If GARIBALDI ask his " honest" Sovereign this
question, what will be the answer I It can only
be, " I am not master of my own house, or even
"of my own heart." And GARIBALDI may rejoin
with Brutus :

LATEST INT ELLIONNON.

GARIBALDI'S PROCLAMATION.

We have received this morning letters and docu-
ments which show more clearly what were the plans
and objects of Garibaldi. The most important
is the proclamation which caused so much excite-
ment in the different cities throughout the Italian
peninsula. It is dated Catania, August 24, and is
as follows :

I shall have glory by this losing day
More than °staving and Marc Antony
By this vile conquest shall attain auto.

Those who honour great causes even more in
defeat than in the hour of triumph will not accuse
the unhappy Colonel who has been rewarded with
promotion for defeating that old commander whom
the Emperor NAPOLEON honours with his deepest
hate. Colonel PALLAVICINO obeyed his orders and
fulfilled his duty like a loyal soldier, and deserves
the pity of his countrymen. Nor can CIALDINI or
LA MARMORA be blamed for the melancholy issue of
a conflict they had not provoked. If indeed for
the one or for the other the glory of GARIBALDI
was de trop, this is not the time to search out a
miserable spite. Let them, too, receive the
praises of their government, and the pity of their
countrymen. The worst retribution their worst ene-
mies can wish them is a decoration, or even a com-
plimentary message from the Tuileries. Wesincerely
hope they may be spared that indignity. As for M. '
Rarrazzi, the difficulty of whose position we are far
from misconceiving, he has added one more, and
perhaps a final, shadow to a public life on which the
clouds of national disaster lay thick already.
His friends assure us that he is neither a dupe
nor an instrument, but a victim of extreme per-
sonal devotedness and of a supple slyness that7is
no match for a colossal MACAIRE. VICTOR EM-
MANUEL himself, we are persuaded, will lament to
his dying hour the victory of Aspromonte.

Italians !—My programme is always the same. So fez as
it depends on me I desire that the plebiscite of the 21st of
October, 1860, may be a reality—that the compact entered
into between the people and the King may receive full exe-
cution. I bow before the majesty of Victor Emmanuel, King
elect of the nation. Bat lam hostile to a ministry which has
nothing Italian but the name—to a ministry which, to
please diplomacy, ordered in May last the arrests and the
prosecutions of Bernice, as it now provokes civil war in the
south to keep in the good graces of the Emperor Napoleon.
Such a ministry cannot, must not, be supported. It deceives
the King ; it compromises him as it did in the pro-
clamation of the 3rd instant, by its obstinate mu-
nicipalism ; it drives the southern provinces to separa-
tion ; it deceives the country. The livery of • foreign
master shall never be a title of honour and esteem for any
ministry of ours.

When I touched the shores of Sicily, that generous island
was on the point of breaking out in despair. The Neapolitan
province', everyone knows, could only be kept down by
an overwhelming military force. Love and good adminis-
tration ought to found the unity of Italy. The mould-
pasta have preferred the opposite way—they have sown
hatred and largely have they reaped it. Madmen ! they wish
—I know it—for civil war, that they may more essay stifle
in blood the future of liberty and immolate coveted
victims upon the altar of despotism. For my
part I will not allow these guilty designs to bo
executed. Let the formula of the plebiscite again
save Italy ; let all local prejudice disappear in the presence
of the great idea of unity. Let all the hearts and minds of
the Italian people combine that we may arrive at the
great endof our resurrection. Let the thought and action
of all patriots be exclusively directed to the liberating en-
terprise of Rome.
The rest later.

