addressed by Garibaldi to the Gsoo• committee,
which says :

" We are near the final solution of the national
question. Notwithstanding the obstacles throws in
our way by enemies, by false friends, and by the
timid, whereby our programs has beau arrested, we
most go on to the end. The rivalry of individuals
inset cease. We must leave it to history to pass
judgment on our task. Let us be still more closely
united around the Sag of our Be Galantwonao. Let
us mutually and solemnly apes to meet on the
last battle-field, at the side of our brave army,
which will still find companions worthy of its
brotherly co-operation. All is a token of victory.'
Garibaldi concludes by calling upon the com-

active eo-operation.

THE ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS.
PARIS, Dec. 16.
The Paris papers publish the following from
Naples :
" The director of the Observatory at Naples has
issued another report on the eruption of Vesuvius.
This report states that on the 10th Instant the
eruption was rapidly diminishing in force, and ap-
peared to be °easing. At the lower craters it only
manifested itself by slight pea of stooks.
" The principal crater cast forth ashes and vo-
lumes of smoke.

"On the night of the 12th inst. the Monograph
indicated two very slight shocks of earthquake,
lasting two minutes, but since then there has been
no disturbance.

"The mephiticexhalations which issued from the
mountain at the close of former eruptions have
been very prevalent on this occasion, especially at
Torre del Greco, and have extended to the sea
shore.
" About twenty houses have fallen near Torre del
Greco, which is not yet out of danger."

NAPLES, DSC. 9.

I hasten to send you an account of the eruption
which broke out yesterday at two o'clock, after
several slight shocks of earthquake, half way up
the metuitein, near Tony del Greco, where the
lava is making most havoc. The inhabitants, with
but few exueptions bays fled, the houses being
more cw lass dainaind by the repeated shocks from
the convulsed ground. From the principal mouth,
now broken out, issues with violeuoe so dense •
column at stones and sandy ashes that in a few
hours it has overrun the plain, near two miles in
length, towards Torre del Greco, imbedding a house
' and church, of which only the roofs are visible.
The current of lava has taken two directions ; the
one to the left, if the eruption continue, as it
threatens, will, without deviation, pass the town,
and make itself a passage to the sea. The other,
leaning more to the right, threatens the town iu the
centre. The danger becoming greater, a precipitate
retreat, amidst dense showers of ashes, was thought
advisable, as no guide would follow, and the earth
becoming agitated we were glad to find ourselves
again on terra firma, and once more breathing air.
The roads are rent and almost impassable from the
loaded cart. of fumitnre which encumber them, and
yet it is a remarkable fact that, though nine times
destroyed by the lays, the proprietors of thu place
always hasten, the eruption over, to rebuild their
houses, undaunted by the ever-menacing peril of
remaining buried under the mountain. A guide
was killed by one of the stones, which struck his
head off at the distance of a mile from the spot
whence it issued.

Borges has been caught and shot, after a deeps
rate conflict with the brigands, in which the troops
and national guard were victorious, having tho-
roughly routed the band infesting the Basilicata.

M. Luigi Palmieri, director of the Observatory
of Vesuvius, has presented the following official
report on the present eruption :

end whilst they incremed in intemity, the electro.inagnetic
sismograph began on the following day to mark a continual
vibration in the soil, with frequent shocks (sometimes un-
(hilarious, sometimes starts) of emihquake. doom of these
shocks were felt in Naples.
At last, about 4 p.m. on the ittb, • large cleft opened is
the lava of 1794, some miles above Torre del Greco, near
the Brancaccio property. At first there issued from it •
gre4 abundance of smoke, and then, cc usual, pieces of lam
violently shot forth with terrible roarisgs, which reminded
the inhabitante of Torre del Grego of past disasters, and
made them hasten to quit their booms and seek refuge
elsewhere. About 3 p.m. the fluid lava escaped, covered
with great scoria of • singular composition, rich in pyrossees
and almost entirely devoid of lencitea After baring de-
vastated several cultivated fields and partly buried some
aountry houses, the lava stoppetbecause the violence of the
line of craters along the slops gradually diminished about
midnight
On the morning of the 9th, whilst these lower critters
were again is considerable activity, the upper one, which
since the lOth December, 1855, had sauady ever cased to
emit fire, and which seemed at last disposed to rest' *mu

material with horrible detonations, which still continue.

I will not flail to keep you informed of the circumstances
of this new kindling up of our volcano, reserving the scien-
tific details for the next volume of the annals of the
observatory, if memos for priating be furnished me.

A Naples letter of the 10th hist., published in
L'ltaiie, says that it is reported from Teramo that
the conacription is proceeding throughout the whole
province, without the least impediment or disturb-

ante. In Teramo there had been great popular
demonstrations, with shouts of viva for Viotor Em-
manuel, Garibaldi, Italy, the army, and the con-
scription. The drawings for the conscription had
also been effected in quite an orderly manner in
the communes of Bosco Reale, Vico Equense, Let-
tere, and Poo-Marino. The syndic of Mole di
Gaeta had been entrapped by a party of bri-
gands, who pretended that they wished to
surrender. They escaped to Sonnino, in
the Roman territory, having, it is believed, '
assassinated the syndic. A lieutenant of artillery
and a sergeant who were on their way from Nola
to Canmllo were shot in their carriage, at 2 p. m. on

dinary robbers, who knew that the lieutenant had ,
a sum of money with him. These are the only
sinister events reported as contrasting with the
encouraging tenor of the rest of the news from the
provinces. The 15,000 inhabitants of Torre del
Greco had nearly all taken refuge in Torre Annun- •
slats and the environs from the eruption of Vesu-
vius. The authorities were furnishing them with all
possible aid, but the railway had become impracti-
cable. Only two persona had as yet been killed
by the eruption.
