THE SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1880.

The progress of Gon. GARIBALDI appears to be a
continued triumph. A long line of successes has
marked his career since he first embarked in the
great cause of the liberation of Southern Italy.
With the prudence which so often accompanies the
most distinguished courage, and for which the
Italian hero is especially remarkable, he has secured
Reggio instead of at once proceeding to Naples, as
some supposed he would do. He has thus secured
a base for his operations which has greatly strength-
ened his position, ard will enable him to march to
the capital with increased confidence. There is little
to oppose his progress. Between Reggio and Naples
there are no fortresses, and the great forests which
cover the sides of the Appenines will serve, if neces-
sary, for the purposes of concealment or temporary
retreat: Neither is there any doubt as to the result
of an attack upon the capital. The train has long
been laid, and at the first spark it will ignite. For
long years have the people groaned under the
tyranny of their miserable rulers ; for many months
have they watched with eager eyes the gradual
liberation of Italy, and the daring march of GARI-
BALDI'S Volunteers. It is not likely when the
prize is within their reach, when the chance of
freedom is brought to their very doors, that they
'will suffer the enterprise to fail for want
of their cordial aid and active co- operation.
Let GARIBALDI once reach Naples and we
shall be much surprised if either army or navy
prove very formidable opponents. Though in the
employ of a despot, wearing his uniform, and re-
ceiving his pay, they are still Italians, they are
men. They can remember as well as their com-
patriots the long years of crushing tyranny that
preceded the outbreak of 1848 ; the fleeting
triumph that followed it; the treacherous pledges
of the intimidated Monarch, the political perjury
which succeeded. They can recall the revelations
c the secret dungeons which may one day await
them and their associates—the bands of noble,
intelligent, and patriotic spirits that have been
crushed by the rack and the chain. Will they
fight for a dynasty whose works are such as these ?
whose misrule has made their country the byword
of civilised Europe ? We cannot believe it. The
Neapolitans, so often the victims of tyranny and
foreign domination, have sometimes thrown off their
lethargy and showed their spirit at last. They
proved it long centuries sinco when resisting the
yoke of another Bourbon in the bloody Sicilian
vespers. Now a better way is open to them, a path
to national freedom is before them less stained with
bloodshed and cruelty. The one man who has
been found equal to the occasion is advancing
to the rescue of the down-trodden Neapolitans, let
us hope with the same success which has attended his
former efforts. When GARIBALDI first set out on his
memorable expedition it was looked upon by many
as the rash adventure of a hairbrained enthusiast,
or the wild scheme of a reckless democrat. He has
proved himself no less the general than the soldier,
zo less fitted to plan a campaign than to lead an
army to a victorious charge. While statesmen
were fettered by treaties and monarchs were ham-
pered by allies, it remained for the free and fearless
Pattiot,.responsible only to his conscience and his
countrymen,
'to achieve the realisation of the idea
on Which they had all been descanting so
eloquently but
so unsatisfactorily. Whatever
may be the result of his enterprise the English
sympTthies will be enlisted on the side of GARI-
BALDIand what that result will be we can hardly
7
doubt. Two Neapolitan brigades have already
Gsur-
rendered at discretion to General COSENZ, and their
example will probably be shortly followed by many
others. With Naples once in the Possession of
GABIDALDI the keystone of despotism will have
Italian liberation fallen,. and the cause of he,
humanly speaking, secure.

The socond session of the sixth Parliament of
her Majel ity Queen VICTORIA is closing at last.
From the 2 4th of January till the same, time nearly
in A ugust—seven calendar months, hard upon
eight lunar months—it has been pursuing its, at

first, sprightly, then quarrelsome, then weary way
—till, at last, the members get free for more con-
genial pursuits. Much could we wish, for higher
reasons than the pleasure of Members of Parlia-
ment, that the weather may be as propitious as
they could desire for the slaughter of another kind
of innocents than those on which they have re-
venged themselves while confined to their legisla-
tive home.

