GARISALDIAN VOLUNTEERS FROM IRELAND.—Wei
(NOetheels Whin) have received the following letter from
Lieut. A. B. Patterson, who sailed from Be/fast on Saturday
evesing, en route for Naples. to rejoin his regiment
To the Editor of the Northern Whig.—Sir,—Above
one hundred nen have now enrolled themselves with
nie for the excursion to Italy. A large sum of
money has also been promised is case of need.
For the present I have declined to accept auy money, or to
allow it to be sent to the treasurer, became 1 considered
that many contingencies might, prevent the excursion. •

The amount of this I have left with William Young, Seq.,

so moth that I would look on it as exesediogly imprudent--
I might almost say unprincipled—to bring out these men
without further inquiry. The King of Sardinia. who is ear
at the heed of affairs, has a large army of native Italian.,
and, unlike Oariheldi, be may not wish to have foreiguen
in his service. I. therefore, start alone for Italy tuelay,
to join my regiment. I shall implies if the services of
these volunteers are still required. If they are required,
they shall be brought out at mane ; d not, I prefer to
bear censure from disappointed volunteers in Ireland,
rather than to hear their reproaches if they are die-
appututed in Italy. The fate of the Irish brigade is •
waning not to be deemisetL Yet, it is with the utmost
regret that I leave bellied me those bran men who desire
DO ardently to fight for the cause of liberty. I trust their

the Insdeme and hospitality I have received. I attribute
this to the true muse—to their sympathy with Oarilakii
