GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION TO SICILY.

The Patrie of Tuesday evening says:—
" Gen. Garibaldi's departure for Sicily has been
fully confirmed. He left during the night from
the sth to the 6th inst.

The Piedmontese Government had ordered all
arms and ammunition which had been deposited at
Quarto, near Genoa, to be seized, and had also given
orders for the port of Genoa to be watched.
" The expeditionary vessel, which had taken her
papers for Malta, had put out to sea two days pre-
viously. General Garibaldi joined the vessel im-
mediately afterwards, and she, instead of proceed-
ing to Malta, went to Sicily. The Piedmontese
Government made every possible protest against
this act of General Garibaldi, which may involve
the new Italian State in serious difficulties.
" General Garibaldi, being in connexion with
the committee in London undertaking the collection
of English subscriptions for Sicily, had, in order to
replace the arms which he feared would be seized
by the Sardinian Government, received other arms,
which had not passed through Piedmont."
The Pays contains intelligence identical with
that given by the Patna.

The Opinion Nationale says :—" The different
vessels belonging to General Garibaldi's expedition
will unite off the Island of Capraja ; they will then
direct their course towards Sicily."

BERLIN, MAY 9.

The Military Committee having, without any
essential modification, unanimously granted the
supplies for placing the army upon a war footing,
the discussion of the project in full sitting is ex-
pected to take place on Monday. The discussion
will probably be concluded in one single sitting.
The Military Committee of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, in its sitting of yesterday, unanimously granted
the supplies applied for by the Government for
placing the army on a war footing.
Advices from Italy received here state that the
French garrison remains at Rome, and probably
will even be reinforced. The treaty between
Hanover and England will be prolonged after the
14th May, but perhaps for a period of less than
three months.

VIENNA, MAY 9.

The Wanderer of to-day says :—" The Privy
Councillor Apponyi has refused to become a mem-
ber of the Council of State. The same is stated of
Count Barkoczy.

MARSEILLES, MAY 8.

No news has been received direct from Sicily, but
letters from Naples to the sth instant state that the
insurrection continued in the interior of the island

Government had raised the state of siege at Paler-
mo, but the court-martial was to sit permanently.

Business had not been resumed.

General Balzano had demanded a reinforcement
of 5,000 men in consequence of Garibaldi's expedi-

tion.

GNEVA, MAY 8.

Prince Napoleon arrived here incognito on Sun-
day at noon, and left at 2 p.m. on Monday; he
was accompanied by M. E. de Girardin.
This excursion of his Highness has no political
object.

TRIESTE, MAY 8.

Count Ludolf will embark this evening for Con-
stantinople, there to assume the functions of Charge
d'Affaires of Austria. •

Baron Prokesch is expected here in a fortnight.
The report that he will be appointed Minister for
Foreign Affairs is unfounded.

ROME, MAY 8 (VIA MARSEILLES).

Notwithstanding the statements of the Sardi-
nian journals that the French troops will have en-
tirely evacuated the Papal States before the end of
June, it is certain that the Duke de Gramont, in
accordance with instructions received from Paris,
has declared to the Holy See that the French gar-
rison will not leave the Papal territory until the
Sovereign Pontiff himself shall have acknowledged
that the departure of the French troops can take
place without any danger to the tranquillity and
safety of his States.

THE PUBLISHED RENUNCIATION OF
COUNT DE MONTEMOLIN.
PARIS, MAT 8.
The renunciation of the Count de Montemolin,
which has been published in several journals, is
said to be unfounded. The Count is expected to
arrive this evening at Cette, and next Thursday at
Paris.

THE STADE DUES.
HANOVER, MAY 8.

It appears probable that the Anglo-Hanoverian
treaty relative to the Stade Dues will be provision-
ally prolonged from the 14th of May for a further
period of three months.

In to•day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the Minister of the Interior, M. von Borries, stated
that some journals had, intentionally or uninten-
tionally, misrepresented the policy of the Hanove-
rian Government. He further said—" The past
history of Hanover should insure her against any
misrepresentation. Hanover is faithful to the Con-
federation. The Federal Constitution does not
admit that a German Government should conclude
a convention with a foreign Power against any
other German Powers, and least of all would such
a convention be entered into with France."

The Minister concluded by saying that in his
speech he had merely alluded to the probability of
such a state of things in the event of Germany
becoming disorganised by a false course of policy
on the part of the National Association.
