THE PRINCE OP WALES IN AMERICA.

The following is an =tract from the private letter
of an English gentleman travelling in America :

"Caruso, Sur. 22.

rpirit
terian,

" The Prince has now got into theStatee. I
arrived at Detroit a few bound after him, and the
opinions expressed by Americans upon the subject
of the royal visit are worth noticing. I think the
great majority of people here disapprove of the
fuss made about the royal youth at Detroit. They
completely understand and appreeiate the Queen's
determination that her son should travel in the
States as a private gentleman. Every man—some
of thein workpeople—is anxious that the Prince,
who will some day be King of England, should form
a jut judgment of the American people. Above
all thiags, they are bent upon convincing him
that they are not the barbarians they are often sup-
posed to be. Again and again I have heard them
rejoice that no demonstrations have been made,
and that the masses have behaved in the streets of
Chicago with perfect decorum. I myself sew the
Prince in a low open barouche and four berme pass
up Michigan avenue with no other protection than
ten ur twelve policemen in common clothes with
baton. The truth is, the Americans feel very bit-
terly the injustice of English travellers and
tourists. Like these who estimate the English
morality by the Newgate Calendar, English writers,
who should have know' better, have put together
all the eccentric stories of American life—at which
the Americana laugh j
ust as heartily as foreigners '
—and call such collections pictures of American
manners. Now, it is the earnest desire of the
great majority of Americans to nee the Prince's
visit as a means of correcting these false impres-
sions. If the Prince himself is somewhat young,
they say at all events those about him have sagacity
enough to see through their outward peculiarities,
and to find that the Americans are much more
civilised and refined than people iu England
commonly suppose. I confess I hope for the same
result. It LS really impossible to estimate the
injury done to England by those who have written
travels in this country. These lucubration have
unfortunately tended to keep up that irritation
which began at the time of the declaaation of in-
dependence, and bas been continued ever since.
It seems utterly impossible for an Englishman to
realise the fact—that living fact hero—that all men
are politically equal. The poorest man considers
himself equal to the richest and the most powerful.
This may seem a dangerous doctrine, but the practi-
cal consequence is simply this, that you must speak
to every man as yourequah and mustavoid assuming
in manner any 'dad of superiority. Act in this
manner, and you will find every person as civil as
possible. Englishmen, however, as I myself have
.vitneseed, constantly and very naturally assume
that there is political inequality. They order
about the waiters—" boys," as they are called—at
hotels as if they had some natural right to dictate
to them. This does not suit the American ideas,
and the result is ill-nature, and sometimes inso-
lence. Now, if those who accompany the Prince can
only discern the peculiar characteristic of this
country—the obstinate conviction that all men are
politically equal, and the determination to act upon
that conviction—they will find no difficulty in ob-
. bathing all the respect they desire. I only wish that
some of those who were so vehement in their epee-
sition to the Reform Bill of last aeon were here
to test by facts the truth of these opinions.
" It needs not many days in this country to ascer-
tain that any comparison between this country and
England is utterly impracticable. The circum-
stances of the countrya are entirely different. The
people to be go are entirely different But
even if a oomparisoa were possible it is certain that
amongst the WNW ahem property and life are quite
as enure here ea in the old country, or rather quite
as moire as it would be poseilaleto make them under
any form of government, considering the circum-
stance of the cam I have conversed with Ameri-
sane and Saglishmas settled in this country, and
they assure me that property is quite as safe bare
as in England ; and that, indeed, the enormous
material prosperity of the West would be impossible
if tide security were not attained. But of this at
some future time.
"I return to Canada. I confess I went to Caned'
with a stroll impression in favour of the people
there. En ishnien who had visited the province
describede delight with which they Grossed to
the British side of Niagara and found themselves
spin at boss* as it were. I confess Ido not agree
with them. It seems to me mare prejudice to place
the Canadians above the Americans. In the lint
place they are a in• re dependency of a great country,
and they Show tin t feeling of deli-Weans in every
possible way. lu Canada it is a sort of 'high life
below stairs. It is Brighton or Bath slicing London.

the various demosaimatkes live peasohly
and I have no doubt that if in Canada the clergy,
instead of exciting their people, would exhort
them to live in peace with their fellow-citizens,
religions feuds would be unknown. Again, I
think I have observed much less self-respect amongst
the common people of Canada than in the
States. In Canada you may see a horde
of Irish cabmen standing round a hotel
door like cringing barbarians looking after a
fare, but in the States you never see anything of
the sort. There the cabman has certain goods
which you have not, and if you want them you
must make your arrangement with him just as you
do with your banker or your attorney. The States'
cabman has too much self-respect to cringe to you.
This seems absurd to an Enghsman, who is accus-
tomed to see people admit their inferiority ; but
nevertheless it is a fact worthy to be noted.

