GA.RIBALDPS EXPEDITION. (Ron ths knoics3 Correspondent oj t 1 0 ,;. Times.) - SANTA MARIA, OCT. 16. Things are here approaching fast towards a solu tion. It Is, one may say, a qUeStiol 3 of days, While here to the south Garibaldi's fordo have formed a barrier which, after the experience of a fortnight ago, the Neapolitans will scarcely attempt to break their heads against, the Piedmontese, approaching from east and north, are drawing together the iron circle out of which there is no outlet. One column had already, two days ago, passed Foggia on its way to Benevento and the Upper Volturno; it has landed at Manfredonia, and is making its way through the plains of the Capitanata. The other, under the personal command of the King himself, has landed at Giulia, and has pushed forward to Pescara, whence a branch leads into the main road from the north through the Abruzzi into the rear of Capua. Victor Emmanuel was to have entered his tew kingdom yesterday. As for the Piedmontese troops landed at Naples, they have already taken up their position in line. One battalion has already, some days ago, been sent to Aversa. Yesterday a battalion of Bersaglieri, the same which took part in , the affair at Caserta on the 2d, and two battalions of the Ist and two battalions of the 2d Regiment, came up to Santa Maria, and thence marched to St. Angelo, to relieve a part of the Medici and Turr Divisions, which had been on duty there ever since the Ist. The Bixio Division came to relieve the rest of the Turr Division at Santa Maria, where they have had similar outpost duty since the battle of the Ist inst. It was high time, for this fatiguing service, in the heavy autumnal rains, with the cold winds, the heavy dews, and chilly mornings, was fast thinning the ranks. For the most pot in the open air, or with but indifferent huts, constructed of branches and straw, without camp fires at night, and with continual alarms, it was a wonder that these young volunteers could resist as they did. While there were projects of an immediate of fensive the holding of the same lines was quite easy, and when the first troops went up to the po sition on the Volturno there never was any thought of field-works, barricades, &c. ; a few hundred men thought themselves quite sufficient for any emer gency. But now that Garibaldi has given up offen sive operations, and is waiting the arrival of the King and his army, ideas have changed. Every one is more intent on the political than on the military solution, which latter is easy enough if the former is once accomplished. The last doubts in this respect which sceptieal and ill-willed persons may have still entertained must vanish before the frank declaration which Garibaldi signed yesterday at Caserta. It is as follows : " ITALY AND VICTOR EMALAN UEL To satisfy a wish cherished by the whole nation I, the Dictator, decree as follows : " The Two Sicilies, which have been redeemed by Italian blood, and which have freely elected me their Dictator, form an integral part of one and indivisible Italy under her constitutional King,Victor Emmanuel, and his descendants " On the arrival of the King I will depose in his hands the dictatorship conferred upon me by the nation. " The Pro-Dictators are charged with the execution of the present decree. " Caserta, Oct. 15. G. GARIBALDI." After this decree both parties which have been vioing with each other to destroy Garibaldi will see that there is an end to their calculations. His ene miet will feel that in spite of all intrigues and in gra;titude he rises higher than ever at the moment they thought of crushing him, and his false friends will likewise understand that his noble nature will always find out the right way, in spite of the abuse which is made of the sacred name of friendship to lead him where their personal interests wish him to go , . Indeed this time they fell into their own snare, for the decree which I send you has been ac celerated by their last effort to divert Garibaldi from the right path. You will have heard of the late Ministerial crisis from your Naples correspondent, but there are some circumstances, perhaps, better known at Caserta head-quarters than at Naples, so I mention them in case you should not have heard them, The decree ordering the plebiscite for the 21st was published, and all seemed smooth, but the adverse party had not given up hope, and began an out door and indoor agitation to start the idea of a National Assembly, which should give away the Two Sicilies with some restrictions. Party spirit ran high, and both sides tried to do their best to produce disorder and confusion by ill timed demonstrations, which were threatening to become more and more envenomed. Fortunately a few days before General Turr, who had to leave the eainp for ill-health, had been named commander of ;the province and town of Naples, and was there to :keep things in order, which he did with great sk ill. The Pro-Dictator Pallavicini and the Ministry, seising this attempt, declared that they would re siwn. A council was ordered, to which Garibaldi came up from Caserta. Crispi, Cataneo, and their followers explained their views tolerably plausibly, starting from high political principles, constitu tional maxims, &c. The politicians of the other side had less eloquence and oratorical skill, and would probably have been beaten in this trial, had mot General Turr, who had likewise been summoned to, this Council, taken up the matter in his frank, soddier-like manner, declaring that Garibaldi, after ha - ving two days ago sanctioned the decree which comvokes the people to vote by universal suffrage, could not now revoke it and order assemblies ; that therefore all eloquence and argumentation were useless In fgee of such a fact. This blunt argument had its effect, and when it was finished Garibaldi said " The plebiscite remains as it is, Pallavicini remains Pro-Dietater, and the sitting is