AUSTRIA AND VENICE.

The following manifesto was addressed by the
Venetians to the Neapolitans, on the occasion of
King Victor Emmanuel's entry into Naples :

Wien you receive the fraternal islets of poor Venetia
the King of Italy will be among you, and on will salute
him with joy and bless him with team re him brethren,
end do not trouble your thoughts with the remembrance of
unfortunate Venetia and her redness. Venetia to-day rejoices
' with you • du knows that to-day you rejoice with her.
Venetia suffers all the shame of hostile domination,
but she is indomitable and strong. Austria may
destroy, but can never bend her. Veneta doss
not complain, but waits her opportunity; she does not
groan because she believes and hopes ; she believes and
hopes in you, in herself, in our King, in the valour of the
army in the enthusiasm of the people. She knows that she
has given her blood for you, and she knows that you will give
you., for her—for her liberty. She knows that you rejoin
not only for Naplat but become Italy has been oonstituted
from this day forth. It is Italy that advances ; it is the
King of Italy that is canting to Venice by way of Naples,
and we have opened it to him by the blood of our
volunteers.

The Impetuous energy of twenty•three millions of Italian
alone can break the chains of those who are bound. We
know that today all Italy will remember Venetia. Tell the
King et Italy in our name, tel Garibaldi, tell the army,
tell the voiunteere, tell all free Italian that the thoughts
saintearta of Venetia are with you : that their victoria
are ours their joy oar joy, their celebration our celebration,
bemuse we know that the plans, the sufferings, the for-
tunes el Venice are those el Italy also.

The further advicee received regarding the wreck
of the Done Label, Breollian war corvette, state that out
of twenty-seven officers on board twenty-three were kat,
and upwards of 100 mariners. The vessel is reported to
have gone to pieces. The Moors behaved well, and the nu,
vivon were carried by a British vessel of war to Tangiers,
and there placed under the protection of Mr. Drummond
Hay. The Minister here has ordered the Brazilian The-
Consul at Gibraltar to do everything in his power to suc-
cour the survivors, and with that view, and to examine into
the OWNS of the calamity and recover the guns, Admiral
Greenfell, the Brazilian Consul-General, will, it is said,

proceed amt once to the spot. The diameter occurred about a
o'clock p.m. on the 11th.

Advicee from British Columbia to the 10th ull
state that the government of Vancouver's Island was about
to borrow 50,000 dole., at 12 per cent. interest, for the
purpose of Improving the harbour of Victoria. The mining
news dose not vary from previous amounts. It relates the
usual items of discovery, with nothing very startling. The
schooner Langley bad .silsd Rom Victori► on an explorin'
expedition to the north-west meet. She was manned by a
crew of six men, whose purpose wait to thoroughly explore
the coast for precious metals MI fart flicks. She was fitted
up with two three•ponnders. The leader of the party is
the celebrated Sebastopol &mien, well known as a am-
eesrfal prospector on rimer River.

PIEDNON'TESE HEADQUARTERS, NOLA DI
GAETA, Nov. 12.
__

No military operation of any importance has
been as yet attempted by the Piedmontese army
against the besieged city. Parties of men are daily
employed in digging trenches which will enable us
to bombard the place, but owing to the rainy sea-
son, which has already begun, the work is proceed-
ing slowly, although unmolested by the enemy.
The position of the 8,000 Neapolitans who have
been refused admittance into the doomed city is
pretty much the same. They are encamped on that
tract of land which is enclosed between the
northern bastions of the town and our line of
blockade. Yesterday, as I was riding towards
our advanced lines, I could see those wretches
wandering about through their camp, and
from their appearance it is quite evident
they are in • state very near to starva-
tion. The general who commands them has
offered to capitulate, but both Victor Emmanuel
and Cialdini have declined the offer, for they be-
lieve that the garrison of Gaeta will one day or
other mutiny, and, by compelling Francis 11. to
leave the town, will open the gates of the city. In
order to keep the 8,000 on the look out Cialdini
now and then throws shells and shot over their
camp.' I was present at one of these uncomfortable
salutes, and I never in my life saw such a scene of
confusion as ensued from it. At the bursting of
the first shell the whole of the camp rose and the
men began to run in every direction. As the shots
were soon directed towards the place where these
unfortunate men tried to shelter themselves, they
fell back towards the bastions of the
town, as if to implore admittance. Through
our telescopes we could see the wretches
making all aorta of gesticulations of distress and
supplication. The screaming of women and children
—for the Neapolitan officers have their families
with them—was really heartrending. The soldiers
to whom those pressing entreaties were addressed
walked up and down the glacis of the forts of Gaeta,
taking no notice of the supplications of their com-
panions in arms. Cialdini, who is as humane as he
is brave soon ordered the artillery to discontinue
their ire, and the poor Neapolitans were then
allowed to return to their camp.
' I spoke to one of those unfortunate soldiers who
was allowed to come to the Sardinian camp. He
told me that food is wanting in their camp, and
that what the governor of Gaeta sent to them from
the bastions scarcely sufficed for the wants of half
of them. This poor fellow was allowed to remain
in our camp, and the good-hearted Piedmontese
soldiers soon shared their soup and bread with him.
A party of 400 men, who had been disarmed by
the French at Cistern:, have also made their ap-
pearance here. They asked to be accepted as pri-
soners of war, and told Cialdini that if he were to
refuse they had nothing better to do than throw
themselves into the gulf. The Piedmontese general
of course received theta, and they were sent on to
Naples this morning. To hear the imprecations of
these men against Francis 11. is at the same time
horrible and amusing. They said that the "in-
famous tyrant had basely abandoned them, and had
positively refused to receive them in Gaeta,
although the French general bad sent a message to
the King that they were ready to go there." They
now feel all the horrors of their position, and curse
the cause they have faithfully served.
Amongst the prisoners made by the 14th batta-
lion of Bersaglieri, the day before yesterday, there
are about 200 men belonging to the Sealedisti
They were almost all convicts of Procida, who had
been let loose in order to perpetrate the atrocities
of Isernia and Plan di flora. I hear that the
officers of these volunteer bands are going to be
subjected to a court-martial. It is not as yet cer-
tain, but it is generally reported, that amongst
those officers there is the famous Campole, the moat
sanguinary of Abruzzi banditti, who ordered the
executions of Isernia. This man had the cruelty
to burn • boy fourteen years old, under the very
eyes of his mother, because he refused to shout
"Long live Francisll."