" But the most important fact of all is, that the
Canadians look upon themselves as inferior to
the English. Judging from the history of the past,
they cannot bring themselves to believe that they
will ever be treated with perfect jostles They
cannot persuade themselves that a Canadian will
ever substantially obtain the game privileges as
Ingliehmen in the old country. Unfortunately this
suspicion is not quite unfounded, and the conduct
of colonial ministers in the appointment of governors-
' general tends to confirm it. lithe present system
is to be continued, it is clear that no ordi-
nary man is required as governor-general. The',
present man is by no means popular, and
if half the stories about his manner of
doing business are correct, his unpopularity is not
surprising. Unfortunately, the rumour is preva-
lent that Lord Mulgrave is about to roomed him.
I need not say that any such appointment would
do more to estrange Canada than almost any other
set. Lord Stanley, Lord Taunton, or Sir John
Lawrence, would be much more likely to succeed.
But the probability is that no governor-general,
however able, can succeed ; the colony is too
far advanced. It requires to feel completely its
own responsibility, and for that purpose the
sooner our American possessions are formed into
one viceroyalty the better. It might be neoemary
for some years to grant the protection of otn• fleet
by some sort of treaty. But beyond that I think
that all connexion with England ought to cease.
In five years some of the younger princes would be
quite old enough to assume the reins of power ;
and, judging from the opinions I have heard, I
have no doubt that a permanent viceroy would do
much to give dignity and importance to the Cana-
than people, and would have an excellent effect
upon the United States. On the one hand, it would
place the rulers of Canada under • greater
sense of responsibility ; on the other hand, it would
dissipate those miran notions about hereditary
monarchy and aristocracy which are unfortunately
so common in the United Slates."

THEitkITLE O 1 TEE VOLTVREO.

After the bit defeat in the morning (writes a
correspondent), the Neapolitans returned with new
foroes to carry St. Angelo. Not only did ell his
field guns scatter death in every direction, but
likewise three batteries from the opposite bank and
the mortars of the formica began to open • tremen-
dous fire, under the protection of which the Neap°-
, litana advanced, between 10 and 11 a.m. They
carried once more the position, of tee barricade,
and occupied even the first houses leading up
towards St. Angelo. Medici and Colonel Span-
garo, besides Garibaldi, did everything to steady
the wavering troop', ',who; seeing themselves so
much outnumbered, and attacked by such formi-
dable artillery, began to think the day lost. For
hours the fight lasted, a continual advance or re-
treat on both sides, but still the Neapolitans could
not pin murk ground. This was, perhaps, the
most strongly contested spot on the whole
line, and only in the afternoon the advantage
began to show on the side of Garibaldi.
The Neapolitans had again to clear the
road, but they still held the barricade and the
woods on both sides of it. With great trouble two
skirmishing lines were formed, and sent to threaten
their left and right, and then a hundred men were
collected behind the first house, and these made a
rush at the cry of " Viva Garibaldi " and carried
the position about 2 p.m., which was kept, as well
as the guns which were in it.
_ . . .

Garibaldi returned towards Santa Maria and
brought on the rest of the Brigade Eber to com-
plete the moo.= which he had gained. Scarcely
half a mile from Santa Maria an open space lies
on the left of the road, through which a detached
barrack is visible. Here the Neapolitans had
placed some guns, while their infantry lined the
woods. As soon as they saw the column they
opened krs. Garibaldi, not heeding, still advanced,
until he came to the first body. Here he gave
order, to the Hungarian Legion and the Swiss Com-
paq to advance and drive them away. The two
threw themselves into the woods, and, scarcely
using their firearms, advanced with the
bayonet, driving the Neapolitans before them
like sheep. A cavalry charge of several
Neapolitan squadrons followed, and did a good
deal of harni to the little body of brave fellows, but
did not hinder them from following np their sum=
and pushing forward to the very edge of the Campo
before Capus. Garibaldi still advanced with the
few remaining companies in the direction of St.
Angelo, sending off one after another to continue
the work of the Hungarians. Medici had in the
meantime also pushed in advance, and by 4 p.m.
the Neapolitans were flying in all directions, and
our man bad occupied the edge of the wood at half
a mile from Caput, where they remained all night,
and are AUL
It was as complete a defeat as ever an army
suffered.