over." CASERTA, Ocr. 16. Yesterday morning two battalions of Neapolitans, rith some guns and cavalry, came out from Capua toi make a reconnaisance. They first approached St rata Maria by the main road, occupied the Capu cb iin convent and cemetery, which are about half wi IT to Santa Maria, and pushed their skirmishers for 'ward towards our outposts. The reception which they got from the Bixio Division seemed to satisfy them soon enough, for they drew to their left and turne d towards St. Angelo, which was probably their recil point of "observation." They fell there first on the Corte Brigade, with which they skir jilished just sufficiently to allow the Piedmontese B ersaglieri to come up and take their share.. These la - tier, without even much availing themselves of th, lir excellent firearms, charged them with the bad yonet, and threw them back with such violence tha t a number of the Neapolitans were driven into the s iver. The cannon of Capua opened as usual, and the Bersaglieri came back, having lost ten men, wot trnVed and killed. GarlYlaldi, apprised of the advance of t he Maria,en en emy, m and y, went 01 1' immediately by rail to Sant a thence br.earriage to St. Angelo. But all was nearly over when he arrived, and soon after the telegraph =non need .that the Neapolitans had withdrawn. Ime letters had been taken, according to which th 3 Neapolitans were preparing a last desperate blo iw, and great promises of money had been made to the soldiers and officers by the King, and provi sim is for the families of those who should fall in the str' isro.le. This made Garibaldi hasten up and give the order to 11.— troops at Caserta to be ready to mar. c. h. But the precautiuu useless, and by 2 p.m. Garibaldi was back again. T; ai s morning, at 6 p.m., Garibaldi reviewed the 1,5t1i 1 )ivision (Tarr), which is now almost entirely collect ed at Caserta. The troops were drawn up the esplanade before the Palace, where a few n lame tnts before the review began Colonel Peard li ad are ived likewise with a part of the English B rig•e4.4 3, which landed yesterday at Naples. They w ere thus :just in time to be reviewed by Gari li. As in his m ilit ary operations, so in his re vie 76 Garibaldi is prompt and quick. Putting hi s horse in a canter, he galloped along the rack 3: an d, h aving done ihis, he alighted from his orse, and had all the o ffi cers called up to form-- acircle' round him. Wh en th ey had all conv:# up he said ;—" My old com ra d es , we have done much in a short time, and I thank you of our country, of which y ou h ave • La. e name- in L“ v i ta l. Convey theso :fly thanks to th e sol diweelrl 1 ( sll;:d—c-r youe,connpand. Then, turning round to the officers of•tke British Brigade, he continued : —" With pleasure I see round here-the representa tives of a nation. which, from the beginning, has c a h n f d o to o u w r h e o a s u e s p e , 0 w w e h r i f c u h l h v a o h e e odwues it,n devenereyeewnalvu, we in a great inetAsure, that the principle of non -inter vention has been upheld, which is our safety."

Then addressing all he concluded by thanking once more the officers for the faithful way in which they had supported him. These few words, which take up so little space on paper, it took considerable time to deliver. Gari baldi, gifted by nature with rare eloquence, had lost his oratorical power through deep emotion, which soon affected all assembled. With that instinctive magnetism which communicates itself in such mo ments, his old companions of the ant expedition, who formed a gnat part of those present, felt that it was a farewell of their chief, and eye after eye was filled with tears. Nor was this popular instinct probably wrong, for after giving over everything to the Ring, Garibaldi will very likely withdraw to his dear island of Caprera, to eat the potatoes which he had sown in spring, before starting to conquer Sicily and Naples, and to meditate over ideas which have been before his mind ever since his earliest youth. What these are he has expressed in a curious document, which lam sure will be read with interest. It represents Garibaldi's " ulterior" views. It is to be published, but as it has not yet made its appearance, I send it you copied from the manuscript:— " Of the present State of Europe, and of what this latter could be in the Interest of the Governments and People. " Everyone can see that Europe is far from a normal state, and one which is advantageous for its population. " France, which without contradiction occupies the first rank among the European Powers, maintains 600,000 men under arms, one of the greatest fleets in the world, and an immense quantity of employes for her internal security. " England has not the same number of soldiers, but a more numerous fleet, and, perhaps, a greater number of employes for the security of her distant possessions. " Russia and Prussia, to maintain the equilibrium, have likewise to maintain immense armies. " The States of the second order, if only by spirit of imi tation and pour payer de presence are obliged to keep up the same proportion. " I won't speak of Austria and of the Ottoman Empire, which are doomed to perish for the welfare of the unfortu ' nate populations which they have oppressed for centuries. " One may well demand, Why is Europe so violent and agitated ?' Everyone talks of progress and civilisation. It seems to me that we differ but little from those primitive times when men warred with each other for plunder. We pass our lives in threatening each other constantly, while in Europe the great majority not only of the educated men, but even of those endowed with common sense, understand perfectly that one could pass through this miserable life without these constant menaces against each othet and with out this necessity—which seems fatally imposed on the peo ple by some secret enemy of humanity—to massacre each other with so much science and