Ntalg.—The writer of the Turin letters signed "A." in the Daily News, gives an account of the interview of the Tuscan, Parmese, and Modenese deputations with the Emperor Napoleon.

"The three deputations from Parma, Modena, and Tuscany were all re- ceived on the same day, the 15th instant, but not all together, at the palace of St. Cloud. I am not able to give you the actual words used by the So- vereign of France, but it is certain that the deputations left his presence with great satisfaction. To the Parmese he intimated that there were no serious obstacles against their annexation to Sardinia. Ilis language to the Modenese was held by them to signify that the return of the Duke had be- come impossible. As for the Tuscans, with whom he conversed for a con- siderable time, he repeated to them several times that they would best con- sult their interests by taking the young Ferdinand the Fourth of Lorraine for their prince, who would return to grant them a complete amnesty and truly liberal institutions. But he (Napoleon) did not wish to extort their compliance, and they would remain the arbiters of their own destinies. He further led the Tuscans to understand that there would be no armed in- tervention on the part of any Power, whether foreign or peninsular ; that he was greatly pleased at the order and tranquillity the Tuscans had main- tained, and he begged them to persevere in that course, inasmuch as it was that by which they might best attain their object."

The Nonitore Toscano publishes a decree of the Provisional Govern- ment, enacting that the army and all other public bodies and establish- ments shall henceforth assume the title of Royal, "as in the other parts of the States of King Victor Emmanuel." Also, by order of the Minister of Justice, the bust of King Victor Emmanuel has been placed in all the Courts of Justice. The same paper states that the Tuscan envoys sent to the Court of Berlin have had an audience of Count Schleiuitz, and de- clare themselves satisfied with their reception ; the Count having de- clared that Prussia, whose interests were identical with those of Italy, could not but be favourable to the latter ; that Prussia recognized the justice of the principle of nationality, and would be glad to see a strong and independent Italy. His Excellency in conclusion declared that Italy might rely on the friendly feeling of Prussia. The same envoys arc now about to proceed to Warsaw, where the Emperor of Russia at present is.

A supplement extraordinary to the Parma Gazette of the 22d contains the following:— "The deputation sent to the Emperor of the French by the Assembly of Representatives of the Parmesan provinces returned yesterday evening from Paris. The Emperor, they state, listened with much kindness to the ex- pressions of gratitude of the population:. Ile assured the deputation of his lira. intention to serve the Italian cause, and repeated that no armed inter- vention could take place. IIis Majesty added that he entertained the firmest conviction that the wishes of the people would be satisfied." The Nord states that France has brought the financial negotiations at Zurich to an issue by paying to Austria one hundred millions of the sum total due from Piedmont to Austria. The former, in its turn, will pay to France the interest arising from the capital of this portion of the debt. In this way the burdens of Sardinia are not rendered excessive, and Austria will have received satisfaction in part. In a diplomatic circular dated October 11, the Papal Government gives its reasons for dismissing the Sardinian Envoy, Count della Minerva. The following are stated as the acts of the Piedmontese Government which furnish the justification for the dismissal :— " The acts committed by Piedmont in Romagna during the Italian war, notwithstanding the formally recognized neutrality of the Holy See ; the subsequent conduct of the l'iedmontese Government, a conduct which vio- lates the law of nations as well as the sanctity of treaties ; lastly, the ac- ceptance of King Victor Emmanuel when the deputies of the self-styled National Assembly of Romagna, revolted against the legitimate sovereign, offered him the incorporation of those provinces with the kingdom of Sar- dinia."

Garibaldi has just issued this stirring proclamation :- "Bimini, October, 1859. " To our Brothers of Naples.—Brothers ! we have combated the Aus- trians, we have fought these insolent oppressors of Italy, and we have beaten them. We have seen them run like rabbits before our young sol- diers ; we have seen them fly in terror, and beg their lives of those whose brothers, parents, and friends they had basely assassinated. We have seen them fly like cowards before the sons of those whom they barbarously scourged or butchered at their pleasure ; we have seen them fly, the vile miscreants, before the comrades of Ugo Bassi, Civeaghl, Ciceruacchio, and ask their lives with a baseness unmistakeably Austrian; and yet of those who surrendered, or who were wounded, the Italians did not kill a single one. " Brothers ! we have fought as Italians fight when they are united, and you were not with us. In the ranks of the conqueror there were Italians of all the provinces, but of Naples there were few. The shout of victory was heard in every dialect except yours, and yet—we know it—your hearts beat high in the cause of the country. You felt our dangers and fatigues, and your hearts exulted at the announcement of our victories. Yes, exulted in spite of the abominable tyranny which crushes and degrades you ; it felt its overthrow by the victory of Italians.

