ADDRESS OF GARIBALDI.

The Mosiniente contains the following address of-
Garibaldi to the volunteers :
YOU marched against the enemy aimed' without being
organised. Clothed God knows how, and armed still worse,
you still marolled forward with an enthusiasm inspired by
the holiest of causes ; and, with the spirit of old seasoned
soldiers, you answered the expectations of the King and
the country by repulsing the enemy in ten sanguinary
combats. The noble victims who strew your glorious
path bear 'witness to the severity of these battles. Chimed,
Castellini, Lombardi, and Bottini, and hundreds besides of
our bravest are no more. It will be difficult to fill up
these gaps in our ranks. Your wounded and mutilated
comrades are still suffering in thousands, and yet I have
not abound amongst you the least indication of disown-
ragement, or a single word of complaint. The imperfect
deliverance of your brethren still in fetters has been
your only regret ; I have heard with emotion but the
cry of war in your ranks. During the truce you
have been patient and full of zeal. You have been
trained to the practice of arms, which was necessary for so
many of your younger comrades. I have with pride heard
your regrets at a truce which prevented you from punn-
ing the enemy. And when at the expiration of that truce
you received orders to engage in new combats I found you
animated with that kind of joy with which one goes forth to
• feast. God bless you. Italy may be proud of you, and if
during the months which you will still employ in the exer-
cise of arms the foreigner shall not cease to put forward
excessive demands, then, by the side of our brave brethren
of the army (I say so under the inspiration of the national
conscience) we shall strike off the last links which dis-
honour this great but unfortunate n►tion.

of the Belgian dynasty.

The Cuba has arrived out.

ROME.

A letter from Rome in the Lag:lg says :

On the question of abandoning Rome or remaining there,
the Pope has irrevocably taken his determination. He is
firmly decided not to quit the capital. According to him,
his place should always be at Rome ; he has defended the
Papacy there by all the means in his power ; he has pro-
tested against all the encroachments—all the acts of vio-
lence committed against the church ; he bas made an appeal
to all the bishops of the catholic world to obtain assist-
ance. Nothing that has tended to diminish the autho-
rity of the church can be laid at his door. " I
am resolved to die," he adds, "at the foot of
St. Peter's chair, in which providence has placed me, were
it even the will of heaven that I should be without force,
without authority, and almost in the hands of Victor Em-
manuel." The Pope will, therefore, remain at Rome, and
thence will turn his eyes towards France, his only support
in the events by which he believes himself threatened.
His relations with the French government have already
been perceptibly modified. Pius IX. was often in the
habit of speaking bitterly amongst his intimate
friends of the Emperor of the French, he used also
very frequently to indulge in sharp language on
the subject of French policy. He now corrects all this ;
his expressions are becoming kindly ; he pities more than
he condemns. He shows himself, above all, satisfied with
the autograph letter of the French Emperor, which reached
him last week, and which he has communicated to his
ministers. In that communication the Emperor makes
an appeal to the heart of the Holy Father; his
Majesty implores Pius IX. to march in concert with
him, and come to his aid to surmount the immense
difiloultioa with which both biome end the Papacy are
encompassed. The terms of this letter, a certain impress o:
melancholy to be noticed in it, and the demand of suppoi t
made by so powerful a monarch as the French Emperor to
an old and .disarmed man, have made a lively impression
on the Pope. " The Emperor," said his Holiness to his
Council, "is in presence of events which he cannot con-
trol ; his intentions are good ; our support ought not to
be wanting to him. We shall pray that it may be effica-
cious ; we shall pray also for him, for France, and for the
church." The relations between the Papacy and the court
of the Tuileries are therefore assuming an intimacy which
they never had before.

THE STATE OF SPAIN.

The Avenir, in speaking of Spain, says

It would be difficult to form en ides of the actual situa-
tion of that country. Never, since the times of the In-
quiaitiori and Ferdinand VII., has there been seen such
terror prevailing or such silence. The Liberal despotism of
O'Donnell has led to the absolute one of Narvaez, to whom
Queen Isabella has confided the safety of the last crown
of the last Bourbon. All the liberal journals have been
suppressed. The few which survive are contented to
borrow from the Correspondenn a, a little semi-official
journal, not political news, but the most insignificant
facts. There are no longer either journals or meetings.
The public places of amusement are closed at 10 o'clock.
It is the death of 17,000,000 of individuals. Marshal Ear.
veer, who sees Europe occupied with the gravest nneations,
believes that pnblio attention will not trouble itself with
his conduct. Every day at Madrid and throughout the
Peninsula, especially at Barcelona and Seville, arrests are
made sad people shot. When night arrives, patrols of
the civic guard, carbine in band, perambulate the street'.
All persons that can leave Spain are hastening to do so.
