Serious doubts are entertained as to the vintage , which promised to surpass in quantity and quality that of last year . A large proportion of the grapes is said to be dried up and lost from lack of proper moisture . Another and stranger circumstance has contributed to diminish the value of the vintage .

Sun strokes have been frequent and fatal . In the neighbourhood of Bordeaux six persons Avere struck down and died in one day .

VICTOR EMMANUEL AND THE ITALIANS . A correspondent , writing to the Debat e from Turin , gives the following as the causes which le"d to the resignation of Count Cavour . —" That statesmen had conceived , hopes on behalf of his King and his country which were perhaps too great for their realisation to be immediately possible . He was desirous that Piedmont should be transformed into a strongly constituted kingdom of Italy , such as is indicated by its geographical configuration , and its unity of race , language and habits . In other words , Count Cavour desired that , in addition
to Lombardy and Venetia the duchies of Parma and Modena , the Grand Duchy of Tuscany , the Legations , and the Marches should be annexed to Piedmont , Victor Emmanuel would thus have reigned over 14 millions of subjects , and over the finest countries in Europe , admirably situated between the Adriatic and the Mediterranean , and provided with excellent ports . The ancient republics of Genoa and Venice would have become i > rovinces of the kingdom of Italy , which would have been suddenly raised to the rank of a great power in Europe , and have taken the place of Prussia .

A letter from Lombardy says : — " The feeling at Milan is one , of unutterable woe , every one there had so rejoiced at Ms liberation from the Austrian yoke ; but now the young and old bewail amidst compassion and rage the fate of Venice and the suspended emancipation of Italy . The only person for whom , in this new misfortune of Italy , the veneration , love , and enthusiasm of the people increase , is Victor Emmanuel , who entered Milan amid shouts as rapturous as ever Prince received from his people . There had been a rumour that he wished to abdicate , but either the rumour was false , or the King does not mean to persist in his resolution . "
The Tuscan Council of State , consisting of the most eminent men in the grand duchy , unanimously voted on the 12 th the union , of Tuscany with the new kingdom of Northern Italy , under the sovereignty of the House of Savoy . Addresses to the King and Emperor of the French in accordance with this resolution wore voted . The Council demands that in any case Tuscany shall not be placed again undpr the yolco of Austrian princes . Tho reception of the news of the Villafranca treaty at Florence is thus described : —*•• Within a few minutes of tho publication of tho Monitore tho news seemed to have spread from one end of ^ Florence to the other . From ovory street and

NEW SARDINIAN MINISTERS . Count Abese , who in the first instance succeeded , or rather superseded Cavour , as Victor Emmanuel ' s prime minister , is a bosom friend of the French Emperor ; it is said that he was his bed-fellow in days of misfortune , when Louis Napoleon went to America after the escapade of Strasburg . The count belongs to the old Lombardian family of the Litta Sforzas , and has a large fortune . He was one the Lombard patricians who espoused the cause of Charles Albert . He has travelled in North America , in the far west , and had Napoleon for his companion . The Count is fond of the English , and speaks the language fluently . His peculiar character is well known to the Austrians ; he is , perhaps , their deadliest foe . Ratazzij with the formation of
who has since been charged a new Cabinet , is one of the most popular men in Piedmont . After the defeat of Custoza he became a minister of Charles Albert , but retired , having held office only a few days . He then took his place in the opposition led by Gioberti , and when that party triumphed , he became Minister of the Interior , but opposed Gioberti * s proposition , to . send an expedition to Rome to restore the Pope . When Charles Albert abdicated , after the defeat of Novara , Ratazzi took his place on the opposition benches as a democrat , but gradually approached the moderate reform party , and became 0 ne of its most intelligent leaders .