refinement. "For instance, let us suppose one thing— " Let us suppose that Europe were to form one State ; who would think of deranging her, who would dare lo dis turb the repose of Europe, this sovereign of the world ? "According to this supposition which we have made, there would be no armies, no fleets ; and these immense 1 capitals, almost always wrenched from the wants of the people and squandered in an unproductive and fratricidal manner, would be used for its advantage in a colossal de velopment of industry—in the improvement of roads, in the construction of bridges, in making canals, in the foundation of public establishments, and in the establishment of schools, which would redeem from misery and ignorance so many poor creatures, who in all countries of the world, however slight their civilisation, are condemned to become brutalised, and prostitute soul and body on account of the egotism, calcu lation, and bad administration of the powerful and privileged classes. " Well I the realisation of the social reforms which I mention depends simply on one great and generous initia tive, because I ask in what circumstance has Europe pre sented more chance for these benefits ? " Let us examine the situation as it is at present. "Alexander 11., in Russia, proclaiming the emancipa tion of the serfs. " Victor Emmanuel, in Italy, throwing his sceptre upon the battle-field and exposing his person for the regeneration of a noble race and a great nation. " In England, a virtuous Queen and a generous and wise nation, which associates itself with enthusiasm to the cause of oppressed nationalities. "Lastly, France, called to arbitrate in Europe by the mass of her concentrated population, by the valour of her soldiers, and by the recent prestige of the most brilliant period of her military history. "To whom, then, belongs the initiative in this great work ? " To the country which marches as the advanced guard of the revolution. " The idea of a European confederation put forward by the Chief of the French Empire, and which would give se curity and happiness to the world, would it not be better than all these political combinations which torment this poor people and keep it in a continual fever ? " The thought of the terrible destruction which one com bat among the great fleets of the Western Powers would produce must shake with terror him who would think of giving the order for it, and probably there never would be a man so cowardly bold to take the responsibility of it upon himself. " The rivalry which has existed between France and England from the 17th century to our times exists still, but with infinitely less intensity now, and we mention this for the glory of human progress, so that a transaction between the greatest nations of Europe—a transaction which would have for its aim the welfare of humanity, can no more be placed among the utopias of noble-hearted men. The base then, of an European confederation is naturally traced to France and England. Let France and England frankly and loyally unite, and Italy, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, Roumelia will instinctively range themselves round them. " Finally, the divided and oppressed nationalities, the Sclavonic, Germanic, and Scandinavian races, gigantic Russia included, will not remain out of this political re• generation, to which they are called by the spirit of the century. " I know well there is; one objection to the foregoing project—What to do with that numberless mass of men employed new in the armies and navies? "-Tho answer is easy. " By sending away these masses we should abolish aggra- vating and dangerous institutions, and the mind of the Sove reign no more occupied with the lust of conquest, with war and destruction, would turn towards useful institu tions, and descend from the study of generalities to that of families and individuals. " For the rest, by the growth of industry, by security of commerce, the merchant navy would claim at the same in stant all the active part of the navy; and the great quan tity of works stimulated by peace, association, and security would absorb all this armed population if it were double what it is. " War being henceforth almost impossible, armies would become useless. But what would not be useless would be to maintain the people in its warlike habits by a national militia which would be always ready to suppress all dis orders and every ambition which would dare to disturb Europe. "I wish ardently that my words should reach those to whom God has confided the holy mission to do good, and that they would do it, preferring real grandeur, based on ephemeral e l m ov e e ra a l n gran d gratitude de of the people, to their present and " G. GARIBALDI." This document was drawn up almost as it stands this last spring at Nice. It is one of those dreams in which the " Filibuster " Garibaldi loves to in dulge, and with which, in his moments of expan sion, he loves to entertain his friends. Count Arrivabene, the correspondent, taken on the Ist of October, has been sent back, owing to the exertions of Mr. Elliott, who did everything he could officially to get him released. a t / A i t l a n A r r t e D sp f o s n n HE A t : i f . sa the R, Daily rELs : iv News. (From Oct. 15, at Night. Receive at length this letter from your special correspon dent, whose death, disappearance, and the reports current I, ore had led you to mourn. Slightly wounded, and taken prisoner in a the Ist of October, I am here again after a captivity of 13 days in the lloyal !Janie It would be a long and tedious story were I to relate minutely all the details of the rather unpleasant adventure which happened to me. I shall therefore condense the sad tale into the shortest possible space, so as to account, as is the duty of a newspaper correspondent, for a silence of 20 days. The details of the glorious action fought by Garibaldi on the Ist of October are already