HASTINGS, N. Y, August Z, 1850.
My DEAR COLONEL I'll thank you very much for
having sent me the extracts of several journals OF
New York, which pretend TO give accurate details
of the biography of Gen. Garibaldi. After dinner,
gave them TO hin, which made him laugh
heartily al the various stories created in the i'm
agnation of nobody knows who.
i know perfectly well tnc cnleI ueltlls OF the
life of this exile and the political suerngs of this
brave Italian, because had correspondence with
him during his residence in Montevideo. From
these documents can show, and he himself has
confirmed me in my opinion, that not only he never
was in Cincinnati, as has been asserted by some
but that he never had any inteAtion of coming 10
the United States before this, his present visit He
was never in the service of Naples. When Murat
reigned there, Garibaldi but five or six years
old. For this reason, he could not have then be-
loDged to the conspiracy of the Carbonar He has

The history of Garibaldi is in fact, the follow.
ing He took a part in the revolutionary move
ments of Italy, in 1880, at which time he forme
part of the regular navy of Sardinia, he being
native of Nice. Having taken refuge in the re-
public of La Plata, he commanded at first the naval
forces. Afterwards he commanded the Italian
legion, composed of emigrants who had accom-
panied him, at the head of which he performed
prodieies of valor against the army of Rosas. He
was raised in consequence to the rank of General of
all the forces of Montevideo. He married, and had
three children. Urged by his love of country, he
returned TO Italy with his family and the legion in
1913, where, on every emergency, he conducted
himself with that courage, that sagacity, that pure
and elevated patriotism, which has made his name
as dear to the people of Italy it is odious to
the reigning tyrants of that classic land.
Garbaldi is improving in health, but slowly,
his left arm hope, however, that the fine air of
this place, some days of rest, and the kind hospi-
tally and attention he receives from all, will help
to restore him to his usual good health.
Garibaldi salutes you-AveZzana-Filopauli, DR..
Mott, and other friends, in which join heartily.
Your very afiectionate friend,
FELIX FoREsrr.
