REPLY OF GENERAL KLAPKA.

The following is the proclamation of Garibaldi
to the Hungarians, referred to in the reply of
General Klapka, a summary of which we gave
yesterday :
Hungarians ! What is Hungary doing?—That noble
nation which the victorious Oltomae once saw sud-
denly rise, completely armed, to defend the civilisa-
tion of Europe—that nation before which the
proud Emperors of Hapsburg bowed down as sup-
pliants demanding aid and pity, does it sleep now and for
ever! Hungarian brethren, the revolution is at your
frontier. Open your eyes and on the walls of Belgrade
you will see floating the flag of liberty—lend an
attentive ear, and you will hear the musketry of the
Seryiaes, who, erect and armed for the defence of their
rights, give battle to the abhorred Turk. And you, what
are you doing? You, • strong people, who have
not had the misfortune to which Italy was at one
time subject, of being divided amongst seven
tyrants—you, a people of warriors, what are you now wait-
ing for? Have you broken 3 our swords? Have you for-
gotten your martyrs? Have you abjured your oaths of ven-
geance ? Or would you trust in the artful promises of your
oppressors? Would you place faith in those who counsel
you to accept the insidious offers of Austria, who now ap-
pears disposed to accord to you your rights, but who is
already preparing to. betray you, and to regain by force
or by fraud what she gives to you against her will?
Would you reckon on the good faith and loy►lty of
a robber and traitor government, which, after the disaster
of Vilagoe, despoiled an entire nation of its wealth; or would
you listen to those who, leas imprudent but equally culpable,
flatter you with • foolish hope of accomplishineyour freedom
by legal expedients, hitherto shown to be insufficient to
redeem • people ; or, worse still, who exhort you to
await foreign succour ? A ferocious despotism oppresses you.
You also have Austria, like • rock on your chest, stopping
your breath—Austria whose empire you have more than
once saved—Austria who, as a reward for your having lent
her many times the shield of your powerful breasts,
has violated yonr laws, destroyed yourststutea, endeavoured
to abolish your language, peopled with your best citizens
the land of the exile, filled with 'scaffolds. all your towns ?
Do you lack faith in yourselves—in your strength,
in your valonr? 1)o not forget that in 1848 you had
only to follow boldly your triumphal route even toVienna in
order to break down for ever the old blood-stained throne
of the Hapsburgs ? The times are now more propitious.
Now Russia will not lend • succouring band to Austria to
annihilate your efforts. She has been repaid by too
much ingratitude. Nor will Prussia, the ancient
rival of the empire, defend it against our attacks. Woe to
Hungary—woe to all oppressed peoples, if you obey these
fallacious and cowardly suggestions, if you believe possible
any other relations between Austria and you than hatred
and w►r. 014 brethren ! do not let so auspicious a moment
escape. The Serviette are fighting for liberty—for the
emancipation of a whole rare oppressed and degraded.
And you, too, want liberty—you, also, oppressed and de-
graded, have the right—more than the right—the duty, of
rising once more to the rank which you have merited by
your glories, your virtues, and the services which you have
rendered to civilisation. Tee Servians and the Montenegrins
fight against despotism. Courage! You are strong if you dare
to venture. Listen not to those who counsel patience in
an ignominious servitude ; but listen to the voice of your
conscience, which says to you " Arise." Imitate Sent& and
Montenegro ; imitate those who are ready to light up in
other parts of Europe the flame of revolution. Italy,
which loves you as brethren, and has sworn to repay you
for the blood which your heroes have shed for her on twenty
fields of tattle ; Italy, which gratefully honours and blesses
the holy name of Ttickery, who died for her, calls on you
to participate in her new battles and her new
victories over despotism. She invites you to them
in the name of the holy fraternity of the peoples—in the
name of the common welfare. Sons of Arped, will you
betray your brothers? Will you fail at the rendezvous
of the nations, wheel they shall array themselves in
battle against despotism ? Assuredly liberty aban-
doned by you would be subjected to a mime peril ;
but your renown would at the same time be for ever lost.
The Martyrs of Arad would curse you as degenerate sons.
Oh, I know you ;I do not doubt you. Hungary, too long
deceived by perfidious friends, will awake at the cry of
liberty which now comes to her from the other side of
the Danube, and to-morrow will reach her from Italy.
And when the solemn hour of the people shall sound, I shall
meet you, I am sure, as invincible phalanxes on the field
where the deathly duel will be fought between liberty and
tyranny, barbarism and civilisation.—Your sincere brother,
Palermo, July 26. G. GARIBALDL
The following, according to the Ihelia, is the
reply of General Klapka :

General,—You have just addressed to Hungary •
call to arms. Your voice might have found an echo
amongst my fellow•citizens, if you had raised that
war-ery at the bead of your volunteers, wilted
to the royal troops to march by common consent against the 1
dynasty of Hapsburg. Now it cannot be regarded ; for it
is no longer the voice of Italy, but that of a man who is
labouring to destroy his own glory, and wbo is compro-
mising his name and his for tune in the ad chances of civil
war. In order to urge the Hungarians to insurrection
you cite to them the example of the Serviette, of the Greeks,
and of the Montenegrins. That example is in fact a lesson
for Hungary ; but it tells her to wait for a more propitious
moment, if the would not expose herself to the same din's-
pointnienta and to the tame disasters. The Ser-
i VigllA. the Greeks, and the Mootenegrins believed
'that they ought to respond to an appeal like
that which you have just iuldressed to us. They were
to be supported in their movement. I even believe that
they expected you. What • tine opportunity you lost of con-
tinuing your great role of Liberator which you had com.
menced with so much 6-lat. The fate of all these
peoples deceived in their hopes does not reconcile us to
oppression, but teaches us to husband oar forces for more
favourable circumstance,.

This prudence, so patriotic, displeases you, and you talk
to us of our duties. That gives us a right to remind you of
your own. Have you not misconceived them, general, in
separating yourself as you have done from the legal
authorities consecrated by the vote of the people, and
raising against them the standard of revolt? Halt, while
there is yet time, in this fatal path. Cease to labour for
Austria, and for all the European reactious, while trying to
hasten too much the enfranchisement of Italy. Scatter from
her all these menaces of civil war which alarm all good citizens.
You owe this to your past—you owe it to your name
—and you owe it to the hopes which you have created
amongst the nations who stiffer and whom you can-
not deceive without betraying yourself. As for Hun-
gary, she wishes, she ought, to act, and she his
shown already what she can do. But to test this new
effort, while listening to the voice of her friends she will
take above all the counsel of her conscience. She would be
happy if on the day of the struggle she could give her band
to Italy, united with her against Austria. Cod grant that
you may be able to enact again on that day the part which
your happy fortune seemed to reserve for you in contem-
porary events. Accept, general, the assurance of my de-
voted sentiments. GEORGE ICLAPKA.