familiar to the readers of the ileily News, and I shall not repeat them. It was a fight of heroes. As I had been informed that the royal troops were going to attack the national army, I on that morning fol lowed Garibaldi's staff, which left Caserta by a special train at 4 o'clock a.m. I had left directions to my servant to have my saddle-horse ready by 5 o'clock at Santa Maria, but on arriving there neither horse nor servant could be found. Major Missori, of Garibaldi's Guides, kindly offered rne a pl ace i n his carriage. and off we went, close l y follow ing the char-a -bane of the eh' en ral in f towards Sant g e - - ie Angelo. W e • reaching a amai w i ere driving at a good speed when, on bridge which crosses the main road, our carriages were fired at by some Neapolitan skirmishers, who had SO far advanced on the. road we were passing as to discharge their rifles at a distance of 20 paces.

O ne o f his orderly was wounded i n th e l e officers, ge diffi cult. Garibaldi Jumped out of th e carria , and we followed Major Trampo lini o- his in the h ea d. Th e Neapo anoth Titan sharpshooters had by this time advanced en the road, and it was clear that their intention was to surround the whole of Garibaldi's staff. The general, calm and composed as he always is, drew his sword, and gave the order to a company of General Medici's men, who were coming up from Sant Angelo, to keep the Neapolitans in check—an Ort i ei ; gave him time to reach his saddle-horse, which was near at hand. Seeing that Major Trampolino was wonnded, and being a pedestrian, I followed him to a farm house, with the intention of reaching Sant Angelo by a road over the hills. I had pretty well succeeded in putting my project into execution, when I was sudderly stopped by three shepherds, who, knowing I was surrounded by the Neapolitans, summoned me in the name of his Sicilian Ma jesty to give myself up. They had not, however, discovered that I was in possession of a good Adam's revolver—a weapon which never fails. Self-defence gave me the right of using it, and so I did. Having lodged a bullet in the leg of one of the ruffians, the other two took to their heels. I thought myself for the moment so far safe that I stopped to survey the scene which the country presented. I saw masses of the Neapolitans coming up from the camp of Capua in S circular line, their fire literally covering the plain, Right and left the artillery of Sant Angelo and Santa Maria bat teries were spreading death, and far on the front brave Brigadier Dunne was making almost incredible efforts to oppose the advancing march of the enemy. Whilst I was looking at the fratricidal fight I was suddenly roused by an hurrah, which was soon followed by a volley of musketry. The sharp whistle of balls, and the flash of hundreds of muskets, left no doubt that a party of Neapolitans was coming up the hill behind. And so it was. I had scarcely moved from the place, when I was surrounded by the enemy's riflemen. There was nothing to be done—l was prisoner without hope of escape. But it seemed as though the Neapolitans preferred to have me dead ; for, although I was walking towards them, they fired at me most obstinately, and a bullet wounded me slightly in the left leg. I fell, and the men came up, surrounded me, robbed me of my money, my watch, and part of my clothes. One struck me on the head, another gave me such a heavy blow on the shoulders that, although it was a bright day, I seemed to see all the stars in the heavens. Had not the commanding officer come up they would have murdered me. I was a Gari baldian, they said—they wanted to revenge the imaginary assassination of their comrades. The captain having ordered me to follow the column, I was obliged to do so, although I could scarcely walk. I begged him to send me to Capua at once, but he declined to do so. "I am ordered to go up the hill, and I cannot detach any of my men; besides," he added, "were I to abandon you, my men would surely kill you; follow me as well as you can." I shall always remember the pain I suffered on that long errand of four hours. The marching column was always fighting with Garibaldi's bersaglieri, men fell dead around me, and the scene was one of the most distress ing that can be imagined. At about half-past ten o'clock one of the lieutenants of the party was struck by two balls and fell down mortally wounded at my side. He was a young man of one and twenty with . an angelic smile on his face. I hastened to assist him, and implored the captain to allow me to dress his wounds. The captain refused, in spite of the entreaties of his wounded comrade, who begged me not to abandon him. I offered the captain to give my word of honour that I would present myself at the Neapoli tan camp as soon as I had brought the poor fellow to Gari baldi's ambulance, which was near at hand. All was of no avail, and the wounded man was hoisted on the shoulders of two soldiers, who, ten minutes afterwards threw him into a ditch, cruelly abandoning him. I could no longer think of myself. Death and misery were around me, and I was heartbroken in witnessing the scone of horror. At last we reached the head quarters of General Refitted, who di rected the action of that clay. Hearing that I was an Eng lishman, he gave vent to the most unwarranted passion, asking me what business I had there. I told him that I was a newspaper correspondent, who had undertaken the duty of writing about the Italian war. This declaration did not seem to mollify the General, who said I should pay for all the calumnies the English press had spread against the Neapolitan army. Whilst I was thus speaking with the Neapolitan general some officers came up and ordered me and ten others, my companions, to follow them to Capua. We were marched between two rows of soldiers, amidst the most brutal insults of a frantic population. They wanted us to cry out, " Long live Francis II.," a thing which all de clined to do. How we were able to reach the fortress of Capua safe I cannot tell. With the help of the Almighty, we at last crossed the drawbridge of the fortress, and were safe. Once within the walls of the fortress we were kindly treated by the officers, who openly told us they deplored the fratricidal fight which was staining the soil of Italy with Italian blood. They told us that military honour only induced them to fight against their brethren, and one young artillery officer added, they had been deceived by the King, who told them he would release them from the oath of allegiance. More than one pressed our hands as that of brethren. 