ITALY.

The following is an extract from a private
letter :

VARIONANO, OCT. 19.
Now, I will not tell you that the general is worse.
No ; be eata with appetite, and be shiers and smiles.
Bat the wound is st►tiooary, and shows no sign of
healing. Bertani came here ; *audios returned. They
think of transporting the patient to the Hospital of the
Grande Albergo di Milano, and there all the medical
odetuities of Italy will meet to decide on whet is to he
done.

It is thought the rascally projectile is still in the foot,
impeding the cure ; and, should the case be desperate,
they think of amputation. Perhaps all the great
heads put together may hit on some other plan.
The bare idea breaks my heart. To see my general with
one leg, and such an eventspringing (roman Italian musket,
made ready by Cialdioi, directed by the ministers, and as-
suredly blessed by the King, is so great a horror, so pro-
digious • crime, that it gives me a frenzy. I can under-
stand that signal services, exceeding the ordinary standard,
ma► be ill-rewarded. So it was of Columbus, Galileo, and
the long sad hate of martyrs of human thought and generous
deeds ; bit for the love of my race, since Garibaldi was des-
tined to receive the fatal premium of exalted virtue, I
would he bad been stricken by the ball of the foreigner
beneath the gates of the Eternal City, bathing her
with his blood. What • solemn protest against the
foreign usurpation; against the infamy of the
tonsured tyrants ; against the falsehood which
maintains them there. I wish some English writers
would come here and see the victims outraged by their pla-
titudes, sod admire the serenity which they do not wot of.
Tkeir pens would refuse to scribble such ineoleoces, and
they would lament over their sins of ink-and-paper publica-
tions. What the hero desires they would also desire: the real
unity of Italy—independence alike of France and Austria—
the certain happiness of our people—a national and a
better government. Would they see without exas-
peration a French garrison in London ?—an Aus-
trian garrison in Edinburgh ?—and a college of car-
dinals in Dublin'—and with these • ferocious Stuart
organising daily-paid assassins to murder and rob peaceful
citizens and traveller', or dwellers in their peaceful country
houses.

I see no future. Nothing but a great darkness all round
me. I shudder as I witness the grief of the great heart
that lies palpitating in the next room. It seems to me the
groan of all humanity in my ears. We have a King who
never thinks ; ministers sunk in the vanity of their own
inaptitude ; an army habituated to the shedding of brother's
blood ; a timid parliament ; a population led by priests and
steeped,in the vices of slavery, oppressed by 29,01.10genia.rmes,
and so depressed by misery they know not which side to tun.
Oh, the miserable condition into which we are plunged by
these our self-styled statesmen !
Salute all our friends.

MURDEROUS ATTACEON ONE OF HER MAJESTY'S
KCIP6IIB.—On Friday afternoon last five privates of the 2nd
Battalion of Coldstream Guards, sow on garrison duty at '
Windsor Castle, committed a murderous attack on one of
the royal keepers in Windsor Great Park, named Mortlake,
whose life is despaired of. It appears that the cause of '1
this savage attack arose from the keeper having the day
previous cautioned several soldiers against breaking down
the trees in getting chestnuts. Them men, it would 'I
appear, returned on the following day with other:
comrades, five altogether. for the deliberate purpose of
committing the assault on the unfortunate keeper, whom '
they found in the park between the Double•gates and
Bishopegate. They said, "You are the fellow we wait,"
and immediately knocked him down, and whilst on the
ground kicked him in the most savage manner about the
bead and body, bis skull being fractured, and his front teeth
kicked out. He was removed to his home at Old Windsor,
where be received prompt surgical attention, but now lien
in a most dangerous state. laforenstiou was immediately
given to the commanding officer at the barracks, who too
the most active measures in endeavouring to trace out the
offenders by confining the whole of the battalion to barracks
and sending oat pickets in every direction. Two of the
five have already been apprehended.
