Raliceti is the son of oue of the ministers of King Murat, and has been a deputy to the Parliament of Naples and Secretary of Jusiice during the short regime of the etatute ot 1848, His ¢ncorruptibility and the unrelenting energy of his character did not win for bim the friendship of the lute King, He was tho partisan and promoter of reforms in the magistracy aud many other grievances, which, how- ever, continued, notwithstanding all his efforts, was very popular in Naples, where his name was the synony:m of ll ibcral ideas, and he was obliged to leave. that city at the time of the anti-parliamentary coup d'état of the 1 of March, 1849; since then be has lived in France in retirement and in @ mediocrity of fortune, which he bore with the most laudable resignation. Torrearsa was secretary of flaances and prime minister of the first Sicilian ministry, formed in 1848 by the venerable dettimo, presideut aud chief of the executive power. He was afterwards elected Speaker of the House of Commons in the Parliament of Palermo, and left to fill that otlice, of the ministry of which he was the dire stiog member, and Which has since preserved his name, Prince’ de Butera bas been, under the presidency of Set. timo, the chief of the Cabinet which succeeded to that of Torrearsa, Stabile and Calvi. He represented the aristocra- tic side of the pation and of the Parliament, but notwith- standing gave proots of energy during the great strugglo which was going to place Sicily again under the yoke of Ferdinand I. His presence in Palermo and his name are the pledges of the union of all parties under the dictator of Sicily and of the golution proposed by him. , We can with more reason say of the departure of Prince ‘Niscemi for Palermo, that he 4s the son-in-law of the pre- sent President of the Neapolitan Cabinet—the old Statel- ja, Prince de Cassaro, eighty yoars of age. This old gen- tlenan was chosen afew weeks ago to that high oilice he is a Sicilian, in the hope of pact fying the leaders of the ingurrection; but he did not deceive himself for a moment on hearing of the occurrence, and he did not from that moment conceal from his friends and relatives that he entered the minis- try without hope, and that in his opinion Sicily was lost to me Kingdom of Naples, The Dictator of Sicily, who for the present is on a foot- ing of equality with the Sardinian Cabinet, has seat Mr. Michel Amari as Ambassador at Turin. Count Michel Amari is one of the most learned and dis- tinguished writers and historians of Sicily. The series of Lis potitical straggles commences at the time ot the publica, tion of the “History of the Sicilian Vespers,” in which the fuspieious goveradent of Ferdinand U. thought that it was bitter allusions to its own tyranny and to the frightful future which those pictures of the past jicted. The was seized and its author summoned to Naples; bat understanding the meaning of such an order he embarked for France. He returned to Sicily on the first news of the grave events of 1348, when he was elected Deputy, and succeed ed Torrearsa a3 Secretary of Finances when the latter was elected Speaker of the House of Commons. Afterwards he tiled important missions in Paris and Londoa, the ob Ject of which was to obtaia the recognition and support of the French and Euglish governments in favor of the new autonomy of Sicily, Nobody, therefore, is better quali fied than Count Michel amari worthily’ to represent at Tariu the provisional government of bis native island.

Bezouks and the fanaticiom of the Mahometan popalation.

