LET.  The following are the principal passages in Baron Ricaaoli's circular to the Italian tiomula as to the formation of an Italian fleet :- " Italy, forming a sole nation, is called on to renew the glorious times in which the Italian flag floated everywhere as a symbol of civilisation of manufactures, and of wealth, and in which the productions of Italian industry, tile, and genius welt: sought for in all parts of . the world. No country, in fact, is better placed than Italy for having an active and lucrative commerce, and for carrying on a large and flourishing navigation. It suffices to cast a glance on the marvellous position of Italy, and on the privileged Mimi of her soil, to see to what high destinies she can and ought to aspire in pacific exchange of productions, in which nations now engage w ith a ohm r and en in la I ion, and in which every conquest is a coMIIIOII benefit. Placed tithe el i trance t o Eti rope at the cast and south, in the midst of two semi which place ill communication the most fruitful territories of the wink', with an iiiimenee extent of coast, with numerous vast and safe ports, favoured by a mild and temperate climate and by a fruitful soil, Italy possesses all that is required to attain the greatest manufacturing and commercial prosperity, and to tasks an enviable part in the con t merce of Europe with the different regions of the globe. Thus, when the gimintie enterprise of the cutting through of the bithmus of Suez shall be terminated, Italy Duly again become one of the principal interunsliaries in the commerce of Europe with India, China, and i iceania. The Italian flag, though not yet protecting Venice, the vassal of a foreign nation, floats over vessels it of 700,000 tons 'anthme which are manned b more than 100,000 sailors. The general movement o Mu coinMere.) in the last few years, before the u of the nation was accompl islied, amounted Mahout 4 ,000,000 f. (importations ioni exportations united, the former piesenting a marked superiority over the latter). In the ports the arrival and departure of more than 40,000 vessels, of about 4.000,000 tons burtheu, was recorded. It is only a few months aim* that political unity put dOWII in Italy the customs' barriers' the fiscal visits, the embarrassments of all kinds, which, by favouring smuggling, prevented the exchange of Italian productions between Italian provinces, and substituted liberty for the minute precautions with which the different governments of the Peninsula endeavoured to check the development of material it elfare, fearing that it would be accompanied by iatellectual and moral progress. But now Italian producers can count on a home market of 23,000,003 consumers and as manufacturers are encouraged by the introduction free of duty of the raw materials, and the establishment of institutions of credit, we may justly hope shortly to see Italian commerds take, by the development of roads and railways, is development which will enable it to export with advantage to foreign markets. The King'sGovernmeut, convinced that the flourishing state of commerce and Manufactures is one ot the best means of founding order in liberty, is resolved to employ all its efforts to augment production and -facilitate traffic in the new kingihun. It is there' fur' necessary to give encounigcnients of all kinds to our people who go iihrolul to open by their labour and their relations a market to our commerce and our productions." .
