ther artillery nor cavalry, some uneasiness
was entertained for his safety, but dispatch
received from the head quarters of Col Bon
temps at Lugano announces that Garibaldi
had beaten the Austrians in two engagements,
captured seven pieces of cannon, and was
marching on Como. It is expected that the
entire province will rise for Garibaldi, which
movement will produce an n,immehse effect on

The exploits of Garibaldi eclipse all other
events of the war. You will have received q
long succession Of telegrams recording the
leading features Of his hardy triumphant ad-
vance. His name is in every mouth, and if
the fortune of war should favor him but q iit-
tie while longer, he will be looked upon in
France as the true Bonaparte of this campaign.
The Noniteur at length speaks Of him, and
announces his occupation Of Camerlata.R By
later dispatches We learn that he has pursued
the Austrians as far as Monza, village stu
ated only seven or eight miles from Milan! !!
Prudent, as well as audacious and fortunate,
he has left strong force at Lecco on the east
ern extremity of Lake Como; thus keeping
up his communications with the mountainous
districts. One cannot, however, but feel great
anxiety for his position in the heart Of an en-
emy's country, and at the head of only hand
full of volunteers. The Emperor, says a Tu-
rim letter, is continually. writing to him to be
prudent, and not to expose himself rashly to
personal danger, but he nevertheless goes on
tempting hairbreadth escapes, and every day
with increasing success. The standard of re-
volt against the Austrian yoke rises everywhere
on his path as he goes along. People are ac-
tualy contemplating the possibility of his get
ting to Milan while the French and Austrian
armies are looking at each other across the
Po His dispatches, written in the true ueni,
vidi, ric style, are said to run in this way

We read in the Independence Beige: .un
Garibaldi's operations have been blamed as
dangerous because they are apparently not
connected with any general movement; but
they do not deserve the criticisms directed
against them. Garibaldi was to have been
supported by the allied army, but it would ap-
pear from Vienna dispatches that the Franco
Sandman army have met with unexpected
dific ,ilties on the Sesia and the Pc, which
they have not yet succeeded III ovt vtrcoming.
Their most advanced posts are at Borgo- Yer
celli, where they have been for some days..
AS we said yesterday, they obtained footing
at Gambia, but they were dislodged from this
position by the Austrian artillery. 1t is to be
observed, however, that the Moniteur tele
gram makes no mention of these incidents,
merely saying that there is nothing new in the
situation. The Austrians occupy very strong
positions at Stradella, and it is doubtful wheth-
er the Allies will attack them on that point
The battle of Montebello, therefore, although
a brilliant achievement, will produce no prac-
tical results on future operations.
GARIBALDI's PROCLAMATION TO THE LoMEARDs
The following proclamation was issued by
Garibaldi on entering the Lombard territory !:
"Lombards: You are called to new
life, and you will respond to the appeal as did
your fathers Of yore at Ponsida and Legnano
The enemy is the same as ever-pitiless, q
black assassin, and a robber., Your brethren
Of every province have sworn to conquer or
to die with you. 1t is our task to ayenge the
insults, the outages, and the seryitude OF
twenty generations; it is for us to leave to
our children a patrimony freed from the pol
luton of foreign domination. Victor Eman-
uel, chosen by the national will for our supreme
chief, sends me to organize you for this patri-
otic fight l deeply feel the sanctty Of this
mission, and ] am proud to. command you
To arms Then bondage must cease. He
who can seize an arm and does not is a traitor
Italy, with her children united, and freed from
foreign domination, will know how to recon-
quer the rank which Providence has assigned
her among natiOnSN "
