ITALY.

The Sicilian post brings various details of
Garibaldi's visit to Palermo, all confirming the
intense rapture of the reception given. From the
balcony of that palace where we have seen him
stand so often, and where, nu the 10th September,
1860, he appeared fn- the last time during the
brief twelve hours he had stolen from Naples,
appeared to pass in review the children of the Mili-
tary College previous to their passage to fight the
Italian battles on the Volturno.
Garibaldi spoke as follows :

Two years since, from this balcony, I recounted to
you a conference then held with twoßourbon gene-
rals. I told you of the conditions accepted, because
they were humane, such as the restitution of the
I wounded. These, I knew, would find an echo in
your generous hearts ; but when I came to certain
humiliating conditions offered by them I heard
a sound that seemed a lion's roar. No !
you refused those terms as one man. That
day the unity of laly was decided—that
idea, the aspiration of nineteen centuries, had
commenced its realisation in the formula—one
Italy and Victor Emmanuel. That formula is ours !
We proclaimed it amid the grape and cannon shot
of Calatafimi, again as we entered Palermo from
Gate Termini. Now, let us carry it out to its last
significance. That principle gave us strength to
fight our enemies, to drive them out with the
butt-ends of our muskets against their backs. That
principle will lead us toßome and to Venice. ("Al
piu presto," from the crowd below, "As soon as
possible.") I need not say to you,—" 0 people of
Palermo, I am your friend." Our friendship was
born in an hour of danger and of glory—rely on
that friendship, give heed to my words—you know
that I can never betray you.
This principle of which I speak must lead us to
the final victory. Human nature, alas ! is not
perfect. There are bad men who are
influenced
by other motives—by ambition, by selselfishness.These men are like the cholera. Such men as
these preach " Murat avisene,"
plague of Italy. Murutism which is the
would lead to
a rupture of our national strength--Would disperse
s
that fascio _Romano which we mean to compose at
any cost. Muratism would lead todespotism,
be-
cause Murat was a relativedespot—becausehis
till
keeps the cancer in the heart of Italy in Rome. He
and makes of them so many bri-
hires mercenaries,
bri-
gands.
I must tell you this truth; Napoleon the autocrat,
the powerful tyrant of France, is not our friend.
No. My
words contain a disillusion, but the peo-
ple of Italy must oe undeceived. I do not speak to
you of the French people. Like ourselves, they
have need of lil)erty ; to-day, unfortunately, they are
dragged down by despotism ; but they are our
brethren, and you must learn to distinguish between

opp. e3sor and oppressed. The people of France, the
people of Germany, the people everywhere, are our
brethren. Another evil, like the serpent in the
grass, is re-appearing ; Bourbonism, treated too
leniently, abuses the forbearance shown. It dresses
in red, it pretends to take interest in the people ;
but it is always a scoundrel canaglia, it works
unceasingly in the dark. A third evil I pointed
out long since to the people of Naples ; to-day I
point it out to the people of Palermo : it is the Pope.
Look to it that you distinguish true priests from
false. The monks of the Gancia and other priests
of Palermo, for example, who fought with us upon
the barricades—note how they differ from the
priests who surround the Pope in Rome. The first
are the ministers of God, the second are the minis-
ters of the Devil. They would decide the fate of
Italy in their own fashion—would make the destiny

of Italy subservient to their own interests. Speak-
ing of oar national interests, remember that city
must not be divided from city, nor family from
family ; remember that the foreign soldier still pol-
lutes our roil, and until other Vespers have taken
place we shall never succeed i❑ clearing the land
of all these scoundrels, and in forming one Italy
under Victor Emmanuel. Brotherhood does not
merely mean that we must all work together for
Italian unity, but also that we must aid the sister
nations to attain their liberty and independence.
Concord, then! concord! Jn concord lies our
strength. No more jealousy between Sicilians and
Neapolitans; between Piedmontese and Lombards.
We are one family—we are strong. If from these
ports those insulting foreigners have departed, it is
because they learnt our strength. Concord between
province and province becomes concord between
family and family. Those who love their country
must pardon each other. If any of you nourish
hatred in your heart lay it bare ; my brave people,
forgive any who have injured you, I implore you
in all affection, in the name of that fatherland that
it is ours to redeem_

And now it remains but for me to thank you and
to tell you how happy I am to be once more
amongst you. But I will not leave you without
presenting to you my brave Carran. A people who
own a son as noble as Carran, as noble as these
braves who surround me, is a great people, a gene-
rous people. I have seen this people as calm upon
the battle-field as in the public square, where now
we find ourselves together. With these heroes,
and with this people, we shall soon find ourselves
at Rome and. Venice. Amen.

No words can describe the frenzy (says my corre-
spondent) with which this harangue was received.
The women wept; old men brought their sons—
some of them were children—to be blessed, asking
eagerly, " But when, oh when, shall you want them
to fight for Rome ?" " Presto—prestissimo," was
Garibaldi's one reply_ " During the few days we
were in Palermo (writes one of Garibaldi's fol-
lowers), we might have enlisted an army as nume-
rous and dauntless as that which gave battle to the
Bourbons on the Ist October."

