THE CAPTURE OF GARIBALDI

The Turin correspondent of the Constitutionne/
gives the following details of the capture of Gari-
baldi :

" TURIN, AUG. 30.
"This morning, at 2, the Minister of the Interior
received the news of the combat at Aspromonte,
and of the capture of Garibaldi and his volunteers,
The first despatch was sent by General Cialdini,
dated from Reggio. Other despatches followed.
From these it appears that Garibaldi's intention was
if possible, to gain the Tyrol. Colonel Pallavicino,
who commanded the Bersaglieri, knowing that Ga-
ribaldi was at Aspromonte, resolved to attack him,
and, despite the difficult nature of the ground, he
led on his regiment of Bersaglieri, which ho had
reinforced by two battalions of the line. He divided
his little corps into three columns, which ascended
the hills towards Aspromonte by three different
Paths. Garibaldi was summoned to surrender; on
his refusal, the fight commenced. It was long and
desperate. 'rho volunteers made a resistance which
was not to be expected from such young and inex-
perienced troops. The number of killed is not
great,but there are more than 300 wounded on both
sides. Garibaldi received two bayonet wounds : one
through his thigh, the other in the foot. Menotti
Garibaldi is also wounded. The position was carried
at the point of the bayonet. As every issue was
guarded, retreat was impossible, and the result has
been the unconditional surrender of all. Garibaldi
asked leave to embark onboard an English steamer ;
out Colonel Pallavicino had no powers to decide
in the matter. He referred to General Cialdini,
who applied for instructions to the Government.
A Council of Ministers was immediately convoked.
No decision seems to have been come to. Mean-
time, Garibaldi is on his way to Spezzia, a prisoner
on board a man-of-war. He will be treated with
the highest consideration that circumstances allow.
Every precaution has been taken to prevent a
demonstration."
The Paris papers publish a protest from Kossuth,
in which he denies having anything to do with the
appeal made by Garibaldi to the Hungarians.
