The declaration made by the government will, no
doubt, produce effect the English press
than the recent note in which the military and
naval budgets of the two nations were compared
1t is to be hoped that the new note, expressive
in its brevity, will reassure our neighbors and in
duce them to follow our example.
[Fron, the Courier de Paris, July 30l
The two lines in the official journal viii Suffice at
least it is TO be hoped to put end to all the ru
mors, conjectures and insinuations which, since the
peace of Villafranea, have been put in circulation
to keep alive in public opinion disquietude and
anxiety which nothing justifies. Victorious France
without occupying herself with what is said about
her, is the first to disarm. The announcement of
this measure will be received with satisfaction
throughout the country. Disarming is for the
populations the completion of peace. 1t is to be
hoped also that the resolutions taken by the En-
peror will suffice to reassure our neighbors on the
other side of the Channel. In late speech Mr.
Dlsrae after doing the most complete justice to the
moderation prudent, and upright intentions of the
Emperor Napoleon, demanded disarmament as a
striking pledge of the pacific intentions of France
and of her sovereignty, az the means OF promptly
putting an end to all prejudices, and of disspatng
all the clouds which existed between the two
countries. The disarmament is now ordered.
From the Paris Pays, July 9Ol
The official declaration proves in striking man
ner the straightforward character of the Emperors
government. 1t is a decided reply to all the ma
evoent insnuations directed against France by the
foreign press. 1t no longer be said that fer
eign Powers arm because we arm. France re-
places her sword in the scabbard, and the example
will be followed, at least hope so by the other
Powers of Europe.
From the Paris PQtrie, Jtay'3ol
After the announcement in the NoniteUr, it would
most certainly be superluous to take any further
notice of the arguments called forth in the English
press, by the note of Tuesday, on the comparative
war budgets of England and Of France. But, with
respect to this first note, singular fact occurred
which we cannot suffer to pass unnOticed. BY a
mistake of the telegraph-for we cannot think that
bad faith would be carried so far-the year 1858
given in the Moniteu the point of comparison of
the French war budget, before the campaign in the
Crimea, is changed in several of the English Jour
mails, and certainly in the London Times and Morn
ing Post into the year 1913. 1t is easy to see the
effect which must result in argument from the sub
stution of the year 1913, when the grand coalition
of all Europe against France was formed, fer the
year 1858, state of peace. We hope that the
English journals will correct this great mistake,
and that the London Times and Morning Post will
have the good faith to acknowledge that, having
taken 1878 for 1858, state of for state of
peace, all their arguments the subject stand for
nothing.
From the Gazette de France July 3OI
What is peace footing for the French army and
navy? Such is the question which naturally sug-
gests itself reading the official note. The peace

100000 men, the effective force of which several
journals gave table before the in Italy, show
ing thai, without extraordinary levies, France
could have in month $50, 600 soldiers under arms.
As for navy, the vessels already launched will
probably not be laid up and dismasted, the works
suspended, and the cannon thrown into the sea-
The French navy will remain what it was and must
be, ever ready for the defence of the country, and
constantly profting by all the improvements that
experience and science may suggest. The terrors
OF our neighbOrs must not have the result of ar
resting the development of our feet which has
been in constant progress ever since the reStOra-
tion and has put in possession of the finest naval
force in the world 1t is well known that we have al
ways thought that France ought to extend her col
onial possessions and utilize her naval forces in the
protection of the national establishments abroad
Keeping these prospects in view, we think there is
not properly speaking any such thing as a peace
footing for the French navy, that is to saw any
possible reduction of the naval strength. If Eng
land sees any cause of alarm in this state of our
forces she is free to increase her own; but it is i'm
possible to admit that, in order to allay the fears of
our ally, We ought to abandon projects which are
the base of our commercial development in the
world the first condition of the security and pros
perty of our colonies.