'Whilst this scene was going on within the for tress the guns were roaring outside. Wounded were con stantly brought in, and from the countenance of the sol diers who were constantly arriving it was clear that the day was going against the royal army. Dusk came on, and then we knew that the Neapolitans had suffered a defeat. This increased our danger, for the soldiers wanted to mur der us. In their eyes we were Garibaldians, belonging to the band of heroes who had beaten them. Our guard was, however, redoubled ; and we prepared to pass the night— a long night, full of anguish. Next morning we were told that an order had come from the King to remove us to Gaeta. I asked leave to say good-bye to my wounded companions at the hospital, a demand which was granted. There I saw Major Cattabene and his noble companions lying on their bed of sorrow. At eight o'clock p.m. six carriages were waiting for us, and we started with 85 of Garibaldi's soldiers. An escort of an infantry battae lion and a squadron of hussars accompanied us. We marched the whole of the night, till, at daybreak, we arrived at the village of Sant Agate. The population—a population of wild beasts in human form —was waiting for us. As our cortege approached we were received with the most horrible howling, and with a shower of stones. We were, however, safely taken to the gendarmerie barrack. Some of our com panions were so ill that after they had laid down on the ground they could not move for hours. But some kind officers came up and defended us, ordering the mob to dis perse. We thus passed the day, thinking of 15 miles we had to perform before reaching our destination. At night we started again, with the came escort of cavalry and in fantry. The officer who commanded the latter was a Count Raiz, a perfectand noble-minded gentleman. In our posi tion we soon looked upon him as our best friend. Captain Ruiz had told us that at midnight we should pass through the camp of the Garigliano. The Garigliano is a military position which defends the road of the Abruzzi, and 12,000 Neapolitan troops had been posted there to oppose the ad vancing march of the Piedmontese. At this announcement new dangers rose before us. The midnight hour struck at last, and at a sudden turning of the road the bivouac fires of the Neapolitans were discovered. The night was dark. The country is flat, and the far outline of the Tyrrhene sea extended itself in our front like a waving silver riband. On our right and left enormous fires were burning, spreading a vivid red light upon the surrounding country. Here and there groups of soldiers, wrapped up in their large white cloaks, were to be seen moving about the camp. The shining hel met of the dragoons, the picturesque ktapeka of the lancers, and the shako of the infantry, could be made out in the gleam of the flames, making a most striking scene. But as our party was moving the cry of "The Garibaldians I the Garibaldians I" was suddenly heard, and another horrible howling followed it. The soldiers left their bivouac fires to meet us, some of them brandishing the burning stakes at us. But Captain Ruiz had sworn to protect us, and he nobly kept his word. A quarter of an hour afterwards wo had passed the camp and were safe. At 4 o'clock we arrived at Gaeta. It was still dark as we entered the castle gates, upon which we seemed to see the famous verse of Dante. We were then desired to leave our carriage, and the com manding officer handed us over to our gaoler, having first counted us, as if we had been a herd of sheep. The iron gate was closed on us, and the poor soldiers were pent up in one of those low, dirty dens which Lord Llanover has, I think, recently described in one of his letters. As for us officers—for both I and a colleague were considered as Garibaldi's officers and treated accordingly—we were first shown into a square room without air, without furniture, and so damp that the walls were all green and mouldy. The stench was so dreadful that we could scarcely face it. All the indignation which can be felt by an Englishman who thinks himself wronged found expression, and I strongly protested against the barbarity of locking us up in such a nasty place. My boldness gave courage to my companions, and we all protested. The lieutenant who had taken us in charge was sent for, and two other more decent rooms were found. We were 24 in number, and at our arriving in the new room we found six others, Garibaldi's officers, who had been made prisoners at Cajazzo. All our furniture con sisted of a rough table and a dirty mattress of old and half rotten straw. We were told that the King allowed us 30 bajocchi a day, upon which we were obliged to subsist. In this place we were obliged to sleep, to cook, and eat our dinners—in a word, to live. You may conceive how we were situated. A few days afterwards, as eight now pri soners came in,we were removed to the upper storey of the castle, in a more spacious gallery. Wo were locked up all the day, except for half an hour after dinner, in which we were allowed to promenade on the terrace of the castle. Out of our 30 bajocchi granted by his Majesty full :ten were absorbed by a man named Tobia, and by a convict who had murdered his most intimate friend,who were charged