THE CAPTURE OF BERGAAo.
The popularity Of Garibaldi is on the in
crease. The King Of Sardinia, in acknowledg'
mcut of mis- valiant feats in Lombardy, has sent
him a gol1en military medal. while all Italy IS
watching with intense interest his further pro-
eress. From Como Garibaldi has pursued his tri-
uumphant course towards the centre of Lombar-
DIV. and .. latest accounts had captured Bersa-
mo. Indeed, it could scarcely be termed a cap
tIre. for the citizens received him with glad
ness, and he made his entry not only without
/ resistance or bloodshed, but amid cries Of wei,
come and rejoicing.
Brrrano is a seat Of a bishopric. and has q
population. Of some thirty-eight TO forty thou
sand souls. The railway that runs from We
| nice to Milan has been but lately completed
and connecS the place with those OF lnterveli'
ing cities. Asa military post it is OF little value,
the lower town being utterly helpless IN case OF
invasion. AMI the upper too poorly ioruheu 70
offer any great resistance. Yet Its voluntary
occupation BY Garibaldi is Of Importance to his
cause. and will have its influence on other
cities Of Northern Italy. Indeed 1t must have
been n proud moment for the lately cx!led CHIEF
when he was welcomed into the town of Berga.
mo-. From its noble ramparts his eye could
roam far over the vast e1panse Of Lombardy
that stretches out in one huge PLAIN. teeming
with wealth, the soil wreathed with clustering
vines. shaded by the misty olive, and dotted
here and there with cleaning villages and
churches. Behind tower the Alps, with their
white peaks r%eceding far into the distance,
and the mountain range stretching far on either
side. like 4 vast army of giants commencing q
simultaneous march over the extended PLAIN -
To the extreme right there are the domcS and
spires of Milan, only visible when the atmos-
phere is remarkably clear, and which are now
hidden by the smoke Of war that hoTers about
that part Of Lombardy.
NAPOLEON ~ LONBARDY-His ADDRESS TO THE
PEOPLE.
The following is the text Of the address Of
the French Emperor to the people Of Northern
Italy:
..Italians-Thef fortune of war having brought
US into the capital Of Lombardy, | am about 10
tell YOU why am here. When Austria un-
Justly attacked Piedmont | resolved to support
my al,v, the King Of Sardinia, the honor and
interest of France making it a duty for me to
do so. Your enemies. who arc also mine, en-
dcayored to diminish the sympathy which was
felt in Europe for your cause by making it be
believed that | only made war from personal
ambition. or to aggrandize the territory oil
France. If there are men who do not compre-
hcnd their epoch, | am not of the number. In
the enlightened state Of public opinion there
is more grandeur 20 be acquired by the
moral influence which is exercised than by fruit
less connuests, and that moral influence !
seek with pride in contributing TO restore
10 freedom one of the finest parts Of Europe.
Your reception has already proved 70 me
that you have understood me. do not come
here with the proconceivcd system of dispos.
sesSing the sovereign, nor to impose my Will
on you. Ny army will only occupy itself with
Two things-to combat your enemies aud main
tain internal order. 1t sill not throw any OBJ
s~tacles in the way OF the legitimate manifesto
ton of your wishes. Providence sometimes
isvors 4 nation as well rs individuals, BY giving
it a sudden opportunity for greatness, but it is
on condition that it knows how to profit by it.
Profit, then, by the fortune which is offered to
YOU to obtain your independence. Organize
Yourselves militarily. Fly to the standard OF
King Victor Emanuel, who has already so no.
bly, shown you the path of honor. Remember
that without discipline thor" ran h" To army
Be TO-DAY only soldiers, and tomorrow you
will be the free citizens Of a great country.

HOW THE WAR CAN. ABOUT.
The English ministry have published the cor
rcspondcnce between the d~iplonatists before
the war broke ont, wherein, notwithstanding
that they protested a profound ignorance o
any cause for war, they appear to have beer
earnestly engaged in trying to stave it of. As
soon as Victor Emanucl's secret agents IN LON
hardy began to stir up discomfort, the British
minister demonstrated, as those acts were
likely to give offence to Austria. The Sardi
man ministry denied that they had any in
tcnion TO excite revolution, and the Eng
lish minister in Sardinia seemed to b
satisfied that it was the freedom Of the Sar
dinlanS that was producing the trouble with
the people of Lombardy. The French Empo
ror'S rebuff TO the Austrian minister, on New
Years day. showed England that France
was the real dis;urber Of the peace, and IN,
British cabinet, after sundry circumstances L
France and Austria, invited Prussia and Russi:
to help her to keep the parties from quarrelling
England. at the same time, suggested to Aus
trla that amelioratlons were necessary IN TIT
condition of the Lombardians. War, it wa
suggested, would soon grow into one OF dynas
ties and opinions, and spread till it involved
all Europe. Napoleon denied any intention o
going to war. She did not like Austrian rule
but so long as Austria was in her own terrific
rics she could do as she pleased, only Their
was no need Of pushing her troops beyond tn
