GARIBALDI.

The foreign papers all comment upon the great
event of the day, the capture of Garibaldi. The
Independance Belge says:-
1 " Garibaldi, pursued near Aspramcnte by a column of
bersaglieri, has been defeated, wounded, and captured. This
is the great news of the day, posted up at the Paris Bourse,
announced by the .Moniteur as perfectly authentic. It is a
great success for the Turin Cabinet, an un-hoped for sue.
cess, but the consequences of which will be fatal to it if it
does not understand to draw from this victory those benefits
which Garibaldi, by his rebellion, wished to confer upon
Italy. Ganbaldi, doubtless, was a rebel to his Kink. But
he acted in the interests of Italy. That is his strength. The
victory of Aspramonte will only be complete when the
Turin Cabinet can declare that the Roman question is set-
tled."
The L'ebats says:—

" Garibaldi is wounded T Garibaldi is vanquished 1
Garibaldi is a prisoner ! how has this happened ? No-
thing else is spoken of in Paris. The surprise is universal.
. . . Some even say it is a false report. We have, as
yet, no details. Garibaldi's volunteers are said to have
mustered 2,000, while Colonel Pallavicnio had only 1,800
men. The engagement took place in the mountains, where
there was every facility offered for guerilla warfare for flight
or retreat. . . ."

The Debats concludes as follows :
"The ship which is now steering towards Spezzia, with
Garibaldi wounded on board, while it brings a victory to
the Government of Italy, brings at the same time a great
subject of anxiety. What is to be done with Garibaldi ?"
La Presse says :
"The Pews of the capture of Garibaldi has spread through
Paris like wildfire. This is a solemn moment for Italy.
She is now at the most critical point of her destiny.
Armed rebellion is vanquished, but the idea which armed
that rebellion is triumphant. Victor and vanquished are
animated by the same irresistible impulse—' To Rome!'"
We give the last proclamation of Garibaldi :
" I—My programme is always the same. .1 wish,
as much as it depends upon me, that the plebiscite of the
21st of October, 1860, shall be ratified— that the past signed
between the people and the King shall be carried out to the
letter.

" I bow to bis Majesty Victor Emmanuel, a King elected
by the nation, but I am hostile to a government which is
only Italian in name—to a Government which, to please
diplomacy, ordered, in the month of May, arrests and trials
at Sarnico, as it now provokes civil war in the South to
curry favour with the
cc Emperor Napoleon.
Such a Ministry cannot must not, be longer supported,
It deceives the King ; it compromises him as it did in the
proclamation of the 31 of August last. By its obstinacy
it drives the Southern provinces to separation, it betrays the
nation.

"The livery of a foreign master can never be regarded
as a mark of honour or esteem by any Government of our

own.

" When I reached Sicily that generous isle was at the
point of despair. The Neapolitan provin,ces—no one is

ignorant of the fact—cannot be kept down by any amount
of troops.
"Love and good government must be the foundation of
Italian unity. The civic authorities have preferred a dif-
ferent line. They have sown hatred broad-cast, and thoy
reap hatred in return.
,c Madmen I They wish for civil war the more easily to
drown in blood the future of Italy, and to offer up a,,cept-
able victims to the altar of de,potism.
"For my part, I cannot allow these culpable designs to
be carried out, Let the formula of the plebiscite' once
more save Italy. Let all local petty interests give way, to
the great idea of Italian unity.
"Let all the hearts, all the intellect of Italy, join to
achieve the great end of our resurrection ! Let the thoughts
and ideas of all be exclusively directed to the liberation of
Rome. Leave the rest to the future.
"To Rome, then I to Rome ! Rise brave men of 1848
and 1849! Up, generous youth of 1859 and 1360. Como
to this holy crusade! We shall be victorious because our
motto is—' Reason, national right, and the approval of the
world l'

" Our revolution has engendered great hopes in the world.
We must justify those hopes.
" I am sure that the Italian people will not be wanting
in its duty. May it please God that our victorious army
will be with us.
" If I have at any time rendered service to our country,
believe in my words. lam determined to enter Rome as a
conqueror, cr to die under its walls. But if I die lam con-
vinced that you will nobly avenge my death, and carry out
the work I have taken in hand.
"Long live Italy I Hail to Victor Emmanuel in the
Capitol I
