The whole of the officers and men of the British
Italian Legion have been disbanded; with the exception
of a small number who have claimed a passage'to Ca-
nada under the terms of their enlistment, and a portion
who, from their known liberal opinions, have been
refused passports to re-enter the Italian States to which
they belong. When every exertion to gain permission
for their return to their homes bad failed they were
shipped on board the transport Tudor for Liverpool en,
mate for America. Same had left wives and families
behind them, and they left Malta with sorrowful hearts.
While the vessel was off the coast of Sicily, an officer
named Anghera, who bad latterly shown symptoms of
unsound mind, endeavoured to induce the men to run
the ship on shore, in some wild hopes of exciting an out-
break and eventually returning to Italy. The attempt
proved a failure, the men wisely preterring to try their
fortune in America. The officer was confined, and an
examination will take place into all the circumstances
before the men sail for the New World. The Argentine
Government, having an immense extent of fertile land
on the banks of the Parana, are desirous to induce these
men to settle in that country as cultivators of the soil.
The climate is similar to that of Italy. .Tbe land pro-
duns abundant crops of wheat, Indian corn, tobacco;
and rice. The orange, peach, walnut, and mulberry grow
luxuriantly. In order to insure success, the Argentine
Government offer them agricultural imp'emeuts, seeds,
cattle, and 12,000 acres of arable land, besides a league
and a half square of pasturage for their stook. On the
men arriving in England these terms will be laid before
them by the agent of the Confederation. Meanwhile, till
shipping can be provided to convey them to their desti-
nation, they will be placed in small barracks within a
shoat distance of Liverpool, and in a few days will be
finally paid off and set sail for their new homes in the
New World.