" You were not with us in the body, but your good-will was there, we are certain ; but this time, at least, you will be with us in both. Yes ; Provi- dence has decreed the union and alliance of our family—of thispoor Italian family. Foreigners, doctrinaires and priests labour in vain. In vain they seek to sow discord, to excite mistrust in the public mind, to corrupt this hapless people, whom they have divided so often, and so often sold to the stranger. In vain our brothers of the south have clasped the hands of our brothers of the centre and of the north ; the sons of the Procidas, the Masa- niellos, the Pepes, have grasped the victorious right hand of the soldiers of

Palestro and San Martino. G. GARIBALDI."

Mazzini has subscribed 200 francs to the Garibaldi fund for pur- chasing of a million of muskets ; his subscription was accompanied by the following letter.

"I send 200 francs as my contribution to General Garibaldi's fund, to which I feel sure that all who share my political faith will hasten to sub- scribe. The name of Garibaldi is a guarantee that these arms will not be employed merely in the defence of Cattolica and the Minch). The sacred unity of our country, violated by every idea which does not embrace the whole of Italy, from the heights of the Tyrol to the Sicilian Sea, is an article of faith for him as well as for us. These arms, then, are to be used for us. It is essential that, rapidly fraternising in this subscription, Italians should display a manly resolution, and separate themselves finally from that unseemly collection of optimist cowards who look for liberty and nationality from hypothetical conferences between foreign sovereigns. " GIUSEPPE Mezzka."

Mr. P. A. Taylor, expressly as one who shares M. Mazzini's "politi- cal faith," subscribes 501. to the musket fund ; and Mr. W. H. Ashurst, another of M. Mazzini's English sympathizers, sends 101.

The Opinione of Turin thus summarily calculates the cost of the late war to Piedmont. The debt which the latter has consented to accept is 260,000,000 francs ; the sum to be reimbursed to France, 60,000,000 ; the expenses of the war, about 130,000,000; the fortifications to be raised for the defence of the country, 50,000,000; total, 500,000,000 of francs.

'nom—It is said in Paris that the force which the French Govern- ment had decided to send to China, which was fixed originally at 12,000 men, is now reduced to 6000. It is said further that the expedition to China will not be despatched until the month of February next, unless circumstances should arise in the meantime which it is not possible to anticipate. A letter signed " Louis Napoleon Bonaparte," dated in 1831, and ad- dressed to Pope Gregory XVI., has been published in some French papers ; its tone is favourable to the wishes for reform of the people of the Romagna, and it recommends moderation and concession to the Pope. The Siecle said that the letter was written by the Emperor; the lioniteur explains that it was written by the Emperor's eldest brother who " died" in Forli in 1831.

611 a i It .—A despatch from Madrid says, the Ministers have stated that they will not have recourse to a loan, and that the floating debt will not be augmented, but the taxes increased. Preparations for the war with Morocco are proceeding in Spain. For the last eight or ten days San Sebastian has had within its walls or in its immediate neighbourhood some 5000 or 6000 troops, waiting for ships to transport them to Cadiz and thence to Morocco. The demands of the Spanish Government are said to have comprised a cession of territory adjoining Ceuta, so extensive as to include the Sierra Bullones, taking in Cape Negro in the direction of Tetuan and Apes' Hill on the Straits. It is reported in Tangier that the Spanish forces will make an attack both by sea and land, and afterwards occupy Tetuan and Tangier.

The Paris correspondent of the Times states that the Spanish Govern- ment has disavowed all " ambitious views " in attacking Morocco.

" While it considers it has the right to punish the marauding tribes, and to take measures for the due protection of its stations in Africa, it has no in- tention of making conquest of territory beyond the space necessary to gua- rantee the safety of its stations, and that though it may occupy territory between Melilla and Ceuta, it has no views on Tangier, which was, I be- lieve, the point on which our [the British] Government, for obvious reasons, set great importance. I am informed that the objections of the English Cabinet to the expeditions have, since these assurances, been considerably modified, if not entirely removed. I further learn that a communication to General O'Donnell within the last few days states that the English Govern- ment is satisfied with these assurances, and will not offer any opposition to the war with Morocco."