Giovanni Carran, with Pilo and Crispi, was one
of the three chief agents in the preparation of the
Sicilian revolution. Alone in a little fishing boar,
he and Pilo brought the tidings of Garibaldi's arri-
val at Marsala, fought through the whole cam-
paign, and with his arm broken by a bullet at 10
.m . on the Ist October, fought on till evening, ever
in the foremost ranks.

POLAND.

(From our own Correspondent.)
WARSAW, JULY 4.

The day before yesterday, at 5 o'clock p.m., the
Gran dyuke Constantine, accompanied by his wife
and suite, arrived in this capital. He was met on
the frontier by the Secretary of State, Mr. Enoch,
and the Minister of Public Instruction, Mr.
Krzyniaki. Oa approaching the limits of the
Government of Warsaw he was received by the
Civil Governor, Mr. Laszizynski, and at the tem-
porary station erected in the Faubourg of Praga he
was welcomed by the heads of the civil and mili-
tary authorities. A crowd of the idle and curious
people surrounded the station, and as he was cross-
ing the bridge in the Vistula some few soldiers,
disguised as civilians, ran alongside the carriage,
and tried to pull it, together with the horses. The
inhabitants of Warsaw received him without any
mark of demonstration, though many of them ap
peared pleased with his arrival. The Grand Duke
repaired to his residence, at the new Palace of
Belvedere, and from there, in company of General
Virzyzano wiskoy, proceeded to pay a visit to General
Luders, at the Royal Castle, who, it is said, is
much better. The Grand Duke appeared very
fatigued—his children, five in number, are expected
to-morrow. It is inferred from this that he will
be a permanent resident among us. This supposi-
tion has turned out to be very doubtful, from the
attempt which was made on his life by a maniac, or
some tool in the hands of a misguided party. On
the 3d inst., as the Grand Duke Constantine was
leaving the theatre to re-enterr his carriage, by a
private staircase, exclusively kept for himself and
his attendants, a young man app,-oached, extending
his hand to him. The Grand Duke, thinking that
the man was about to present a petition, tried to
reach it, when a shot was fired, and the bullet,
having passed through the epaulette, stopped be-.
tween the shirt and the flesh, slightly grazing the
arm. The aide-de-camp of the Grand Duke, named
Brimmer, seized the assassin, and threw him down.
It is really necessary to ask, with some astonish-
ment, how the police could have permitted any
strangers to remain in that part of the theatre,
which was kept strictly private for the Grand
Duke, and to which the public was not admitted.
The Grand Duke, after having returned to the
salon adjoining his box, had his wound dressed,.
and ordered some paper, on which he wrote himself
a telegraph to the Emperor, to the effect that the
attempt had very little significance, and that
tie did not ascribe it at all to the inha—
bitants of Warsaw, and then returned to the
palace, carrying with him the revolver with which
he was shot at. The name of this maniac, at the
examination, appeared first Budry, them
Z,roszewski, and again Howsz, under all which
he was known to the police, who arrested
in the same passage of the theatre two other per-
sons, and during the night and the following day
many more others, particularly among the artizans.
Immediately after this occurrence all public places
were occupied by the military—numerous and
strong patrols perambulated the streets, to the
great dismay of the inhabitants, who imagined.
that there was a conflagration somewhere, as it is
customary on such an event to turn out the

troops.
Next day the Grand Duke held a levee, which
was attended by the heads of the Church, the civil
uldauthorities, and the Law Credit Society, The
trades guilds declined the honour. On addressing
those bodies the Grand Duke said that would
not
fact, not bring the charge of the attempt made upon his
life against the Polish population, which has
never proved itself guilty of such an act; and
weret the country.
Then, it would
not alter the programme of
the benefits
addedabout
uponch
h
turning towards the President of the Credit
Society, Count Andrew Zamoyski, and shaking his
hand, he requested his assistance and co-operation
in carrying out his labours, Count Zamoyski made
a bow, but made no answer.

The archbishop had ordered a religious service
and delivered a sermon appropriate to the arrival of
the viceroy.

Whilst all these proofs of respect are shown to
the person of the Grand Duke, in the hope that
he was the bearer of cheering news, and of the
change for the better, it is surprising and painful
to aver that the state of things is just the same now
as it was before the arrival of the Imperial brother.
The vexations of the police continue; none of those
who were most unjustly imprisoned or sent away
have been released or recalled, as, for instance, the
Deacons
Wyszynski and Stecki ; not one single
regulation having in view the persecution has been
removed. All the persons hated, like Generals
Krzyhanowskoy, Roznow, Jermolow, and others,
remain in their appointments; and the right of
Krzyhanowskoy, who rides by the side of the
Grand Duke, and holds familiar intercourse with
him, harasees the people so resigned, calm
