GARIBALDI'S MOVERINTS.-011 the arrival of the
news of peace, we are told, General Garibaldi assembled
his soldier', and, after having calmed their excitement
by a noble address, he requested them to renew the
oath of fidelity to the King, which they did without
opposition. Another story is, that Garibaldi wished to
resign his post in the Sardinian army, of which he is •
General, and, that Victor Emmanuel refused to accept
his resignation. "A Sardinian General cannot resign,"
said he. Later news of the Italian hero infonns us
that "lie is now contemplating a move from the Alps
to the Apennines—from Northern to Central Italy.
There will be a gathering of about 50,000 volunteers in
Romagna. Garibaldi's corps joined to that of Memo-
cape will form an army capable of securing the indepen-
dence of Central Italy, at least against any Roman or
Neapolitan—any merely Italian force."
AN ENGLISH GiniaALDlMO.—Among a hundred
Italians you find, perhaps, five or six adventurers of all
other countries, French. Swiss, and Germans,
Spaniards, Americium, of both continents, and even
a Chinese and an Englishman. The latter I found at
Turin, lathe table d'hete de la Grande Bretagne, where
he announced. to me his intention to have sport with
the Alpine chanters, and asked for direction as to
Garibabli's whereabouts. He is • man of near 60. of a
tall and colossal frame, imperfectly acquainted with the
language, and ignorant of most Italian matters. He
professes, I am told, the utmost indifference to the
cause be serves. Between him and his fellow-oombat-
ants there is hardly any intercourse. Garibaldi allowed
him to follow his camp. He makes war at his own
expense, and encamps apart from the corps. He receives
no orders, asks for no information as to the General's
movements. He is indefatigable in the inareh—intrepid
in the fight. Ganbaldi numbers 50, or perhaps 100 of
the best marksmen in Europe, but the Englishman is
the deadliest shot. In the latest encounter on the
Stelvio the Tyrolese never succeeded in winging a single
Giurihaldino, while five of their number: dropped
mortallrwounded from the ramparts, from which they
scarcely wentured to peep; two of the number fell under
the undying Mini of the Englishman. He is never
wanting • at the hear of strife; he takes his place in
some hidden nook, all alone, aloof trow the rest,

actuated on the ground, calm and impassionate, taking
leisurely aim, like a sportsman awaiting the lion or the
wild boar at the brook. Ile has a doulle-barrelh4 rifle,
a sabre, but no bayonet, and takes no part in the WI&
when the Garibaldini come to close quarters. Some
people told him he must I* very strongly devoted to the
Italian cause to owns out in arms in its support at his
time of life. He answered, with a yawn, he was very
fond of shooting, and mad take part either on one side
or the other. There was an eccentric Frenchman, also
an aged man, who joined Garibaldi at Canto at the
outset ; but he had • fancy lie would go to war in his
gig; and, somehow, his gig broke down on the first
rush with the Austrians at Casale, and the French
amateur was never again heard of.
The iron crown of the old Lombard Kings is not to go
with the kingdom. The Vienna journals declare that it
is to be placed in the collection of crown jewels of the
empire at Vienna.
