LA FARINA'S STATEMENT.

In the Piccolo Corriere of the 18th, La Farina
publishes his account of the differences between
General Garibaldi and himself. The following are
the principal passages :
The causes of my differences with General Garibaldi, slime
it is desired that I should speak at any wet, were as
follows :—I believed, and still believe, that the only
salvation for Sicily is immediate annexation to the
constitutional kingdom of Victor Emmanuel, the meet
ardent wish of all the Sicilians, already manifested
by the chiefs of more than 300 municipal bodies.
General Garibaldi believed, and perhaps still be.
heves, that the annexation should be postponed tall
the liberation of all Italy, including Venetia and Rome,
has been effected. I believed, and still believe, that it was
a great act of imprudence to confide • share of authority
and of the public forces to ministers like Crispi, unpopular
(I do not know whether rightly or wrongly) with the great
majority of the ;Sicilians ; to ministers like Raffselle,
Bourboniat in 1847 republican in 1848, deputy of Filangieri
and member of the Bourbon municipal government in
1849 ; or to a notorious Madinian like Mario or to
abhorred Bourbeniiu like Scordato and Miceli, who,
after betraying the revolution of 1848, have fought against
the insurgents in 1880 ; or, lastly, to men who Dave been
made infamies through all Europe as the inventors of most
atrocious torments against the liberals. General Garibaldi
believed, and still believes, that the union of such elements
ciaa be:useful to the national cause.
It grieved me that every method was tried of discrediting
in the eyes of the public the Piedinontese government and
statesmen to whom Italy owes so much ; it grieved me that
the men most devoted to the national cause, and who have
done and suffered the most in the Sicilian revolution, and
all the most able and intelligent men should be excluded
from the administration of public affairs ; that all
administrative order should be diereganied ' • that all
the tribunals should be clueed ; that there should be no force
to protect public security ; that men of no reputation or of
Lad reputation should (with three or four honourable ex-
ceptions) be chosen governors of districts, with full powers ;
that furious opposition should be made to the institution of
a national guard, the only palladium of order in a country
where there are neither magistrate., nor gensdarmes, nor
police; it
.grieved rue that the country, while most averse
to Merriman notions, should be made the nest of all the
must incorrigible Maraiuilues in Italy; it grieved me, in
film, that while the press was intimidated to such a degree
that • journalist w.. 1 threatened with death for
having written • short article against ]facia,
r,
Precursore was permitted to appear—a journal edited
by the former editors of the Italia e Populo, which in one
of its numbers declared that the Pieilmoutese government
wished for the annexation of Sicily, in order that it
might hand her over to the Bourbons of Naples, and thus
gain their alliance.
These are the reasons of my discontent, which I math-
fisted frankly and without bitterness to General Garibaldi,
who during the first days of my stay in Sicily was always
courteous and kind to me, notwithstanding accusations of
my being Count Cavour's friend, of my having voted fur the
Savoy and Nis treaty, and having thwarted his enterprise
in Central Italy. That inc views coincide with the publio
opinion of Sicily is shown Lv the feet of the Crispi ministry
having had to give way bs;fore a popular demonstration,
although the Dictator had declared that it had his entire
confidence. It is further 'hewn clearly, by the names of
the new ministry, Natoli, La Loggia, lYAita, La Porte, and
Lana, all honest awl respectable men, inclined to imme-
diate annexation to a free and constitutional government.
Here Signor LaFarina cites a letter that appeared
in the Motel /trauma on the 7th, imputing too
great toleration and want of promptness to Gari-
baldi, and concluding as follows :
Farina andoill his fellow-intriguers ought to be put in
a place of security—a step which would dissuade Lorene°
Valerio from having recourse to intrigue,' in hicily on be-
half of his new friend and master, Cavour.
La Farina goes on :
On the night of the 7th the advice of the correspondent of
of the Unita Italians was faithfully followed. At eleven
o'clock my house was entered, sentinels were placed at the
staircases and doors, some friends who were with me were
prevented from going out, all communication Will strictly
prevented; about half an hour's time was given me,
during which I was kept out of sight, and then I was
escorted to the frigate Maria Adelaide ; and thus
by dictatorial decree I have been forced to leave
that Sicily from which the Bourbons drove me
three times, where I have three • times risked my
head for the cause of liberty and national unity, and where
now I have not even been permitted to embrace my mother,
who for 12 years bad not seen her son. The following is
the way in which the official Journal of Palermo describes
nip expulsion : "On Saturday, the 7th inst., by special
order of the Dictator, were banished from our Wand
Signora Giuseppe La Farina, Giaeumo Griscelli, and Pas-
qua'. Totti. Signora Griscelli and Totti, Coreicane by
birth, are of those who have contrived to connect them-
selves with all the police authorities of the Continent. The
three expelled persons were in Palermo conspiring against
the actual order of things. The government, which is
vigilant to the public tranquillity, and should not be the least
disturbed, could not any longer tolerate the presence among
us of cacti individuals, who bad come here with culpable
intentions."
The government of the Bourbons wished to take away
my life ; that of General Garibaldi goes further. Let Italy
judge such unworthy conduct. But it is well that Italy
should know that, when the news of my arrest and my
creels,. was knows, the ministry, who bad all been in
ignorance of it, gave in their resignation ; that other antho-
nties followed their example ' • that the director of the
Giornale Officiale was dismiesed fur not publishing those
calumnious words, and that public indignation was so ex-
cited as to become dangerous. This new proof of affection
and esteem given me by my fellow-cuuutrymen is an addi-
tional reason why, beyond these words, which I have felt
it my duty, however reluctantly, to write, I should no
longer occupy the public with the outrage which has been
dune me.

THE ORANGE OTTRAGIE AT DESEXMACASH—The
correspondent of the Freeman's Jorfrisat, writing from
Lunen, Monday night, says :—" The excitement caused
by the sanguinary ()cop entrap atDerrymacaab still
continues. It has created a great deal of angry feeling and
distrust, and consequent thereon a number of alarming re-
porta are already al irond in this very Orange district. The more
the entire conduct of the Orange party on thel2th is inquired
into, the more clearly is their murderous purpose at Derry-
Trucial' exposed. A. few stones having been throw%
chiefly by women, en Orange party had their gins and
pistols at band, and fired with the dreadful effect already
made known. Murphy's came is hopeless ;he may linger
some days. Nine of the Orange party are in Armagh gad,
and warrants are being issued for seven more. who are to be
arrested to-night. Should any of the wounded catholic die,
it is feared there will be bad work, as the catholic generally
are greatly exasperated. On the night of the 12th, about
2,000 Orangemen, armed, went to cross the Bann, about seven
miles from this, to carry on the war ; but the ferry Wa re-
moved in time. Thirty additional policemen artived here
to-lay ; eight men have been sent to Derrym amth. The
investigation into the outrage will be resumed on Wed-
nesd
Suiay. tors SrRIKE or MINERE.—It is stated that
the workmen in the ernOoyineut of the mining com-
pany at the Copper Mines of Bonnuthon, amounting
to several hundred persons, have struck for higher
wages. Fearing injury might result to the property of
the meniany, who have Tay expensive moctiinery land
meek valuable etah'riel in the neighbourhood, • pail
of the reserve constabulary force in the Phonic-part,
Dublin, was .despatched on Monday to Bonmabon, to
reinforce the local police.