to buy our provisions. But what was this when compared to the condition of the poor soldiers of Garibaldi ? They were obliged to live upon five grani (about a penny), they had no air, and were obliged to sleep upon a bed of rotten straw, which had been used by all the prisoners who had visited that horrible den for two or three mouths before, The consequence of this was that half the men were taken ill the next day, and two days afterwards they were half starred. On our remonstrating, General Valle, a good and kind man —answered he could do nothing, for food and straw were wanting in the place. Such was, and still is, the condition in which are kept prisoners of war, who fought like lions. Such is the treatment of soldiers who were always kind to the Neapolitan prisoners taken in Sicily and Calabria. On my arrival at Gaeta I began to protest against my imprisonment. I had been taken as a simple spectator; I did not hold any commission in Garibaldi's army; I was an English subject, and I asked to be allowed to write to my minister at Naples. Gen. Viale and Gen. Ferrari seemed to recognise that I could only be considered as r,. t mere spectator; but having applied to the King, wil'o had taken the same view of my case and that of my colleague, the ministers were consulted, and they all decided agair st me. I was, however, told that I colfid write to Mr. ElLet, and I did so ; but, as I discovered on my arriving at Naples my letters were not forwarded. Two days passed away, and I was taktli ill. .All my money had been taken from me by tile Neapolitans who had arrested me at Sant An gelo, and the scanty allowance of the prison we _s not enough to support me. On the fifth day I was attacked by fever. My illness seemed to increase my courage, and I asked to be brought into the presence of the general. I wrote to him a sort of statement, which he promised to present to the King. From the oonvict who served us I heard one morning that I was suspected to be a Muratist agent; an other fellow-prisoner told me ths.t he had heard a captain say that I was sent by I.abrd Palmerston to Garibaldi in order to try to get Siefiy for England. At any other time I should have hea r til y l aughed at this stupid nonsense. On Wednesday morning I was suddenly summoned before Gen. Viale, Although ill I went down, and, arrived in his presence, the general handed to me a Journal des Debats, in which my name was mentioned together with that of the Hon. Evelyn Ashley and that of another English gentleman I now forget. The general told me that the article in question proved plainly that I had led the soldiers of Garibaldi on the 19th of September. I pointed out that the article was anonymous, and I wrote a letter in which I sea that I had never led soldiers, neither on that day nor on any other, since 1848. I also protested against my captivity, and told him that I had a firm faith in my Government ; that it would make the dignity of the British nation re spected inmy case, as it had done inthe caseof the Cagliari. Next day passed away without any new incident, but on Friday I was suddenly summoned anew to the presence of General Viale, where I met a Signor Materasso, our agent at Gaeta. This gentleman had not been idle. On hearing that an English subject was amongst the prisoners he had sent word to Mr. Elliot, who had claimed me. A council of ministers had been summoned to consider my case more fully, and my liberation had been decided. I was asked to write a declaration that I would not carry my arms against Francis 11. This done, I was handed over to the consul, who took me tahis house, treated me in the kindest manner, sent for the doctor, and cared for me as for one of his family. Yesterday morning the French man-of-war Muette came into harbour. Signor Materasso asked the captain to take me to Naples, and yesterday evening I arrived there, where I was greeted by my friends as one risen from the tomb. Here I must stop. I have already written too much about my personal adventures, and I beg your readers to pardon me if I have dwelt too much on a theme which can have so little interest for them. PRUSSIAN DESPATOR ON ITALIAN AFFAIRS. The Prussian Government has delivered its soul in a despatch from Baron Schleinitz to M. de St. Simon, and naughty Sardinia now knows what she has to expect from the House of Hohenzollern. For our own part we at once declare that the ways of Prussia are not our ways, and that we will not follow an i nc h on t h e road f Despotism. We are therefore slow to believe the announcement of the Patrie with respect to another despatch said to have been forwarded by our Foreign Minister to St. Petersburg. Why, in fact, should we be led by Prus sia? The part which she is now playing is perfectly transparent. She wishes to use us and abuse us. She has hopes that we shall soon be simple enough to back her up with our money and men in a policy and system of government which this nation abhors, and is already showing that there shall be no change in her vi ays, and no obligation to her backers. From some rude instinct of Conservatism, or some anti- Gallican prejudice, or possibly from some dynastic entanglements, we are to play at the game of " fol low my leader," in which we have absolutely no thing to gain, but a great deal to lose, and in which it will be impossible to decide whether victory or defeat will be the better for us. There is only one thing quite certain in the business, and that is, that it at a cost of a thousand millions and a proportionate number of men, we were to secure for Austria and Prussia the whole of their present frontiers, and a few provinces more, the very first use they would make of their new and more comfortable position would be to do us an ill turn, just to show th e i r independence and t o avert the contagion of our freedom. In point of fact, Prussia has really a greater dislike for our social customs and