THE MUTINY IN THE ITALIAN LEGION.

The following letter (says the Malta TimeB), which
may he relied en for its coneetases„ has been received here
front • pessongee on baud the Tudor, which serried to
England part ante Italian Legion. It gives an accosat of
the passage to Ragland, and of the mutiny which took plies
es board, as already briefly stated, and aids details not si
yet published. It says:
"We arrived safely ben (Liverpool) after • tedious and
seenewkist adventurous voyage of 30 days. On the Thew
day after leaving Malts, at about seven o'clock in the sun-
lag, when off the Island of Paatalleria, we heard some
thuds/ in the fore pert of this vessel, but at fleet took no
nabs, awe *urinated it to OHO men amusing themselves;
bat soon afterwards on. of our °Seers sashed aft, telling
the solossol that the mos wen in • state of mutiny. The
colonel, with Cartels Andersen, of the skip, immediately
west or to the foneastle, sad found Lientessat
Ambers., with hisaword drawn, haranguing the men Upon
sesst the eolonel and captain, he told them they were
both his prim:mars, upon which they hod to the poop.
I want forward and met Aughera easing aft. He ordered
me in go on the poop, as he would have no one where he
was. The English officers got the nen-ommissioned odious
and as sassy of their mom se the could depend upon of to
the poop, and by this Mess the men began to to that it
was • bad Ulan. We managed to plain ourselves between

Regiment, pushed him aft towards the step. Angkor&

soured. The colonel then addressed the men, informed
them they wen going to Ragland, and not to America, as
Lioutesset Latina"' had told thew This sesseed to quiet
then, as they shortly afterwards diepersild in an orderly
sensor. Neat day we got fifty stand of era into the
winters cabin and loaded 25 of the pieces. The whole
of the ammunition was also removed from the magazine to •
pleat of greater suavity; and fortunate it wee that this
precaution was taken, as on the following day it was dis-
covered that the staples of the sawn' had bun with-
drawn. We got two of the ship's gess on the poop, and
thus prepared for the wont we considered ourselves safe.
Anghers's plan use to make the English °Mars winners,
and if they resisted throw them overboard, kill the Italian
alms who would not join him, make the captain of
the vessel sway his to Pentalleria, release the politleal
penmen unlined in that fortress, sad rules the stan-
dard of liberty in Sicily. Bad be had the pluck to have
cut down the English sears, I think many would hays
joiud him when they found the English officers over-
powered. On Saturday, at fur o'clock a m., Lieutenant
Rashers was removed by the colossi's orders to the steamer
Bedpan, in order to separate him frost the men. At Gib-

Couge, of the tad Regiment, and was kept under Woes

he now is. The Mauritius took as in tow at Gibraltar,
where we put in for water. Our cent adventure occurred
when off Oporto. The steamer broke dour, end we had a
narrow snaps of running into bee. We consequently pat
Into Vigo, where we remained • day. We afterwards put
into Plymouth, where we were also delayed some twenty-
feel hours. We left Plymouth in tow of the Selansuder,
and at last arrived at Liverpool on the 22;h, where, to end
our skeeter of accidents, we lost our anchor, from the cable
Winking when it was let go. Eleven men died on the
pomp bent • Wahines very nosh like, it not, cholera."
