The Garibaldini.

VESTONE, July 6.—Whilst events of so much
greater importance and interest are occurring in
other parts of Europe, it is difficult for a person
here to believe that the movements of an irregular
force, however numerous, can attract the attention
of readers in England, nor indeed could it do so
unless its composition were quite different to that of
ordinary bands destined for guerilla warfare. It is
the glory of Garibaldi's name, and the fact that the
noblest families in Italy deem it an honour to sacri-
fice their position in order to fight under his flag
for the redemption of their country that render
this eminently constitutional, though ill-organised
army worthy of the admiration of our countrymen.
Since this volunteer force has come more into the
calculation of the generals who settle the plan of the
whole campaign, the restrictions in respect to those
who, like the present writer, are anxious to see the
redshirts pierce their way into the Tyrol have be-
come very severe, and the few who have been so
fortunate as to procure a pass previously have no
reason to complain of lack of opportunities for show-
ing it. La Marmora, not content with ejecting all
strangers from the camp of the regular army, has
gone far toward doing the same thing among the
Garibaldini. The place named at the head of this
letter is a village situated on the left bank of the
Chiese, and nearly midway between Salo and the
position of the Garabaldini at Monte Suello,
Caffaro, and Bagolino. I had purposed to go on at
once to the Rocca d'Anfo, but the reports which
reached me from all comers of the extreme naked-
ness of the land determined me to rest for one night
at least in quarters where I am promised nothing
less than trout and cutlets—a perfect banquet after
the thin " minestra " and half-baked bread of Salo.
At Salo a hungry man, no matter whether his purse
be full or empty, is now in a very helpless state.
The hotel and cafe keepers have been worked off
their legs. Morning, noon, and night, one stream
of ravenous Garibaldini pours into their rooms, until
at last some, dead beat, and every particle of food
consumed, have been compelled to close their doors,
in order to snatch a brief, and assuredly a troubled
repose. The rumour which has prevailed during
the last few days that Austria was about to cede
Venice to Italy at the instance of France has, I am
bound to state, been received with marked disfavour.
What the Italians desire beyond Venetia they them-
selves apparently are unable clearly to express ; but
there can be no doubt that, combined with a thirst
for vengeance, there is a feeling that after such great
preparations and so much assertion there would be
something almost discreditable in obtaining their
end without fighting for every inch of the ground.
Had the Austrians gained a similar victory in Ger-
many to that which opened the campaign in Italy
less would have been heard of this stern and indo-
mitable resolve ; as matters stand, however, with the
Prussians in the heart of Bohemia, it is not sur-
prising
determination to free the country from the A ps t o
prining that the Italians should proclaim aloud their
the Adriatic, without any further foreign interven•
tion even of a peaceable kind.

attended with enormous difficulty and danger.
From what I hear • •
i•t is unlikely that any important
attack will be at
made present, butthat acontinuous
system of outpost warfare will be kept up in order
to prepare the troops for that stiffer work which
they have before them. I have been particularly
requested by some of the Italian officers who were

present to mention the extraordinary gallantry dis-
played by our countryman, Mr. Bullock, in the late
affair at Monte Suello ; he assisted in rescuing the

wounded under the very hottest fire, and continued
his exertions in the most noble manner for upwards

of two hours. It is most gratifying to an English-
man to hear the enthusiastic way in which all speak
of his conduct. The volunteers who were engaged

had marched many miles before they came up to the
attack, and this will probably account for the fact
that the result of the action was not so favourable

-- -
as, under other circumstances, it would have been ;
the Garibaldini hold now the position of the enemy.
The order of the day is laconic enough :—" The
enemy is in retreat ; our men occupy Monte Snell°,
Caffaro, and Bagolino. G. GARIBALDI." pail