institu tions than she has for the dangerous ambition of another neighbour. She can at least sympathise with the man who is looking so hard across his boundary, for the Rhine is a very intelligible object of cupidity, bit she cannot sympathise with a nation whose chief rule of life is the unwritten law of mu tual consideration, and who can move about without an official always at their elbow; So, at the same moment that the organs of the Prussian Govern ment are instructed to inform the world that we are most delightfully at accord as to the part we are to take on the European stage, they are showing us up to the world as a nation of blackguards ready to convert every railway carriage into a prize ring. The old English gentleman, it is expected, will take down his old folios and investigate the original text of treaties, written across and across half a dozen times, and then furbish up his old armour to do battle for captive princes and fair provinces in jeopardy, without the hope of being considered even a gentlemanly fool. He is a brute after all, and, when he has cut his fagot and carried it, is to be dismissed for an ugly Caliban. This same Caliban, he is already aware, has a good deal of work cut out for him by the Prussian diplomatists. He has not only to save Prussia from some tormenting anxieties as to her present possessions, but to foster her hopes and share her illusions in another quarter. Our army and our navy, as well as our vast revenue, are no more regarded as our own, and bestowed upon us by Nature for oar own private use, than are the strong legs of a horse or the fat flanks of a prize ox. " Sic vos non vobis" is the song of the Prussian Minister, as he sees us ploughing the teas or marching across the world. Clowns as we are, like many other clowns, we are created for the support of legitimate monarchs, despotic Governments, and bureaucratic institutions. The most remarkable feature in this outbreak of German insolence, which, like many thunderstorms, has broken out in two places at once, is the con spiracy or the terrorism whtch it betrays. Staats Procurators and Ober-Staats Procurators, with all their staffs and a dozen Gazettes and Zeitungs, all join either in impertinent abuse of British travel lers or in cowardly suppression of the facts even when tendered to them, and a unanimous admission that neither opinion nor truth itself is free in Prus sia. When a Prussian official on the seat of justice betrays his bias by digressing into the grossest abuse of this country, it is a crime in Prussia for any one, native or foreign, to protest against his brutality. The journals themselves are not at liberty to record the fact that such a protest has been made. The British tourist will now know what to expect on the Rhine, that great thorough fare of nations, as it has been fondly supposed. He is absolutely at the mercy of any Prussian who may choose to insult him ; and when it is known that the Queen's yacht was stopped at Cologne by the authorities, who demanded to search her and turn the Queen's boxes inside out, we may conclude that the wish to insult the whole nations in the person of her Majesty is not wanting. Even the Irish rabble in the United States have not behaved so ill to the Prince o f W a l es. But, to return to o u r tou rist, if he makes an attempt to aoaert against any Prussian the unieesaai rights of the traveller, that Prumitill has only to hand him over to the police man, the policeman to the magistrate, the magis trate to the inspector, the inspector to his superior, and so on ad infinitum, without the smallest oppor tunity of redress. The unhappy tourist, once in prison or under judicial process, might as well be in an oubliette in the Castel Ovo, with the waters of the Mediterranean rolling ever his head. He is hermetically sealed up by the German press. There is not an editor, or a writer, or a compositor, or a printer's boy who dares breathe a syllable about him, unless it be some foul abuse of the British tourists or glorification of the Ober-Procurator Von Something-or-Other. If they correct a statement, supply a missing fact, or give publicity to a mild protest, they are liable to prosecution and im prisonment, with the certain knowledge that the liability will be duly enforced. This is the con dition of the Prussian press, and the Government of which it forms a virtual part ; and all Europe has just been told that Lord John Russell has ex changed with the Prussian Minister assurances of unanimity a n d support under any probable cir cumstances. No doubt, there is a considerable diffeAnce be tween English and German customs and institu tions ; about as great a difference as there is between a natural tree and a wooden tree in a German toybox. But, what is th© result ? In this country no foreigner has to complain of incivility either at our railway stations or from his fellow passengers, and such an incident ac R German being deprived of his seat, and dragged to prison for asserting his ri g ht t o it, is u tterly impossiblo here. The railway porters to a man would vindi cate his right against the highest nobleman in Ole FRE SUN, LONDOfN, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, UK ,_....- 7 ,..........