ITALY.

FLORENCE, Bur. 24.

Garibaldi was arrested at Aminelungs, near
Siena, during the night of the 23rd, together with
several of his friends. He was conveyed by special
train through the territory of Florence to the
fortress of Alessandria, in Piedmont. Two cars
full of soldiers of the line, and a third full of cara-
bineers, acted as escort to the General. A great
number of arrests have been made. The volun-
teers caught at the frontier have been enjoined
by government to return home. Those who re-
' fused to do so quietly have been compelled to do
so by force. A great number of cases of arms
have fallen into the hands of the government.
Every means has been taken to suppress the insur-
rectionary movement, which had long been prepar-
ing, and was now about to burst forth in the Roman
territory with a view to the possession of Rome. It
has been a moment of fearful suspense, of anxiety,
and of varied impulse throughout Italy. The
party of action, who are, and ever have been,
furious against the convention, joined in the cry of
" Rome or death !" " Rome, the capital of Italy !"
Meetings have been held in Bologna, Genoa,
Milan, and Turin on the anniversary of the revolu-
tion at Turin (22nd September), when Rome was
declared to belong to Italy as an inalienable posses_
Mon, and a large party in this country was agi-
tated by the hope of the early acquisition of the
coveted prize. Meantime, Italian soldiers, to the
number of nearly 45,000 men, were kept guarding
the frontiers, and costing the state treasury, impo-
veriahed as it is, some 900,000 fr. a day, as double
rations and double pay are allowed to the
soldiers whilst on active service. General
Garibaldi had, meantime, made his intentions
known to all Italy and the world at large
with the utmost plainness ; on the other hand,
he had been told so explicitly by government
(backed by hi* friends, many of whom be-
I sought him to desist from the rash movement),
that there existed a determination on its part to
respect the "convention," and to guard the Roman
frontier from attack, that it was hoped ho would
listen to caution. His determination, however, it
would seem, was not to be shaken. His speeches
became more and more fiery as the moment for
• action approached. Lately on leaving Florence,
on his way to Arezzo, and at the latter
city, he spoke words of fire. The whole
country, which has otherwise great reason
I for discontent and consternation, was in a hub-
bub of expectatton and suspense. This evening,
' towards sunset, the news suddenly fell upon
' Florence that the " idol " of the people—Garibaldi
—had been arrested by order of the government ;
that he had been sent to prison at Alessandria.
The intelligence fell with the effect of a bombshell.
Surprise was followed by resentment. As the
" Ave " bell boomed in the Piazza della Sig-
nori*, people with anxious and dissatisfied
countenances met together, vociferating loudly
and angrily against Rattazzi, and disarmed
the National Guard mounted at the palace
entrance. Thence they went with cries of
" Viva Garibaldi ! " and " Morte a Rattazzi ! "
turbulently crossed the bridge and made their
way to the Piazza di Santo Spirito, where the
Minister lives. There they yelled " Morte a
Rattazzi, gendarme Francese !" and pelted the
!windows with stones, at the same time howling
execration in every key. When they found that
Rattazti was not within, but in another quarter of
the city, at the Palazzo Riccardi (the seat of the
Home Ministry), the crowd went thither with the
same vociferous threats. On their way to the
Palazzo arms were taken from • gunsmith's shop.
Meantime, the cavalry and infantry had been
ordered out. The former was set to patrol over
the streets ; a strong detachment of rifles and
Lancers was placed in front of the Riccardi Palace,
and set out in file on the Piazza del Duomo ; when
Isuddenly a horse, at full gallop, was let loose
amongst them, with intent to break their
lines. Some confusion ensued, and many arrests
were made. The cavalry continued to patrol
the streets till near one in the morning, notwith-
standing a constant downpour of rain and a
' continuous thunderstorm. Great anxiety is felt
concerning the manner in which this deplor-
able event will be regarded throughout the
rest of Italy. Garibaldi, it must be remem-
bered, is a popular " idol," and the storm of
popular anger may possibly awaken in other cities
throughout the realm. All is at present confusion
and agitation. The deputies of the left bench have
already addressed a protest to government on the
score of " illegality," of arbitrarily arresting an
Italian deputy (for such Garibaldi actually is),
whilst he bad not made himself guilty of any
flagrant act of aggression, nor was caught in what
may be called open opposition to the law.

senior of the °mauler 'body delivered the following speech:

" Monsiegneur,—We are glad to eongratisle.te your
'Highness on your return to this city after a too prolonged
absence. If Egypt has been deprived of the presence of
I its well-beloved Prince, it will be amply recompensed for
I it. The reception your Highness has met with amongst
the princes and peoples whom you have visited has ow-
-1 tainly convinced you of the interest Europe takes in this
I country. Yoe can reelcon, Monseigneur, on our co-opera-
tion in all that concerns the wishes and the prosperity of
Egypt."
To this the Vioeroy replied:
" Messieurs,—l am very glad to return amongst you.. I
shall devote my attention to promoting the greatness and
prosperity of Egypt. The reception I have met with in
Europe assures me of its support in this endeavour. I
reckon on the co-operation of all the European represents-
' fives in my efforts to develop the progress of happiness of
the country."
