The closing news of last week was that General Salzano had proposed to General Fanti the surrender of the body of Neapolitan troops who remained outside Gaefa , consisting of ten battalions of Chasseur 3 and a reg iment . of cavalry . General Fanti rejected tins proposition . After the engagement of the 12 th inst . the Bourbon troops re-entered Gaeta . The Sardinians , toot up fresh positions round the town . The garrison of Gaeta consisted of eighteen battalions , but a despatch announced that two merchant steamers , sailing under . French colours , had left Gaeta with troops . Their destination was supposed to be Civita Yecchia . As this week opened we learned that on the 12 th the Piedmontese bombarded the suburbs of Gaefa . The Neapolitan , troops continued to fijjht resolutely , but the defection of staff officers was incsSeasing . Four generals , Salzano , Colonna , Barbalonga , and Polozzi , had resigned . The King had dismissed andsent away General Bertolini . Colonel Pianelii had .-surrendered ' a battalion- of chasseurs to the
Picdniontese . Further resistance by tlie Bourbon troops was paralysed by the insubordination of their chiefs and the confusion which prevails . Up to November ISth no jSTorthern Power had protested against tire entry of "Victor Eminanuel"inlo the city of Naples . "When Sardinia claimed the cannons taken from the Neapolitans , v . lio we .-e disarmed on the Papal territory , General Groyon replied that at present it was impossible to give a decision , but that the artillery would be given up later to the proper party . A military commission , composed of French and Sardinian officers , and presided over by Generals Goyon and Cialdini , was to settle the questions arising from the entry of the Bourbon troop 3 into Roman territory . This week it was stated that only 1 G , OOO Bourbon troops entered the Papal States , and that a convention had been signed for sending tlieni back to their own country . The
exiting of Naples issued a furl her-protest , against the course of events , m which absurdity lie is supported by the Spanish Government . These sophists argue , as if the pretended right of a family cr individual to oppress and torment a whole people , and govern a nation against its will , and to its affliction and ruin , were like , the title to so many acres of laud . They are too benighted to understand that a monarch is simply the chief public servant of a country , whom the inhabitants of that country are as much justified in changing for some other agent , as a joint-stock company is . in changing" its secretary or manager . And that in spite of all the nonsense inculcated about divine right and legitimacy , the cominon sense and reason of mankind , the practical logic of life , and the workings of events , are so fast
reducing this view ; to actual practiced Victor Emmanuel has issued a commission for regulating the . degree of the officers of ¦ -Garibaldi's troops ; he invites the vokmteers to enter the regular army , and bind themselves to t \ yo years' service ; this the volunteers , as might naturally be supposed , do not appear pleased with , as they consider that their degree , already earned , should be accepted . The pensionsgranted by Piedmont are to extend to the wounded among Garibaldi ' s army . From Naples we learned that on the reins being no longer held by tho firm but skilful hard of Garibaldi , for whom so much enthusiasm and confidence were felt , things have been going rather to the bad ; which , also , " was not to bo not expected . " It wa ? reported that five provinces , including the AbrUzzi , had been declared by the present Government to be in a state of siege . The faot seems to bo tliat the people who
expected the freedom of self-government , expect to bo saved like tne ass in the fable , and only to experience a change of masters in the substitution of the Sardinian for-the Bourbon family . All Italian territory under French " protection" as' it is oallcd—the accurate name la a very different 6 ne—is to bo left intact by . the Sardinian troops . Accordingly , it seems , General Goyon claimed that Terraeina , which had beeu occupied by the Sardinian General do Sonnaz , bo forthwith evacuated , either as a pendant to , or as the prompter of , Antonelhs protest against what lie complains of ns an aggression on the x ope a
dominions . On tho day of our going to press with this portion of the paper , the latest news from Italy was , Mint tho Fronch wero about to occupy Terraeina . From Rome wo loarned tho arrival of tho Dowager Queen of Naples , with tho Princess and tho children of King Francis . His wife preferred staying with Jmn and his brothers at Gaotu , whore part of tho palnco had boon rendered bomb-proof . Tho exquoon is a Bavarian Princess , and induced her husband to muko concessions when too late . She struggled , from the commencement of her stay in Naples , against the influonco of
tho ox-king ' e stepmother , who has now retired , At Venice . , tno Emperor of Austria is attempting to concillinto tho people , but tnia also must bo considered ns coming Loo laic . From Sardinia there aro symptoms of renewing tho war agah . st Austria , and to carry it , it possible , into Hungary . Sardinia , it waa positively slalod , had no intention of contracting the now loan that had boon tulkod of . ¦ There is a rumour that tho French Emperor has put forth a iueler to ascertain tho opinion of Europe as to his assuming the functions of Head of the Church in France , and most of our contemporaries have pounood upon it ns u marvellous mare ' s nest .

