THE GARIBALDIAN VOLUNTEERS.

Donis() the progress of General Gartizawn's
brief campaign in the Papal Roman States we were
much pressed by numerous correspondents to re-
ceive offerings of money in support of his enter-
prise. It was with much regret that we felt bound to
decline those requests—a regret which was increased
when the friends of the Temporal Power did not
scruple openly to collect subscriptions in England
to maintain a foreign soldiery in Rome. The time
has come now, however, when an appeal may be
made on behalf of the Garibaldian volunteers, to
which no sound objection can be taken. Many of
the brave Italians who fell in the recent en-
deavour to complete the feedom of their country
have loft widows and children unprovided for, and
hundreds are suffering from wounds and disease.
A Committee, of which the Duke of SUTHERLAND
is Chairman, has been formed to collect and apply
subscriptions in aid of the sick and wounded, and
of the families of those who have been slain. The
Committee, as may be seen by the advertisement,
is composed of gentlemen of various politics, and
as its appeal to the public is made on the broadest
grounds, we cannot doubt that it will meet with
a genial response.—Daily News.

FRENCH SYMPATHY WITH GARIBALDI. —Last
evening • numerously attended meeting of French demo.
orate was held at the Cambridge-hall, Newman-street,
Oxfordetreet. The placard issued by the promoters of
the scheme stated in French that " the sad events which
have just been accomplished in Italy render it our duty
to convoke a meeting to protest against the swill-civilising
policy followed by Bonaparte in the second Roman Gaped'.
Rion ." M. Benoit occupied the chair. The following
letter from M. Louis Blanc was read :—" I regret my
absence from London, and my inability to go there—re-
tained as lamby a rather severe illness. I would very
willingly have been present at such • meeting as you men-
tion. Besides, every democratic organ has already had
occasion to express the reprobation which has been awak-
ened by the second Roman expedition in the heart of every
lover of the revolution and of France.—Fraternal saluta-
timi." A protest, strongly condemning the French Em-
peror, having been read by M. Le-Lubez, Mr. Bradlaugh
addressed the meeting. Signor Rossini, formerly secretary
to General Garibaldi, then asked in Italian for the sym-
pathy of the Frenchmen present, and denounced the King
of Italy and the Emperor Napoleon as having been both in
fault in the matter of Garibaldi's recent failure. A lecture
in favour of the cause of liberty was next delivered by
Citizen Felix Pyat, and the motion brought by AL
Le-Lubez before the Council of the Reform League last
week, condemning the French intervention in Italian
affairs as a massacre disgraceful to humanity, received the
approval of those present.
