ADDRESS BY GENERAL GARIBALDI TO

THE PEOPLE OF ENOLLND.

We have received the two following addresses
through General Garibaldi's Italian secretary :
Penquite-park, Cornwall, 26th April, 1864.

me with counties advisees, to which my heart would have

however, to be allowed to fulfil in part my debt by this
special farewell of affection and gratitude to all.

plans in the world, sad proclaiming "I am risen." For
this reason I believe I can reveal the thought of Italy to
England, as I believe I may bold up England as as example

Yet I math% hops--I say it with grief—that Italy will be
able to accomplish her destiny without again eacountering
the direful proof of arms. England's voice is listened to

of Europe, bet let her be folly persuaded that she can
never solve the Italian question or that of the other
nationalities by say metrinace of commeneations and
