ITALIAN AFFAIRS.

The Marquis of NORMANBY wished to say a few
words to remove an unpleasant feeling that might exist in
the minds of several gentlemen who bad honoured him by
corresponding with him. He begged to assure the house
that those correspondents were as well worthy of
belief as any noble lord who sat in that house,
or the noble and leaned lord (Brougham) himself.
The statements that he had made to the house on former
occasions had been entirely confirmed, but the reason the
public bad not been made acquainted with them was owing
to one of the newspapers, takiag their view of affairs, hav-
ing been bought up by the Provisional Government
of Florence. In the observations that fell from
him on Friday last he did not charge General Garibaldi
with any of those excesses which had of late been com-
mitted.
Lord BROUGHAM said, from what ho had heard from
the noble marquis, it did not, in the slightest manner, add I
any additional value, in his estimation, to the facts the
noble lord had front time to time detail' to their lordships.
(Hear, hear.) He (Lord Brougham) had also the honour
to have correspondence from Florence, and his information
was diametrically opposed to that of the noble marquis.
(Hear, and laughter.) He knew the noble marquis would
not attach any more importance to his information thanhe
did to his. (Laughter.) He was glad to hear from the
noble lord that he did not impute to Gen. Garibaldi any of
those excesses to which he had alluded; but he thought
that he had insinuated that he was in some way to blame
for moving them. He was in a position to deny that Gen.
Garibaldi had been guilty of or had countenanced for a
moment any of those practices which had been attributed
to him, or that he had ever sanctioned any of those acts of
atrocities which had occurred. He rejoiced at the
success which had attended the efforts of Gen. Garibaldi,
and he had his earnest prayers for continued success, and
that his efforts might be crowned by the deposition of the
detestable tyrant of Naples. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
The Marquis of NO ItMANBY reiterrted the statements
he had made as to the Provisional Government haviLig
gagged the press for ten days.
Lord BROUGHAM denied that General Garibaldi was
in any way answerable for any of those irregularities to
which the noble marquis had referred. He again expressed
his ardent wish to see the tyrant of Naples, who had caused
so mucn misery and desolation, banished from his throne.
(Cheers.)
Lord WODEHOUSE said it had been represented that
he, on Friday last, said that they had been unable to
trace any connivance on the part of General Garibaldi in
those atrocities which had taken place. This made it ap-
pear that there was a probability or doubt that that
gallant geeneral had connived, but that such had not been
proved to be the case. Now, he wished to state most dis-
tinctly that, from positive information received by the Go-
vernment, it appeared that General Garibaldi had not only
prohibited those occurrences, but had adopted the most
severe and stringent measures to prevent them, and that all
his actions had been characterised by generosity and mode-
ration. (Hear, hear.)
The conversation then dropped.
