BERLIN, MAY 23.
The Prussian Chambers were closed to-day by
the Prince Regent, who in his speech said :
" Government is most seriously endeavouring to
bring about such solutions of the questions which
at present engage the attention of the European
Cabinets as will be adequate to the maintenance of
the political equilibrium.
" The principles which guide the Government in
its relations with the German Confederation and
the German Diet, in regard to the present
highly important affairs, have been explained
during this session. The Government also will, in
future, adhere to these principles, and will con-
tinue to regard the maintenance of the recog-
nised rights of others as necessary for the mainte-
nance of its own rights.
" Notwithstanding the difference of opinion ex-
isting in reference to important questions, in one
feeling all the German Governments and people
are unanimous with myself and the Prussian
people, that is, in unskaken fidelity to the
common fatherland, and in the strong conviction
that the independence of the nation, and the integ-
rity of the national territory, are matters of import-
ance, before which all internal affairs and dissen-
sions far recede."

The continuation of his Royal Highness's speech
treated of questions respecting the interior.

ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 24.

Prince Gortschakoff has sent instructions to the
Russian representatives at the Courts of the Great
Powers, explaining why the Turkish Ambassador
was not invited with the Ambassadors of Austria,
France, Great Britain, and Prussia, to receive
the proposals of Russia relative to an inquiry into
the condition of the Christians in Turkey.
Prince Gortschakoff says :

" The condition of the Christians in the Turkish
Empire is a question of general interest reserved
for the consideration of a European Conference,
which for nearly 50 years has consisted of the
five great Powers exclusively, among which Tur-
key is not included.

"If it had been necessary to call the representative
of the Porte to this assembly of t.h© Ambassadors,
because she signed the treaty of the 30th March,
185 G, the same claim could have been made by Sar-
dinia, whose participation in the negotiations in
question would have been opposed by Austria, and
it was therefore necessary to exclude the Porte, in
order to avoid the admission of Piedmont, and to
confine the deliberation to the great Powers only.

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION.
From private letters from Sicily we have col-
lected some further details of Garibaldi's expedition.
As soon as Garibaldi had landed at Marsala he
issued a proclamation commencing with the magic
words, "Victor Emmanuel reigning." The town
at the time of Garibaldi's arrival was occupied by
only a few custom house soldiers and veterans, who
gave up their arms without resistance. The
courageous band having put their artillery in pro-
per order, a reconnoitering party was sent on in
the direction of Salemi. It appears that this town
was then occupied by two companies of the 17th
Neapolitan infantry regiment, which on getting
wind of what had happened at Marsala took to their
heels with all possible speed. They fell back on Maz-
zara, where the rest of the regiment was quartered.
This news was brought to Garibaldi by the Sicilian
patriots just as he had begun his forward move-
ment in the direction of Salemi. According to the
statement which was current at Naples it was near
Corleone that Garibaldi met the first resistance.
But the Neapolitan Tegialeut above mentioned and