The wise man says, that better is the day of
one's death than the day of one's birth ; the latter
teaching us the sober reality in which all the ardent
parental hopes of the former so commonly terminate.
And, most assuredly, if we compare the Speech by
which her MAJESTY announced that the session
had begun to breathe, with her farewell confes-
sions, and with the hard facts of its close, the un-
certainty of early sessional hopes could scarcely be
better illustrated. Hardly one of its domestic pro-
mises have been fulfilled ; and foreign affairs are
certainly not in the position which might have been
anticipated at the opening of the year from the
words and deeds of our nearest neighbours. Of the
noble paragraph on Italian affairs we may say that
—as it was, perhaps, the very best in the
Speech—so events in August smile brightly on
the Royal sentiments of February. Whatever
became of congress, said her MAJESTY, " whether
in congress or in separate negotiation, I shall en-
deavour to obtain for the people of Italy freedom
from foreign interference by force of arms in their
internal concerns, and I trust that the affairs of the
Italian peninsula may be peacefully and satisfac-
torily settled." This was all Italian patriots needed
—and firmly have our Ministers held this language
throughout. Indeed, they have gone farther. The
Premier has declared that the best settlement for
Italy would be to get rid of her remaining tyrants
from Rome and Naples, and Lord J. RUSSELL
has not hesitated to compare GARIBALDI to
WILLIAM 111. and WASHINGTON. On foreign
affairs, indeed, throughout, the language of our
Foreign Secretary and his colleagues has gone, in
the direction of their countrymen's sympathies, to
the utmost length which official decency could
permit.

Not quite congruous, however, with the hopes of
February are the facts of England's and indeed all
Europe's position just now. That, however, is in
no sense due to our Government, unless indeed their
placing too much confidence in the man who so
barefacedly violated every oath and promise to
mount his throne may have encouraged his temerity.
We must, we confess, wonder how any one can
place the slightest reliance on Imperial words and
professions; but diplomatically it may be necessary;
and the diplomatic propriety which induced the
QUEEN to speak of only a congress on the state of
Italy, deferred sine die, was soon compelled to speak
out when with a barefaced LIE any secret inter.-
tions about Savoy were disavowed—when it turned
out that they had existed before the Italian war—
when they were renewed on the most utterly baseless
pretexts—when promises were made to respect the
rights of Switzerland in the two small districts—
when these promises were cancelled—and when, last-
ly, the stronger said without reserve," I will swallow
all I please of the Alpine territories." Then began
that general distrust with which the session closes,
which shows itself not only all over Europe, but in
the altered language of our Prime Minister—in our
naval and military estimates, in our volunteers and
our fortifications. We co operate with France in
China and in Syria ; but we, and all Europe, have
changed our whole policy since February. China,
too, does not seem likely to realise the commend-
ably peaceful anticipations of our QUEEN ; the
American " difficulty" of San Juan does look better.
Mr. BUCHANAN has in that matter acted worthily
of his position, though the dispute remains where
it was. Internal peace has continued to bless
India, and the " Viceroy " can probably still trans-
mit " the most gratifying accounts of the loyalty of
the QUEEN'S Indian subjects ;" whether the internal
resources of the country will be developed as her
MAJESTY hoped, and financial prospects decidedly
improved, time has not yet elapsed sufficient to
prove. Respecting Syrian calamities, England's
Government could not be expected to anticipate
them. The Government, whose stamp the mus-
kets distributed among the Maronite Catholics
bear, and in whose capital the Arabic newspaper,
full of venom against England, was printed, might
perhaps be looking for something which should
serve to talk about instead of an Italian war.

But it was in what we were to do at home that
' the great display was made. The Budget, resplen-
dent with the French gilding of a commercial
treaty ; the Reform Bill ; the improvement of our
jurisprudence—bankruptcy, the transfer of land,
the consolidation of statutes, and such fusion of law
and equity that suits could be begun and termi-
nated in the same court—these, besides all the
routine work of the session, were all to be got
through in 1860 ! A splendid programme to be
sure ; and the first article of it quite a novelty—
the consummation of Free-trade, and the opening
up of untold commerce with France—all parts of
the Great Budget of 1860 ! The other things were
remanets of repeated former attempts, but they
seemed all to have nearly passed their chrysalid
state, and to be ready for transformation into Acts
of Legislature.

