A VISIT TO GAIIIB

A correspondent, writing to the Dully News from
Amandie, Department of Jura, at midnight on the 16th
October, thus describes a visit to Garibaldi :
It is a fact that I have reached Garibaldi, though I
scarcely seemed to believe it. I left Dijon at 3 p.m. for
Dole ; the rain came down in buckets, the wind blew in
hurricanes. Arrived, everyone told us that General Gari-
baldi was at the Hotel de Geneve. There I went. Gari-
baldi, Canzio, all departed. I went to Colonel Bourdon,
who was with us in 1860. He promised me a carriage and
horses "for dawn," but meanwhile I found an open dog
cart, and took it. Such cold and wind I never expe-
rienced. No rugs, no coverings sufficed, the wind cut
through one like a knife. I thought the horse and cart
would have been blown into the ditch. My driver
said, "We shall reach them, and that will warm us," and
I must say that the reception, when we did arrive;
compensated for all. " Ah," ho said, " this time I did
not expect you." I have not seen him since, on the eve
of Montana, he sent me into Rome to exchange the
wounded. I was not prepared for the change, His fingers
are all bent with rheumatism, he is as thin as a lath, his
poncho hangs about him like a rag, but his face is as
young and calm and bright as ever. He made me
warm myself over a glorious wood fire, gave me bread
and cheese and chestnuts and wine, though he drinks
none himself now, and we had a couple of hours of
pleasant talk. His position is decidedly " peculiar.'
When he arrived M. Gambetta arrived also in
a balloon, and it strikes me was not over
pleased at the ovations offered to Garibaldi.
They had an interview. After that Garibaldi
wrote to Gambetta :—" I see that I have made a mis-
take. I am useless. I shall return." But this would not suit
"le potpie." So they have given him the command of
the department of Jura. The papers say he has 10,000
men, but in reality he has not 5,000 men—Spanish, Italians,
French, a mongrel crew. The Prussians made a sortie,
and General Cambriels repulsed them, on Sunday. He
is at Besancon, and has 35,000 men. The people
say, " Now Garibaldi has come, we see no more
of the Prussians." But Garibaldi himself expects
them at any moment. He has with him Canzio, his son-
in-law, head of the Quartier Generale; Basso, his faith-
ful friend and secretary; Luigi Castellazzi arrived to-day,
&c. To-morrow, at six, he goes to make a reconnaissance,
and Igo with him. After all, it is pleasant to find one's
self among "one's own people" and the red shirts ; but
to me it is a dream that we can be fight-
ing with and for the French. -Give the Italians
their due—it is noble, it is generous. Remomber that I
write on the 26th of October, the anniversary of Mon-
terato. Garibaldi was victor, would have given Rome to
Italy there and then, but for the " red trousers," and now
it is Garibaldi who has come to their aid. Our real
officers are not come yet. I said, "General, if you call them
they will come." He replied in his very gravest voice,
"That is what I cannot do. It would be too heavy a
responsibility. Each must come on his own account." I
confess my heart is heavy. Garibaldi seems so i,iietiy
prepared for death.
Dole, October 27 (6 a.m )—At 10 p.m. yesterday Gari•
baldi had decided to return to Amanges. During the
night came the news that 6,000 Prussians were concen-
trated, so he left word that he should not return.

THREATENED ATTACK ON THE GERMAN

COAST.

In a letter from Hamburg, dated the 30th October, a
correspondent of the Daily News writes :—Some alarm
was created here yesterday by a telegram stating that
a French fleet of twelve ships of war, each with eight
hundred landing troops on board, had sailed from
Dunkirk for the purpose of making a descent on the
coast of the North Sea, and the statement was sub-
sequently confirmed by an official communication to
the authorities here. Steps were immediately
taken and active preparations made to give the enemy a
warm reception, should a landing be effected at the mouth
of the Elbe. The garrison here, consisting of eight bat-
talions of -Landwehr and the Ersatz battalions or reserve
of the 75th and 76th Regiments recruited in this city,
received orders to hold themselves in readiness to
march at an hour's notice, and one-half of the
force embarked at an early hour this morning in several
steamers chartered for tho occasion, to convoy them down

