GARIBALDI AT 211A.RSALA.

At 4 o'clock on the evening of the 19th it was
announced that Garibaldi was approaching Marsala
from Trapani. The people immediately crowded
the walls and, streets as on a festival day, all pas-
sionately eager to behold on the day of joy, as in.
the day of danger, the man who is known in both
hemispheres as the " Hero of Marsala." The mu -
nicipality, the National Guard and its commander,
went out two leagues from the town to receive
and to felicitate him. Thousands of flags floated
from the windows, and, in the midst of cheering
from thousands of voices, the procession arrived at
the cathedral, where the clergy awaited its entry.
Atter a hymn and benediction Garibaldi was about
to leave the church, when a strange scene took
place. A monk ascended the pulpit, and addressed
the people and the general in such striking lan-
guage upon his arrival in the city, that when he
had concluded Garibaldi embraced him, and pro-
nounced him to be a true priest of the gospel. He
was then borne to the house at which he was to
stop, in the midst of plaudits and showers of flowers.
The enthusiasm had now reached a point which it.
was impossible to describe. The general appeared
at the balcony, and signified that he wished to
speak, when there was at once profound silence.
His voice was calm and solemn—the clear and
powerful expression of the Italian idea which is
incarnate in him.

"The time is come (said he) when we can no
longer permit the stranger on our soil, and the
slavery of a portion of our brethren. Italy can no
longer abide this shame. This is a shame for
25 millions of men, and it must cease in a few days
from this time. Yes, ROMP is ours. Yes, Rome
or death. (The crowd—' Rome or death I') It
was from Marsala that the cry of liberty went
forth. From Marsala la this cry go forth to-day:
Rome or death !' And this cry will resound not;
only in the Peninsula, but will find an echo throug'n-
out all Europe, and wherever the name of liberty
has not been profaned. We only want what be-
longs to us. Yes, that which belongs to us—for
Rome is ours. Rome or death. (The crowd—
' Rome or death.') Yes, Rome or death ! (The
crow Rome or death !') This cry will weigh
more in the balance of diplomacy than all the
prayers in the world. We are tired of praying;
No more protestations, no more prayers. Let
Napoleon know, once for all, that Rome and
Venice belong to ns—that the brethren of Rome
and Venice are our brethren. We owe gratitude
to the people of France. Yes, the French
people are with us. They are our brethren.
Napoleon . . . . did not not make war in 1859 for
Italy. We have given him Nice and Savoy, and
he wished for something else. Yes, I know it. He
has worked to aggrandise his family. He has one
prince ready for Rome, and another for Naples, and
so on. I knowit. . . . We do not require
prayers. The people of France are with us. Let
Napoleon 111. quit Rome, and Rome is ours. lam
happy to-day at being with you, for I have good
reason to be your friend_ Adieu !"
Garibaldi made a present of his portrait to Mar-
sala; he also gave one to Palermo, and will present
a third to Messina.

THE FRENCH IN MEXICO.

The Patric publishes the following :—" Accounts
have been received from Vera Cruz to the 2d inst.
which state that the French troops, since the 11th
June, have had two combats against the Mexicans,
who were repulsed in each. On the 12th General
Saragoza having addressed a letter to General de
Lorencez, in which he urged him to capitulate, in
order to get out of the difficult position in which be
was placed, the French General rejected the over-
ture. On the following day he was informed that
the enemy wt.s marching on Ingenio, a small town
about three miles from Orizaba, where the French
.-dvanced guard were stationed. In the evening:
General de Lorencez sent to that place a company
of the 99th Regiment under Capt. Detrie. That
officer divided his troops into two parts, and arrived
about midnight at Ingenio with the first. He there
learned that the Mexicans occupied Borrego, at a
short distance from that town. Captain Detrik
immediately ascended the hill, attacked the enemy
at the head of 60 men, and caused them a severe
loss. He was quickly supported by the rest of
the company, and after a combat which lasted
until daylight,
the Mexicans retired, leaving in
the hands of the French four pieces of cannon
and a quantity of stores. The Mexicans bad 120
men killed and 135 wounded. The French had
23 put hors de combat. Capt. Detrii is among
the number of the wounded. On the following
day the Mexicans approached Ingenio with 5,000
men and 20 pieces of cannon, when they were
attacked by the French troops, in number about
630. After a combat, Which lasted from three in
the morning until ten, the Mexicans retreated,
leaving a considerable number of killed and
wounded on the ground. General Saragoza com-
manded in person in this affair. From the 15th
to the 24th June, the date of the last accounts.
from Orizaba, the Mexicans had not reappeared..
These combats have secured to the French the
possession of Ingenio and Borrego, positions so
important for the military establishment of Orizaba.
On the 2d July the communications of General.
de Lorencez with Vera Cruz were perfectly
secured."

According to a letter addressed from Switzerland
to the Turin gazette, eight hundred Swiss, formerly soldiers
in the Neapolitan army, have again taken service under
the Bourbon. Furnished with regular passports they are
to arrive in small partks in Naples, where at a concerted
moment they are to attempt a coup de main against the
military posts of that city. They carry with them hues
containing asphyxiating shatter.