Some undone widow sits upon my arm,
And takes away the use on 't.
GARIBALDI undone, and asking only leave to shake
the dust of the land he delivered off his toilworn
feet, will " take away the use " of that royal—too
royal—soldier's arm. Let us pity a King who has
lost such a friend, such a champion, such a servant,
as the captured, wounded, and defeated GARI-
BALDI. Between the KING and the Revolution
there remains now no reconciler. Between the
unity of Italy and the House of SAVOY no loyal
mediator. GARIBALDI is gone, and what remains
behind ? " See," the Mazzinians will say, " what
" becomes of a republican who trusts and serves
" a King." But it is not on General LA MARMORA,
Or M. RATTAZZI, or King VICTOR EMMANUEL,
that the eclipse of this "vile conquest" of
Aspromonte should fall. Let it burn like fire
into the hearts of all Italians, that it was by the
express orders of the Emperor NAPOLEON that
GARIBALDI was attacked ; and that it is to ap-
pease that mysterious benefactor of Italy that
GARIBALDI now lies a shattered prisoner at
Spezzia.
One word from the Emperor NAPOLEON a week
ago bad saved this bloodshed : and that word not
only was not spoken, but from the camp of
Chalons came a missive of despair to Italy. The
Emperor NAPOLEON is directly and personally
responsible for this immense misfortune at Aspro-
monte—not the French nation, nor even the
French army. In this respect, at least, the defeat
of GARIBALDI by Italian troops is fortunate, since
it leaves no flimsy pretext of " military honour"
for the occupation of Rome by a foreign garrison.

To Rome, then, to Rome : Rise, valiant heroes of 1848
and 1849 ! Come, ardent youth of 1359 and 1860! Hasten
to the holy crusade ! We shall be victorious ; for we have
with ua reason, national law, and the universal conscience,

Our revolution has awakened great hopes in the world ;
we must justify them more and more. I am sure the
Italian people will not fail in their duty. May it please
God that our valorous army may be with us also!
If I have done anything for the country, believe my
words. lam resolved to enter Rome a conqueror or to
perish under its walls. But if I die I Kin persuaded that
you will worthily avenge my death, and will finish my
work.

Long lire Italy !—Hail to Victor Emmanuel at the
Capitol ! G. GAIIIBALDL

General surprise has been caused at Turin by
the arrest at Naples of M. Pulski, the distin-
guished Hungarian who has been so long domiciled
in England. M. Pulski was with Garibaldi, but
simply, it appears, in the capacity of correspondent
of an English daily journal.

THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE ITALIAN
CRISIS.

The whole liberal press of France—the Journal
des Debots, the Prase, the &Me, the Temps, and
the Opinion Nationale—of this morning unite in
an emphatic declaration that there is now not the
vestige of an excuse for the continued occu-
pation of Rome by the French army. The
DAats points out that the Meniteur has clearly
asserted that the French remained at Rome
solely in response to insolent threats. The Italian
government has, it says, now silenced those
menaces and so removed the alleged motive. The
Prase thinks that the emotion mused by the event
of Aspromoute ought to console Italy for its heavy
affliction. " Instinctively public opinion every-
where has understood that this doleful victory of
public law over misguided patriotism announces
the end of the occupation of Rome, and all the
journals have expressed in nearly the same terms
this profound and universal conviction. To demand
of Italy more than it has done in the last month is
to ask of it the sacrifice of its life, of its future ;
it is to require the impossible. The government
cannot wish to put such a price on its protection ;
it cannot desire that its friendship should impose
upon the Italians sacrifices that they would scarcely
submit to from a victorious enemy, and after the
greatest disasters."
The Indfpendance Belge observes that the ques-
tion will at once be discussed in the Emperor's
councils, and assumes that it is the occasion of the
extraordinary meeting of ministers at St. Cloud to-
day. The same paper observes that this feat of
arms has entailed an immense responsibility upon
M. Ratter.= "Garibaldi acted against the law, but
most assuredly in accordance with the Italian
sentiment. It is that which constituted his
strength. Garibaldi vanquished, this sentiment
exists none the less, and if all satisfaction
•
Ira refused to it we fear that in a short time it will
demonstrate itself in a way yet more serious than
that which Garibaldi, in the paroxysm of his pa-
triotism, followed. The victory at Aspromonte
will not be complete until in return the Turin
cabinet can offer to Italy the solution of the
Roman question."
The Nord thinks that the moral support of
Russia will be given to the Italian government
iu seeking to obtain by diplomatic means the
evacuation of Rome by the French troops.

PARIS, Sim 1.
The Paria papers publish the following telegram,
dated

" Alexandria, August 31.
"Syria is tranquil, and the Druses pay the
taxes.

"In the Hauran, however, agitation prevails,
and conflicts have taken place betweeu some of the
leading chiefs."

