ITALY.

The Turin correspondent of the Siocls writes as
follows, on the 6th inst. :,

In the latter part of December the nephew of
Lord John Russell was on board tin English yacht,
which came to anchor near Caprera. A boat was
let down, and two sailors brought Garibaldi an
invitation to breakfast, which the latter accepted.
The general, on reaching the deck was saluted with
twenty-one guns. The same evening Garibaldi
returned to his island, and the English yacht set
sail for Gaeta,

Yesterday and to-day all the presidents of the
Garibaldian committees met at Bertani's, in Genoa.
They had been summoned to come and audit the
account of the expenses incurred by the central
committee for the expeditions to Sicily and Naples.
Proceedings commenced with the reading of the
following letter from Garibaldi to Bertani :
" Caprera, Dec. 22.
"My dear Bertani,—l have received and exa-
mined the account of the sums expended by the
committee over which you preside, and am satisfied
with it. You have deserved well of Italy during
those periods when both of us had the honour of
serving our country.—Yours,
"GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI."
M. Bellazzi then read the full items of expendi-
ture, and produced all the vouchers for the inspec-
tion of the committee. Bertani, when the reading
was concluded, demanded that a special com-
mittee taken from the various members present
should be empowered to audit the accounts and
examine the vouchers produced. The assembly
decided unanimously that there was no occasion
for instituting this special audit after General
Garibaldi's approbation, which was sufficient.
The Garibaldian committees are not dissolved.
The decision was adopted that they should con-
tinue to act and collect voluntary offerings for the
completion of the work undertaken by Garibaldi.
In future they will assume the following title—
" Committees of Aid for Rome and Venice."

Bertani then handed in his resignation on the
ground of ill-health. It was not accepted, and the
central committee is now composed as follows :
President, Bertani ; Vice-presidents, Mauro Macchi
and Bellazzi ; Adjuncts, Mosto, of Genoa, and the
Advocate Brusco.

The accounts of this meeting are to be printed
and published.

•
Garibaldi, in consideration of the grave state in
which Italy now is, does not wish his name to be
used as a pretext for any agitation ; but he wishes
the nation to gather all its strength for the last
crisis, and to be ready by the spring.
The following letter was also read to the Central
Committee :

" Caprera, Dec. 29, 1860.

" Dear Bellazzi,—l wish the formation and
agreement of all the Italian committees to contri-
bute to the great redemption of the country. In
this way Victor Emmanuel, with a million of
armed Italians, will be able next spring to de-
mand with justice that which Italy wants. In
the sacred path I follow I wish every
trace of party to disappear. Our antagonists
are a party ; they wish Italy to be made by
them, with the assistance of the foreigner and with-
out us. We—we are the nation ;we desire no
other chief but Victor Emmanuel ; and we exclude
no Italian that frankly desires what we do. There-
fore, above all, take care to preach concord, of
which we have immense need.—Yours,
" G. GARIBALDI."

Garibaldi having heard that he was proposed in
Italy by nearly all the electoral colleges refuses to
accept any nomination, in these terms :
" Caprere, Dec. 29, 18GO.
" Dear Belazzi,— * * * * Owing to excep-
tional circumstances, I cannot accept any candidate-
ship as a deputy. I wish this to be made publicly
known to all the electoral colleges, in order that the
inconvenience of proceeding to fresh elections may
be avoided.—Yeurs,
" G. GARIBALDI."

All these letteriii-W-abundant proof, without
further comments, that Garibaldi is holding him-
self in readiness for the Ist of March.
