GARIBALDI'S RESIGNATION.

We find in the Italia of Turin of Tuesday last the
followiog letter from Garibaldi to the President of
the Chamber of Deputies:--
i 1 Caprera, Dec. 21, 1863.
_

" Mons. and Very Honourable President of the
Chamber of Deputies, Turin,—For reasons which
you will learn by the enclosed letter addressed to
my constituents at Naples, I have believed it right
to resign my post of deputy in this Parliament. In
the conviction that the Chamber will accept my
resignation without delay, I have the honour to
declare myself, with respect, Mons. and Very Hon-
ourable President, yours, _

" G. GARIBALDI."
The letter addressed to the electors of Naples,
referred to above, is as follows :

" Caprera, Dec. 21.
" To my Constituents at Naples,—When I saw
222 deputies of the Italian Parliament confirm by
their vote the sale of Italian soil, I had the presen-
timent that I should not long remain in the assem-
bly of those men who blindly tore asunder the limbs
of the country which they were called to reconstruct.
However, die counsels of friends, the hope of repara-
tory events, and an unshaken sentiment of devotion
towards my constituents, kept me at my post. But
now, when I see succeeding to the sale of Nice the
shame of Sicily, which I should be proud to call my
second country by adoption, I feel myself, electors,
compelled to restore to you it commission which
enchains my conscience and makes me indirectly
the accomplice of the faults of others. It is not
only the affection which I owe to Sicily, the coura-
geous initiator of so many revolutions, but the
thought that they have wounded in her the right
and the honour in compromising the safety of all
Italy, which has led me to take this resolution.
There is, however, nothing in this which will pre-
vent me from finding myself with the people in arms
on the road to Rome and Venice. Adieu.—Yours,
" G, GARIBALDI. 4
