from that thrdom which the North has already thrown
off viii be principally bis work. The great excite
melt which has been caused by his expedition is a
proof of the confidence which the world has in his
powers and it's conviction Of the rottenness of the
NeapOtan Government. Were Garbaldi a common
man. an 0rttgs laboriDg under the haucination that
his cause had followers, Smith @ Brien fancying
that Heaven lad endowed him with influence
mankind, the Bourses of the continental cities would
rot he affected by the sailing of the General and his
little band from Genoa Were he even merely brave
soldier we should look with anxiety and pity on his
proceedings, and remember how the brilliant Murat
found grave in those very regions and on the
erTand Of dethronng the House of Bourbon.
When every hour may bring strange and important
intelligence, II ia perhaps useless TO indulge in specu
laoD. But according to what we have already learnt
Sicily is by this time flame and not only the island,
but also Calabria and the AbruZzi The course of
events has been pretty much follows: On the night
OF the 9Th inst. the expedition Get out from Genoa,
Garibadi having seized two steamers belonging to a
private company The force amounted il is said, 10
COZ men and after making il would seem, somewhat
deour to avoid the Neapolian cruisers il reached
The coast of Sicily, and landed at Marsaa the llth
pushing on TO Calata Finn and Alcamo, where the in
suTgents concentrated The reports connected
with the landing are very contradictory An official
dispatch from Rome, dated May H. says that two Nea-
IOlitan rgatee have sunk the steamer Lombard0 and
captured the Piemonte while from Turin il is report
ed, under date of the l6th that the Pemonte had not
been captured 1t seems likely. however that these
two steamers must have fallen into the hands of the
ROyaiss, and, indeed it is probable that Garibaldi
VIII look with uncoDcern on any such event.. He, OF
course merely used them to get to the island the notion
Of sending them back for reenforoemens IL absurd.
GaIibadi and his 2 900 will be merely the nucleus
found which the InsuJecOnary levy of the island is
to he gathered; he must have made up bis mind to
depend wholly on native assistance, and TO conquer
tie BOurbOns by the aid Of their own Subjects and
perhaps of their soldiers. What concerns
The of events III the island itself and here the
General seems 10 be doing well can be expected.
No forget the military genius which GarIbadi
exhibited at Rome, and his hImness in defensive war
fare has been than equaled by the dash and spirit
OF Lis campaign against the Austrians. This time
twelvenonih, when 1t was announced that Garibadi
rushing in on the Austrian territory with a hand
fu Of men, the universal feeling was, that whatever
might be the issue Of the war; the foolhardy leader
would be crushed by the of the enemy which
we've concentrated about the Lakes. But he was not
crushed With incredible rapdity he made his way
fiom point to point, avoiding combats, sexcept
where he fought at something like equality in
DIE, attacking the AustTlAlb wien l0cy I0OuRnl
at distance, and nhicting them, if not great
losses, at lesst shenefnl and provoking defeats.
Garibaldi may very well be expected to
do something Of the same kind now. Ii is
clear thai the insuection is in full progress and that
the Royal troops have yet been unable 10 do more
than hold their If this the before the
arrival Of Garibdi it may be presumed that the pros
poets Of the SiciaDs will be wonderfully frightened
hs presence, by the vgOr which he Will infuse into
their movements and by the encouragement he will
ufict on their enemies. The dispatches of the Nea-
Oltan Government are Ominous by their vagueness.
When pOtentaie ike King Francis merely announces
in general terms that all goes well, that his troops
lave inflicted serious loss on the insurgents, and when
he continues these assertions day after day 1t Is fair
believe that tie chances pretty evenly balanced.
The flourish Of the Royal rumpets would be louder,
longer, and more joyous if any real advantage had
been obtained Now, the official dispatch dated May
10 to this effect: Garbad is in Sicily, at the head
% of the flbuster. The Royal troops are marching
90 70 meet them. No movements whatever have taken
place in the province" The first two portions of
this message we can well believe Whether it be
that movement has taken place in the provinces is
doubtful.
From all sides we learn that the effect Of the expedi-
ton in Southern Italy has been most remarkable. Ca
labra is in ferment and the Patrie says that in
surIeciOn in Calabra and another in the Abruzz are
spoken of having commenced Into the probabilities
OF such a movement we cannot enter. IT, however,
these provinces do attempt 10 shake of the Royal yoke,
tie assistance to the Scans viii be great indeed But
the important question the behavior of the Nea
pOtan troops. The of the King depends their
fidelity; yet they ltallans and we know what
Italian soldiers did in Florence and Modena II may
well be that the army is not unwilling TO frsternize
with the most eminent Italian soldier OF the age, one
who has recently borne great part IN delivering his
country from foreign yoke and who is even now IN
the service Of the most patriotic OF Italian Kings. We
publish Garibaldis address 10 the Neapolitan army.
That army is discontinued with IT'D agans. the
insurgents; how far its sympathes are with them must
re left for time to show. That the will be con-
IL. Ix,va INF
the bOnbaIdment Of MARSHA sufficiently proves. 1t
nav be d al such proceedings will disgust the troops
even Of King Of Naples. Should such be the case
The success OF the expedition will be secured Should
however, the troops remain trm Garibadl must make
up bis mind TO all the chances Of long and desperate
struggle complicated, perhaps, eventually by foreign
Intervention.
From The London Neu,, May 10.
il il q week this morning since Garibald with only
eco followers landed in Sicily TO lead against
the Neapolan army of 10000 regular troops. Carl
badis hastily collected corps notwithstanding the
glowing accounts Of il at first published by the French
Iress, i'll provided for, and dsembarked III Sicily
well knowing that by doing it lost all certainty OF
being able to communicate with Genoa or LeghOrn.
The thoroughly national character Of tie nsurrection
enabled the gallant band TO discard this consideration
and TO throw itself unhesitatingy upon the population
az the source of is strength and engage in struggle
with army of 80 600 regular troops, we'll found and
assisted by feet ready either TO support them or 10
transfer them from point to point on the coast without
the fatIl o. long marches During the seven days
that have passed the telegram from Naples has not
transmitted a single word TO comfort the admring
friends Of Francis ii. in the House of Commons and
although the continental press has published some
very favorable accounts Of the progress OF the
expedition this silence If for US eloquent than all
the kilograms. The first direct documentary reports
which have reached England from the of action
art the letters from Malta, published this morning.