The King of Prussia has gone for a few days,
with a considerable suite, to the seabath of Doberan, in the
Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg.Schwerin. Count Berostorff
accompanies him. liis Majesty is expected back in Berlin
on the 6th.

A letter from Limleufela of the 27th ult. says :
" An entirely unexpected pleasure happened to us to-day.
Prince Louis with bin royal consort (the Princess Alice) ar-
rived here from the princely retreat at Auerbach, where
they have been residing for some time. Their royal high-
nesses, who arrived about noon, visited the ruins of the
castle, and enjoyed for some time the delightful panorama
of scenery around them. The officials and the chief burgo.
master had the honour to receive their royal highnesses, and
the opportunity to admire their condescension and courteous
amiability. The princely pair were conducted by the au-
thorities to the castle and through the garden. As their
royal highnesses left there was e. brilliant show of nags in
the national colours, and a salvo a artillery was fired."

The National Zeitung prints an interesting letter
recounting the exploit' of the London Alpine Club during
the last two weeks of July. The club has, so far, been very
successful this year. Its operations have been mostly con-
fined to the mountains about Grindalwald. Three peaks,
that had never before been trodden by human foot, have
just been ascended by different parties of Englishmen, via,
Jungmujoch, on the 20th of July, by five Englishmen ;
Visacherbore, on the 73rd, by two Englishmen ; and Vies-
cherjoch, on the 30th, by four Englishmen. In addition to
these ascent; a great many mountains which have only been
' amended two or three times were also visited by the same
gentlemen during the same period. Among theme were the
Jungfrau, Eicher, the Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, and several
others equally formidable.

PORTSMOUTH, Amon 31.

FORTIFICATIONS ON PORTSDOWN-HILL. —THE DIS-
PUTED GOVRENNINT VALUATION. —The court appointed to
MOOS the value of the property belonging to Thomas
Thietlethwayte, Esq., of Southwick•park, but which has
been appropriated by her Majesty's government, under the
provisions of the Lands Clauses Consolidated Act, 1848, and
the Defence Act, 1860, for the erection of fortifications
thereupon, for the defence of Portsmouth Dockyard and
Arsenal. fermi .ated its sittings on Friday evening. The
land in question is situate in the parishes of Wymering,
Widley, Southwick, Portcheeter, and Boarhunt. Is
appears that owing to the magnitude of the
interests involved, the government did not fix any specific
value, but left it to a jury to determine the amount of com-
pensation to be paid to Mr. Thistlethwayte. The witnesses
examined by Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., and Mr. J. J. Johnson,
were the following well known estate agents and valuers :
Mr. Charles Pink, Mr. Stine, of Bristol, Mr. E. P.
Squarely, Mr. Giles Westbury, Mr. J. Matthews, Mr.
Driver, Mr. C. Bovill Smith, of Fortes'', Mr. F. Chinnock
(Chinnock and Galaworthy, London), and Mr.
Fuller, of London. The estimates were timed on the value of
the land absolutely taken, the clearance righte to be exer-
cised by the government, theconsequentinl depreciation of the
prorty remaioing to the claimant, and the value of the
timber to be removed. The highest estimate was that of
Mr. C. B. Smith, and amounted in the aggregate to
107,0941. and the lowest that of Mr. &urge, which
amounted to a gross total of 100,803/. After these wit-
nesses had been examined and cram-examined upon various
points of detail, Mr. Lloyd summed up, and Mr. Hawkins,
Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Hansen), replied on the whole
cam on the part of the crown, contending that the estimates
were excessive. He did not, however, call any witnesses,
and the assessor, Mr. Montagu Smith, Q.C., having summed
up, the jury retired to consider their verdict. After two
hours, deliberation the jury awarded to Mr. Thistlethwayte
the sum of 95,2001.

