TII E SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1860.

GARIBALDI is now in Messina—soon, we trust, to
be master of it. With a garrison of fifteen thou-
sand men, were they all reliable, Messina is very
strong and might become a Sebastopol to an army
not provided with the means of keeping up such a
" fire of hell" as that which opened the way for the
rush into the Malakoff. Bat are the soldiers, are
the officers especially, to be trusted ? There is but
a small minority amongst them devoted to their
RING at all hazards. A much larger number are
iu favour of a constitution ; but, to insure that, they
need not shied their blood that it should be a con-
stitution octroyed by a Bourbon and committed to
his faithful keeping. They are more sure of a
permanent constitution by sticking to GARIBALDI.
Then there is the large Italian party, compris-
ing all the intelligence, education, and enthusiasm
of the army, and probably the most likely
to influence its feelings. With such senti-
ments fermenting amongst the officers and soldiers,
every day must make them morally a weaker
garrison, and spare the ammunition of GARIBALDI
and the blood of the Italians. Humanity would be
gratified to learn that Messina was really evacuated,
and that the slaughter of Melazzo was not to be
repeated.

The progress of events, however, is of a kind to
gain for the great Liberator a kind of praise to
which many would not have thought him entitled.
At first., after the grand success at Palermo, there
was almost an " ignorant impatience" of his alleged
inaction.. He ought to make at once a dash on
Messina And the eastern towns, and all would Hy
before himn. It is now evident that he knew his
work better--that, like our great Captain, he would
leave nothing to chance, at a time when any seri.
ous failure would have emboldened afresh the
despots of Rome, of Naples, and of Paris. He se-
lected the best of the Sicilians and drilled them ;
he waited for reinforcements of Sardinian, or rather
Italian, volunteers, for ammunition and other sup-
plies; and, as fortunate as anything for him, he
waited for the desertion of the Neapolitan ship.of-
, war Veloce, which soon did justice to her name, and to
the inspiration of a cause which doubled the skill and
energies of every man on board, and both captured
hostile vessels and deterred hired vessels from
taking troops from the mainland to Messina. In
due time he marched his divisions through the length
of the island, and it fell to the lot of the northern,
and principal one, to win the hard fought battle
near Melaz to, to carry the fort at the point of the
bayonet, and to marcher). .
to Messina itself.
The report of the humanity of the KING turns
out, as We h anticipated, to be little better than a
Probably haNz
fable. He wouldbut too glad to
purchase hn)nunity from a continental viftit of the
great Genes.a, by leaving him quiet possession of
all Sicily, hn.owing full well that he could hold it
but for a sT.iort time at rnost ; but the battle of
Melazzo disi Doses' of all the pretences to himanity.
It was not ti) spare blood, but to spare himself the
the presence of GARIBALDI in Calabria, or in Naples
itself, that th e overtures were made. Once master
of Messina, it rdeed, nothing could prevent a descent