It is asserted in a despatch from Madrid that the French Minister of War "has placed material of war at the disposal of the Spanish Govern- ment, and has declared that the Emperor will support the military opera- tions of Spain against Morocco by advances in a similar way to those made to Piedmont during the late war."

Igf Tlita1111.—A Frankfort telegram, of the 20th instant, says :-- " In today's sitting of the German Diet, the kingdoms of Saxony, Han- over, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg, and the Duchies of Hesse, Mecklenburg, and Nassau proposed the revision of the military constitution of the Con- federation." According to a memorial which is in circulation in well- informed circles, says a Frankfort letter in the Berlin Commercial Gazette, and which is said to have been drawn up a short time before the inter- view of the Bavarian, Saxon, and Wurtemberg Ministers at Munich, there will be inscribed at the head of the demands for reform of the se- condary States this principle :—that there is reason for admitting that defects exist in the present Federal Constitution, but that no reform can be recognized unless it embraces all Germany, and excludes neither Aus- tria, Holstein, nor Luxembourg. As a mode of execution, it is proposed to act in conformity with historical precedent, and not to employ any constraint. The following are specified as being the points on which the reforms are to bear :—

1. Reconciliation of the particular tendencies which exist in the nation, by uniting them all in one national representation. 2. A directory at the head of the Confederation as a central power. 3. To substitute the majority of votes for unanimity. 4. To establish a Federal tribunal. 5. To organize a unitary military system.

6. Nomination of a general-in-chief of the Federal troops in time of peace.

7. To bring all affairs of customs and commerce within the competency of the Federal Assembly.

mi lls,—The meeting between the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia took place at Breslau on the 23d (Sunday last). Nothing is positively known of the results of the interview, but it is generally understood that the meeting had a political purpose. A despatch through Mr. Reuter's office says :—" The interview is declared to have been of the most satisfactory character. A complete and formal understanding has been arrived at upon the various difficulties in Euro- pean politics, and the consequences of this agreement will soon be apparent." lastria.—A telegram from Vienna, dated October 22, informs us that Baron Hubner, the Minister of Police, has resigned ; Baron Thierry, Ministerial Councillor in the department of Foreign Affairs, has been ap- pointed in his stead.

Mut gar4.—A communication from Pesth of the 18th says :—" Much attention has been excited here by a petition which the pupils of the university of this city intend to present to the Government. Founding their claims on the rescript concerning the gymnasiums, they declare that the lectures being given in the German language do not allow them to make a progress in their studies in proportion with their labours and their expenses, and they consequently pray that the Hungarian lan- guage shall be more generally used in instruction."

Sail I a.—The Central Committee for the emancipation of the serfs, sitting at St. Petersburg, has just constituted itself into three committees —financial, administrative, and judicial, the better to perform the mani- fold duties with which it is entrusted.

Surktn suit Eg iii.—Four of the chiefs of the late conspiracy at Constantinople have been condemned to death, but the executions have been delayed. A despatch from the Grand Vizier to the Viceroy of Egypt, dated Oc- tober 8, states distinctly that the canalization of the Isthmus of Suez is an Imperial question :-

" It belongs then naturally to the Sublime Porte to examine this ques- tion. Moreover, the execution of such an important enterprise absolutely requires, according to the fundamental rules of law, the special authoriza- tion of his Majesty, to whom the empire belongs. Every enterprise of this kind, commenced without imperial authorization, can only be considered as null : consequently, all that has thus far been erected with regard to that enterprise is in the eyes of the Sublime Porte considered as if it had never existed. There is then no difficulty in your highness giving a reply, based on this principle, which will be without a doubt, supported by all the Powers which are the friends and allies of the Sublime Porte."

