ITALY

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIIIES.

SIR,—I received your favour this afternoon,
and at once set to work.

My letters will embrace the most interesting
and latest news from erenj State of Italy, and as

I have been for some time past in direct com-
munication with several correspondents at Rome,
Naples, Florence, Venice, and Turin, I am in a
position to get the best and earliest news. Send
me the Daily Times containing my first letter.—
I am, sir, your obedient servant, C. K.

MILAN, oth August.
From information that I have received direct
from Messina, I am enabled to send you the fol-
lowing particulars of the affairs of Sicily and
Naples to the Ist instant:—

Two days after the splendid victory pf Milazzo
Garibaldi consented to allow Bosco to capitulate.
The conditions of the capitulation were as fol-
lows :—That the Royal troops should be permitted
to leave the fortress with military honours, except
Bosco, who, it was determined, should be com-

pelted to leave on foot, and without his sword ;
but Garibaldi, ever magnanimous and ready to
forget the dastardly system of warfare adopted
by his enemies, namely, the throwing of boiling

oil and water from the houses upon his soldiers,
consented to his keeping his sword. The for-
tresses were consigned to Garibaldi, with all the
guns in position, field artillery, ammunition,

horses, and the half of the number of the mules.

In two days all were surrendered to Garibaldi,
and the troops embarked for Naples. Bosco
begged the favour to be allowed to leave in the
evening, in order to avoid being seen by the
people. This, however, was of little avail, as he
was recognised while passing through the city,
and saluted with a storm of hisses and impreca-
tions from the citizens, who followed him to the
pier where he embarked. The Neapolitans, before
leaving the forts, spiked sixteen of the thirty
guns that they left behind ; and from the moment
that they commenced to negotiate for the capitu-

lation, purposely kept the horses and mules
without either food or water, so that many of
those that were left behind have since died.

It is a fact worthy of notice, especially as much
has been written about the disaffection among
the Neapolitan troops, that notwithstanding every
means were adopted to induce the troops to
declare for Garibaldi, not one man left the ranks.

On the 25th the Sicilian army left for Messina :
on the 26th Medici's column occupied the heights
of Messina, and on the 27th Clary consented to
capitulate, Medici entering the city without firing
a shot. Fortune seems to guide and protect every
movement of Garibaldi, and success after success
crowns every effort of his undaunted army of boys
(sixty per cent. of the number being mere lads),
who have in every engagement defeated three
times their number of well-disciplined troops
with the advantage of position, forts, artillery,
and cavalry. The capitulation was signed by
Clary and Medici on the 28th, at the house of the.
banker, Frances*. Fiorentini. The Neapolitan
commander still holds the citadel, and the forts
Don Blasco, Lanterna, and San Salvatore, which
will have a garrison of 3,000 or 4,004 men ; the
rest of the troops embark for Naples. The two
small forts, Gonzaga and Castellaccio, have been
surrendered to Garibaldi. One of the most •
important and novel stipulations of this capitula-
tion is that under no consideration shall the tits-
del molest the town unless they are attacked, and
that a strict neutrality shall be observed, during-
the pending war. As soon as Medici's column
took possession of the city the -first impulse of the
people was to hurl down and destroy in a thou-

sand pieces the two marble statues of the family
of Francis 11., the head of one of the same having
been dragged about the principal streets of Mes-
sina amid the most frightful yells of the populace.
The next act of destruction was a bronze statue
of the famous Pietro Tesserani, which was erected(
in 1848, and will be in a few days converted into,
rifled cannons, thus putting out of sight the
offending remembrance of the tyrannical Bour-
bons. These acts of the people were cornmittedi
under the eyes of the Neapolitans and citadel,
which, with its thousand cannons, dared not fire
a shot.

