The steamship Africa, whose ARRIVAL we an
nounced yesterday morning, brings European dates
via Queenstown, down to the 10Th Of August. The
main part of her advices were anticipated by the
arrival of the Nova Scotian off Farther Point, on
Monday last The report that battalion OF Carl
baleians had been landed in Cslabria is confirmed.
The Paris DeJdts affrms that the Neapolitan Home
Secretary was cognizant of Garibaldi's late visit
to Naples, and that he has accepted the post OF
Provisional Governor of Naples for King Victor
Emanuel Lately 26, 900 stand of arms, 700 Orsnl
shells, and million and half of cartOuches, were
secretly ande5there. A Caabrian, who was ar,
rested at Faro confessed to having received money
from Count dAquila to assassinate Garibaldi.
Two thousand volunteers had been recruited IN
Greece for Garibaldi. Garibaldi's agent in London
is engaged raising battalion of 800 men for him.
Already 500 names had been received, and they
were of men of means and the highest respectable
ity. Garibaldi continued to recOnnOter the Nea-
poEtan Littoral The preparations for war in
Sardinia were progressing with activity. The
Notifications Of Bologna have been made formld-
able, and Placentia is now frst-rate stronghold.
The old gun founderies in Lucs and Florence had
been revived, and France had furnished 50,0 O0
rifles from the Government arsenals. The report
that Austria would not suffer any further reyolu-
tionary proceedings in Italy is contradcted, and it
is said that on the anniversary of the Emperor's
birth equality in civil and political matters is to be
proclaimed for all Austrian subjects of whatever
creed. We have nothing later from Syria. The
wheat harvest had partially commenced in the
south of England, and the crops were reported
good. The weather, however, continued wet and
unsettled, and hot sunshine was muci, needed.
The Times announces that Lord Stanley of Aldery
will succeed Lord Egin as z, stmaster General.
Breadstuffs were firm, and a further advance is
quoted. ConSols 92s for money, and 80 for ac-
count.
The steamer Fulton, bringing dates of the
3d. three days later than the adversely the Africa,
was intercepted at Cape Race at 6 O'clock last
evening; but we have no political news by her.
There was further advance in the price of bread,
stufs. Consols 925 @93 for money, and 93093.

THE SICK MAN OF AUSTRIA.

The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria seems
permitted to live only that he may prove the truth
of the old Latin maxim, that he whom the gods
mean to destroy they first make mad. From the
beginning Of the year 1859 he has done nothing
but deliberately trample under foot every chance
that was offered to him to save himself and
the Austrian Empire. TIE sudden attack on
Piedmont with portion only Of his forces-the
supeiseding of Marshal Hess in the command Of
the army by the Emperor and his clique
the irresoution which led TO the battle of Soterino
the sudden conclusion Of peace at the very mo-
ment when the French had arrived before his
strongest positons-the obstinate refusal of all
concessions in the interoal organization of the En-
pire until it was too late, form an urequaled Sc
res Of foolish blunders to be committed by ono
individual in so short time.
But, as luck would have it, Francis joseph bad

Washington Hunt presided over the proceedings
of the Convention that dominated Bell and Everett.
Some admiring friend having named bin as a can
didate for the yice-Presidency, Mr.. Hunt declioed
the honor, and among ether reasons said that hs
desired to be lett free to act in the canvass as 10
might prefer, without embarrassments or commit
meDts He dwelt upon the advantage Of being LETT
at liberty TO act independently, and reiterated his
wish 10 be III embarrassed by anything that might
interfere with the lire of effective labor which he
wss disposed to adopt. What be meant was
puzzle at the time; but it is now all clear. At
that uOmeDt be knew well enough that no Bel
ard Everett Electoral ticket would be run in New
York, if he could prevent it, and that the game in
the end would be to t,ans}er the entire body Of
Wig ard American votes over to Douglas. This
vas Hunts Intention at the outset this is what be
meant by effective action; and he refused to have
ANYTHING to do with the Union movement in the
State until be was certain this intention would not
be ibterfered with. We should be glad to know
from Gov Hunt himself the precise moment it
was he consented to take hand 10 that movement,
AID what were the conditions precedent. The
truth, if be W ,uld confess it, taken in contrast
with bis present pretended support of Bell and
Everett, would make even bis ex Excelency blush.
The fact is, he never meant to support Bell and
Everett, or any other Union Candidates, at all He
went into the Uriop movement Only when he had
brought oser enough Others to insure the adoption
Of hi. policy. What he said in the Baltimore
Convention about Independent, uoeme prassed
action meant that he bad determined to~support
Dougas His fidelity to this purpose is equaled
OILY by the success with which he has wheedlsd
some and deceived others, who have uoty yet fouad
out that this was his game from the very start.

HUGH PORRRs,

Ii il not easy to credit the statement orpinat;su
with correspondent oftbe London Esps. that Carl
badi has appointed Col. Hugh Forbes to the DOM.
mand Of the fortress Of Melszzo. Among the otbar
qualities which fs the great Italian chiefsain for
commander, is the power Of discrimination which
enables him TO choose fcient instrument, for tbs
work he has in baud The right man in the rig,t
place is evidently bis practice whether he bas M ADJ
il his maxim or not. He has surrounded bimss6
with men of ability as well as bravery, and o. III.
rare occasions 10 which be has been called upon 70
exercise severity among those associated with him.
be has shown himself quick to rebuke aay want Of
integrity. From him, we are sure, traitor would
receive no mercy, and we forced TO doubt there
ere, that he has made the appointment we allads
O, or else he is ignorant Of the character Of tho
man to whom he has given 80 marked proof Of
bis confidence.
No one who remembers the John Brown tragedy
Of last year. car forget the part which this man
Forbes took in it. He had been the trusted cor
fidant of the brave old man who suffered on the
gaows for acts which the other wanted the cOur-
age to share with him. He entertained the paas
of his friend so long he was paid for it, but a.
soon az the bottom Of the purse was reached al
his interest ceased. Disappointed in receiving
money, he fell to abusing those whom be professed
10 believe were responsible for John Browns pe-
cuniary engagements, with q virulence, peril
nacity, and temper so unmsnly, that in private
circles he became an unmitigated nuisance long
before the public knew anything Of him. AND
he Lursed his wrath and bis malice; and whom
the time came that he could deal blow to which
there could be no return be struck home. 10 the
confusion of that tine of cowardly panic, of sense
less suspicion. and malicious misrepresentation,
Forbes turned up, and directly or Indirectly, 1t
matters rot which, deluged the public press with
letters and correspondence casting doubt and srs-
picou upon the characters of men Innocent o. even
an, know ledge of Brown, and calculated, by their
inpeniously -contriyed hints and Instructions, to
COMPASS the death of the men who bad not yst had
tri,l, as certainly as if he had tied the hangmans
bnot about their necks. The supposed soldier had
before been proved to be a coward; the trusted
companion, it was LOW evident, was Only spy,
ready to turn traitor to men who had net injured
him. that he might wraak bis vel geaLce upon 9TH
ers, who, innocent of the charges be would have
urged against them, were guilty simply Of refusing
his xoIbitant demands fer money.
Such i, the man whom Gen. Garibaldi has put.
if the story may be believed, into place of mill.
tary power and trust. While Messina is quiet it
would be well that the General should look to the
correspondent ce which his subordinate may have
with the Neapoltans. If the garrison is called
upon to do battle, he had better provide another
officer. Traitors and towards, dangerous always.
are especially go in times of revolution.