The Black Prince, 40, iron screw frigate, Captain James
F. B. Wainwright, resumed her trials at the measured mile
in Stoke's Bay, yesterday. Since the last trial she has been
docked and her bottom thoroughly cleaned, being found
very foul in places. Additional weights were also placed
upon her valves, so that her speed might be tested, as far
es possible, under the same conditions upon which the ,
Warrior made her official trial. The result was an accele-
ration of s'peed, the mean realised at toll power
being 13 knots and one-third. Under these altered circum-
stances, however, the Black Prince has not proved herself
to be so fast a vessel as the Warrior, which obtained upwards
of 14 knots when she ran the measured mile. The trial
was conducted under the superintendence of Captain Broad-
head, commanding the steam reserve; Mr. Murray, chief
engineer of the dockyard ; Mr. Craddock, master ship-
wright; Mr. Murdock, inspector of machinery afloat ; and
Mr. Ward. The Black Prince will try her speed at half
boiler power to-morrow, if the weather be favourable, and
after swinging for the adjustment of her compasses, will
proooeed to sea for a cruise.
The Psyche, new paddle vessel, Master Commanding J. E.
Pettey, sailed yesterday afternoon for the eastward, to ac-
company the royal squadron to Antwerp
The Rhadamanthus, 4, steam vessel, Master Commander
F. R. Sturdee, arrived yesterday from Plymouth with
supernumeraries, and sailed to-day for Woolwich.

Every arrangement baa been completed, under
the direction of the Commodore Superintendent, for the
embarkation of her Majesty and royal family at this dockyard
to-morrow afternoon. In accordance with Admiralty in-
structions, the work of the several departments will be sus-
pended after 12 o'clock, visitors will be strictly excluded
from the establishment, and the proceedings will be con-
ducted with the utmost pnvacy. A convenient platform,
stage, has been erected for the purposes of the embar-
kation, which will take place in the presence of the Lord
Chamberlain, Viscount Sydney, Lord Lieutenant of Kent,
Major-General Sir Richard Decree, Commandant at Wool-
wich ; and a limited number of military and naval racer;
including Commodore Sir W. F. E. Nicholson, &c. The

The journals which are dedicated to agricultural
and commercial interest► give full reports of the completed
grain harvest in France. In some districts the general re-
sults were below average, but in others abundant crops were
got in. It results on the whole that the harvest of 1.962
may be considered that of an average year—that is to my,
►bout 93,000,000 of hectolitres, or nearly the annual con-
sumption of France. Knowing that we must still expect •
certain amount of distress in the manufacturing districts
this winter, the results of the harvest are most acceptable.
The wine crop is also expected to be more than that of an
average year.

The Gazette de rEtoile of Berlin says it has re-
eeived from Warsaw intelligence that on the 24th of August
an attempt was made against the life of Count Wielopolski,
by mean, of an anonymous poisoned letter. The letter was
written, it is stated, in very small characters, in order that the
count, who is very near-sighted, might be obliged to hold it
near his face to read it, and might thus breathe the poisoned
exhalations from it. The symptoms of poisoning soon mani-
fested themselves, both in the count and in those who ex-
amined the writing !

During the last fortnight only half, or even a
less proportion, of the onlinary number of omnibuses have
run along several of the routes in Berlin. This fact is owing
to ► dangerous disease which has broken out among the
horses, and caused the death of a considerable number. It
is known as the Florentine disease, and when once an
animal is affected by it he seldom recovers. The same
cause has somewhat diminished the number of droschkies
or cabs at the service of the public, and has produced con-
siderable loss to the poor cab drivers.

M. Pierre Alfred Sirven, author of a pamphlet
entitled "Let Us Return to the Gospel," M. Moron, a book.
seller. and M. Noise Cerf, printer, were tried on Tuesday
before the police court of Versailles, for having insulted the
ministers of a religion legally recognised by the French go-
verumeut, and fur having excited hatred and contempt
against the government and among citizens. M. Sirveo has
been sentenced to imprisonment for two months,and to pay
a fine of 500 fr., and the bookseller to pay a fine of :100fr.
The printer was acquitted.

RESIGNATION OF MR. STEUART, M.P. FOR
CAMBRIDGE.

