LONDON, sAruzuur, OCT. 6.

GARIBALDI his owe more confounded his ene-
mies. While chicken-hearted friends were count-
in ; and roc,ainting his forces, so soon numbered,
and wondering what could be done for him, and
coviouA dLtr-ztors more than hinted that his head
had lost its cunning, he his repeated one of his
old surprises, and—if, as seems reasonable, we
may credit the news from Genoa and Turin—
won a great victory. In this morning's
telegram he appears in his own dimensions,
like himself. The last letters left him in
front of an enemy superior in numbers, discipline,
appointments, material—everything but the inspi-

ration of a good cause. The special oorresponderita
appear to have been right in supposing that in these
circumstances he would content himself for the
time with strengthening his position, and
wait in order to profit by the mistakes of an
enemy to whom he had left the initiative.
The telegram. show that he had not to wait long.
In one the Neapolitans are spoken of as re-
pulsed from Caserta, which was lately GAM-
sAun's headquarters ; and in another the patriot
army is said to be victorious, and pursuing along
the whole line, extending, as the letter of our
correspond3nt written two days before the en-
gagement shows, from Avers. through Caserta to
Lucenti. Two thousand prisoners are said to
have been made by GARIBALDI. These are the
indication, of a great battle, which may perhaps
nut be tactically decisive, but which must hasten the
issue of the oontlict.

In politics as in war the vaticinations of "old
" parties " have been falsified. Only • day or
two ago a moral collision between GARIBALDI 1
and the Piedmontese was described in letters from I
Naples as inevitable. Those who so judged bad
outward appearances in their favour ; but they
did not know the man. GARIBALDI identifies him-
self completely with the cause of Italy as repre-
sented by King Vi roc EMIL•SULL. When
Fenn takes the last fortress of the Pore., Gear-
SAL DI tells his troops, " Ancona is in our posses-
" sion," and bids them prepare to welcome their
victlrious brethren. At the same time the civil
government is remodelled in harmony with the
policy of annexation. %IMAM'S capricious and
arbitrary away is replaced by a regular adminis-
tration in accordance with the wishes of sober-
minded patriots. These events take off very
much of the interest that was expected to attach
to the proceedings of the Parliament assembled in
extraordinary session at Turin. Instead of meeting
to depose a Dictator, or even to arbitrate between
irreconcilable pretensions, it appears likely that its
members will disperse for want of something to
do. Tho general policy unfolded in the long
statement which Count CA VOUR read to the mem-
bers is that which is familiar alike to GARIBALDI,
Cardinal Awrozinu, Count RECRBIERO, and every-
body else in Europe who can borrow • news-
paper. As to the questions mom especially dis-
cussed in the ministerial paper, whatever may
be the dictate of sentiment, there can only be
one practical opinion wherever the circumstances
of Italy are calmly and seriously taken into con-
sideration. The first duty of the statesmen of
Italy is to make their country strong, and to set all
on a single cast would be one of the greatest
climes they could commit. Count CAVOUIt rightly
claims for the Kr to's Government the credit of
daring enterprises, which will leave a deep impres-
sion in the history of the national regeneration,
but if those enterprises had not been planned
with admirable regard to time and opportunity,
they would now be remembered only with disgust.
The cause of Venice certainly has nothing to lose,
but everything to gain, by the determination of the
Kirto's Government not now voluntarily to carry
war beyond the Mincio and the Po. There is no
knowing what the Austrian Emesson may do.
Surrolioded b•• soldiers, he may disregard alike the
counsel of his Ministers, the friendly advice of dis-
hitt res;ed emials, the artrtissomeut of a power-
ful neighbour, the promises made through his
anitiassisilii.s, and tile awful gulf in his own finances;
and then the ardent Italians may be satisfied.
Perhaps this contingency is not so improbable
as some think. At Vienna it is believed that the
Eneer.na designs to wage offensive war ; and the
levy of 83,000 troops, just as the Committee
of the Reicharath has shown that the monarchy
can only be saved by a great reduction of the
military expenditure, suggests that the Sove-
reign may be persuaded to try and repair the
credit of the empire by military success. But
however this may be, in any prospect the interest
of Italy is the same. She must knit up her
sinews and cuusolid.ste the elements of her power,
regulate her finance, and organise and inure
her army, and all as soon as possible.
Before long .:ither Venice will be united with Italy
or Italy bee. hie a mere geographical expression.
But the change will be immensely facilitated if the
Italian people, instead of lending themselves
to illusions, unite in sober estimate of their
situation, and in steady exertions worthy of their
noble aim. There is no surrender of a single
principle either as to Venice or rvnue in the Sar-
dinian prt.;,-ramme, and the past policy of that flo-
vernur:rt shows that it will pursue its truly
to the end.
