INCIDENTS OF THE WAR IN SICILY.

GARIBALDI'S ARMY.

A letter from Messina says :—" The morale of
the army is admirable. When off duty the soldiers
are always in spirits. They have not much to eat or
to drink, but they keep singing away from morning
to night. They are drilled for three hours every
morning, and again for two hours in the evening,
and not a word of complaint do you ever hear.
After the evening drill you see everywhere knots
of volunteers, parties of 20, 30, and 40, singing in
chorus their native Tuscan or Lombard songs, or,
stretched out on the ground, chattering about their
past adventures in the campaign, until at length,
tired with their songs and gossip, they go soundly
off to sleep, to be awakened again by the morning
drum."

THE NATIONAL GUARD AT MESSINA.

Yesterday evening (the 7th) there was a review
of the first class of the National Guard—namely,
of those who, if required, will march and serve with
the regular army. It was not very numerous, but
the numbers are likely to be increased before long.
Garibaldi addressed the young soldiers and the
assembled spectators, saying " that the Sicilian Go-
vernment had been hitherto, and was still at pre-
sent, a Provisional Government, and that before
long it would become definitively united with that
of the King Honest-man'—that he would shortly
leave Sicily in order to carry out other
missions—that he felt immense regret at
being compelled to leave them—that he
thanked all from the bottom of his heart
for all that they had done for him." Whilst thus
expressing his gratitude, he strongly urged on all
the necessity of arming, and implored them to
unite as one compact mass to preserve the freedom
which they had obtained. " They must arm," he
said, "to drive out for ever from Italy—their
beloved mother country—the stranger who had
tyrannised over her." He informed them that
France, by her diplomatic agents, was using every
effort to prevent the formation of a united Italy,
but that the word of France was nowhere believed.
" And I know right well, exclaimed he, " its real
worth." These mysterious words, this declaration,
that before long Sicily will be annexed to, or
governed by, the " King Honest-man," has given
rise to much speculation among the volunteers.

GARIBALDI AND VICTOR EMMANUEL.

The frigate Carlo Alberto (says a letter dated
Messina, Aug. 7) has arrived in the harbour of
Messina, and her commander is said to be the
bearer of a letter from King Victor Emmanuel to
Garibaldi counselling him not to attack the main-
land. Such a counsel to Garibaldi at the present
moment, whether coming from Ministers or
Monarch, is a mere throwing of water on a duck's
back. The commander of the frigate requested
an audience with Garibaldi, and was informed that
the latter would see him, but only for a single
minutq—not a second more ; so overwhelmed was
he with business. And the audience lasted exactly
that time.

TILE GARIBALDIANS AT MESSINA.

The number of troops, says a correspondent,
which Garibaldi possesses at Messina might be
reckoned now at about 20,000 men. The
whole city is swarming with soldiers. From
morning to night the streets are echoing the music
of the bands, as they keep playing before the dif-
ferent regiments, either on their march to the bar-
racks, or to their quarters outside the city—drums
and trumpets calling the men, now to parade, now
to their meals, now to receive their (very insignifi-
cant) pay. To give you any idea of the dress of
the army is beyond my powers, for it may be truly
said that it wears "a coat of many colours ;" in-
deed, if the honest truth be told, it is sometimes
seen without any coat at all. Nay, I must go even
further, for amongst these military costumes I ob-
served yesterday, as a battalion was marching past,
one company of which the soldiers had neither
shoes nor, in most cases, more than half a shirt ;

neither cap nor hat of any kind, their entire equip-
ment consisting of their trousers and their musket.
And- yet, though Falstaff would not have marched
through Coventry with them, the chances are ten
to one that Garibaldi will march with them into
Naples !

GARIBALDI'S AIDE-DE-CAMP IN TILE

CITY.