On the morning of the 27th, a rumour was
spread with the rapidity of lightning in every
part of the city, that the Dictator was to enter at
San Leone at 2 o'clock .in the afternoon, so the
every man, woman, and child, that could crawl,
rushed to this point, where a scene of the greatest
excitement presented itself—the people. gesticu-
lating with the utmost rapidity of movement of
shoulders, hands, arms, eyes, mouth, and dancing
like so many wild Indians in anticipation of their
approaching joy in beholding their Santo _Libera-
tore (Sainted Liberator). What a change in rt,
few hours! Not one of that immense crowd but
yesterday dared not whisper the name of Gari-
baldi without running the risk of being taken to
the public square, and shot down like a dog. At
a few minutes past two, a carriage arrived co':,..
taining the great man, accompanied by tsr,,o of
his staff. Any description of the scen., that
ensued is beyond the power of my pe
n. In an
instant the horses were released, and the carriage
was drawn to the Royal Palace, II ,midst the most
frantic cheers of the multitur',e,
many of them
absolutely weeping like chil.dren, so great was
their joy. On descendin, from his carriage, the
General was literally sw.erounded, so that he could
not move, some eml-,racing him, others kissing
his hands and tur,ic, and showering upon him
all the blessings of heaven. The General himself
was overcome and with a few words, evidently
uttered the deepest emotion, entered the
palace, ao:nd the thunder of applause of the
liberate'. Mcssinians.
Wri):tle the Neapolitan troops were still in the
city, two proclamations were published, the one
c.'alling upon the citizens who, fearing a bom-
bardment, had abandoned Messina, to return to
their homes; and the second, adorned with the
cross of Savoy, inviting the people to illuminate
their houses in honour of the arrival of the
Dictator. In a few hours shops and cafes, that
had been closed for weeks, flew open as lay magic,
and the proprietor of osterias and cafés vyeing
with each other in offering every kind of refresh-
ments to the Garibaldini, without accepting a
centesimo.
Generals Bixio, Fabrixi, and Cosenz have since
entered with their respective columns, and the
Sicilian army now at Messina is estimated at not
less than 20,000; but sadly in want of artillery
and horses. With this force the Dictator has
already commenced his preparations for crossing
the Strait of Messina, and it is said that 300 boats
with 30 large vessels to protect the same are now
ready to convey the troops to the other side. To
secure this embarkation, two batteries have been
planted at thg point of the Faro that commands
the Channel, and which will be of the greatest
service should the Neapolitans attempt to impede
the passage. Now that the Garibaldini are 4ss
numerous they present to the eye a somew*att
wild aila picturesque appearance in their white,,
blue, re& green, and light brown tunics and, hats,
d la Calabresi.
My information from Naples informs, me that
the greatest efforts are being made on the part of
the present Ministry to inspiv. confidence among
the people, and assure them of the sincerity of
the intentions of the King. A strong camp of
observation has, been formed in Calabria, in order
to await the events at Messina. The Minister of
the Interior has sent a circular to all the authori-
ties of the Kingdom, investing them with
unlimited power for the preservation of public
order. This is a fair sample of the Constitution
of Francis U.
Yesterday the Mori-Nee:to of Genoa published a
despatch from Naples, dated the Ist of August,
which, asserts that the Neapolitan Government
had received on that day from Reggio in Calabria,
the following :—" The 13th regiment of the line
has declared for the revolution, crying Viva Vit..
torio Eninannih
uele ! Vima Garaldi !" The same
print reports that the King has fled to Gaeta,
which is not improbable, but perhaps premature.
Count Litta,
the icing's adjutant, who was the
bearer of a private letter written by the King to
Garibaldi, and said to eantain the conditions of
*he N eapolitan Government, as well as a request
on the part of his Majesty not to extend his
operations to the Neapolitan kingdom, returned
to Turin on the 3rd inst., with the reply which
every one had anticipated—namely, Garibaldi's
Axed resolution not to listen to the insidious
Bourbonic proposals, but to, pursue his course
with the utmost deter min' ation. This morning I
received a letter from Turin, which informs me,
in the most positive terms, that Cavour has de-
clared to, the Neapolitan envoys that, after the
most mature deliberation on the part of the
King's Government, it is impossible, under exist-
ing circumstances, to entertain the proposals for
an alliance with the kinadom of Naples.
The Sardinian loan of 150,000,000 francs has
been effected at 83f. 25c.
Judging tram the present position of affairs,
and the determined energy of Garibaldi, it is
MPIT than probable that before you receive this
a, telegram will announce the landing of the
Sicilian army in Calabria:
I give you the abo'e without at present enter-
ing into the political. consequences that may arise
from the upilloation of Italy under one head.

FURTHER EXCESSES COMMITTED BY

SHOCKING OUTRAGE UPON THEIR

ROME, August 4.

The Irish Volunteers have been committing
new excesses at Spoleto. Every day witnesses
acts of insubordination on the part of this corps.
In the course of a row which took place the other
day, these volunteers did not hesitate to throw

their chaplain into a moat filled with water, at
the risk of drowning him.

Two hundred Irish left Rome a few evenings
ago; they are returning to their own country.
The Papal Government has consented to defray
the expenses of their voyage.
It is averred, by an old military officer at
present in Rome, that General de Lamoriciere
cannot count upon more than 10,000 good
soldiers, among whom are reckoned 3,000
Austrian Volunteers who served in the last
campaign. The most active search continues to
be made by the police of Rome to discover the
members of the secret committee who are endea-
vouring to organise the Italian movement there,
but without success.
It is stated that M. Cavour, as soon as he
heard of the intended descent of the body of Gari-
baldian volunteers, who had been encamped, to
the number of 2,500, on the Island of Ella, on the
Papal territory, immediately despatched tWo war
steamers to the neighbourhood of Orbitello, to
oppose their landing. Rome is tranquil. Some
slight reforms continue to be made in the govern-
ment, of which the only one worth recording is
the deprivation of Mgr. Golia, the delegate of
Velletri.

'The llloniteru• says, Prince William of Baden
has arrived at the Camp of Chalons. His
Highness will be present at the great military
manoeuvres.

General Beaufort has left for Syria with 1,000
men. In an order of the day he reminds the sol-
diers that they are going to avenge offended
humanity in a country where they will find
souvenirs of Godefroy the Crusader, General
Bonaparte, and the first Republic. He concludes
by saying the wishes of the whole of Europe
accompany the expedition.
Three vessels have lest Toulon with troops for
Syria.