The Turcomanians in Western Europe will declare all (hege narratives to be mere inventions, and even here there are ecepiics who think them groatly exaggerated; but the public in general believe them implicitly, and committees have been formed all over Russia to receive Subscriptions for Ue relief of our unfortunate brethren in Christ. The ladies are particularly active im the cause. In Bt. Petersburg the Countess Pretessof and Princess Vacilchikoff have placed themselves at the head of the committee, and, thanks to their exertions, considerable sums have been already collected aud transmitted to our Consuls in Turkey. In the meantime our attention ia a good deal diverted fromfexternal altairs to the contemplation of our own, which are rapidly approaching a crisis. Ia proportion a8 the great measure of serf emancipation advances to its completion, the agitation among the nobles increases and aesumes & imore serious character. I have adverted to the subject in a former letter, and mentioned that-though they bad ceased to oppose the emancipation itself,they | had made their consent a pretext for advancing elaims — which would more than iudemnify them for the loss of niluence they will sustain by the abandonment of their eeignorial rights. The entranchisement of the serfs, they say, can only have the desired effect upon the well-being of the people if attended with an active reorganization of the interns! administration of the empire. If éue pea- santry are subjected to the control of func: \agessen, thas sil be worse off me when under the utelage of the seigneurs whose own interests vincided with those of the gerf, and im. avhcm the latter clase found protectors against the ot the grasping officials, The system of centralization therefore be replaced by that of self-government; the provinces and districts must be allowed to choose-thei: own magistrates, their own judges and sdtininlateators, and the action of the imperial authorities must be eon’ | fined to a simple supervision. Now, it is easy togee that, in the present state of Russian society, such am ° ment © place de facto the whole power of the empire im the bands of the nobility, The peasants, who form the immense majority of the population, haye never been acevstomed to think or act for themselves. Even after their manumission they will continue to look up to their former lords with the awe aud reverence which habit hag re, and if they are eutrusted with it is not didicult to imagine ‘Of course the same re. id stricted to 1 8 at several bility im various ports of the crapire ey have hitherto made of the privilege th : 3 of electing their own mar- Ehals and certain number of members of the civil and crimival courts, no very profitable augury caa be drawa of the beneficial effects that will attond the extension of this privilege. The fact is, tat though our chenovinks e bad enough, it isa great questi whether would be by this transfer of tueir noblesse. chenovinks are corrupt expensive in their If the nobles are tless in the managemest of their ary difficulties they are constantly al rr favolved in will lead to the officials have re: tween the Sey! aristocracy, Rissin she bas no prospect of escaping, until the whole body of the people aré suffictentfy advanced in intelligence to take the direction of their social and political interests into their own hands, Anyhow, there cannet be a doubt but that the enfrancbisement of the serfs will lead to a radical change in our system of government, and mat I might say most people, are persuaded thit in a very few years Russia will be a constitutional monarchy. Such” an idea sounds rather Utopian, but if we con- ame abuses by which the ered themselves notorious. Thus, be fider the p made since 1866, if we com pare the of Nicholas I. with the Rus sia of Alexander II, we may be inclined to look upon it as less chimerical than it would appear at first blush. The great dimiculty would be to adapt an: form of representative institutions to an empl immense extent as ours, com, of ons, and exhibiting such different stages of civil! ven England, with her long experience of constitutional overnment, would find it crabarranatng to admit deputies irom the East and West Indies, the Cape of Good 1 New Zealand, &c., to the House of Commons, and a Rus: sian assembly, in which Livoniapsand Cossacks, Finiand- ers and Busikirs. Circassians and Poles, Christians, Jews, Muhometans. and adorers of Baddba,’were seated side by side, would be a rather curious specimen of a “happy family."" | The ooly practical solution e° thie difficulty would be to break the empire up into a vast confederation of independent or semi-independent States, St. Vladimir, the v of the Russian monarchy, divided his dominions twelve sons, the eldest’ residing at Kiet and exercising a kind of supremacy over t ; thrones were established at Novgorod, got, &c. In like manner the present might fix his residence at Moscow, as the capital Russia, and White Russia, Lithuania, Little ‘ia, South Hussla, the Bultic Provinere, Poland, the Concasas, oy and the Atmoor might form separate ki , oF viceroyalties, under thesway of the several. princes of ‘the imperial house, Each of these States might have a Yariiament of its own, and send delegates to the Central Parliament at Moscow, something like your American States do to ' Washiugton, and as the power Of dectaring war and concluding peace, und the conduct of diplomatic relations with foreigu coun- tries would be reserved for the Czar of Moscow, sok a cozatruetion would not greatly weaken, the unity of the. | ¢mpire, at least not for purposes of defence. Tt cannot be doubted either that it would have irresistible att ac- | tions for the other Sclayonic nations of Europe, and that we should soon see Diyria, Servia, Croatia ar 6 _ tukiog thetr places in the confederation f have just deseribed. Perhaps all this is a dream, but oar age 4 big with change and fruitful of extraordinary events, and now a-days nothing ought (o be rejected as impossible for no other reason than because it was counter to pro- conceived notions.

