THE SUN.
SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1859.

We have again news of GARIBALDI. It appears
that the guerilla chief has evaded the snares laid
for his reception, as we yesterday predicted he
would do, and that at eleven o'cloek on Thursday
night he re-entered Como with all his troops. It
has also been said that he had surprised and beaten
the Austrians at Varese, and that the town is once
more free from the enemy and restored to the hands
of the patriots. This is important intelligence, ff true.
We cannot, however, place unlimited reliance on
every announcement made by telegrams from Turin.
They have in too many instances been either gross
exaggerations or been strongly approximating
to falsehoods. We trust that GARIBALDI has
escaped—that the gallant Republican General will
not be detained in a state of forced inactivity
during the remainder of the war, or be compelled
at a safe distance to read the accounts of hostilities
in which he might have taken a part, but for being
driven on neutral territory. There were many
reasons, which we assigned yesterday, however, to
believe that he would escape scot free, and he has
completely verified the predictions we indulged in
on his behalf. If at Como on the night of the 2d,
it is manifest that he cannot be in the mountains,
pursued by General URBAN'S corps. As Sir BOYLE
ROCHE long since remarked he is not a bird, and
consequently cannot be at two places at the same
time.

The war fever is spreading throughout Germany.
The defeats of the Austrians on every occasion, in
place of dejecting, is exciting the highest enthu-
siasm of the people. They cannot understand
why German troops should not carry all before
them, and, to adopt Yankee language, be enabled
to " wop all creation." This is, however, more
easily said than done. The Sardinians are tough
customers, and the Zouavcs have shown that they
cannot be despised, even against the most formid-
able odds. The other French soldiers are also good
men, who are merely waiting for an opportunity to
display their valour, skill, and efficiency in the
field. But the Allgemeine Zeitung, or Augsburg
Ga:ette, generally a well-informed journal, fancies
that 500,000 German troops could not only invade
France, but even Paris itself, and dictate terms of
peace in the very capital. This, as we have stated,
would be a task of no ordinary difficulty. Even the
500,000 Germans could not quite so easily get
across France, to say nothing of capturing Paris,
despite the formidable defences erected some time
ago, who thought that they would go far to preserve
the dynasty of which they partially led to the over-
throw.

The German vauntings are really too absurd.
We should scarcely expect them from such a
people, generally slow and stolid, but capable of
being worked up to a high pitch of excitement on
extraordinary occasions. Although many may
detest the NAPOLEON despotism, they would
scarcely consent to get rid of it at the ex-
pense of calling in the assistance of the hated
Prussians, or the scarcely less unpopular Hano-
verians and Bavarians. There would be war to
the knife against the invaders, and not only every
soldier of the line, but every national guard would
struggle to the last before they would permit the
French soil to be polluted by foreign footsteps,
more especially of those against whom they che-
rished the bitterest animosity for past misconduct
on both sides. It was probably the French inso-
lence that excited the Prussian vindictiveness ; but
never, perhaps, was it displayed more powerfully
than after the battle of Waterloo and the march of
BLUCHER on Paris.

But, returning to more probable events, it is
certainly by no means unlikely that a heavy blow
will be struck on one side or the other during the
ensuing week. The Austrians have fallen back ;
they have withdrawn their men, together with
1,000 wounded, from Robbio. They are manifestly
determined to act on the defensive, under the•
strong positions which they have assumed, and there
will be no ordinary amount of hardihood required to
induce any enemy to make an attack under such

circumstances. But the French are like greyhounds
" straining upon the slip," and Louis NAPOLEON
can scarcely curb their natural impatience. Indeed
delay will be fatal to himself, for it will induce the
people of France to inquire whether he has the
dash or daring of his great uncle, and whether he
is, indeed, a suitable chief for a great military
nation.

The laurels won by VICTOR E?JMANUEL, about
which there can be no possible mistake, will militate
greatly against his boastings. The one has exposed
himself to the hottest fire and plunged into the
thickest of the fight, until the Zouaves attempted
to restrain him from his reckless audacity. The
other has not as yet smelt gunpowder, save at a
safe distance, nor have the purity of his plumes
been sullied by the dust of battle. Comparisons
will unquestionably be made, not very favourable
to the EMPEROR, unless he speedily assumes the
initiative, and shows that he has not joined the
army as a mere matter of form, but with an un-
flinching determination to take part in all the con-
flicts of importance that may arise while he is the
commander of the allied troops.