to Cuxhaven to reinforce the garrison there, whilst the
other half is ready to follow at s,)on.as the telegram arrive 3
announcing the appearance of the fleet off
As the pilot boats at the mouth ('-
hare all been Twilight in and th
and buoys removed, there ,would be no ~,,-rea;
for alarm or fear of the enemy fiwling their way 111)
to Cuxhaven, were it not for the suspicious conduct of the
French fleet on the occasion of the last apprarance in the
North Sea, when hovering eft the coast ten days ago.
Instead of making any hostile demonstration or giving
' indication of their intention to attempt a landing, they
contented themselves with cruising off ITeligoland
and capturing half-a-dozen galliots and other small
craft railing along the coast, taking the skippers and crews
on board their own ships of war, and either setting are
to their prizes or abandoning them to drift about, th
sport of the wind and currents, till stranded on the
coast. Thus it is inferred, and not without iiouie gnnd
grounds, that it was more their object to obtain
possession of some pilots, able with a revolver at
their ' head to prevent treachery and
running aground—to conduct the ships, even without
beacons and buoys, up to Cuxhaven or Wilhelmshaven ;
for it can scarcely be supposed that they would under-
take such a costly expedition, and keep a number of MO
ships under steam for a week or ten days without inter'
mission for the paltry game of destroying a few fishing
boats and coasters, and taking twenty or thirty prisoners
of war.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS.
A correspondent of Manchester Examiner announces the
arrival in London on Tuesday of a body of American
citizens from Paris. It appears that General Trochu and
M. Favre refused to allow the Americans to leave Paris,
lest it should indicate the existence of a panic among
them, and have a demoralising effect not only upon the
citizens of Paris, but even upon the soldiers themselves,
whereupon Mr. Washburn declared that if his request
were refused he would at once suspend diplomatic rela-
tions with the Provisional Government. This threat has
had the desired effect. Only a portion of the American
residents in the city, and these mostly females;
have availed themselves of the permission. gest
of those who had left before the investment*
and supposed that the American flag would
be a sufficient protection to their apartments;
will find themselves grievously mistaken, as in many in"
stances the rich American residences, situated in the
I fashionable quarters, have been taken for the use of the
G-ardes Mobiles or for ambulances. The American°
describe the condition of Paris as most satisfactory. The
I
i population, both male and female, have a full comprehension,.
of the terrible trials through which they have to pass ; bin'
not a voice is to be heard in favour of the acceptance of the
humiliating conditions sought to be exacted by the enccaY.
Were the Provisional Government to show any indicatlo3
of a disposition to listen to them, its members would run'
the risk, not Inertly of being turned out of office, but °'
losing their heads. The spirit of the French is far froO
being broken. On the other hand some America,
families who came into Versailles on the 26t113
gave a gloomy account of the state of affaill'
saying that constant disturbances took place. At Tour'
it is said that letters have been received from Paris, date)
the 28th October. In no other quarter have letters of thin
date been received. It is stated that liberal subscriptioas
are flowing in for the defence, and enough is now sub"
scribed to provide 1,000 cannon. • It is calculated that the
fresh meat rations will last until the 15th of December,
after which the provisions and salt meat will last fisrei
weeks. There remained 40,000 horses, 168,000 oxen, and
410,000 sheep.

The French have only 2,100 German prisoners:
The Municipal Council of Lyons has conferred th°
citizenship of that place on Garibaldi.
From Marseilles it is reported that on the news of the
surrender of Metz there was a patriotic manifestation,
and the consternation was general.
The French official paper announces two more militarY
executions. A soldier was shot for refusing to obey, and
a corporal for abusing and threatening his superiors.
General Boyer's letter about the surrender of Metz 11°

violence of M. Gambetta's language, and a statement tl'3t
the capitulation was caused solely by hunger.
There is still talk of removing the seat of the Govern' •
ment Delegation from Tours to some less dangeroll
place, but nobody knows where. M. Gambetts, wool'

La France states that General Cambriels has been re'

change is that the first-named general is suffering frog'

The Courier de L'Ouest refers to the prosecutions whin
have been commenced against some journals which air
flounced the surrender of Metz a few days ago, and saY°
that the Government which gave absolute freedom to th°
press should be indulgent to certain errors and Mistakes'
An arbitrary course of proceeding can only result in strife
and discord.
The postal service in France is conducted in a
deplorable manner. The papers do not reach their
address, and the letters come irregularly with a delay eif
many hours. The result is a regular confusion of sociP''
affairs, and business becomes difficult to transact. SO°
of the French journals are indignant at this vexatiotig
state of things, and call the attention of the authorities 0
the matter.
The Siecle says—" The tone of the rural districts la
