MAZZINI AND VICTOR EMMANUEL . The Turin correspondent of the Paris Presse writes : — " I have seen a very curicus letter from Mazzini to King Victor Emmanuel . It is dated Florence , Sept .. 20 th . The celebrated agitator was lately in Florence for three weeks , during all which tinre ' lie evaded the surveillance of the police . It is now well known that the object of his visit was to recommend his old supporters to rally to the situation brought about by the march of events . His letter removes all doubt on the subject . ML Mazzini declares that he frankly accepts the policy of King Victor Emmanuel . He is willing to renounce his personal opinions touching the form of government in Italy , aiid if the King can and will make Italy 'one" " and "free , " lie promises him the support of the democratic fraction which he represents .

FATAL , POPULAR OUTBREAK AT PARMA . -A . telegram , dated Modena , Thursday , brings us the melancholy tidings of the first bloodshed which lias accrued to the Italian revolution , Colonel Anviti , late president of the Military Commission of the ex-Duchy of Parma , was discovered to have arrived at Parma in disguise , for the purpose of getting up a conspiracy , and had remained concealed until Wednesday . He was recognised by the populace . Heroic efforts . were made to save the traitor , but the troops being quartered in the citadel , which is at lialf-an-hour's distance , and the door of the guardhouse , in which four or five carabineers were stationed , and in which'he'had taken refuge , having been forced , Colonel Anviti was killed . The greatest tranquillity now reigns in the city .
The Italian Kingdom. At Florence On Satu...
THE ITALIAN KINGDOM . At Florence on Saturday the Savoy cross and Sardinian standard were hoisted on the old Palace . The next day a proclamation of the Provisional Government whs posted up , announcing that from this time forward all government powers' will . be exercised hi the name of Victor Emmanuel , the King chosen by the people . Another proclamation announces the adoption of the monetarj' system of Sardinia , and that in ftiture the coinage of Tuscany will bear the effigy of Victor Emmanuel . At Bologna a decree of the Provisional Government states that in future every public net shall be headed thus .- ' — "Under the reign of liis Majesty the King Victor Emmanuel , " & c . Other decrees have also ' been ' published concerning the oath to the King , and the fundamental Jaws of the country . The arms of Snvoy were placed on ill I the public buildings , and a religious feativtil took place . A Te Down whs porl ' orriiod in the Church of St . Petronio , at which all tlie authorities and an immense crowd were present . General Garibaldi and the Mnrqnis de Pepoli hare been received with great enthusiasm by the people . The same festivals have taken place throughout the Rofunj £ uu . At Turin , the national subscription which has been opened for tho purchase of arms for Garibaldi ' s corps d ' urmce is well received everywhere by the public . General Fanti , in Ms recent order of tlio day , expresses himself pretty clearly . "Appointed , " ho says , < o the conimand-in-chiof of tho military forces of the Central Italian League , he asks of his soldiers devotion to their flag , faith in their rights , and perseverance in their object , ' qualities which , combined , will assuredly lead to the triumph of independence . Ho quotes the words addressed by Napoleon III . to tho Italians when us yot Villafrunoa was undreamt ¦ ot , und concludes by eaylng that tho tricolor , with
the old cross of Savoy , shall precede them in the fresh battles that will for ever free Italy from-the stranger . Garibaldi , on his side , displays his wonted energy and decision . He summons the Italians of the Legations to arms , and opens , with a contribution of 5 , 000 f ., a subscription fixed at . l , 000 , 000 f . for the purchase of muskets ! If the Italians be worthy ' of the great sympathy they have obtained , his appeal for men and money will be promptly and largely responded to .
The Holy Father. In Consequence Of The R...
THE HOLY FATHER . In consequence of the reception by Victor Emmanuel of the deputation from the Romagna , the Sardinian ambassador at Rome received his passports . The Presse thinks that the last allocution of the Pope must completely extinguish the hopes of those who yet believed in the possibility of a peaceable settlement of the affairs of Romagna . The Sovereign Pontiff plainly repudiates all the distinctions drawn by prudent Catholics , between his spiritual and temporal power , and declares that he is bound by his oath to transmit the " rights and possessions of the church and his civil sovereignty intact to his successors as being the patrimony of St . Peter . "
Arrests M Naples.—Letters From Naples St...
Arrests m Naples . —Letters from Naples state that great agitation continued to reign ' there , and that fourteen persons belonging to the highest families had been arrested . Amongst them are the Baron Galctti , the Marquis d'Afflito , and the Marquis de Bella Caraciolo . They are accused of holding meetings for the discussion of politics .
The Late Consp I Racy Against The Sultan...
