THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1862.

Whether or not GARIBALDI has really been taken
prisoner according to the announcement of the last
Telegram, it is happily all quite decided at
Turin what they will do with the lion—
recently known to be at large amongi the Cala-
brian mountains—when they have caught him !
He is to be carried off a prisoner on board of one of
the Royal ships of war to Genoa—directly he is

caught ! It has been decided, at Turin—we pre-
sume by a sort of podtical Commission de lunatic°
inquirendo—that GARIBALDI is either, in mild
terms, " a Traitor or a Maniac " (sic in the Times'

Correspondence). And as such, upon the very
rea-
sonable proviso already mentioned, namely,when he
is caught—he is to be treated as a prisoner of war, to
be carried off as a prisoner of war, and to be kept as a
prisoner of war for some time to come in " durance
vile." And—under the circumstances—we would
observe, that the last word may be understood in
its simplest and most obvious signification. Now,
all this we cannot but regard as a tolerably fair
specimen of what the Americans call " pretty tall
talking." For, first of all, they have to seize GARI-
BALDI, and when they have got him into their pos-
-1 session they have to make certain that he is still

living--a rather dubious contingency we are dis-
posed to imagine with a man of his indomitable
and unbending character. In either case—dead or
aIive—GARIBALDI, in the possession of the Royal

troops, must be a most perillous embarrassmen

to the KING'S Government. Let it be once known
that the Hero of Caprera has died the death of a
a traitor at the hands of one of the troopers of King
VICTOR EMMANUEL, and the whole fabric of
the New Italian Kingdom under the present

sovereignty will fall to pieces like a house
built of cards. Let it be reliably announced,
on the other hand, that the Patriot Chief is
in the custody of the royal forces as a close
prisoner, is being borne away northwards on board
one of the royal ships of war, is actually incarce-
rated in a dungeon at Genoa—end the mere know-
ledge of this treatment of GARIBALDI by the Go-
vernment will be more threatening to its stability
than the continuance of GARIBALDI at large in
Southern or Ultra Calabria at the head of 10,000 of
his Volunteers.

As events have recently shown, however,
the Government of the Italian KING, so far from
wishing to seize upon the Italian Hero, have
manifestly been afraid of approaching him. Re-
peatedly we have heard, in proof of this, that he
has been completely surrounded one day, and then
the next that (just as a matter of course)—he has
escaped. Yesterday, as the latest instance of this
it was announced by telegram that his march
from Melito had been effectually intercepted in
front of Reggio. Twice—on two successive days,
on Tuesday and Wednesday—the KING'S troops
and the troops of GARIBALDI had come into col-
lision, the latter to the cry of Viva Garibaldi,
the former to the cry of Viva Vittorio Em-
manuele. The Garibaldiaus had been discom•
fited upon both occasions, several of them
had been wounded, among those captured being
one of the field officers of the Insurgent Chief. To-
day we are assured that the royal forces at Reggio
are there in very considerable numbers, and very
strongly posted. And yet—the intelligence accom-
panying this earlier intimation went to the effect that
GARIBALDI had again slipped through thefingers that
have again lacked courage to close upon him! It was
thus the same at Reggio as it had been previously at
Catania, at Leonforte, and at Caltanisetta. They
would—but they would not. GARIBALDI, clad in
far more than " complete steel," in the sanctity, one
might almost say, of his inviolable reputation, had

again, we heard (until the receipt of this new Tele-
gram) passed— aside and onward—scatheless ! The
Tterin Gazette of yesterday (the 29th) announced, in
fact, that GARIBALDI, accompanied by about twelve
hundred of his volunteers, was, according to the then
last reliable tidings of him, at a distance of ten
hours journey from Reggio, having advanced so far
inland as to be already again securely placed among
the heights of Aspromonte. Thither he was being
pursued, the official Gazette added, by a column of
Bersaglieri. This afternoon we learn, however,
with what truth we know not, that GARIBALDI has
actually been captured!
Upon the same day (the 29th) the French Squadron
of Evolution, as we conjectured in our remarks on
Thursday, would prove to be the case sooner or later,
had turned up, not at Gaeta, but at Naples—five im-
perial ships of war, under the command of Ad-
miral RIGAULT DE GENOUILLY. This was the

squadron, the destination of which, after its sud-
denly quitting the coact of Corsica, at Ajaceio, re.-

mained for a while so mysteriously Matter for
the wildest conjectures. While the war vessels
of France are mustering now in the 13ay of 1
Naples, it is reassuring to know for a certainty
that our own Mediterranean Fleet is in like manner
b
'mud thitherwards. So that we may rest assured
tiaat there will be two words (the word of England
as .47'11 as the word of France) to be said in regard
to the course
that may be pursued in any contin-
gency. Whatever
