A Naples letter, in the Sill*, Bap :

Accounts from Caprers state that General Turr met, in
that island, General Ifieroslawski and twelve superior
officers of volunteers, and it appears that on that occasion
important resolutions were come to. No mention is made
of their nature, but an idea may be formed front a letter
sent by Garibaldi to the son of the illustrious Mania. This
young man bag had both his wounds break out afresh.
Garibaldi, who addressee him as his dear son, tells him
not to be guilty of any imprudence, but to get cured as
quickly as poicible, sad to hold himself in readiness for
the Lit of February. Everything here is also for war, both
government and private individuals. The lieutenancy has
just had posted up on the walls of Naples the proclamation
in which Garibaldi said that, on the let of March next,
Victor Emmanuel must find himself at the head of 500,000
soldiers.