We must propare, consequently, for the burden aad sacri- five of an attempt to bring the Chinese within the pale of international law. They bave reported, for the hun- dredth time, that the mative rebeilion is at an end; but this must be regarded as a part of their scheme fur magni- fying their own strenghta and resources. The British and French armamenté, by sea and land, which have been coMected in their neighborhood may be considered, however, a8 amply sufficient to bring the mandarips to reason; and although the expe- dition may be costly, it is ‘one which is forced upou us by the imperative necessities of our position in the Kast. ere are in this country certain political economists who argue that, if we cannot preserve our Chinese trade without fighting for it, it is scarcely worth maintaining; but this vi though it ia repeatedly — es of an'ultra-pacific policy, is ty eel yocates of an ‘pac icy, is wholly to the facts as we tind them in the commercial statistics of the empire. We need not insist ou the imperis! reasons which exist for pecsonsring in the course upon which we bave entered. , America, Rassia, Spain, aad even Portugal are ready, whenever we evacuate the fivid, to occupy it, and endeavor to imitate, in our absence, the process ‘by which we have acquired the domi. nion of India. any quarter of the discover that the of our great success has hitherto isin in eironmstance that we have been true to ourselves, and have never yielded either to caolery or to the violence of the barbarian Powers with which our relationg have been established. Iu the first place, the settlement of the Chinese question is more than ‘worth all the cost it may involve, because twenty mil- lioms sterling of British capital are annually invested in the China trade, and because the revenue of the empire benefits to the extent of mine millions sterling a year, vided between the English and Indian treasuaies. true that we export Little more than two millions auaually of our manufactures to China, but we seud upwards of six‘old that amount to the Indian markets, and them the Chinese procure those enormous shipmenta of opium and raw cotton upon which the prosperity, if not the exis- tence, of our Eastern authority depeads. For what is it, then, that we are now to contribute to wards a Chinese war?

Freach wines and brandies may fail, as they bave failed before, but there are other wine producing regions on the globe. The United States and Spain might prohibit exportations from their tobacco fields, and yet we should not be long without an alternative; but lot China be closed, aud where should we seek for tea, the consumption of which is as universal and indispensable in our country as that of blue cotton fabrics is among the Chinese themselves?

From this rapid history of the affair in its leading cir. cumstancee, it will be seen that such an event is well cal- culated to give rise to serious reflections as to the state of the country.

Two of those who | fled, it is reported, finding their pursuers gaining upon them, deliberately stopped, and Javing bare the abdomen, performed the “hari-kiri,” it being a point of honor never to interrupt or interfere, even for the ends of justice, with @ man so honorably engaged, Here, then, is the highest’ personage in the empire, af ter the Milkado and the Tycoon, close to his own residence, on the great highway of the official and moated quarter, surrounded by his own retinue, (a ceded by a brother of the Tycoon with his retinue still in — sight, and followed by another high Damio and his escort, whom, it appears, were mute spectators, attacked | mall armed band, variously represented As ten and een in number, with a desperation which shows ust have deliberately consented to the sacrifice of lives to obtain the end. They were the Prince of Mito’s men, one of the ‘Go-sun-kay, aB the the three brothers of the Tycoon are styled, a disaifected pretender of the succession. His territory lies some seventy miles from Jeddo, behind the head of the Bay, and it ts said they are a prey to insurrection among the followers. The old prince, soon after the death of the late Tycoon, was deposed for plotting against the young Tycoon, and his son, 2 man about forty, was installed in his place—such being the usual practice wheu the head of a house falls in- to disgrace. We appear in the Isles of Japan, then, to be transported back to Furope in the sixteenth and seventeenth centu- ries, or still earlier, when feudal princes and nobles lived surrounded by a retainers, raised their own levies, and waged war on each other, or their suzeraip, as pas- sion or interest might suggest—chiefs who had settled their own feuds by a guet-apens for the assassination by their followers of an obnoxious rival—the times of our own Richards and Heorys—of Francis 1., the Charles Jo Heurys of France, or the Guelphs and Ghibeliues of italy. ‘The question which first suggests itself on a review of the facts is one of grave importance. Is this a commence- ment of a civil war for the succession, or merely a feud between the Prince of Mito and I-kamonokami, here- ditary regent of a minor, or was it merely an attack of “loonings,” a8 the government would have us believe— disbanded soldiers and ruffians? Whatever may be the true answer, country where seventeen men can be found, at the bidding of any mas- tor, to devote themself with’ a sori of heroic contempt for death, almost without a chance of escape, and to that which is more terrible still, torture such as the Japanese employ with truly Orieutal refinement, can offer little security either to individuals or governments.