THE LATE CONSP I RACY AGAINST THE SULTAN . . " Every people , " says a contemporary , has its own way of striving for its ends . The ' movement' in Turkey seems to . have been a sort of Financial Reform and Retrenchment Association , only instead of getting up monster meetings and trusting to peaceable agitation , and the eloquence of a Cobden or a Bright , the Pashas and Livas and Muftis and Ulemas held secret counsel at the quarters of one of their number , adjacent to the Mosque of Sultan Bajazid , and proposed nothing less than the massacre , or at least the captivity , of their sovereign and his ministers . " The principal in the plot was one Sheik Ahmed an enlighten man free from fanaticism who deplored the " growing feebleness of the empire and the administrative and finanical abuses ; he founded a secret society which soon attained a large number of adherents . Among the Sheik ' s admirers and friends was the Circassian , Hussein Pasha , a hotheaded , resolute man , distinguished in 1855 in the Kars campaign , and said to have greatly distinguished himself in the repulse of the Russian attack . He lias since been left without employment , and considering himself unjustly treated became a malcontent ; he fell in with Sheik Ahmed , and readily joined in his plans . About two months ago , however , Hussein was appointed to the staff of ihe army of Roumenia . At first he refused to go , but at last yielded and departed . It is said to have been then agreed that , in his absence , the direction of the movement should be intrusted to Hassan Pasha , General of Artillery and member of the Secret Society , who commanded the Bosphorus , with all its batteries and military posts . Djafer Pasha was another conspirator . Ho is an Albanian of high family , who in former days was more * than once in arms against the Porte , but who , during the campaign on the Danube , joined the Sultan's army with 200 of his countrymen , armed and equipped at his own charge . After the war they promised him much , but performed nothing ; they would not oven let him return , to his own country , but compelled him to live in Constantinople on bis pay of about 71 . sterling a month . Tho conspiraicy made many other recruits , some of them men of much importance . They included a great number of officers , and even non-commissioned officers and soldiers of Artillery , Engineers , and the Guard . Tlio number of officers comprised is estimated nt n 6 t less than 850 . There was a regular organisation . Tho society was divided into two classes , chiefs and associates . Only the chiefs knew each other ; tho associates know only their chiofe , ench of whom grouped around him 100 to 150 mon , This society is said to have reckoned ecarcply jess than 15 , 000 to 18 , 000 men . Tho soldiers were to carry off tho Sultan , and tho Sultan taken , detachments were to arrest tho Minister of Ww , Him Pasha , tho Grand Vizier , AnJi Pasha , and tho Minister of Foroign AffUirs , JTuad Pasha . Other ministers and presidents and monibors of councils wore to bo arrested , and , with tho Sultan , wore to bo kept prisoners . According to his own statomont , the man who betrayed the plot , Hassan Pasha , did so on account of a resolution taken to put thorn all to death , Abdul Medjid included . Tho general
opinion in Constantinople , however , is said to be that there was no intention of proceeding to such extremities . The Sultan was to be declared deposed and his brother or his eldest son ( accounts vam was to be put upon the throne . On Saturday the 17 th of September , the plot was to be carried out but on the Wednesday nig-ht preceding Hassan went to Riza Pasha and told him all . Prompt measures were taken . In the night of Thursday , and on the Fridav and Saturday , many arrests were made . The prisoners were sent to ' Kulalee , to Scutari , and to Daoud Pasha . Since the revelation of the plot Constantinople has been traversed day and night by patrols ; at a certain hour Galata bridge was opened , and the communication between Stamboul and Galata and Pera was interrupted . The greater part of the garrison of Pera had been transferred to Stamboul , showing that the Christian quarters of Constantinople had nothin g to fear . Arrests continued , but many persons had been released . A telegram to Janina ordered the arrest of the Circassian , Hussein Pasha .
The Conspiracy In Turkey. — Advices Have...
The Conspiracy in Turkey . — Advices have been received from Constantinople to the 28 th ult ., which states that tiie inquiry into the late conspiracy is terminated . The commission has made its report , and sentence will soon be passed on the conspirators . Ifresh and ' 'important arrests have taken place . — -Omar Pasha , chief of the army of Bagdad ,, has been deprived of liis command in consequence of serious abuses of his authoritj ' . —The Sultan is about to send Meheniet Pasha to Smyrna , in order to invite Prince Alfred to visit Constantinople .
China'. ' The Telegrams In Advance Of Th...
CHINA ' . ' The telegrams in advance of the Overland MaiL brings us no fresh intelligence from China . Meanwhile Mr . Bruce , as the official correspondence has informed us , will await instructions from home before taking any further steps ; and it does not seem that our Government lias decided what course to pursue beyond that of sending out reinforcements . Lord J . Russell , in his letter to Mr . Bruce of September 26 tb , speaks of instructions to be hereafter communicated . It may be worth while to observe , that the date of this letter is that of the day on winch the last Cabinet Council was held . It is not likely that any further communication has been sent to Mr . Bruce since that j ) cr : . < jd ,.: uid in the one before us-Lord John Russell gives no intimation that it may be necessary for our envoy to renew his forcible measures , far less to take steps to obtain a new treaty . There appears some slight evidence in the epistle of our Foreign Secretary that the Ministers of the Crown are divided in opinion as to the course which should be pursued , and the amount of .. sanction , that should be given to the course pursued by Mr . Bruce , whose first and all important error ( as the China Telegraph observes ) was in assuming that the measures adopted by Lord Elgin would suit his position as the bearer of a treaty .

SruKGircoN Out-dosr .-At Naples the priestly party arc making strong efforts to prejudice the minds of those under their influence against tlio movement in the llomagna by representing tie principal agents in it as heretics and mncieiSw Take the following as a specimen : it is trom a sermon preached by l ' ndro Lnbrano , tovmcvly a canon of S .

The sermon was delivered in the church of Gesu Nuovo : — In tho Romagna , " he said , " great crimes were committed against religion , and great miracles Y ™ E in its honour .
