TURIN, Ann. 3.
We have not yet received a definitive answer
from the Greek government to the question
whether or not it accepts the offer of having a
resident minister of the kingdom of Italy at Athens,
and sending one of its own either to Turin or
Rome when the Italian government resides there.
If King Otbo, forgetting that he is a German
prince, only remembers that he is the King of
Greece, he will welcome the offer ; and in that
mile, Count Idatniani dellaßovere, late minister of
public instruction, will be sent to Athens. The
announcement, that the count had already been
appointed ambassador to Greece is accordingly pre-
mature.

General Garibaldi arrived at Turin this morning,
and immediately received an ovation. It was
wished that he should address the people that wel-
comed him, but he sent word by one of his friends
that he wanted rest, as he was not very well. I
have already informed you that many mischievous
meddlers had gone to Caprera to urge him to some
imprudent step or other : he has now come here to
see how matters are with his own eyes, in order not
to be deceived again as he has been so often by
pretended friends. He has already held conver-
sations with his generals, Sirtori, Colons, and
Medici—meu quite incapable of deceiving him
—as well as with several other persona. To-
rrow, probably, Nino Nebo will return from
Paris, and will moat likely bring important iufor-
mation with him. His presence will be invaluable
to Garibaldi, for Niuo Bixio is one of the must
loyal of men. This evening it is understood
that Garibaldi will visit the King, as all true
friends of Italy are extremely desirous he should
do, because whenever Garibaldi has been with his
Majesty lie ie calmer, more moderate, and more
averse to the factious intriguers who would make
hint an instrument of divisions and plots which
would soon compromise both the present and the
future of the country.
Meanwhile Austria is preparing for an invasion
into the Modernise territory ; but being well aware
that this is a desperate stroke, she hesitates--
would and would not—and gets up pretexts awl
excuses. She has sent away the Hungarian soldiers
and has changed the garrisons of Mantua and
Verona, for fear they should have a secret
understanding with the inhabitants. She is
putting stores into the strong places and ac-
cumulating ambulance. She has bought 3
number of red shirts, and you can easily imagine
that she intends to use them either to surprise us
or to create an artificial coals Nifi. It is quite cer-
tain, also, that some of her secret agents have puts
ehasedthefurloughsof Garibaldiau officers and hub-
officers. Our government has arrested one of these
agents, but has not hitherto obtained any impor•
tent revelations, since Austria makes use of very
clever men, who shelter themselves behind more
simple ones, who perhaps scarcely know for what
and for whom they are employed. Clever and is-
scrupulous, however, as is the Austrian police, it
may be safely said that it is nut by such arts that
empires are saved. Great ideas or powerful
armies are necessary : the former, it need scarcely
be said, Austria is destitute of ; and the latter
she is far from possessing, for an army
of a nationality alien to the central power cannot
be a strong army. Unfortunately, we too aro
divided and harassed, thanks to the Mazzini fac-
tion ; but we feel pretty confident, nevertheless, of
our power to resist our enemies.
Dr. Pantaleoni, who was recently expelled from
Rome, is still here ; and Ito are sonic of the French
journalists and literar► men who came for the In-
auguration of Daniel Mauin's statue. Their cow•
pullout, as you aro aware, were expelled from
Venice. In the few hours they spent there they
would see quite enough to convince them of the
frightful state of decadence of Venetia, and that
the Austrians make a desert wherever they no,
since as many as can d.: so leave, unable to put sP
with military insolence. Thu young meu arruallY
make haste to depart that they may escape the l'!*
sibility of wearing an Austrian uniform and fightmg
against their country.
