THE WAR IN ITALY.

(niox twit smut,

UHPONDINT WITH THI MILIAN

HIADQCMITTUR OP TEI ITALIAN LINT,
Tom MALLIIIIIIIII, JOLT 5.

During the last few days I have been unable to
struggle against the conviction that something of
great importance was about to happen to Italy.
Baron Rica:tali, as I told you in my last
letter, arrived here on Tuesday. Jaciai, the Mi-
nister of Public Works, had been telegraphed for,
and joined him. Then Berti, the Minister of Public
Instruction, came to headquarters in his turn;
then some officers thought they had seen Cialdini
arrive in a somewhat mysterious manner. I was
also confidentially told that Lieut.-Colonel Ricci, of
the general staff, had suddenly left headquarters
to go to Paris to fulfil an important mission.
Baron Ricasoli—l was also confidentially informed
—had gone to Salo, where he had a long interview,
of the most private nature, with Garibaldi. All
them circumstances put together induced me to be-

here that we were on the eve of some great politi-
cal or military event I was not mistaken. Her
military honour being saved, Austria has come to
the wise determination of giving up Venetia. It
would have been better if she had done it before;
for she would have spared the lives of thousands
who fell gloriously on both sides, and who are now
lying in their graves amid the still bloody fields of
Conoco, Sona, and Villafranca. You will easily
imagine the effect produced here by this news,
which became known through • the agency of a
telegram containing the official announcement made
by the Moniteur.
The news is of such an astounding character that,
it is impossible for me to tell you the impression it
has produced on the Italian army. As far as Inn
at present judge there appears to be a general sense
of amazement blended with a sort of depression.
This is not to be wondered at ; for though these brave
Italians fought like lions on the 24th of June, yet
they hoped to show in a fresh battle that they could
do even more. But what will be the effect the news
Is likely to produce at Garibaldi's headquarters 1
I may be mistaken, but I do not think it will have
been received with satisfaction. The phrase of the
Moniteur, which states that Venetia is ceded to
France, will be painfully felt by those brave volun-
teen, and by their illustrious chief. There
is only another observation to be made-
From some information I have reason
to believe pretty correct, it appears that
the cession of Venice on the part of Austria im-
plies the cession of Rome on the part of the Italians.
Should this condition turn oat to be true, I leave
to you to imagine the effect it will produce. Ido
not know whether it is true, but there was it report
current at Cremona yesterday evening, according to
which Baron Ricasoli had resigned office, and that
we were going to have a ministerial crisis. For
the good of Italy I hope the report is unfounded.
The telegraph will have told you of the 'action
sustained by the Garibaldians at Monte Suello,
near the village of Bagolino, the day before yester.
day. The affair was rather hot, and Garibaldi
was slightly wounded, so slightly that he will not
even be obliged to lay up. The Garibaldians
fought well, but they had to deal with
superior forces, and the positions the Austrians
held were so strong that it would have required
more than two regiments to carry them, The
losses of the Garibaldians, particularly in officers,
have been rather heavy. The Garibaldians could
not dislodge the enemy from Monte Suello and
Bagolino, but these two positions were afterwards
abandoned by the Austrians, who no doubt appre-
hended another and fiercer attack.

P.S.—Baron Rica/lob, who, as I told you in my
letter of yesterday, had left headquarters to return
to Florence, is expected to arrive here in two or
three hours. What he is coming for I hope to be
able to tell you in my next.

THE WAR AND THE ROYAL FAMILY OF ENO-
LAND.—The Princess Helena was married on Thursday at
Windsor. The scene was in one respect a strange one. All
present had just read the announcement in the Abmiteur,
and many must have felt as if marching in lace and jewels
to their military execution. There was Prince Frederick
of Holstein, the political life of whose family that pmos
finally ends, the King of the Belgians. whose dominion
may yet be required for compensations, the Duke of Edin-
burgh, whose prospective throne has been swallowed up,
the Duke of Cambridge, whose sister sinks from the wife of
