GARIBALDTe, LAST ADDRESS.

Garibaldi's last adieu to his companions in arms
has just been published, and runs thus :
TO MY COMPANIONS IN ARMS.

We must now consider the period which is just
finishing as the last stage but one in our national
resurrection, and prepare ourselves to finish worthily
the marvellous design of the elect of twenty gene-
rations, the completion of which Providence has
reserved for this fortunate age of yours.
Yes, young men ! Italy owes to you an under-
taking which has merited the applause of the uni-
verse. You have conquered and you will conquer,
because henceforth you are prepared for the tactics
that decide the fate of battles. You are not un-
worthy of the men who entered into the close ranks
of the Macedonian phalanx, and who contended not
in vain with the proud conquerors of Asia. To this
wonderful page in our country's history another
more glorious still will be added, and the slave
shall show at last to his free brethren a
sharpened sword forged from the links of
his fetters. To arms then, all of you! all of you!
and the oppressors and the mighty will disappear
like the dust. You, too, women, cast away all
cowards from your arms—they will only give you
cowards for children and you who are the
daughters of the land of beauty must have children
who are noble and brave. Let timid doctrinaires
depart from amongst us, to carry elsewhere their
servility and their miserable fears. This people is
its own master. It wishes to be the brother of other
peoples, and to look on the insolent with a proud
face, not to grovel before them imploring its own
freedom; it will no longer be dragged along by
men whose hearts are base. No ! no ! no ! Pro-
vidence has presented Italy with Victor Emmanuel.
Every Italian should rally round him. By the side
of Victor Emmanuel every quarrel should be for-
gotten—all rancour disappear. Once more I repeat
my battle cry. To arms, all—all of you! If March,

861, does not find a million of Italians in arms.

then alas for liberty—alas for the life of Italy !
no ! far be from me a thought which I loathe like
poison. The March of 1861, or, if necessary, Feb-
ruary, will find us all at our posts. Italians of
Calatafimi, Palermo, Volturno, Ancona, Castel-
fidardo, and Isernia, every man of this land who is
not a coward or a slaVe is on our side. All of us!
all of us ! I say, standing close around the glorious
hero of Palestro, will strike the last blow at the
crumbling edifice of tyranny. Receive, then, my
gallant young volunteers, the honoured conclusion
of ten battles—one word of farewell from me. /
utter this word with the deepest affection, and from
the very bottom of my heart. To-day lam obliged
to retire, but for a few days only--the hour of battle
will find me with you again, by the side of the
champions of Italian liberty.
Let those only return to their hcmcs who are
called by the imperative duties which they owe to
gwrhaotit
by
yde their glorious
of their woundsthei their
havefamiliesd,
easnordvetdhotshee
coun-
try. These, indeed, will serve Italy in their homes
by their counsels, by the very aspect of their noble
wounds. Apart from these, let all others remain to
guard our glorious banners.
We shall meet again ere
long, to march together
for the redemption of our brethren
who are still
the slaves of the stranger. We shall meet again
ere long, and march together to new triumphs.
