GARIBALDI.

The Siecle states that the accounts of Garibaldi's
subscription are more and more encouraging, and
that an enormous number of communal votes in its
favour are coming in. Correggio, in the duchy of
Modena, is down for 2,000 f., Parma for 10,000 f., &e.
Garibaldi writes to M. La Farina as follows, to
say that he accepts the presidentship of the Italian
National Society :
My dear La Farina,—lt is with real pleasure
that I have seen your noble resolution to re-esta-
blish the Italian National Society, which has done
so much for the ceuntry's cause under your auspices
and those of the illustrious veteran of the Spiel-
berg. lam very sorry at not seeing the president-
ship of the association given to that venerable man
so dear to all—to our Pallasicino ; but if for some
reason that we are bound to respect he cannot take
this office, I shall willingly and gratefully do so.
It cost Greece six years of misfortunes and con-
test to gain her independence. America had to fight
for 14 years. Those valiant nations obtained the
support of civilised powers, after having deserved
it by their constancy. Our struggle for deliver-
ance hardly reckons a few months, and already we
have the support and sympathy of all Europe. We
shall have the same constancy. So long as a foot of
Italian ground remains to be delivered, we will not
lay down our arras.—Adieu. Yours,"GARIBALDI.

The following has been issued by General Gari-
baldi, and is in circulation amongst the Neapoli-
tans :

"To our brothers of Naples !—Brothers !—We
have combated the Austrians ; we have fought these
insolent oppressors of Italy, and we have beaten
them. We hive seen them run like rabbits before our
young soldiers ; we have seen them fly in terror, and
beg their lives of those whose brothers, parents and
friends they had basely assassinated. We have seen
them fly like cowards before the sons of those whom
they barbarously scourged or butchered at their
pleasure • we have seen them fly, the vile miscreants,
before the comrades of Ugo Bassi, Civeaghi, Cicer-
nacchio, and ask their lives v, ith a baseness unmis-
takeably Austrian ; and yet of those who surren-
dered or who were wounded the Italians did not
kill a single one.
" Brothers ! we have fought as Italians fight
when they are united, and you were not with us.
In the ranks of the conquerors there wero Italians
of all the provinces, but of Naples there were few.
The shout of victory was heard in every dialect
except yours, and yet—we knew it--your hearts
beat high in the cause of your country. You felt
oar dangers and fatigues, and your hearts exulted
at the announcement of our victories. Yes, exulted
in spite of the abominable tyranny which crushes
and degrades you; it felt its overthrow by the vic-
tory of the Italians.
" You were not with us in the body, but your
goodwill was there, we are certain ; but this time,
at least, you will be with us in both. Yes ; Pro-
vidence has decreed the union and alliance of our
family—of this poor Italian family. Foreigners,
doctrinaires, and priests labour in vain. In vain
they seek to sow discord, to excite mistrust in the
public mind, to corrupt this hapless people, whom
they have divided so often, and so often sold to the
stranger. In vain • our brothers of the south have
clasped the hands Of our brothers of the centre and
of the north ; the sons of the Procidas, the Mas-
aniellos, the Pepes, have grasped the victorious
right hand of the soldiers of Palestro and San
Martino. " G. GARIBALDI.
