General Garibaldi arrived at our town yester-
day,morning. He alighted atPeolonel Deidees,
where he lodges. The illustrious general has
sent us the following proclamation, with the
request to insert it :
"TO THE ITALIAN'S.

" As underhand machinations were continually
impeding the freedom of action attached to the
rank I occupy in the army of :Central Italy, and
which I made use of in the endeavour to attain
the object which every good Italian has in view,
I leave for themoment the military service.
" On the day when Victor Emmanuel will again,
call his soldiers to arms for the .redemptiori of the
country, I will-find again a weapon of some sort,
and a place by the side of my valiant companions.
" The miserable tortuous policy which for a
moment disturbs the majestic march of our affairs
must convince us that it is neee9sary for us to
draw cloie-reuUd the valorous andleyal soldier of
independence, incapable of retrograding in his
sublime and generous path, and that we ought
now, more than ;ever, to prepare, geld and steel
so as to be abletorexet those who shcaild endeavoUr
to,plunge us back-again into the miseries of the
nest "JOSEPH GAAIBALDI.