From the Paris ConstitsaionReI Aug1l
The journals of London now abandon their insen-
safe alright. Let them at the same time reflect on
the grave consequences which their irritating po-
lemics might have had il prolonged. What was
there in the diplomatic or military events of the
last few months that could have excited the slight
est fear among the English people, Where was
the slightest danger for the security of England
In what respact could this war of Italy-which the
Emperor promised to localize, and which the last
English Ministry, by adopting firmer and more
liberal policy, might perhaps have prevented
menace the interests of that power, trouble the
repose so dear to it? And more particularly, what
right, what motive, what pretext did the Emperor
OF the French give to any one in the English ma.
tion to suspect his Intentions doubt his upright
ness? On what grounds, in word, could an Eng
lish writer speaker, not completely devoid of
common sense, accuse the sovereign Of France of
meditating attack on England. And vet tn at is
what has been seen. Such was, without provoca-
nails towards Napoleon Ill. Such were the inius-
tice aid the prejudices Of which, only few days
back, they were the culpable organs.
France is not ignorant that on this good under
standing depend the gravest interests of the world
and the progressive march of civilization But for
her part, she also knows and fulfls the interna-
tional duties which that good understanding i'm
poses. Her people are never irritated without rea-
son against the English people; her journals do not
insult the statesmen of England; and they always
display the most profound respect for the sovereign
of Great Britain. France thinks herself entitled
to expect the accomplishment of the same duties on
the part of her neighbors and allies. She woud be
dstonished and afflicted, and eouH become irri
tdted at any other conduct
NEWS FROM GENERAL GARIBALDT.
Turin (Jiiy 81 Correspondence Of London Times
Of all the various persons who have figured con-
spcuously in the recent war; not one seems to have
laid so strong hold upon the sympathy and inte-
rests of the public as General Garibaldi. 1t often
happens that the exploits and adventures of par-
san chief exercise, with the majority, a romantic
attraction exceeding that possessed by the move
ments of armies and the more important events of
a campaign. Garibaldrs dashng conduct in former
wars, and his whole adventurous career, were al
ready we'll known to the world and when at the
head of a small BODY of fresh and indifferently
armed evies, he dashed into Northern Lombardy,
the co-Piedmontese, and where he
might at any moment have found himself in presence
of thrice his number of Austrian troops, it was ma
tural that many eyes should be turned towards him
with anxious interest. People expected, from day
to day. to hear of his being cut off and surrounded
and his corps annihilated or compelled to surren-
der, at best, being compelled to seek refuge
on neutral territory. 1t due partly to his skill
and knowledge of the country and to the sympa-
thy and aid Of the inhabitants but in great measure
also, to Austrian laundering and undue contempt
of the foe that he avoided all such miSortunes and
that with the exception of the affair at Castenedoo
in which his band was worsted, he seems invariably
to have had more or less advantage.
Even at CastenadolO, however, where a portion
of his corps was led into ambuscade, his own
daring and his military qualities were conspicuous.
At the head of small number of men, volunteers
for a service which he had announced to them as
desperate, he made most determined charge, lost
four-ffths of his followers but secured the retreat
of his main body. For him the war may be said to
have but just begun when it prematurely ended
He had not got anything like the force which it is
presumable he in short time would have acquired.
The eccentric and mysterious nature of his opera
tions rendered it exceedingly difficult to get trust
worthy accounts of them, and naturally fayora-
Bile to exaggeraton, and to imaginative and fantas-
tical statements My belief is that he never at any
time, in this war, had more than about 1000 men
under his orders, and seldom so many. True that,
after his entrance into Lombardy one heard great
deal of the numbers of recruits that inscribed their
names al Milan and elsewhere, but very small
of these joined, and at the close Of
the short campaign was at the head of 800 men,
Since then his numbers are said to have been again
somewhat augmented either by volunteers, who
believe that he will still find work for his sword in
Central Italy, or by patrtotes du tendenloiH, who |
demand to be led to the field that the fight is
over. Judging from a recent official return |
showing that he had five officers killed and four
teen wounded, (including Colonel Turr, who ac- |
him as an amateur during the cam |
oaign, his losses not very severe, but this is
certainly not to be attributed to any want of for
ardness his part but rather to the skill of his

more than occasion, the Austrians retired be- |