Alas for the vanity of even Royal hopes, what
has become of them all ? The first and great one
—the Treaty• Budget—it has achieved one great
good we must all acknowledge—it has swept away
400 insignificant articles paying customs duties,
and left hit a few, all of which pay well for collect-
ing. That is, no doubt, a good clearance ;it was
the well-known intention of Sir ROBERT PEEL
to come to that result. But the treaty itself
is quite another question. Would that great
and cautious financier have sacrificed the wine
duties for no conceivable object, but that of
looking liberal towards a community—(for we
acquit the EMPEROR here, because we believe him
to be in advance of his subjects)—a community who
refuse even the free export of rags, not to mention
the high protective duties which they clutch to the
injury of their own national revenue. He would
either have said to the French, we shall levy the
duties most profitable to our own Exchequer, with-
out consulting your wishes; or, if we consult
them, we must have reductions of your duties pari
passu with our own. Such, we may be confident,
would have been the language of a PEEL. Time
will show—and sincerely do we hope our fears may
be groundless—but we much fear the narrow-
minded, close-fisted Frenchmen have induced Mr.
GLADSTONE to sacrifice our revenue, and to saddle
us with an increased income-tax for their benefit
chiefly—it may be, only. As to the rest of the
Budget, Mr. GLADSTONE certainly contrived to
bring on the House of Commons such a humiliation
as it has never suffered for hundreds of years. To
the ill-judged scheme which gave up the paper
duty, and laid on the additional penny of income
tax to make good the loss, we owe the famous
" Lords' aggression." The real meaning of which
we take to be this—the Lords see equal taxation
approaching, therefore they furnish themselves
with a pretext to reject any bill which shall sub-
ject zeal property to its just share of taxation.
As to alltheyest of theproposedmeasures wehave

\,

but to lament their untimoly death. The Reform
Bill—" made to pass " the " poor little bill,"
which at first to Opposition meant to let take its
course—even its guilelessness could not save it. It
would not do to lay violent hands on it, so it was
talked out of existence—really, by the hatred of
tories and Whigs to any reform, aided by the
secret longings of all honourable members not to
sentence the Parliament it had cost them so much
to enter, to an early dissolution. All of them, also,
knew full well that the Premier and his half of the
Cabinet were but too glad to get Reform out of the
way.

But even the law reforms shared the general
mortality. The Bankruptcy Bill was in no sense
a party bill—the great Tory lawyers supported it
—it was the embodiment of the ascertained wishes
of commercial as well as professional men—yet in
such a Parliament as this, die it must. As to
questions of ecclesiastical liberty—Church-rate
abolition went back from a majority of about 70
last session, to one of 29, and then of 9 this session!
Had Tories been in office it would not have been
so. Indeed, we believe, that every liberal mea-
sure would have been in a far better position if
Mr. DISRAELI had been leader of the House of
Commons. PALMERSTON always jilts Reformers
when he is in office. When he is out, he aids
them for the sake of getting in. And thus—with
a treaty of doubtful value—with every liberal
measure sacrificed—and with a Budget which has
trampled the rights of the Commons under the feet
of the Lords—thus endeth the second session of
QUEEN VICTORIA'S sixth Parliament.

The Torino, which landed 1,500 volunteers, but no
provisions, on the Calabrian coast, has been de-
stroyed by the Bourbon's ships. The steamer in
question was insured, it is true, at :y our Lloyd's for
a million of francs, but the loss is great notwith-
standing, and will be severely felt in Garibaldi's
future operations, for his naval means are very
limited.

The Sultan, in authorising his ambassador at I
Paris to sign the protocol of the 3d inst., which is
to be converted into a convention, imposed the
condition, however, that the protocol should con-
tain nothing which might involve the idea of
foreign intervention in the interior affairs of Tur-
key. It was for that reason that the wishes of the
great Powers respecting the measures to be taken
for ameliorating the condition of the Christian sub-
jects of the Porte were embodied in a second and
separate protocol.
This protocol, by the distinct reserve of the
Turkish ambassador, was not to be inserted in the
convention. Russia, nevertheless, insisted that the
convention should recal and confirm the promises by
the Porte at the Congress of Paris in favour of the
Christians. The Divan refused to accede to this
demand, which it declared would constitute an act
of intervention in the interior administration of
Turkey.

