King the railway carriage, and obtained the
assurance that everything should be done for his
army. As soon as the reception was over, he went
to the Hotel d'Angleterre, on the Chiaja, giving at
the same time orders to embark his things on board
the Washington. He hoped to be able to give up
the Dictatorship the same day, and embark on
Thursday morning. But in the evening a message
came from the King that the formality should take
place next morning at 11 a.m. Both that and the
next day the Hotel d'Angleterre swarmed with
people who wished to see Garibaldi ; in vain were
orders issued to the porter to deny Garibaldi's pre-
sence and not let any one go upstairs. The rooms
were always full and remained so till late at night.
Next morning, just before going to the palace, a
little scene occurred in Garibaldi's rooms which I
should not mention were it not that there will pro-
bably be attempts made to misrepresent it. The
Ministers, together with the two Pro-Dictators,
Pallavicini and Mordini, went to the Hotel d'Angle-
terre to fetch Garibaldi to the palace; Pallavicini
was wearing the Grand Cross of the Order of the
Annunziata, and Mordini was not. Garibaldi
thought that an invidious distinction had been made
between the Pro-Dictators, which was meant at the
same time as an insult to him. He allowed himself
to be carried away by his feelings, and Pallavicini
left. A moment after a letter arrived which ought
to have reached before ; in it Pallavicini explained
his awkward position. Mordini had refused the
decoration, and he could not do so without offending
the King. Garibaldi wrote immediately to Palla-
vicini, frankly confessing his error, and the thing
was arranged.
After the ceremony of the surrender of the Dic-
tatorship, Garibaldi withdrew with the King, and
the King made another attempt to keep him. He
proposed that he should have full powers to reor-
ganise his army in South Italy. Garibaldi thought
he could not use these full powers while the civil
authorities would be there to control him at every
step; besides which he was anxious to keep his
freedom of action, which alone made it possible for
him to do what was done. Giuseppe Garibaldi
could do many things which a Marshal Garibaldi
could not do.
Still the negotitations went on until yesterday
evening. This morning Garibaldi embarked. Al-
though it was before daybreak, and everything had
been done to avoid demonstrations, numbers of
people were there to see him depart. He was more
moved than I, perhaps, ever saw him, when he took
leave of his friends. By a curious coincidence, just
at the moment when the Washington steamed out
the forts began firing their morning salutes in
honour of Victor Emmanuel's presence at Naples.
Nov. 10.
Up to this moment the position of Garibaldi's
army is only fixed in a general way. It is to form
an integral part of the national army, and to be
reorganised on the footing of the Upper Italian
Army. A mixed commission is to examine the title
of every one to his rank and make the necessary
eliminations. It would be, however, desirable that
something certain should be known soon, as the
uncertainty keeps the army in a state of agitation.
The wish is to keep every one if possible, but I am
afraid practically this will be rather difficult, for
there is a strong tendency both in men and officers
towards home.
