General Garibaldi,

The following tranelition of a letter has been
sent to u 8 for publication

TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE " MOVIMENTO."

In the supplement to No. 137 of your newspaper, under
the head of " England," you quote an article of the
Morning Post, to which I feel myself called upon to reply
as follows :

"Political associates and intimate friends,—You would
do me a most signal favour if you would have the goodness
to share with me the deep gratitude that I feel and that I
owe to all those Englishmen whom I met and with whom I
associated in their noble country, from the honest sons of
labour to the illustrious men who preside over its Govern•
went.

" Know, then, that I decided upon visiting England in
order to pay her a sacred debt of tratitude, anal that I with-
drew when I taought proper to do so, without any instiga-
tion whatever.

. .
"As to those under whose roof I was an honoured
guest, it will never he possible for me to thank the,"
sufficiently for the exceeding courtesy which they so
splen-
didly lavished on me."

Be so good as to publish the preceding, and consider me,
yours, &c,, G. GAFCIBALDI•
Caprera, May 22.