On Friday afternoon last, letters were received
in Cambridge by the &grate of both the liberal and conserve.
tire parties from Mr. Steuart, stating that in consequence
of private matters he had resolved to withdraw from the re-
presentation, and with that view had applied in the
proper
quarter, in order to nudge his seat, In his letter to Mr.
r.
Cockerell (clerk of the peace for the borough, and agent for
the liberals) Mr. Steuart says that be writes to that gentle-
man. as well u Mr. Barlow (agent for the conservatives), in a
spirit of fairness, in order to give neither side an
advantage. Mr. Steuart adds that his regret at
the necessity of this step is materially lessened
by the feeling he has that under no cir-
cumstances could he continue to represent the views, or in
voting fulfil the, perhaps, just expectations of many of bis
warmest friends in a political sense. lie most thoroughly
and sincerely disapproves of the extreme line on church
matters taken up by so many of the conservative party. He
considers in this view the influence of Mr. Disraeli most
pernicious, and the prevailing high church opinions to which
the bulk and action of the conservative party are so much
committed utterly at variance with pound policy. In short,
when the Pope and his adherents consider the most de-
sirable object the overthrow of the present govern.
meet, it is, in his conscientious new, the duty
of a sound protestant conservative to support it.
He adds that he oeed hardly say, therefore, that he
should be glad to hear of a gentleman of political
views of the stamp of Colonel Adair or Mr. Twisleton being
his successor. Colonel Adair was formerly member for
Cambridge, and both he and Mr. Twisleton contested the
seat with Mr. Steuart in the liberal interest, so that Mr.
Steuart's recommendation of these gentlemen has created no
small surprise amongst a his late supporters. Mr. Steuart
was first retun.ed for Cambridge in April, 1857, and again
in 1859. On the first occasion he headed Colonel Adair by
6 votes only, and a scrutiny washed on behalf of the gallant
colonel, which, however, left Mr. Steuart in possession of
the seat. Mr. Steuart at various times expressed himself as
a liberal comervative, opposed to Mayoooth and the ballot,
but in favour of gradual reform, education on • broad re-
ligious basis, and an adjustment of the religious question. The
retiring member is a deputy lieutenant of Banffshire. On
Saturday evening • meeting of the more influential membees
of the various sections of the liberal party was held at the
Hoop hotel. Mr. Patrick Beale* occupied the chair, and it
was then cordially agreed that all the differences lately
existing, and to which the recent defeat of the party were
attributed, should be merged in the common cause, and re. '
solutions were unanimously passed to the effect that Colonel ,
Adair should be invited to come forward. A reply in the
affirmative from Mr. Adele (who is at present in Soot.
land) is sanfidently anticipated. Mr. Adair, who is
au advanced liberal, is colonel of the East Suffolk
Artillery, and has his seat at Miami Hall, Norfolk.
Mr. Bellow, agent for the comet vatives, annouoces that the
battle will be fought on their side with every confidence of
victory, and that a fitting candidate will be announced in
due time, and adds that the only difficulty on the eon-
'creative side is not the want of a candidate, but of selection
amongst the aspirants. Mr. Beresford Hope has for some
I time been looked upon as the favoured of the conservatives
on the withdrawal of Mr. Steuart, Red the latter gentle-
man's retirement when Mr. Hope his Stoke-upon-Trent
upon his hands is looked upon as ill-timed. Rumour
DOW makes free with the name of Mr. Vansittart,
of Trinity College. Be the candidates whom they may,
there will be plenty of time for preparation, as the writ
cannot be issued until the assemble of parliament, clause 4
of the " Election of Members during the Hecate Act, 1858,"
declaring that the clause giving authority to Mr. Speaker
to issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out
• new writ shall not apply to vacancies caused by the ac-
ceptance by members of the stewardship of the Chiltern
Hundreds, or any crown manor. The state of the register
and other circumstances leave but little doubt of the succms
of the liberals, and the manner of Mr. Steuart's retirement
is looked upon ma severe blow to the conservatives.

Archbishop Hughes, on his first public appear-
ance since his return from Europe, preached • political
&mon in St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, to the
largest congregation that ever assembled within the walls
of that edifice—a sermon which, if it had been delivered
anywhere else than in the pulpit, would have been called a
speech, in which he urged the vigorous prosecution of the
war, and counselled the government to draught not only
the 300,000 men already to be called out, but an additional
300,000 the week after, and to continue draughting until
*very man, rich or poor, should be compelled to take his
share in the contest. He urged this on the plea of mercy,
that the war might be brought more speedily to a close, and
added :—" If the country and the government are not
mainaized by every sacrifice that is necessary to maintain
them the United States will become another Poland, to be
divided—the strife will multiply across every border.
