very greatly opposed by the enemy, because on
that side, where there was no diversion, and where
the ground would consequently have been disputed
with more ferocity even than at Casteggio, the
Austrian general had scarcely defended the passage
Of the Sesia against General Cialdini, and II Is for
this reason also that this latter had been enabled to
seize considerable quantity of provisions and bag
gage. 1t is true that Garibaldi. with his volun-
teers, went of in an oblque direction at the same
time, and that If the Austrian General had &C
ccepted battle on the same, instead Of reaching
lost sufced to permit the division to be taken IN
flank, and from that moment the retreat would
have been altogether compromised.
MOVEMENTS OF GARIBALDL
1t was following this last movement that Carl
baldi boldly advanced upon Aroma, then upon
Lesto-C alende, at the point Of Lake Maggiore at
the place where, the Ticiao issues from the ~
waters Of the lake. II was there, menacin La
retired into neutral territC y, like the lrdinian
vessels it is there, we say where Garba.d Iii threw
himself on mere not hayng amy
TO prepare to sustain an attack With which he was
menaced by the Austrian General Urban.
GARIBAIDis DIrFICULTiEs.
To see Garbaidi once more in f0rlorn condt-
ton with his corps ddrn,6e as he had already pre-
yousy been in the valley of the Sesia, behind the
Iago Maggiore, without corps OF reserve, with
out place of retreat from which he might be able
to support his offensive movements, one is tempted
publican is not an instrument in the hands OF the
empire which it desires TO crush, as to annihi
late the revolution along with him. One must be-
leve that there are many more volunteers than the
number Of $500 fixed by Napoleon the Third az
the effective force of the volunteers and that they
have incorporated into the Sandman army the
flower of those volunteers. But it will appear that
Garibaldi is Knocked by Napoleon as by Victor
Emanuel. By the aid of an oath, which gives him
a flag TO cover his merchandise he has been right
before him, enkindling all the spirits by promises
which he makes rather in the name OF Mazzini
very certainly the Austrians would not have
been engaging with him in war of
prrisans. They lend him the project of voluton:
izing the Lombard populations against Austrian
domination, Of assembling all men capable Of bear
ing arms, and having nothing to lose; in short, of
prOfitipg by the first general engagement between
the two armies to endeavor TO arrive before Napo-
leon at Milan
THE SWISS MOVEMENTS.
In the meantime, 1t appears very evident that TO
cut off the retreat Of the volunteers the Austrians
should push on towards the canton of the Hcino to
the north Of the Lsgo Maggorc. The Swiss Federal
Council, which knows how to make its neutrality
respected under all circumstances, has fastened to
send Colonel Bontemps At the head of division,
which il established before Luguano. His mission
is to watch the integrity Of the territory of the
country by an eficacious defence OF the frontiers
against all armed troops that might attempt t.
force passage. srole is to fortfy the positions,
armed upon the territory to keep an attentive
eye regarding all aggression of the belligereut
armies and to prevent in case it should occur, the
sortie of organized bodies with the view Of lending
aid to either one or other of those armies. And
with the view of facilitating the mission of Col.
Bontemps, the Federal Counsel has resolved to send
all refugees into the cantons Of the centre.
THE POLITICAL HORIZON.
II is not without interest to cast glance over
the political horizon, which darkeus every day.
Those who counted on the neutrality of Germany
restrained by Prussia, the efforts Of England TO
crcnmscribe the war in Italy, to prevent the Lom-
bardoVenetian question from setting fire to all
Europe, have commenced to review their sweet
Illusions. The death of the King of Naples the de-
luton, the presence of an Austrian army in the
Tyrol, the change which seems to have operated in
Russian policy, alarming the growing progress and
%sEac ing the a revolutionary these
added to the complications Of an already
difficult position.
THE NRw KING OF NAPLES
With the exception of France and Piedmont, the
great Powers have already recognized the new
King of Naples. Scarcely having assembled his
throne, the young Prince, a nephew of Victor
Emanuel, has declared that in view Of the occur
rences in progress in the north of Italy, he would
that belongs to an Itaiion prince. Prudence
ought never to mislead patriotism, nor patriotism
prudence. Francis II. has reasons thousand
times to suspect Louis Napoleon, who amuses peo-
pie with beautiful oaths and pompous promises,
and he has good reason for not marching against
Piedmont, SO as to save the world from witnessing
the spectacle of brothers cutting the throats one
Of the other. The neutrality of the King Of Naples
also confounds all the projects Of the Emperor Of
the French, and goes against the ambition of
Prince Napoleon, Of whose Decentralization at
Livourne nothing more has been explained in his
proclamation than that he was not in search of
kingdom. And now hear the Prince Napoleon
speaking in his turn

REASONS FOR SENDING PRINCE NAPOLEON TO THE
WARS.
It is true that if we are to believeiNapoleon H..
he only sent his Imperial cousin to prosecute the
war in Tuscany against the oppressors of Italy, so
as not to leave him to dance attendance at Paris.

that impudence? Let us add, on the other hand,
that the neutrality Of Francis II. admirably serves
the Austrian policy, and seconds the views of the

THE DEPARTURE OF KOssvru.
Another fact, to which we must call the serious
attention of readers, is the departure of Kos
suth for Genoa--of Kossuth who has affirmed
French tendencies-of Kossuth who burns incense
in the nose Of the last of Bonapartes-of Kossuth
who is revolutionizng Hungary for the profit of the
greatest enemy which liberty has in Europe. The
great agiiator very badly chooses his moment for
reyiving the Hungarian question for the liberation
his country. Doubtless we esteem the men who
have been made Industrious by patriotism, and who
have sacrificed all to their fellowcizens- family,
fortune, happiness. But those sacrifices them
selves do not give them them the right
of wishing to lose, by excess of hatred.