Last evening a very large number of gentlemen,
members and friends of the City of London Trades-
men's Club, assembled at Salter's Hotel, formerly
known as the King's Arms, Snow-hill, to meet Cap-
tain E. Styles, an English officer attached to
General Garibaldi's Staff, who has come to Eng-
land for the purpose of obtaining material aid for
the General.
Mr. TURNER occupied the chair.
Dr. Ross welcomed Captain Styles in their com-
pany. Addressing him, he said, that this club had
expressed its sympathy with the movement of his
General, and heartily desired that it might come
to a prosperous issue. It was their design to call
a public meeting in the city, and he hoped it would
have the effect of awakening public attention
throughout the country at large to the subject.
Mr. A. B. RICHARDS was
,then requested to
explain the object of Captain Styles's visit. It
would not be doubted, he said, that General
Garibaldi's object was to free Italy from
one end to the other, and his friend Captain
Styles was anxious to get back to take part in the
next combat. He would, however, come to the
practical point. The General was most anxious to
get some Englishmen aronnd him, and for this
purpose Captain Styles had come to England,
where, in three days, 500 men had put down their
names to join the battalion. To equip an English
battalion money was wanted, and it was essential
that any money collected in England should be
strictly devoted to that purpose. (Cheers.)
Captain STYLES, the aide-de-camp of General
Garibaldi, then rose to address the club, and was
loudly cheered. He was very much pleased with
the enthusiastic reception which he had met. He
had been deputed by General Garibaldi to collect a
battalion of English volunteers. It was well known
that he had already a noble English officer in his
service, and there were eight or ten Englishmen in
the ranks, and the General much admired the valour
which they had displayed. He was happy to say
that in three days he had collected 500 volunteers,
many of them of the highest respectability—some
of independent means ; and R hile he had been
compelled to take some of the lower class as
servants, yet with those he had received characters
of high respectability. His object was to raise a
battalion of at least 800 men ; but he did not wish
to take them empty. All the money and ammuni-
tion which General Garibaldi had at his command
he required for the troops he had with him. He
Tante d, therefore, to collect sufficient to equip the
English battalion, and when he reached Garibaldi
to say, " Here we are, ready to fight." (Loud
applause).
Mr. W. LAWLEY proposed "The Health of Capt.
Styles," which was enthusiastically received, and
the captain, who appeared in uniform, responded.
" Sac'.ess to Garibaldi and freedom to Italy,"
proposed by Mr. G. WALTER, was the concluding
sentiment of the evening, and received with tre-
mendous enthusiasm, after which the meeting
adjourned.

WOMAN'S HEART.—But who knows not that a
woman's heart feels its fullest occupation within itself ?
There lies its real study, and within that narrow orbit, the
mirror of enchanted thought reflects the whole range of
earth,

SARDINIA.

The following circular appears in the Official
Journal of the 14th inst.:--

" TURIN, AUGUST 13.
"The Sicilians having risen three months ago for
the conquest of their liberty, and General Garibaldi
with a few brave men having gone to their aid,
Europe was filled with the fame of his victories :
all Italy was moved, and great was the enthusiasm
in this kingdom, where the institutions and habits
of freedom offer no impediment to the manifestation
of public sentiment. Hence the generous subscrip-
tions and the great number of volunteers that have
gone to Sicily.

"If in less disturbed times people were praised for
giving sympathy and aid for the liberation of foreign
nations, and if governments, in obedience, let us say,
to the universal feeling, where they could not openly
favour, yet allowed succour to be given to America,
Greece, Portugal, and Spain, which fought for in-
dependence and liberty, it may be trusted that civi-
lised Europe will judge fairly and temperately of
the measures of the King's Government on the occa-
sion of this irresistible national movement. Now,
Sicily has come into a condition to express freely her
own wishes, and the King's Government, which has
to guard all the constitutional prerogatives of the
Crown and Parliament, and has also to fulfil that
duty of supreme moderation in respect of the na-
tional movement which belongs to it, both by the
proofs it has given and by the public consent, regard
it as a duty to moderate all irregular action, and to
check the illegitimate interference in affairs of state
of any who have not the weighty constitutional and
moral responsibility which it (the Government)
owes to the Crown, the Parliament, and the nation.
Otherwise it might happen that, through the
counsels and actions of those who have neither
warrant nor public responsibility, the State should
be endangered, and the fortune of Italy damaged.
And since in free States civil order and discipline
depend less on the rigour of the law than on public
opinion, the undersigned requests you to give the
greatest possible publicity to this circular letter.
" The undersigned has many times given warning
that it cannot and will not be tolerated, that pre-
parations of violence against neighbouring Govern-
ments should be made, and has ordered that they
should be prevented at all cost. He hopes that
public opinion is sufficient to check inconsiderate
impulses, but at all events he trusts in the civil and
military authorities for the prompt execution of
the orders he has given. He enjoins, however,
afresh that those should be sought out with still
greater diligence, and punished with all legal se-
verity, who, conspiring and trafficking to the injury
of the national honour and military discipline, be-
come aiders and abettors of desertions.

" And since the undersigned has to carry out the
laws regarding the National Guard, and to pre-
pare the formation of bodies composed of volun-
teers of the National Guard as the laws enable, it
will not be permitted that others should procure
and assemble volunteers in any other manner.
"In conclusion, the undersigned must declare
that if the King's Government is constant in its
desire to accept the loyal concurrence of all the
political parties that aim at the liberty, union, and
greatness of the country, it is also firm in its in-
tention not to let itself be superseded by any one
who has not from the King and the nation the
warrant and responsibility of the Government.
Italy ought to belong and must belong to the
Italians, and not the cliques. " FARINI."
