FOREIGN NOTES.

aARIBALDI'S MOVEMENTS.

GatitAldi, on joining his followers, issuediusi,..ucrioni
to them. He told them that the time was not yet come
for them to operate on a fixed base, since doing so would
enable the Romans to concentrate their troops in over-
whelming numbers on a given point. He adds : "In order
to disconcert the little army of the Pope, we must
abandon the frontier line, and overrun somehow
the whole of the Papal territory ; cut the telegraphs and
the railways; intercept communications with Rome for

Large cletachnicuts ; take convoys of provisions, munitions,

and pris,7,ners ; strike sudden blows upon small detach-
ments ; constantly keep the Papal troops on the qui vitt
in order to fatigue them, until the decisive moment comes

when we be able to strike a great blow. We must
er.tablieh a point of meeting in case of a reverse. For the
first few days that point must be upon Italian ter.itorr
When we are established within the Papal territory it will
be easy enough to arrange a fixed point and signals.
So' hers must always carry three days' supply o[ bread,
1111,, as far as possible, have their flasks always full."
On the 27th, the day after. the battle of Monte
Rotondo, Garibaldi issued an order of the day an.
flouncing the capture of 300 prisoners, 2 brow-A
cannon, a quantity of arms and ammunition, and
50 dragoon and artillery horses—" the trophies avhich
the brave volunteers offer to Italy as the pledge of its happy
and free future." He added : "Our fathers, the Romans

conquered the world by bravery and discipline. Of bravery

the volunteers have already given proof ; discipline alO
is indispensable—without it no military body of any :sort
can exist." The following day, writing from Carina di
San-Colombo, he issued the following address to

the Romans :—" Brothers of
_Rome, after having

conquered the enemy we are in sight of old mothe;
Rome. A few miles only separate us. In
few days the indomitable soldiers of liberty will
rapidly traverse that distance in order to give OA last
blow to a tyranny which has oppressed us for c•turies.
Hold yourselves ready for the supreme trial ; prepare to
got rid of the sbirri by all possible means ; that is the
right of the slave. This time it is you who will give to
the world a new era, the commencement of liberty and
progress."
On the 28th Garibaldi had his headquarters at the Inn
San-Colombo, about nine miles beyond Monte Rotondo.
The advanced posts were about two-and-a-half miles from
the city. The Garibaldians wounded at the battle of
Monte Rotondo were being tended at Passe Corresa. During
the battle three priests fired upon the assailants, and when
the garrison surrendered,Garibaldi interfered personally in
order to save their lives. When the prisoners were sent
away on parole they were presented with £24 which hr 4
been subscribed among the volunteers. From the above-
mentioned inn Garibaldi wrote to the Central Committee
at Florence : "Dear friends, after the attack and the
capture of Monte Rotondo we pushed on to within six
miles of Rome, where we now find ourselves. We have
no news of the enemy. If the French expedition is true,
I hope to see all Italians do their duty."
On the 29th Garibaldi quitted Santo Colombo and advanced
to Castel-Giubileo. This is a large farm adjoining the
Villa Spada, and is situated upon a hill, defended in the
rear by the Tiber. It commands a main road. and is, in
fact, a very important position. A correspondent of the
Liberte, who had been with Garibaldi for some time,
declares that the provisions for the Italian army con-
tinued to arrive at the quarters of the Garibaldians,
for which the latter ostensibly paid. Although there had
been no breach of discipline on the part of the troops, it was
very questionable if they would fight against Garibaldi.
The Garibaldian General Sante and all his staff openly
left Terni in an omnibi s for the Papal territory, although
the Italian General Ricotti was in the same place. These
movements, however, took place before the recent order
for closing the insurrectionary committees, and it is pro-
bable that since then the Italian commanders have shewn
more decision. At Milan the troops have openly sub-
scribed to the insurrection fund.
THE ENTRY OF THE FRENCH TROOPS INTO
ROME.

The Rome correspondent of the Etendard, writing on
-he 30th, says the French troops entered Rome at five that
evening. He does not confirm the account of " lively accla.
mations" which the romance-loving Moniteur spoke of. On
the contrary,' he writes : "To say that their arrival was
viewed here with satisfaction by the Party of Action,
would be a lie." The Pope seems to have been much
pleased ; but as to the people, they seem to have maintained

that profound silence which was reported by the corre-
spondent of the Times. It was supposed that in two or
three days the division would be able to enter upon a
regular campaign against the Garibaldians. On the entry
of the French, some Garibaldians who occupied a
position close to the city abandoned it. The
Pontifical troops reoccupied Albano. On the morn-
ing of the 30th the Rome correspondent of the Eten-
dard visited the Garibaldian position. Re found about a
thousand of them clothed in the traditional costume—the
red shirt—and several officers, whose horses were tied to
trees, or grazing. It was supposed that Garibaldi him-
self was there. Three hours before two Papal officers had
killed with revolvers two Garibaldian officers during a
reconnaissance which the first were making. The number
of wounded at Monte Rotondo was believed to be no fewer
than 600.

The Rome correspondent of the Liberty says that the
French troops issued from the railway station amid an
"icy silence." There was no demonstration of any kind,
and the soldiers at once marched to the quarters which had
been prepared for them. Shortly afterwards there was
affixed to the walls General de Failly's address to the
Roman people,with which the telegrams have already made
us familiar. It was read with silent rage by the Party of
Action. But the correspondent has no patience either
with the Romans or the Italian Government. The first
he stigmatises as utter cowards, who have not moved hand
or foot in order to secure their freedom; the second he
thinks should have waited until the dean of Pius IX.
The pear would then have been ripe.
A correspondent of the Libertd declares that Rattazzi
had ordered the Italian fleet to prevent the debarcation
of the French troops at Civita Vecchia, but when he fell
the order fell too, or there would have been a second and
more disastrous battle of Lissa.
DISORDERS AT TURIN.

There has been something very like an insurrection at
Turin. The first news we had of it was a reference to it
in the Ilfoniteur, where it was described as an unimportant
demonstration. This is what actually happened. About
25,000 persons assembled in the streets, and traversed the
city, crying "Garibaldi for ever ! " "Rome for capital !"
"No intervention !" "Down with the King !" "Theßepublic
for ever !" The royal arms were torn down from the pub•
lie places, and an attempt was made to break the statues
of the King and the Duke of Genoa, his nephew, at the
Hotel do Ville, but the National Guard prevented. The
crowd then marched to the house of the French Consul
and smashed his windows. It was arranged to burn the
King in effigy, but this part of the programme was for
some reason not carried out. Similar demonstrations
occurred at Milan. Strange to say, four of the principal
cities of Italy are at this critical Vane without any pre.
fects—Florence, Naples, Palermo, and Turin.
According to the Liberte Prince Humbert is not in
accord with his father upon the Roman question. The
heir to the Crown of Italy is said to wish an understanding
with France, and to have refused the command of the
Italian army. This statement is directly at variance with
one made a few days ago, which represented the Prince
as greatly dissatisfied with the irresolution displayed by
his father.

A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian describes
the intense unpopularity of Victor Emmanuel. He
scarcely dares to shew himself in public now. He has
neither dignity nor decorum, and abdication is no longer
merely whispered, but is openly talked about.
