restoration of the Irish parliament, which has been adjourned for months, was to have come on on that evening, but the notice was withdrawn, and the subject dismissed. The idea of certain Irish members that they can separate repeal from republicanism is, like many other Irish notions, an absurd one. There is no possibility of doing so with the bulk of the nation, de they must now be convinced of.  Our intelligen4e' from Dublin comes down to Thursday night at which grim all was quiet, not only in that city, but throughout Ireland. The rumours of a contrary kind which reached this ecNtry yesterday morning by way of Liverpool, turn out to have been forgeries of the Irish repeal faction, which ha 4 been imposed on the credulity of the no:re venders. No-C-ollision between the clubbists and the , authorities, civil or military, bad t iken place; and from the nature of the precautions which have been taken to meet and put down an outbreak, we still adhere to the opinion that none will occur, or that if it do occur it will be of a partial and insignificant description. The feeling amongst the respectable portions of the Irish population is fast gainins strength that this mad attempt at rebellion, with Its consequences, plunder and murder, must be put down; nor do we entertain a doubt that, when once evoked, the latent loyalty of Ireland will do more than meet the crisis. In Dublin the attitude of the Clubbists 144 as they themselves allege, defensive. They will not, they say, surrender their arms; and they wait for an assault from the governflout to raise the standard of revolt. We shall see. In the meantime the leaders have all fled, and betaken themselves to the provinces, though the exact locality of their present operations is not known. Smith O'Brien and Meagher are believed to be at Waterford, or in its immediate neighbourhood, where, also, is Gen. O'Donnell, with 120) of the Crieen's troops, of all arms; we have no fears, then, for W derford, thouih the seditious populace is said to be much excited. O'Gorman is reported to be at Limerick, and Doheny at Cashel or Clonmel; but the "whereabouts" of Magee is unknown. From such a dispersion of councils and forces there is little serious danger to be apprehended; and it will surprise us much if the whole staff of rebel commanders be not safely lodged in one of her Majesty's jails before the end of next week.