Heii Majesty ' s Theatee . —The representation of FJotow ' s llariha at this house during tho week ,-serves to remind the public of the great versatility which distinguishes the power of lyric characterization possessed by Mdlle . Titiena . AVe are accustomed to associate her iu our . mind with those tragic portraitures which excite the deepest emotions , and work so powerfully on the feeling of an audience in The Suguenois , Trovaioi-e ^ Don Giovanni , Lucrezici Borgia . But tho truth is , she is equally , at home in lighter operas , such as the one which forms the subject of the present notice . She can assume such a character as Martha , and render it in a etyle of graceful efficiency which leaves nothing to desire , boih in a musical and a histrionic point of view . Sig . Giuglini as Lionel , liavin ^ j recovered from his indisposition , sang the music of this character , which is so well adapted to his powei' 3 , with exquisite effect . And Sig . Viuletti and Madame Lemaire , alike deserve the most creditable mention for their respective . performances as P-lumk . tt and Nancy . Tliis is one of the operas , which is sure to be favourably received in England on account of having a favourite popular sang wrought up in it .. Everybody is delighted to hear " The last rose of summer" ' eftVctively sung any wher . p-a . nd . at any tims ; and such " a melody , of course , lends tho ' attraction of its associations to the piece in which it is introd-. icdch liobin Adair finds himself in the Scotch plot of a French on-ra—Boieldicu ' s . Dame BlancJie ? at which we should ' imagine he was considerably , surprised . . And we iind , according to the traditions of the lyric sta ^ o , -that the dulce domum of our childhood is sitiute m tlie court of Henry the Eighth , as those who have heard Anna Bolena will recollect . We once asked Sir Henry Bishop about the transplant ing of "Sweet home" in ! o Donizetti ' s opera . He told us that Pasta , for whom the maestro was composing that opera , was one of his pupils * and that she took such a fancy to his song that she said she should have it introduced into the work . But according to some the air in question is an old Sicilian rncloJy which Sir Henry brought home with him froni abroad .- The performance of Martian ? as a great success , but ns its merit chiefly consists in . an ensemble of light music and characterization , there arc not the striking features for criticism which are to bo found in such works as the masterpieces of Rossini and Mozart . Dnvmr-uusni Theatre . — The Billet JDoux , is the French title of an English version of s French piece , or a piece so like the French one of LesFailesde Monclie , that we suppose it is " an adaptation . A gentleman rejoicing in the pecuniary name of Harry Blunt ( Mr . C Mathews ) , and a lady who , when we first make her acquaintance , 13 a Mrs Pencolin ( Miss Arden ) , had , prior to the latter changing her maiden name , formed , in the language of the original piece , what is called a liaison . She had on one occasion left a note lor Mr . Blunt in a hiding-place agreed upon betwecm them j but , as ill-luck would have it , it never " came to hand —at least not to tho hands it was . intended to come to . Meanwhile Blunt goes abroad with his regiment , and comes back a major , with a grudge against the lady for jilting him . Having got hold o £ the IHlet ( foux Wqucstion , ho evinces a disposition to use it for revenging himself ; but a friend of tho iiunily , Miss Bright ( Mrs . Charles MftthowO , becomes aware of this , and determines to defeat hjs . purpose . The plotting and counter-plotting that follow furnishes the material ot the Piece . The adventured of this unfortunate letter are a thousandfold more extraordinaiy . than any " adventures " oi any " gnnwn 'that over jingled through its protracted monetary existence . We clouDC it tho transmigration of any soul that ever existed at all comes up to thein Tliov aro much too numerous to mention , and to bo appreciated ought to be witnessed . Mr . Pencolin is a rather > oodon and truculent ? ort of husband ! and there aro a Mr . and Mre . Wagstaff pressed into tho piece for tho more effective transaction of tho dramatic biminwa-. tho respective assumptions of which characters are allotted to Mi . M'Lein , Mr . Tilbury , and Mrs . Frank Matthews . The p > aoo was well acted throughout .
