A letter from Berlin says :—" The government
has decided that Schiller's fe,tival at Berlin shall
only be celebrated within doors; it has permitted no
democatrations in the streets, no procession with
torches, or the like, being apprehensive that it might
be too difficult to maintain order, either because con-
trary demonstrations might lead to conflicts, or in
short because a public festival of this kind would ill
accord with the illness of the King. The painful
impression produced here by this prohibition will be,
pettier, partially mitigated by the news that the
Pince Regent will himself lay the fir.t stone of a
monument in Schiller's houour on the 10th of No-
vember next."

Ocr. -3,

Since yesterday the weather has been so stormy,
and the road which runs from this city to La Catto-
lica, at a short d'stince horn the coast, is so bad,
that I was obliged to poxycnis my projected journey
till to-morrow. I hope, liowsver, that the twenty-four
hours have not been lost, for they have given me the
opportunity of sending you some particulars about
Garibaldes new staff. Loring the campaigns of
Varese and Stelvio most of Garibald.'s officers, espe-
cially the staff, were old, we:l-tried friends, who had
borne arms with him in nerica, or who had
fought by his side in Lombardy and Rome in 1848-
1849. Since the terrible chieftain has been en-
trusted with the cur.:mend of the Tuscan
army, he has of course been obliged to
have Tuscan staff officers attached to his person.
Some of the old ones are, however, still near him,
such as his private secretary and two orderly officers.
It is, indeed, astonishing what a magnetic influence
his grave and yet gentle countenance, and his musical
voice, exercise over those who are about bim. Like
the great warriors of old, Garibaldi is generally
simple and mild in his manners, but when the hour
for severity comes—when he appears among his
men with the brim of his cap pulled down over his
stern brows—there is no officer or soldier who would
not rather face the greatest danger than hear the
sound of his angry voice. His manners are of such
a plain and simple character that when he is seen
I among his officers nobody would believe that he is
one of the greatest men of our times.

Garibaldi was at dinner when I went to see him
yesterday about two o'clock. Having sent my name
and errand to him, I was admitted into his dining-
room without difficulty. He was sitting at the table
surrounded by six officer. of the staff, and was par-
taking of a modest dinner, which was served by a
common soldier, who wore the uniform of his former
legion of the Cacciutori dells dlpi. After the meal
was over, I had a long talk with one of those officers,
who told me that the great leader never drinks
wine, sad never eats more than two sorts of meat at
his dinner. At eight o'clock in the evening he goes
to bed, and regularly gets up at two o'clock in the
morning. He then reads for two hours some
militaty book, and at four o'clock he despatches his
private oorrespondence. At eight o'clock he has his
breakfast, after which he goes into his office to
transact military business. Garibaldi is never seen
in public, except on duty. Even when he wants to
get the fresh air of the sea he rides out of the town,
taking the shortest end quickest way which leads to
the marina. Loaded with stars and medals by more
than one monarch, he never wears any decoration or
distinction whatever, and when he is obliged to wear
his uniform he does it with such nonchalance that
you would scarcely believe that he is the hero of so
many exploits of almost fabulous daring.
Oa Thursday last the town council of Rimini sent
to Garibaldi the diploma of Patrizio, or, in other
words, made him and his descendants members of
the nobility of the town. The Patriziato Riminese is
an institution of the middle ages, which was in
later times confirmed when Rimini passed by sale
from the Malatesta family to the Venetian.. It is
merely a title, but to have it is considered almost a
princely honour, for within the memory of man it
hail only been granted to monarchs and popes.
Garibaldi hes not accepted it, as he told the depu-
tation of the town council, on account of his personal
merit, but as an homage to the noble cause he serves.
The desertion of the Swiss soldiers, which, as I
told you yesterday, is increasing every day, has
decided General Garibaldi to address to them
a proclamation, which I succeeded in getting
before its publication. Thousands of copies are to
be struck off to-morrow, and in two or three
days they will be sent to Pesaro and
distributed amongst the foreign mercenaries of his
Holiness. This proc.amation, which has been drawn
up in the French language, runs es follows :

Noble Sous of Helve".a,—lt ie nlt the first time that your
brothers have shed their blood in beludf of the Italian close;
so, unhappily, it is sot the first time you have been sten to
fight for the oppromora of Italy. Ten years ago our young
volunteers were taught by you bow to use a musket and to
march to battle.

At Vioenze you formed the select legions of our army, and
you then added new and well-deeerved lustre to the pro-
verbial bravery of the SWila warrior..
Believe me, the helium are decided to maintain the most
complete order, and to keep strictly to the rules generally
adopted in war. They have proved it during recent events•
There bee not been an example of en Austrian prisoner or
wounded man not being religiously respected by us, whilst
our enemies have at all times shot our prisoners and mas-
sacred our unfortunate wounded.

Yes! we will not lay wide the roles of common warfare;
but if, Instead of obtaining the accompli.heuent of our rights,
u we hope, our enemies unite thi meek es ag+in to bring us
back to a state of slavery—if the priest. think to rule us as
they did for so many centuries put, 1 cannot then say that a
war of extermination, which will be our lost resource, will
not occur.

We know that pt: have been deceived, and that you are
still kept under the dishonoured d.g of the prints by cabs
illusions. We alto know that the Italian troops which ere
now at your side, intend of fighting against the sacred cattle
of their country, will turn their arms against yen in the day
of battle. Well, then, we hope that the gallant descendant.
of Metal's heroes will are. r stain their hatils with the blood
of a people who are defending the same cause which
was defended by William Toll end your forefathers
—the cause of the twirl-ender:ice of the ccuntry.
Gallant Swine inetwal of marching against us, we
expect you to jo'n oar ranks. We shall be telly proud to
have each fellow-warrtors as you are in the forthcoming
betties for liberty. Italy, then full of gratitude, will not fail
to reward you, and your mums shall be added to the swell
ones of her liberators.

Rimini, 21st of October, 18.59.

G. GAILTII

This proclamation will not fail to produce a great
and salutary impression upon the soldiers to whom
it is addressed.
