THE SUN.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 188

A 'BRUTUS and CASSIUS Quarrel has just now, it
will be seen—to the affliction of all Italy—sprung
up between CIALDINI and GARIBALDI.

On CIALDINI'S part, it is impossible not to recog-
nise that there is grievous jealousy at the bottom

of it. The overshadowing reputation of the greatest
of all living Adventurers (to use that phrase of
Adventurers in no invidious sense) dwarfs all that
comes beside it, even the soldierly fame of the high
and mighty General CIALDINI, by comparison. Not
an Italian amongst them all—countless though the
number of brave men now on that heroic soil, in
arms for the vindication of the independence of the
whole Roman Peninsula—not an Italian amongst

them all but might exclaim now in GARIBALDI'S

regard, speaking in the very words uttered by
• CAssius in SHAKSPERE'S glorious tragedy of Julius

Casar—

Why, man, he loth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus ; and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs, and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves,•

Yesterday we gate insertion in our columns to
General CIALDINI'S petulantmor rather, it should
be said, intemperate and, even in parts, insolent,
communication to GARIBALDI. In that letter the
Piedmontese General, recalling to mind the friend-
ship and admiration he had always professed (steal
we say ?—had always affected) for GARIBALDI, de
dares that the last acts of that great warrior had
at length so painfullyin fiuenced him (OTALDINI) that
But we will let CIA LDIN r speak for himself.
'We will not interpose one moment for the sake of
becoming the " Sexton" to his " Dogberry." He can
write himself down "an ass" quite easily. Mark what
follows. Ire continues thus in his pitiable letter
to GARIBALDT,—" All my affection for you has
disappeared, and I have become your political ad-
versary. We are not disposed to bear your tyranny.
You are reproached with having given orders to
Colonel TRIPOLI to receive us with musket shots in
the Abruzzi." GARIBALDI'S reply—though begin-
ning haughtily in these words " Strong in
my conscience as an Italian soldier and citizen, I
will not descend to juatify myself against these
accusations, as by so doing I should fail in respect
to the KING and the army"—avowing, indignantly,
in regard to this extraordinary accusation, " I
know nothing of the orders said to have been
given by me to Colonel TRIPOLI." Reverting,
however, to General CIALDLNI's outrageous attack
(in the form of a wretched bullyragging letter)
upon GARIBALDI. We find the Piedmontese Com-
mander-in-Chief's communication actually running
on to these lengths :—" You have reason," says this
flohadil, " to boast of your great and marvellous
enterprise [rather!] but you exaggerate its results.
When we arrived you were at the Volturno, in a
very bad condition. The fall of Capua, Gaeta,
Messina, and Civitella del Tronto, was not brought
about by your operations. 56,000 Bourbon soldiers
were beaten and dispersed by us. It is, therefore,
incorrect to say that you have delivered the king-
dom of the Two Sicilies. An army and fleet took
some part in the work of destroying more than
half the Neapo:itan army, and also took four
fortresses. I believe I know the army suf-
ficiently well to be sure that it shares
the iCehngs of disgust and gricl which the in-
temperance displayed by you and your party
have raised in my mind." GARIBALDI'S " intem-
perance," forsooth! The" intemperance" of GARI-
BALDI and of his Garihaldians ! CIALDINI had better
look at home first• while in the very act of hurling

respect, if the following couplet of Sir WALTER
SCOTT'S were but translated into choice Italian for
his special advantage :
" LO: women, Edward, War with words,
With curses monks—BUT MN WITH SWORDS I"
Elsewhere we give the pith and marrow of
CUIBALGI'S proud and disdainful reply to the
contemptible gibes and outrages directed against
hint by the Piedmontese Generalissimo. That reply
will be found to be exactly what might have been
expected from General GARIBALDI