NAPLES, Nov. 13.

To-morrow the royal order of the day, which I
here translate, is going to be read. The condition
imposed on the volunteers, that they 'Lail bind
themselves to remain under their colours for two
years to come is tantamount to a decree of dis-
bandment. The majority of Garibaldi's volunteers
belong to the working classes of Northern and
Central Italy. They might abandon their families
and their trade to answer the call of the popu-
lar general, and to defend the cause of Italian
unity in the south ; but they will never become
professional soldiers, more especially since their
general has retired from service. You may,
therefore, anticipate the total disbandment of the

OHDIM Or TDB DAY.

The volunteers commanded by General Garibaldi in the
south of Italy have well deserved of the country and of ua.
Whilst our government is occupied in organising them
completely in accordance with the laws and regulations of
the state,
I have determined :

1. In regard to the rank of the officers, a special corantis-
'ion composed of superior officers of the two armies shall
nuke me propositions in accordance with the brevets which
they now possess.
2. To the officers, non-commissioned odious, and soldiers

who, by the effect of wounds received during the war, are
unable to follow the military service, will be applied the
laws regulating the pensions in our ancient estates.
3. To those non-commissioned officers sad soldiers who
are desirous to return to their homes shall be furnished
their conga, and the means of returning to their country
shall be granted to them, together with three months' pay.
This conga shall not, however, free the soldiers from the
obligations they may have towards the state and the army,
according to the existing laws.

4. The volunteers who may be desirous of remaining
seder the national colours must bind themselves to serve
in the army for two years, beginning from the date of the
present order of the day. They will be organised in accor-
dance with the other corps of the army.

In spite of this, I am glad to state that the baro-
meter of Italian patriotic expeotaticias is up to
"set fair." Lord John Russell's generous and
admirable despatch has gone the rounds of all
the Italian
_papers., and calla forth unspeakable
gratitude. Thn Italians, who are a very expansive
sort of people, do not lose an opportunity of show-
ing their gratitude to the numerous English who
are now visiting Naples.
Mr. Elliot will leave Naples the day after to-
morrow with the legation, on board her Majesty's
ship the Queen. The second attache will remain
here in charge of the archives.

On the 10th inst., King Victor Emmanuel re-
ceived several Sicilian deputations, which had come
to pay their homage to him. His Majesty replied
to their addresses as follows :
My friendship for the Sicilians is of long standing. In
1848 I was an admirer of the courage of this people, but
the destinies of Italy were not then matured. From in)
youth 1 have been trained up for Italy, and she has bra'
always the object of my desires and my came ; now God
has blessed the wishes of the Italians and mine. Thanks
to the goodwill and the arms of the Italian people,
Italy is now a great and strong nation. But it is
necessary to be constant and harmonious, in order
' to preorre the good we have gained ; in Chic way we shall
he in a position to resist the threats of our old enemy, as 4
may hope to see reunited to Italy the parts which are dill
warm& I know that the Sicilians love me ; and mindful
el their patriotism, I love them, and shall always maintain
the suns sentiments and treat them bite as limiest. resa.
In a short time I shall be in the midst of you in SW ;
but it grieves me that oars of state will not permit me to'
remain loos among you, sad to visit all the cities al the
Wand, which I hold squally dear.

A Turin letter says :—" It bae been rumoured
that Treads 11. hes reosieed money been Run& The
fact is true, but has no political sigrificance. Francis FL'
had Rmeian funds, which he has sold, and the proceeds
hare been sent to Gaeta."