The Porte, however, declares that, acting in the
full exercise of its sovereign independence, it will
use every effort to fulfil the wishes of the Chris-
tian Powers.

These preliminaries have delayed the signature
of the convention, upon. which, however, all the
Powers have now come to an agreement.

.The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the speech of
the Emperor in reply to the address of the civic
authorities at Lyons.

His Majesty said—" I thank you for the manner
in which you appreciate my efforts to increase the
prosperity of France. Solely occupied with the
general interests of the country, I scorn all that
which may place obstacles in the way of their de-
velopment. Therefore the unjust distrust excited
abroad, as well as the exaggerated alarms and
selfish interests in the interior will not affect me.
Nothing will make me deviate from the path of
moderation and justice which I have followed, and
which maintains France on the height of grandeur
and prosperity which Providence has assigned her
in the world. Therefore, give yourselves up with
confidence to works of peace. Our destinies are
in our hands. France gives in Europe the impulse
to all great and generous ideas. She only suffers
from evil influence when she is degenerating. Be.
lieve that, with the assistance of God, she shall not
degenerate under my dynasty."

Seven hunch ed volunteers had already embarked
yesterday at Genoa, when an order came suddenly
from the Ministry to prevent the departure of the
vessel. The command was obeyed, but as other
vessels were going to leave the harbour, the larger
part of the volunteers, no longer in military array
it is true, managed as passengers to get away in
driblets, and the rest will doubtless find means of
getting out of the harbour to-day.
Signor Manna is expected back from Paris this
day. His diplomatic mission has been a failure,
but whether he has succeeded or not in bribing any
journal there to espouse the cause of the Bourbon I
cannot pretend to say. These envoys tried here
at Turin to tempt several journalists with money,
but unsuccessfully. They gained one yenal soul at
Milan, where public opinion was soon found to be
incorruptible,

CHINA.

HONG KONG, JULY 8.

The steamer Pekin will be despatched this morn-
ng at 8 o'clock, to which hour her departure has
been postponed from 2 p.m. yesterday. The steamer
Cadiz arrived on the 6th inst., with the London
mails of May 26. The Pottinger is expected to
bring on the treasure and opium saved from the
wreck of the Malabar.

From Shangai Lord Elgin and Baron Gros have
followed the naval and military Commanders-in-
Chief to the Gulf of Pecheli, whence direct intelli-
gence, not known here, will be transmitted by this
mail. Much anxiety is felt as to the course of ac-
tion that will be followed in the North, where the
presence of the Ambassadors causes a suspicion of
an attempt to renew futile negotiations—futile be-
cause everything confirms the general belief that
the Chinese are determined to fight.

The Governor-General of the Two Kiangs, who
lately took refuge in Shanghai, is ordered to be
sent to Pekin in chains, Conflicting accounts are
received as to the actual position of the rebels ; but
they do not seem to lose ground, but, on the con-
trary, to advance, and they still retain possession
of Souchow. Some missionaries from Shanghai
lately paid them a visit, and its result is given in
an interesting letter published in the North China
Herald. It appears that the original letter is still
alive, and in supreme power at Nankin.

There has been a serious disturbance at Foochow
between the Canton and Chewhew men, but for the
present quiet has been restored. The presence of
a British man-of-war at all open ports is most de-
sirable.

The English Consul is on his way to Swatow,
where he is much wanted, and where he will be of
service if backed by a man-of:war, though, in the
actual state of our relations with China, his appoint-
ment is an anomaly.
At Canton perfect tranquillity prevails, but some
suspicion attaches to the sudden appearance in the
neighbourhood of an Imperial force, for the osten-
sible purpose of keeping the rebels (who are believed
to have gone to the interior provinces) in check, but
whose tactics may embrace the double object of pro-
fiting by the reverse that the Chinese believe must
befall the Allied forces at the Peiho.
