LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 24.

THERF. is good reason to believe the telegram
which states that the Garibaldians have entered
l'Apus, the reasons for a retrograde movement of
the garrison of that place being obvious and impe-
rative. The Bourbon army is threatened now
from the east even more than from the south.
hernia, where CIALDINI attacked them last week,
and where Views Eul[lllll7= wee last heard of,
is nearer to Gaeta than Naples, and as the
Sardinian General must have advanced much
nearer the coast since then, the brigades at
Capua must either fall back on Gaeta or be cut
off. The Kisu has now crossed the Apennines,
and will per through Venafro and Caput., enter-
ing Naples on Saturday or Sunday next. It will
be wen that Faascis 11. has sent an agent to the
Warsaw Conference, on which the Pore WOO
appeals to build some hopes. These hopes should
to very confident, since hie HOLINIM has chosen
the present moment to make a more serious de-
monstration than he has yet essayed against the
Government of France. The Pore has recalled
his Nuncio from Paris. This extreme measure
has been taken in consequence of the refusal of
the Eurer.im to saint in maintaining him perma-
nently in the government of the territory beyond
Bien, Viterbo, and Cornet*. Perhaps the Pore may
find it is not always good to be off with
the old love before you are on with the
new. French action in the Roman States is,
however, still highly equivocal. The telegraph
reports that the French occupation is to be ex-
tended at the expense of the newly-acquired na-
tional liberty. Under the protection of French
bayonets the detested rule of the priests is to be

re-established in Montalto and Orvieto. This is
not fair to the inhabitants of these towns, who had
a right to expect that the Eerratos would recognise
in their case the application of those principles of
popular sovereignty on which his own throne
rests ; nor is it intelligible to Europe, which, in
acquiescing in the principle of non-intervention,
cannot except France from its operation.

Ta■ paper on the Peace of Europe signed Q.
(; aILIIALDI, which appeared in OUT columns yes-
terday, would, no doubt, come upon many readers
with the force of a dramatic surprise. That the
Liberator of Italy, conducting at this moment the
most arduous and difficult military enterprise of
modern times, should have leisure to think of any-
thing beyond the national cause, or even the pre-
sent campaign, is wonderful enough. But that
the simple soldier, whose life has been spent in the
camp and the field, should turn from the absorbing
thoughts of war to meditate schemes of universal
peace, may be to some more astonishing still. To
those, however, who have studied GAZIZALDea
character there will be nothing new or surprising
in this. It is in perfect harmony with the
man, and illustrates afresh the breadth of
his intellect, the purity of his heart,
the depth and nobleness of his whole nature.
He is incapable of a selfish thought or low pur-
pose. The whole energies of a rarely gifted and
rarely balanced n►ture are devoted to a single ob-
ject—that of benefiting his fellow-men in the most
direct manner and on the widest scale. He seeks
the good of others with the seine passionate ardour,
cool sagacity, and invincible steadfastness that
most men pursue their own. But he is at the
same time thoroughly practical, seeking to do
without delay what comes first to be done. And
as heroism, like charity, begins at home, be is
necessarily a patriot, and, in the present state of
Italy, an armed patriot. But though the condi-
tion of his native land hes made him a soldier, he
could never pursue war for its own sake. It is at
best the terrible but iodispensable means to the
great and noble end in view. He draws the
sword to destroy the chronic elements of war and
conquer the conditions of lasting peace. And now
that his work is for the present almost
accomplished, and he is about to sheathe
his victorious sword, ho solemnly directs
the attention of Europe to these conditions.
In the hour of triumph, when Europe is ringing
with the glory of his achievements, instead of
dwelling on what is done, however great or noble,
his mind reverts at once to those larger hopes and
aims of his life which remain unaccomplished.
For the moment the attention of all Europe is
fixed on and every man waits anxiously
to hear what the De-rsroa will say or do next
A selfish or ambitious man would enjoy the
triumph of such a position, and turn it to his own
licConint. GLISIBALIn turns it to account, but in
his own noble way. He seises the precious mo-
ment wheu all its peoples are listening to utter the
thow;hui and aspirations of his inmost heart with
regard to the future concord and welfare of Europe
—how these "fratricidal wars" may he made to
cease, end " this poor life of man he passed
" begin!' than in a eminent state of menac.• and
" hostility, and the constant study to kill one
" soother scientifically." It is impossible to mad
this earnest, noble plea in favour of international
ceocord, enlightenment, and progress without feel-
ing that, thongh the writer wears a sword and
knows how to use it, he is nevertheless in the
truest sense an apostle of that divine faith which
breathe■ peace on earth and good-will to men.
The moment chosen for issuing this solemn
pleading in favour of European peace, though it
may appear at first sight ill-timed, is peculiarly
opportune. Such a plea published at snch a
moment by the first soldier and most suceesefti
general in Europe, rebukes at once the short-
sighted friends and equally short-sighted foes of
a truly pacific policy. It is imposeible for
reflective and generous mind, not to look beyond
the unfit: wary end barren wary that have
periodically ravaged Europe and devastated
