MIN, WS 11
It has become almost painful for me to write to
you on the present occasion. Hitherto I have been
only too proud and glad when I had to dwell,
firstly, upon the brilliant proofs of Italian political
g.sd sense given by the peoples of Central Italy
sorter tlw gallant exploits of 1859 ; and then again
upon the enthusiasm of the volunteers who fol-
lowed Garibaldi to Sicily ; but the unwarlike in-
il.,leuce of the Sicilians, and Garibaldi's want of
politivil sagacity—these things have begun to cool
nay admiration for them. Garibaldi would still
have been a her, as he is, and has always
been, even had the troops of the King
of Naples fought energetically him,
but the fad is that in Sicily they fought against
badly,
and ou the mainland of the Peninsula did out fight
at all, wheu they found themselves surrounded by
the Insurgent Calabriana. Hence Garibaldi was
able to emer Naples alone, escorted merely by the
pr.of;:ie of his mural power. If on that day he had
not merely nominally but effectually handed over
the kingdom of Naples to the men who put their
cough-ewe in King Victor Emmanuel sod his
r•veniiiieut, and if be bad then retired until the
favourable moment should arrive for him again to
p:ace himself at the bead of another great enter-
prise, the world would have doubly admired
tutu, the Two Skihes would by this time have been
reorganised, no phase Anarchy would have been
pissed through, discord would nut have been
fomented, and, as an instant* ti what losses would
hare been spared to the state, a hundred millions
of francs would not have been wasted through the
unlawful ut their uniforms, horses, arnia,and
equipments, by the Neapolitan soldiers.

But the fact now is, that t Garibakli's predates-
tioua, letters, and public observations, have pro-
duced a lamentable effect. There is Alexandre
Dunens, too—the man of all others in the world
who has least of positive learning—be has been
amide the director of the museums . There is Mor-
chili, a Maszinian, of nu
_good repute—be
has been made pro-dictator at l'alermo, where all
the public acts are headed with the name of
King Victor Emmanuel Bernard, Cl arras, 3faz-
MM. Baal, Balked, and a hundred republicans
there they are, collected at Naples,
scdowed to meet in council, and allowed to attack
freelj in the public press all that the Italian isto-
e..a. hist+, forming nine-tenths of the people, bold
most dear ; whilst other wen, out entertaining re-
publicsu notions, are not allowed to speak with
freedom. This is an insupportable state of things,
and it must lead to digest:nue consequences. The
Generals 11 and Boletus* and Colonel Car-
rano have alreadyJ quitted Naples—their native
country—• sneered tune, and returned to serve
under the flag of our King. Many volunteers, too,
are returning to their homes. But Garibaldi
pay, no heed toall the being persuaded that every-
thing is going on well, and that all the Italians
want to wake their felicity complete is to see
Cseour withdraw from the ministry. Garibaldi is •
a bon wemor, but has uo political taleut, and still
has i.e any aptitude for government.
U.oint Caviiur, with a sehi-abuegation that does
lOm movie honour, was disposed to resign his port-
fo!io, though certain of a parliamentary majority,
pr aided this personal sacrifice on his part would
reestablish wowed in Italy ; but now that we see
ifaple% invaded by a swarm of republicans and
socials* who take care to let it be known that the
differrum Is not a question of persons but of prin-
ciples, he has been urged by some of the most
iniusential men, and by Rattan® himself, who was
suilswal to be his parliamentary rival, nut to re-
lam. In a few days the parliament will doubtless
cotairui the judicious counsel. The dtgurty of the
crown and .4 the parliament requires that Cavogr
should retain . Bice.

Military preparations are going en wit► wonder-
ful alacrity. The celebrated inventor of our now
artillery•, I;etwral Cevalli, has invented s new de-
scription of light guns, a whets, battery of which
hr lire sent I. the camp, but I du net knew whe-
ther it was employed ur nut in the battle of Castel-
er whether it will prove su serviceable as
*spas:tell.
