GARIBALDI AND THB MAYOR OP BRISTOL

Yesterday the Right Worshipful the Mayor of
Bristol, John Hare. Esq., received a communication at the
hands of his secretary, Veccbi, from General Garibaldi. It
will be remembered that recently two public meetings were
held at Bristol, the first at the Guildhall, and the other at
the great public room. Broadmead, for the curpoee of ex-
pressing sympathy with the distinguished hero of Capreva.
The mayor presided over both meetings, and wu directed
in his capacity as chairman to forward copies of the reso-
lutions arrived at to the Right. Hon. Earl Russell and the
General. This he did, and accompanied that to Garibaldi
with some kind remarks, espreuive of the sympathetic
feeling of the English people, and their desire to behold •
free and united Italy. The subjoined is the answer which
his worship received :

Spezzia, Oct. 23.
Honourable Sir,—The General thanks you for the cordial
letter in which you announce to him the two meetings
held in your city of Bristol in honour of him, through which
is shown the sympathy of the noble people whom you, as
chief magistrate, represent, with the cause which interests
us AIL From the time of the civil wars, our forefathers have
striven to acquire the name of citizens of a free country by
the sword, by letters, and by martyrdom. We have elides-
'oared to unite the sc aimed members of dislocated Italy ;
we mean to have Venice, but now we want Rome, in order to
eatablish the government iu the capital, and to dismiss from
the Eternal City imposture end usurpation. We do not ask
for unreasonable things ; let the priest keep to his church,
that religion may be honoured ; let the foreigner return to
his home, that we may be left free to our destiny. We
shall always be grateful to your great people, who first
understood the justice of our cause, and defended it through
the prase, in parliament, and in public meetings ; and many
of your noble sons with their blood, ander the walls of
Capua. In the name of my General, permit me, sir, to
offer our most cordial thanks to you, to Sir Edward
Strachey, Sir Henry Hoare. the Very Rev. the Dean of
Bristol, to Mr. Darby Griffith, Professor Herapath, and
all those citizens of Bristol who sympathised with our beau-
tiful and unfortunate Italy. 1 am happy to inform
you that we yesterday safely removed our illus-
trious invalid from Varignano to Spezzia. He
reclined on • bed, made by Mr. John Alderman, of
London, which was forwarded here through the Post-office,
like an affectionate letter, from • noble English heart. The
General is at this moment reposing comfortably upon it.
During the voyage I thanked the donor mentally, and the
General assured me he did the same. I have more good
news to tell you. This morning the General moved his
wounded foot, whilst it 11/11e being dressed, without pain.
I hope, therefore, that Dr. Partridge was right when he said
that the hall was not in the foot, and that there was no
serious injury to the hope. If the ball had still been there,
and the ankle fractured, he could not, I think, have moved
the foot without psi's. On the 29th instant there is to be •
consultation of Italian and foreign surgical celebrities on the
state of the patient, whom everybody loves, and desires to
see restored to health.—l have the honour to be, sir, pouts
respectfully, C. AUGUSTO VECCHL