— __—............................. --- . I land, even if it should have happened that the fo- I feigner had touched the nobleman in the 'course of the dispute, The quarrel would be se I 'Wed, with the triumph of right, within the walls of the station. If not, the magistrates we'old only give the railway officers a scolding for areir stupidity, as well as their want of generosity to a foreigner. But, in fact, no such thin occur; and the fact of living in this met , - - • • occurs here, or could thirty thousand Germans own artisans, sld ..opolis, taking the place of our only quarrelling, as they do, with one an ,- ..d proves our hospitality. Yet a Prunlau_iunctiona ' ry, an officer of the Crown, is to Inet 13.1) in open court and urge the Court to make an. example of an English tourist, and subject him and all his countrymen to ignominy in his person, because we are a nation of " rude impu dent blackguards." If the Prussian Govern ment choose to have such a system, such an official conspiracy, they must accept the necessary conclu sion. It is the Prussian Government that is answer able for this insult. It speaks by the mouth of Moller. It gives him not only protection and im punity, but security even from protest or correction. Not a paper, not a tongue, not a Prussian, not an Englishman is allowed to protest. It is an official declaration, and must not be impugned. Well !as there seems no remedy for it, and the entire king dom of Prussia stands committed to the official statement that we are a nation of prizefighters and blackguards, and show our rudeness and insolence everywhere, not only when flurried with quick travelling, but even in residence abroad, we must vindicate our reputation in our way. Prussia must fight her own battles. She is making the Rhine infamous in the e y es o f thi s country. She may live to want Englishmen there, blackguards as she chooses to call them.—Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. There was but a small gathering at the Subscription rooms the evening preceding the racing, and very little business transacted.

Stakes All L ord Stamford' s h orses are scratchiei d for the Nursery SIR A. ALISON ON THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. The 60th, 61st, and 93d Lanarkshire Highland Rifle Volunteers, and the 14th Lanarkshire Artil lery Volunteers, were sworn in on Friday evening last by Sir Archibald Alison, in the City-hall, Glas gow. The Highland Companies presented a most soldierlike appearance, and their steadiness and regularity excited the admiration of all present. They are one of the finest-looking bodies of men to be seen anywhere. The Rev. D. M'Taggart, chap lain to the Highland Corps, was present, and be fore and immediately after the administration of the oath engaged in prayer. Thereafter Captain Macfarlan moved a vote of thanks to Sir Archibald for his presence, and also proposed that he should be elected an honorary member of the Highland Companies. Sir A. Alison, in the course of his ad dress, said,—" In coming forward on this occasion, I have done no more than my simple duty as a magistrate of the Queen. It is a duty, let me say, on this as on all other similar occasions, is the highest degree grateful and satisfactory for me to perform ; for if there is one feeling more than ano ther which must penetrate the soul of every lover of his country, it is to see so large a body of their fellow-citizens standing forward to defend their country against all enemies, and to tranrinit unim paired to their latest posterity, their religion, their laws, and their independence. (Cheers.) I feel proud of the honour you have done me in enrolling me in your ranks. I have all my life had a warm heart towards the Highlanders. (Applause.) Gen tlemen, you have now discharged an important and a solemn duty. You have assembled to take the oath of allegiance to your Sovereign in a period of no ordinary difficulty, and which will lead you to the discharge of no ordinary duties—at a period when war seems to be threatening in Europe, and when there is no saying how soon the mimic warfare of the review or the parade may be turned into the stern realities of war. But lam perfectly sure that, if such an event sbould occur, you will show yo urse l ves not unworthy of the high reputa tion which the Highlanders have gained in every country of Europe for their martial qualities, and that you will act in a manner worthy of your noble device—" For God and our country. '(Great ap plause.) The sight of this room, and the sight of the armed men whom I see before me, forcibly re call a similar scene that occurred 11 months ago, when for the first time I had the pleasure of meeting a large body of the volunteers of this city in arms ; and then there were 1,200 men assembled, which was thought a very great effort. It was by far the largest assembly of volunteers that had ever been seen in Britain, and excited great interest. It was then thought by the most sanguine supporters of the volunteer movement that possibly 4,000 men might be raised in Lanarkshire for the defence of their Queen and country. Before 10 months had elapsed. I had the pleasure of seeing 21,500 Scottish volun teers assemble before their Queen, within sight of the ancient palace of their kings, at the foot of the mountain on the summit of which was the ancient Scottish lion reared, and who, by their gallant bear ing, their discipline, and their admirable equipment and conduct, showed themselves worthy of the high eulogy pronounced on them by their Sovereign, that she had never seen so noble a sight, and she never expected to see such another again. (Loud cheers.) I regard with no small degree of pride and satisfac tion the leading part which the inhabitants of this county and city have taken in this great movement At the review in Edinburgh there were 9,000 men in arms from Lanarkshire and the neighbouring counties. This is the appearance that a population of 700,000 men made before their Sovereign. The whole of England assembled in London—l saw the review myself only turned out 20,500 for the review in Hyde Park. Scotland turned out 21,500 for the review in Edinburgh ; and Scot land has 3,000.000 inhabitants, and England has 19,000,000. (Cheers.) The detractors of the move ' ment, that at first nearly overwhelmed it, have said nothing for a long time; but they have said that the Volunteer movement is a menace to other coun tries, that it is the raising up of a warlike spirit, from which must accrue the most dangerous and ruinous consequences to the country, for they say that it will involve us in war.
