Exploits of Garibaldi.

The correspondent of the London Times
writes:
Az I have mentioned Garibaldi and bis corps
1t will perhaps interest you to hear how he
came from Bersamo to BTescia. The Austrians
had scarcely withdrawn from Bergamo, when
a messenger was caught OH the road who bro't
riders from the head quarters to hold Bergamu
| at any price il it had not been given up yet
1t would have been rather awkward had the
| order come before, for Garibaidi, without any
cannon, would scarcely have thought of attack
ing the Austrians in town enclosed by high
| ramparts with OILY two outlets.
In the meantime Garibaldi went after the
Austrians, who were retiring towards Bresca.
In order TO mi-ead them, be turned down to-
wards Romano, which is close to the high road
from Milan to Brsscis. The Austrians followed
TOO far, the road to Brescia.
They had scarcely gone off on that scent,
when Gsribad turned again IT, the north, and,
making march of Is miles in less than "a
hours, appeared before and in Brescia, before
the Austrians had the remotest idea OF his
whereabouts.
How little they knew, appears from the fact
that the Major attached 40 Chief d'Etdt Major
to General Urbans division, was caught with
several orderlies in the town OF Brescia, into
| which he had come from the neishborhood,
| never suspecting the presence Of GaribaldI's
corps. a.
The most beautiful thing, however, was that
while the main body went in all haste TO Bres
cha, twenty four men went part in two cmni-
buses, the two officers commanding them, Col
Turr and Major Comozzi, following in tie two
wheel carts Of the country, aud the Whole went
off to the Lake Iseo, and raising sail, cannon

with troops who are unencumbered by baggage.

Charles Napiers ideas.s They have good boots
With leather CATERS up to the middle OF the leg.
The trousers rather loose, and stuck into the
CATERS. A short tunic Of light gray linen, and
over it gray coat reaching down to the kaees,
light cap and the rifle complete the aecoutre-

between officers aud men. If, as is natural after
such marches, things are worn out, the inl,abi.-

the government never even think OF supplying
any OF their wants.

"What will Gasibaldi do next ?" is the qaes
tioa on every lip. Hitherto his march has been
marked by the fact that the Austrians have al
ways fled before him, and the Allies followed
after him, but nov that the final crash must
come, what next win b assigned to the Guerilla
Chief! Either he must join the Allies in their
regular operations-pcrhaps be set to capture
the Austrian vessels of Lake Gards or ascend
ing along the Val Sabbia, he will Aing himself
into the Tyrol, and calling upon the inhabitants
to arise, force his way to the Venetian Alps
This course, would, suppose, furnish the Ger
man Confederation with an excuse for armed in
tervention. Whether Napoleon will consent to
this remains to be seen. lie will best consult
his own interests by giving Garibaldi full scope
