GARIBALDI.

The Gazette de _Liege publishes the following
document. It purports to be a set of instructions
addressed by Garibaldi to the chiefs of the " Na-
tional Society of Italy" in the different Italian
States :
" To THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF ITALY.

" In the present state of Italian affairs the presi-
dent considers it his duty to transmit to the society
the following secret instructions :
" 1. No sooner have hostilities commenced be-
tween Piedmont and Austria than you will at once
rise in insurrection to the cry of Vira l'ltalia e
Vittorio Emmanuele—Out with the Austrians V
" 2. If insurrection should be impossible in your
own town, all young men able to bear arms will
leave it, and proceed to the nearest town where
insurrection has been already successful, or is
likely to be so. Among neighbouring towns you
will choose those nearest to Piedmont, where all
Italian forces should be concentrated.
" 3. You will make every effort to vanquish and
disorganise the Austrian army, intercepting its
communications, destroying its bridges and tele-
graphs, burning all depots of provisions or clothing,
and making prisoners of all important persons in
the Austrian service.
" 4. Do not at first fire on Italian or Hungarian
soldiers, but, on the contrary, endeavour to induce
them to follow yOur own flag, and receive with
open arms all .who give way to your exhortations.
"5. Regular troops, who will embarrass the
national cause will be at once sent into Piedmont.
" 6. Wherever the insurrection is successful the
man who stands higiiest in the popular estimation
will assume military and civil authority, with the
title of Provisional Commissioner for King Victor
Emmanuel, and will maintain it until the arrival
of the Commissioner despatched by the Piedmon-
tese Government. _ _

" 7. The Provisional Commissioner will abolish
the taxes on bread, corn, &c., and in general all
taxes which do not exist in Sardinian territory.

"8. A levy will at once be made, by means of
c,nscription, of young men from 18 to 20 years of
age, in the proportion of 10 to 1,000 of the gross
population. All men also, from 20 to 35, willing
to bear arms in defence Of the national indepen-
dence, may be received as volunteers, both con-
scripts and volunteers being at once despatched to
Piedmont.

"9. The Provisional Commissioner will appoint
a council of war, with power to try and punish,
within 24 hours, all who may be guilty of crimes
against the national causes, or against the life or
property of pacific citizens. The council will make
no distinctions of rank or class, but no person may
be punished for crimes committed anterior to the
insurrection.
" 10. He will not allow of the establishment of
political journals, but he will publish a bulletin of
all facts which it is necessary to make public.
" 11. He will dismiss from their posts all magis-
trates or officers who may be opposed to the new
order of things, always proceeding with prudence
axd caution .

" 12. He will maintain the severest discipline,
applying to all the laws suitable during a time of
war. He will be inexorable to deserters, and will
g'Te the strictest orders on this subject to all his
subordinates.
" 13. He will send to King Victor Emmanuel a
precise description of the arms, ammunition, and
money found in the various towns and provinces,
and he will await commands on this subject.
" 14. In ease of necessity he will make requisi-
tions for money, horses, carts, shops, &c., always
giving a corresponding receipt ; but he will punish
with the utmost rigour all who shall make requisi-
tions of this kind without the most pressing neces-
sity, or without making a definite contract.
" 15. Until the time referred to in the first article
of these instructions you will use every means in
your power for manifesting the aversion which
Italy feels for the Austrian domination and for the
Governments dependent on Austria, as well as her
love for independence and her confidence in the
House of Savoy and the Piedmontese Government ;
but you will do all in your power to prevent un-
timely or isolated movements.

" MAJORITY" OF THE EARL OF COVENTRY.—For
16 years the title of the Earl of Coventry has been held by
a minor, and during the whole of that period the family
property in Worcestershire and elsewhere has been accu-
mulating. The young lord came of age on Monday last,
and the event was celebrated by festivities on the largest
scale ever before known in the district. His lordship's
tenantry met at Croome [louse, the family seat, about six
miles from Worcester, where an address was presented and
suitably acknowledged. The greater Rat of the visitors then
attended divine service at the parish church, after which a
dinner was given to the cottagers and others on the estate,
numbering upwards of a thousand. His lordship afterwards
invited the tenantry to dine with him, arid in the meantime
the park and grounds were filled by thousands upon thou-
sands of visitors from all parts of the country who partici-
pated in rustic sports until night. At Worcester there
was a general holiday and a public dinner at the Guildhall,
which was attended by Lord Lyttelton, Lord Beauchamp,
the high sheriff of the county, the sheriff of the city, &c.
Of course the health of the Earl of Coventry was rap-
turously received here and at Croome, and the festivities
were prolonged until a late hour. Yesterday (Tuesday)
there was another public dinner at Pershore, in the midst of
the Coventry property, and also a feast for the poor, with
rustic games, and othor entertainments. To-night his lord-
ship gives a ball to the tenantry and their friends, and the
festivities will not be closed until the end of the week. There
has been no such public celebration in Worcestershire within
the recollection of the oldest inhabitant, the Coventry name
being vely much respected in the county.
