Ihls mornings M0ntteT announces INC Ca
change of notifications, on yesterday, at Zurich,
of the treaties of the 10th of November last
What influence these treaties will have upon the
affairs of Central Italy, is more than can say
but to Judge from the state of things there, and
the feelings of the people, the fate of Popery and
of the old Dukes seems sealed; and, aitnougn
the letters of invitation to the meeting OF
Congress are about to be sent out from France
and Austria, for the settlement OF those arairs
upon the basis of the convention OF Vllatran-
ca, the Italians are determined to resist all OF
that convention which relates to the restoration
of the Dukes, and to the Confederation, with the
Pope at the head, as President.
The Sandman Kings vacillating action with
respect to the Regency of the Prince Eugene
de Carignan, as stated in my last letter, had
the effect long feared by the friends of Italy.
Instead of sustaining the will of the Italians,
and letting the Prince quietly take charge OF
the Regency, Victor Emmanuel yielded to the
intrigues of the plotters, and accepted as
naezzo te1mine, to give up the Regency to MIR.
Buoncompagni. And, which proves the more
his lack of energy where energy was most re-
CURED, and aggravates the condition OF affairs
in Central Italy, he indisposed Garibaldi to
such extent.as to induce him to give up his
command and retire at once. Now, in the first
place, neither the King of Sardinia, nor the
Prince of Carignan, had right to palm the
Commentators Buoncompagni on the Central
Italian States-whose votes were given first Tor
the former, secondly for the latter, individually,
and with no authority whatever to depute dele
gates in their stead. In the second place, it is
we'll known to the world thatin the present unset
tied state of things in Central Italy, man of
Garibaldi's activity, energy, devotedness, and
prestige, could alone keep together the moving
masses of that naturally turbulent country.
To request or in any way cause his withdrawal,
was no friendly act to those whose votes were
so generously given, and the King OF SARDINIA
NAV. at some future day, have to pay dear
therefor.
Garibaldi, upon Withdrawing from Central
Italy, gave out the following proclamation
A." To the Italians: As underhand machina-
tons we're continually embarrassing the free
dom of action attached to the rank occupy In
the army of Central Italy, and which l have
made use of in the endeavor to attain the OBJ
iect which every good Italian has in view,
leave, for the present, the military service.
"On the day when Victor Emmanuel shall
again call his soldiers to arms for the redemp-
ton of our common country, l will again find
a weapon and place by the side of my valiant
companions.
"The miserable tortuous policy which, for
moment, disturbs the ma este march OF our at
fair, smust convince US that it is necessary for
us to draw close round the valorous and loyal
10 Of Off
grading in his sublime and generous path, and
that we ought now, more than ever, to prepare
gold and steel, so as to be able to meet those
who would endeaver to plunge US back again
into the miseries Of the past.
JOSEPH GARIBALDI."
1t may be noticed in what delicate and gen
erous manner the General speaks, in the latter
part of the foregoing proclamation, of King
Victor Emmanuel. To this, all who know the
noble character of that brave man will express
no surprise.
Conscious as he may be that the source of
all the " miserable tortuous policy" be COM
plains of lies in the lack Of energy of the King
of Sardinia, he suppresses any exhibition of
anger against him and, aware that the success
of Italy greatly depends on the union of the
Italians with Piedmont, he exhorts his country
men to stand by him, who, in this supreme mo-
ment, shows nlmSeH as weak as ne proven
brave on the field of Solferino.
The English and French press are again
down upon each other on the subject of the
ornaments The British would have the French
to understand that it is not " the fear of an in
vasion by France, but the mere decorum for all
| great nations to be ever ready to defend itself
against all emergencies, that make English peo-
pie anxious of increasing their effective force.
But while they claim for themselves the benefit
of this reasoning, they find it destitute of logic
when applied for by their neighbors across the
! channel.
The Spanish expedition is pushing on in
! great haste. The bad weather lately rendered
difficult the embarcation of the war material.
A change of Ministry was expected in Turkey,
in consequence of lack of harmony among the
| Ministers. Almost all the sentences of those
connected with the last conspiracy have been
| committed.
Great financial improvements are being
! adopted in Russia. 1t would seem that the with
drawal o. Baron Streglitz, the wealthy Jew bank
er of st. Petersburg, is causing great good to
the financial world of the Russian capital, who,
so long as he ruled the Exchange, could not
| liberate themselves from his grasp. D.
