GARIBALDI.

A letter from Turin says :—" Garibaldi, who has
been stated by certain journals to have gone to
Montenegro, London, Naples, or on a visit to King
Victor Emmanuel, has never stirred from Caprera,
and everything leads to the belief that he does not
think at present of throwing his sword into the
balance. Garibaldi, be assured, has no fixed pro-
jects; he acts on the spur of the moment. When
he left Genoa for Sicily he did not know whether
be should land at Melazzo, Marsala, or Syracuse ;
and when he crossed the Straits he could not say
whether he should go to Reggio or to Naples.
Garibaldi, for the moment, is not in correspondence
either with the King or with Count Cavour. He
fishes and shoots in his island, but says little; no
one can say what he will do—neither Bixio, nor
Deideri, nor Bertani, any more than Cavour. It
is true that in the South of Italy, some persons
made a sort of military organisation by nominating
officers, and even proceeding to enrol men; but
when they went to Caprera to tell Garibaldi what
they had done, he answered that it was useless,
and that when the propor time arrived for action,
all Italy would take up arms. In a letter to the
president of the Garibaldian committees he has
declared that all the enrolments made up to the
present have been without his consent. Why,
then, should attempts be made to diminish his
political importance by representing him as a seeker
after adventures, or as a political Don Quixote, to
whom nothing comes amiss—Hungary, Turkey,
the Principalities, or Montenegro ? The Garibal-
dian committees are for the present inactive, and
observe the strictest legality."