Saida ad e01111.—Intelligence has arrived from India np to the 27th ultimo. Bombay letters state that the heart of the country is no tranquil. On the 5th of the month Feroze Shah, with two hundred fol- lowers, mounted on their little Mahratta ponies, crossed the country to the eastward, passing near Marowra, and within six or seven miles of a small body of our cavalry (the 3d Irregulars), under Lieutenant Louis. The movement unfortunately had not been expected or the rebel party might have been captured. Feroze Shah had narrowly escaped capture on the 26th of the preceding month, when a field force under Colonel Nott, which had left Sangur a few days before, suddenly came on his en- campment. The surprise was so complete that several of the rebels were bayoneted before they could reach their horses. Many of them threw down their arms and attempted to escape, but were shot down without • mercy ; the remainder dispersed through the jungle, closely followed by the skirmishers, who returned after some hours, having seized many valuable horses.

Mr. J. D. Inverarity, Reverend Com. S.D., is to go to Scinde as Com- missioner. It is supposed that Mr. Rose, Collector of Sattara, will sue- ceed to the vacant revenue commissionership. It is stated in a despatch from Hongkong, September 12, that the American Ambassador had returned from Pekin without having obtained the ratification of the treaty at that city. The ratification had taken place by commissioners at Peh-tang.

guitrir Ea-W.—The New York Herald publishes the following telegram from its Washington correspondent respecting the San Juan dispute:-

" Washington, October 11.—It is understood that the British Minister, Lord Lyons, has received a peremptory and important despatch from his Government, demanding explanations from our Government of the course of General Harney in the San Juan affair, to which the Secretary of State is now preparing a reply, which will vindicate fully our rights, and doubt- less cover the whole ground of the controversy to the satisfaction of the American people. The whole matter will be laid before the President on his return tomorrow."

Via California we have a brief report from Victoria to the 7th of Sep- tember. The Colonist says that the United States' troops on San Juan Island were throwing up a fortification on the summit of a hill below the Hudson Bay Company's station, and that they were preparing for a permanent occupation. The Portland (Oregon) papers publish a reply by General Harney to Governor Douglass's letter of the 30th of August, in which he accepts Douglass's explanation as an apology for his past conduct, and declines to withdraw his troops from San Juan until the pleasure of President Buchanan is known on the subject. A letter from Mr. Ward, published in the American papers, describes the recent engagement on the Pei-ho, but adds nothing to what we knew before. A communication has been received at Washington from the British Government, through Lord Lyons, requesting that their ac- knowledgments may be conveyed to Mr. Ward, American Minister to China, and Commodore Tatnall, for their friendly conduct at the affair of the Pei-ho. The conduct of Mr. Ward and Commodore Tatnall has, it is stated, been approved of by the authorities at Washington. Further details respecting the duel which took place at San Francisco on the 13th of September between Senator Broderick and Judge Terry state that the latter has been arrested. Some papers state that the duel originated in a political controversy, dating back to last Juno. The public were highly incensed at the fatal result to Mr. Broderick, and his funeral was the most imposing ever witnessed in San Francisco. It is asserted that the duel was conducted in strict accordance with the duel- ling code. Broderick's pistol went off before raised into line with his

antagonist. Terry took deliberate aim, and upon discharging his pistol folded his arms, holding his weapon still smoking in his hands. The shot took effect two inches from the right nipple of his opponent, carry- ing away part of the breastbone. Mr. Broderick died on the 15th . ultimo, and was buried on the 18th amid considerable pomp and excite- ment. The coroner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased died from a wound inflicted intentionally by David S. Terry, Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of California. The San Francisco Herald de- nies the statement that the duel originated in political differences be- tween Messrs. Broderick and Gwin, and says Mr. Terry had never been a friend of Gwin. It also repels the accusation that there had been un- fairness in the fight. The Washington correspondent of the Nilo York Times of the 13th denies that England has demanded an explanation from the American Government with reference to the conduct of General Harney. Lord Lyons (it says) has simply made a proposition for a settlement of the dispute, as the Treaty provides no remedy in case of a disagreement be- tween boundaries Commissioners. England, therefore, suggests a pro- gramme for an adjustment in which she claims San Juan.

13initi.—Accounts from Hayti to the 24th of September inform us that the murderer of the daughter of President Geffrard had been arrested. This man, whose name is Sanon, has confessed that the crime was the result of a conspiracy to overthrow the Government, the plan of the conspi- rators being to kill the President's daughter in order to attract the Presi- dent himself to the theatre of the crime, and then to kill him. In ad- dition to Sanon, several other conspirators have been taken into custody.