The Liberal reunion fixed for Monday, the 6th
of this present month of June, 1859, gives us very
much the notion of an Experimental Happy Family
There is a natural curiosity felt at once as to how
so very heterogeneous an assembly will get on
together—whether the old Whig cat will comport
itself amicably with the smallest of those charming
little tame mice of Peelites habitually given to con-
stftutio nal palpitations ! Whether the predatory
hawk of party will forego forthwith all his more
selfish instincts in the way of depredation, perching
meekly beside the pertest of the little dingy spar-
rows of independence! They only want that honest
old dog Towzer, there, to complete their happiness !
And the best of the joke is, that the notion of this
Experimeital Happy Family is got up entirely
among themselves. There is no master spirit
who is to preside over their organisation
—to subdue, by his dominant authority, 111
all their natural instincts, passions, piques,
appetites, and prejudices —to tranquillise them
into unnatural fraternity—to exercise over their
discordant ranks a glamour kindred to that
which may bid the lion lie down with the lamb,
and the dove nestle by the basilisk. The signal
for the gathering is that wonderful little round.
robin Circular, signed by that marvellous Chang-
and-Ching of the Opposition—the Siamese Twins
of the House of Commons—arcades ambo—" a pair
of them"—including Lord PALM ERSTON and Lord
JOHN RUSSELL ! Associated, in this, with an
astounding melange, including among others—
GEORGE BYNG, a staunch Liberal—EDWAßD
ELLICE, a thoroughgoing Whig—SIDNEY HER-
BERT, an unmistakeable Peelite—and MILNER
GIBSON, an undoubted Manchesterian. So
miscellaneous is the whole group in an-
tecedents and character, in opinions general and
particular, in aspirations and in predilections, that
Farmer BULL, while looking forward to the hour
and place appointed as those of the rendezvous—
Willis's Rooms, in King-street, St. James's, at two
o'clock, on Monday afternoon—instinctively, ine-
vitably resolves the whole of his sentiments in re-
ference to the project into one extremely terse and
idiomatic ejaculation—" Go it !"—Adding, perhaps,
if his ideas trend at the moment, in what Mr.
DICKENS has happily termed the slangular direction
—" you cripples !" For, in the meantime, there
cannot but cross any one's imagination in the
presence of this most unusual joint-circular
for a sort of a political omnium gatherzon
—the remembrance of two facts which are
in themselves notorious and indubitable. First
—that the new House of Commons, if not divided
into the equable balance of six and half-a-dozen—
still so far approaches the state of equipoise that its
aggregate is massed into clumsy moieties of 352 on
the side of the Opposition, and 303 on the side of
the Government. Secondly— that among the
former there are numerous independents or neutral
who have avowed, if anything, a preference for those
who are In, and certainly a positive repugnance for
those who are Out. It is quite obvious at once, in
fact, that the chances of the Opposition—dubious
at the best—are becoming now at their worst ab-
solutely preposterous. Mr. ROEBUCK awaits the
two noble lords—the Castor and Pollux of Debate,
the Orestes of Cambridge-house :and the Pylades
of Pembroke Lodge—Mr. ROEBUCK awaits them
grimly like a Nemesis. The sword of Ate is
already held in his grasp and has been
recently sharpened. There are a fe trusty
henchmen, too, to aid him in his vengeance.
These are for the most part clustered below the
gangway ; while above that Opposition gangway
there is one of the most formidable of all the
antagonists the Cambridge-house compact can
encounter in discussion—the right hon. gentleman
the recalcitrant ex-Secretary for Ireland under the
last Administration. They have charming pro-
spects truly before them, these noble lords and
honourable and right honourable representatives
on the side of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. They
want, above all things, to gratify an almost un-
limited number of exorbitant ambitions. They
want, beyond all things, by one comprehensive
coalition, to build up de nOVO and in per-
petuo a new Liberal Government. They want
especially to build it up on the broader basis
of a double leadership Lord JOHN RUSSELL
and Lord PALMERSTON having, in the very nick of
time, it is said, been brought most happily togethe,r.
But—is there not that wise, old symbolical 4-10_
rism—" Between two stools," et cetera.