WARLIKE PREPARATIONS IN AUSTRIA.
The /Frankfort Journal says that a movement of
troops is preceedidg' on a vast scale in
Austria, but with as little noise as possible so as
not to excite suspicion. Heavy trains full of
soldiers and war materials are forwarded by night
and pane through the Capital without stopping.
The Universal Gazette says that 20,000 men have
been forwarded to Italy since the invasion of the
Marches by Piedmont, and that orders have been
sent to the directors of the Southern Railway to
make preparations for the transport of 15,000 per
day during the week. An officer of the imperial
navy has been placed in the lighthouse of Trieste
it order to take cognisance of all vessels in
right, and orders, it is stated, have been issued
to the commander on the seaboard to fire upon
any suspicious vessels, even though carrying the
Sardinian flag, which should approach too near
the coast.
A Vienna letter of tho 4th says :—" To-day,
being the Emperor's fête, there was a general ex-
pectation that the official journal would puldieli the
liberal conceals/one announced some time ago.
Nothing of the kind having appeared, great dis-
appointment has been manifested by the public.
It must be admitted, however, that ministers have
scarcely had time to come to • well-matured de-
cision on the propositions made by the Council of
the Empire, and that the ordinances so ardeettlyde-
eared nay appear at any moment."

HIINGLRY.

" The accounts which reach us from Hungary,"
says the Lcipsic Gaunt, " are still very serious.
The public mind is that country is much agitated,
and this feeling extends every day more and more
to the provinces which formerly constituted part of
Hungary. The collection of tho taxes begins
to be attended with serious difficulties, and has
already given rise to several regrettable incidents.
The arrests to which it was found necessary to
have recourse at Temeswar are of a very serious
character, as twenty persons among them belong to
the higher classes of society. Incendiary prods-

PALERMO, Oor. 6_(via CAouliu).

they will proceed to the nomination of deputies.
Another decree will indicate the day upon which
the deputies will assemble at Palermo.

TEE SARDINIAN

TURIN, Oar. 8.
General Lemoricibre has arrived at Genoa, and is
lodged in the Royal Palace.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputise,
Signet Ferrari spoke against the laws of annexa-
tion. He said—" No difference exists between
Upper and Lower Italy. Everybody wishes Italy
to be free. This idea animates both Garibaldi and
King Victor Emmanuel ; the difference between
them exists in its realisation. In delivering Upper
Italy, Piedmont imposed upon that country her
. . .

laws, her capital, and her administration. Pied-
mont has made Uppes Italy Pialmontese. Accord-
ing to historical tradition and the opinion of Balbo
and Gioberti, the capital, laws, and administration
of Naples are superior to those of Sardinia. The
Two Skilless cannot be unconditionally annexed to

Piedmont. To enforce their immediate annexation
would be to act with ingratitude towards Garibaldi,
who desires to defer this measure. Neither is there
any urgent necessity for it, as anarchy does not
exist in the Two Sicilies."

Upon the question of confidence in the ministry
Signor Ferrari said that he was opposed to Count
Cavour, whom he stated to be unequal to the
situation, because he would not attack Rome and
Venice. Signor Ferrari then expressed his appre-
hensions that France would in time absorb Italy.
He concluded by eulogising at length the project of
an Italian confederation, which he declared could
alone save Italy.

Signor Boggio remarked upon the present policy
of Sardinia, and said—" Thanks to the patnotiam
of Charles Albert and Victor Emmanuel, the initia-
tive in favour of Italian unity was taken by Sar-
dinia, but the national sentiment has germinated in
our country by the influence of the exiles, the elite
of whom have oome to disseminate it throughout
the Italian territory."
The rise in Sardinian Relates continues.
