THE ARREST OF GARIBALDI.

PARIS, Sept. 24 (Evening).
The Patric of this evening says that a telegram
has been received from Florence, dated yesterday,
announcing that Garibaldi left Arezzo on Sunday
evening, and that his whereabouts was not known.
A telegram received this morning adds that he had
gone to the Papal frontier. Great excitement pre-
vailed in Florence. Orders had been sent to
different quarters to effect his arrest.
The same journal states that great animation
reigns at Toulon in consequence of the news from
Italy. Contradictory rumours are in circulation
there. According to some, there was a question of
sending a squadron of evolution to watch the Roman
coast, and the order for its departure would shortly
be sent to Ajaccio, where Admiral Gueydon i 3 sta-
tioned.

The Minister of War was shortly expected to
arrive at Toulon, and every arrangement had been
made for embarking troops if necessary.
The Patrie adds that it is impossible for it either
to affirm or deny these statements, but it is certain
that several ships are ready to sail, and that th e
transport Intrepide has received orders to arm
immediately.
FLORENCE, Sept. 24.

Garibaldi was arrested yesterday evening at
Sinalunga, near Sienna, by order of the Italian
Government. lie was conveyed by special train to
Florence, and from there to Alessandria.
At the time of his arrest he was preparing to
enter the Papal territory.
Evening.

This evening's Official Gazette says :--
" The agitation by which it has been sought to
impel the country to violate international stipula-
tions, far from calming down, has become stronger
and more audacious. After a frank and decisive
declaration, the Ministry resolved to fulfil its duty
and keep its pledged word. The Ministry had con-
vinced itself of the fact that during the last few days
a large number of volunteers had taken the road to
the frontier, where depots of arms had been made,
and whither other arms accompanied or followed
them. From Florence and Arezzo General Gari-
baldi took the direction of the same frontier by way
of Sinalunga. The object of this movement was
thenceforth only too evident. Action had really
commenced, and therefore there arose for the Go-
vernment the unavoidable necessity either of allow-
ing that treaties should be broken, in violation of
the public faith, the authority of the law, and the
interests of the nation, or of keeping its word, and
maintaining inviolate at any price the majesty of
the law. The Ministry has performed its duty.
Volunteers who were on the road to the Roman
frontier, or had already arrived there, were notified
to return to their homes, and those who refused
were conducted thither. General Garibaldi at
Sinalunga was summoned in the name of the law
to retrace his steps, and, having refused, he was
conducted to Alessandria. Supplies of arms have
also been seized. The Ministry has performed a
painful duty, but it foresaw consequences still more
deplorable had it temporised any longer. The
wisdom of the Italian people, if it did not render
this step less painful, at least made it less difficult.
The Ministry trusts that, through that same pru-
dence, all traces must soon disappear of an agitation
against which the Ministry is guarding, conscious
of its task, which is to sustain the dignity of Italy's
the advantage of the
nplaetdiogne da
twloarrdg,e and to act for

9.5 p.m.

Garibaldi's arrest has caused some excitement.
A large crowd paraded the city this evening shout-
ing " Release Garibaldi !"
The troops were cal'ed out, and tranquillity has
been restored.

THE LATE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN'S PROPERTY.—
"calVioneca, "thatlearn Vienna,"the
mttlementofthe says the Avenir
N'
Emperor Maximilian's
succession offers very great difficulties. The delegate of
the Austrian Emperor, M. de Kraus, and of the King of
the Belgians, M. Tesch, have not been able to come to
terms, and the latter has quitted Vienna without having
succeededin establishing the basis Lf an arrangement. A suit
between two Sovereign families seems inevitable. The
principal question seems to bo whether the Arch-Duchess
Charlotte,widow of the deceased, or the Arch-Duke Charles,
his uncle, shall be recognised as residuary legatee. In re-
ference to the same subject, the Fremdenblatt of Vienna
gives the following details of the last disposition of the Em-
peror Maximilian
His Majesty left two mills. The first
was executed at Miramar shortly before his departure for
Mexico, and was written and signed with his own hand.
The Empress Charlotte was constituted residuary legatee,
souvenirs being left to nearly all the members of the Im-
perial family. All the gifts which the Emperor received in
his childhood are left by this testament to those who had
formerly presented them. The Emperor speaks with touch-
ing gratitude of his mother and the happy influence which
she exercised in the formation of his heart and character.
His wife is also, on his part, the object of tender remem-
brances. The second testament was drawn up at Quere-
taro, not long before the Emperor's execution ; like the
former, it is in his own handwriting. This act was drawn
up under the supposition that the Empress Charlotte had
died in Europe, and the Archduke Charles was named re-
siduary legatee. The other dispositions aro not modified
in any form."
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.—At the annual meet-
ing held at Edinburgh, on Saturday, of the Educa-
tional Institution of Scotland (a body composed of
teachers of all classes), it was unanimously resolved to
approve an overture from the local association of Kirk-
caldy, and to transmit a petition to Parliament in terms
thereof, praying the Legislative body in its wisdom to
devise measures to secure, by making education compul-
sory if necessary, that every child in these realms should
be educated. The suggestions of Mr. Alison, Kirkcaldy,
who brought up the subject, were the following :—" That
a duly-certified extract of the birth of a child should be the
evidence of age; that all children of five years should be
registered; that duo publication of all the children at-
tending school should be made ; that 300 attendances
should be the minimum of a school year; that a fine equal
to the school fee should be imposed on parents neglecting
to send their children ; that continued neglect for three
yeses should bring into play the power of the sheriff's
compulsion ; and that certificates should be granted to
such as carried out the higher branches of education by a
prolonged attendance."
