On the night Of the 5fh Inst. General GarfbaIdi

steamers Of Genoa and supposed to have BY this

On the whole, II is not strange that GaribaldI
should seek a new field for the display of his
energies, nor strange that the Sandman Gown
ment should be glad TO let him go. Garibaldi
sees Id the sician insurrection the chance Of In
creased renown. Count Gavour, no doubt, thinks
that Sicily is much more suited for his trouble

Sicily, well and good If he cannot, he will either
