" Bentham, Delater, Nov. 6.
•• My dear &eastern,— I proNee to subscribe • small MUD
to the fund for the purchase of arms to be pieced at the dis-
port of Garibaldi. If all those who wish well to the oars
of independence in Italy would, for the same purpose, sub-
scribe sack small sume se they can spare without incetnesai-
✓oe, the aggregate amount of their contributions would be
large, and they would materially omelet in supplying the
Italians with the mean of making themselves respected.
Arms, organisation, and discipline constitute the reel
strength of • people, In proportion to that remark is the
respect it obtains. Upon that foundation alone the lade-
pendenee of every country moat really rest. I admit, with
deep regret, that the Italians have, as yet, ride but little
nee of the opportunity which the events of the war have
placed before them. They have confined themselves eery
much to rej4iciege in anticipation of the independesse
which they have neither achieved nor deserved. They have
been waiting to receive from the heeds of other that
which they should disdain to owe to any bends but their own.
Acting emir the directions of men beefily selected, and
unequal to the crioie in which they were called forth to
govern, they are even now, I few, in Crated Italy, Maul-
fleiently prepared airiest the threatened invasion of the two
most contemptible of armies—those of Naples sad ot the
Pope. I will still hope for better things. I will hope that, •
stimulated by the insults to Italy which an conveyed in the'
demands France is shout to rare in the raper, they will
rise lo vindicate thei sight to chore their own government,
sad dutch the arms by which alone it can be secured
There is in Italy on man who has at oar • bled to
direct, • hand to execute, and a heart which tells him what
Is right. That men ia Garibaldi. Let the Bailer fellow
wire he leads, and th will at least rosin the keener
which has been so long unknown to them as a pie*. He
beer measures to observe with France. If he should ob-
tala anDer he will not consent to hold the prefaces he
liberates as • fir 0 the French empire. He well not lend
himself to the carrying out of the Ides of the First Napoleon,
that Frazee should be surrounded by week dependent states.
If the Italians should obtain no change but that of substi-
tuting the influence of France for that of Austria, they will
only have changed the outward form of their humiliation,
and have laid the foundations of perpetual disunion and of
errantly recurring war in their country. I believe that
the creation of • great, united, end independent state in
Italy (and to be independent it most be great) would lend
more than any other measure which (maid be adopted to
mere the peace of Central Europe. Incapable of enter-
taining projects of cosquest beyond the Alpo, which it
would be evidently impossible to realise, such • Elate
would have • 410111•0/1 interest with Austria in
clueing that .twins barrier agree the foreigner ; sad
Austria, relieved from all apprehecelon on the side of Italy,
would, in area with Germany, present on the Rhine
sad on the Viands • concentrated strength which no
ambition would assall, brews none could hope to orweeme.
This was the opinion I famed at the coignes of Vienne.
I *spewed hin the Howe of Commons in 1816. I have
adhered to It through life. The unexpected eyrie in the
1 early part of Ibis year appeared at one time to place this
great result almost within our grasp. I will still rust that
such high bops have not been held out to Europe only fee
• moment, to be then dashed away and to deceive. I
will still trust that the Italians may prove them-
selves not unworthy of their fortune, and may
be mindful of other and higher traditions than
those to which Franca has directed their regards.
At hest, let as, sympathising with them in circum-
stances which were once our own, place in their hands the
arms by which aloe*, under Providence, their redemption
me be achieved. In the will of Providence must rat their
saner, but with arms in their kande they may at heat, in-
ellemil of being unresistingly transferred, like cattle, by
',Ripon*, fall nobly Ilk& soldiers in the field, and acquire
that riertoes name which has been sr coded by the concur-
rence traf all ages to those who perish in the attempt to
liberate their country. It would give me much eatisfeetion
to learn that yea approve the step I propose to take, sad
that, although yea may not epee with use is all particulars,
pen agree with me In the main is the views I have ex-
penned.—!ruse, m 7 der Brougham', year meet sincerely,
