SARDINIA.

The banquet given to Garibaldi at Turin on
New-Year's-Day, came off with much eclat. Colonel
Thur's presence gave rise to a demonstration of
sympathy with Hungary. Deputy Boffero was
the chief spokesman, and the inauguration of the
Nazione Armata was inducted with suitable honours.
General Garibaldi was repeatedly called for by the
crowd without, and from the balcony gave utter-
ance to his respect for the Piedmontese people,
who had for so many years, in good faith and con-
stancy, nourished the flame of Italian liberty.
Much, he said, hail been done, but more remained
to do. After bestowing enthusiastic enconiums on
their Sovereign, he concluded by saying that his
sword was for Italy, and that he had never
intended to lay it aside until she were free—utterly
free. It may be observed that the scheme of
of the Nazione Armata assumes consistency, for it
is now generally believed that it has the support
of Government, and that the Minister Ratazzi is
the promoter, as the tenets of the society are
fully based upon the principles of the extreme
left. An instance of the King's partiality for this
Minister is evinced in the magnificent New-Year's.
gift which he has bestowed upon him, of a gold
cup of beautiful workmanship, richly encircled
with brilliants. Garibaldi was also favoured
with a present of six brace of pheasants from
the King, shot by his Majesty, and which en-
riched the banquet. These:little incidents have some
significance at this moment. An ovation to Gari-
baldi took place last night from the students. In
reply, the veteran observed that this demonstration
from the youth was of moment, as he foresaw that
the day was not distant when he should need the
proof on the battle-field. There was also a meeting
last night of the Parliamentary Committee with the
committee of the Nazione Armata, presided over by
Garibaldi, but they could not come to terms, and
no combination whatever was agreed upon.
Dictator Farini has directed that 10,000 muskets
shall be placed at the disposal of the various muni-
cipalities of Central Italy, in order to complete the
armament of the National Guard.

TREATIES OF GUARANTEE.—A Parliamentary,
paper of GO pages, yesterday published by command, con-
tains certain so-called " treaties of guarantee," in which
England is mixed up with various foreign States. These
treaties refer to the separation of Holland and Belgium and
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, &c. (1839) ; the sove-
reignty of Greece (1830, 1833) ; to alliances between this
country and Portugal (1373, 1815) ; cessions made by the
King of Saxony to his Royal brother of Prussia • the neu••
trality of Savoy, Cheblais, and Faucigny (1815, 1819) ; a
treaty of Great Britain with Sweden and France (1855) ; a
declaration of eight Powers on the independence of Switzer-
land (1815) ; the treaties with Turkey after the late war
with Russia (1855, 1856) ; extracts from treaties relative to
Moldavia, Wallachia, and Sorvia (1856, 1858) ; and a con-
vention with the United States of America for the estab-
lishment of a ship canal between the two oceans (April,
1850). There is no treaty relating to Italy or "guaran-
teeing" the existing, or rather the late established order of
government in that peninanis
