GARIBALDI IN FLORENCE.

A letter from Florence in the Dthats of Feb•
23 says :

The public here have been much surprised by the sudden
and unexpected appearance of General Garibaldi in Flo.
ranee. The general has been through the town in a close
carriage, but when the people recognised him he was the
object of an ovation. It is generally supposed that he is
on his way to Venice, which place he promised to visit
some time hack. There are persons who say that this is
but the apparent object of his journey, and that it is the
state of affairs in Greece that has brought him from his
retreat, but there is nothing to confirm this sus-
picion. It is quite true, however, that the Italian
government are much occupied with the Eastern
question—much more than people in general be•
lieve. We have here a special Greek envoy named
Conduriotia, who is very active, and who is busy in
procuring arms and money for the Greeks ; but I have not
heard that Garibaldi is any way mixed up with his proceed.
ings. On the other hand, as during the last war
Garibaldi was favourable to the policy of the government,
it is not likely that he has come out to mix himself up in
the elections. The natural explan►tion of his journey iv
probably the true one ; but it is just the one that persons
are least disposed to believe in.

THE FRENCH LEGISLATIVE BODY.

PARIS, FEB. 26.

Yesterday evening in the Legislative Body M.
Lanjuinais addressed the house upon the inter-
pellation of which he had already given notice.
He acknowledged the importance of the conces-
sions granted in place of the debate on the address,
but maintained that the right of interpellation,
controlled as it is, was no right, but toleration.
He regarded the decree of the 19th January as
irregular, and considered that the measures an-
nounced therein should have been authorised by a
&uatus Comte/turn.

M. Cheimclong stated that the majority of the
chamber did not separate the empire from liberty,
and pointed out the progressive development of
the national institutions since 1852.

M. Marie maintained that the suppression of
the address was illegal, and that it restricted the
right of discussion and the popular control of public
affairs.

M. Vuitry, in reply, demonstrated that the
right of iuterpellation was advantageously substi-
tuted for the debate on the address, and spoke in
refutation of the attacks of MM. Marie and Lanjui-
naiL

M. Jules Favre concurred in the views expressed
by these speakers, and concluded his speech by
saying, " Let us maintain the address—it belongs
to us."
The discussion will be resumed to-day.
