The expeditionary vessel, which had
taken her papers for Malta, had put out
to sea two days previously. Gen. Gar
ibaldi joined the vesselimmediately after
ward, and she, instead of proceeding to
Malta, went to Sicily. The Piedmontese
Government made evry possible protest
against this act of General 0aribalbi
which may involve the new Italian State
in serious difficulties.
General Garabaldi, being in connec-
ton with the committee in London un-
dertaking the collection of English
subscriptions for Sicily, had, in order TO
replace the arms which he feared would
be seized by the Sandman Government,
received other arms, which had not pas
sed through Piedmont.

Garibaldi's expedition will unite off the
Island of Capraja; they will then direct
their course towards Sicily

MAzzINI AND KING VICTOR EMMANUEL.
The following is the text of the procla-
nation addressed by Mazzini to the
Sicilians
Sicilians-When I, almost thirty years
ago, inscribed on the banner OF young
Italy the word Unity : when | said that
popular instruction might expel Aus
tria from Lombardy, and overthrow the
thrones of the despots Of Florence,
Rome and Naples, practical men laughed
at me for thinking of impossible dreams,
and declared as a Utopian scheme what
is now the most ardent wish of every
Italian-the political unity of that pc
ninsula.
Facts have justified my assertions ; the
revolutions of 1848 have proved thai
not a throne, even when supported by
foreign bayonets, could stand against the
will of the people: the events which
have taken place in Italy during the las
twelve months clearly show that tina
unity will be no longer dream, but
reality, when the people who still groar
: in chains give strong and fresh impulse
TO events, and resume vigorous initia
tive.
Sicilians! Be you the first; shov
that you have not degenerated since tn
= days of your ancestors. Revolution
permanent in Sicily, says old Europe
let it be once more right, and let this tim
be the last Let instruction spread fror
one end to another of your island; igh
e like heroes, as you are in the habit c
doing, and you will be victorious.
The government of the Bourbons hay
IS ing been broken down, we will proclaim
a that which Central Italy has alread
IS chosen; the only one that can be Gale
It Italian, that of the brave and gallar
re King. Let us, therefore, inscribe on on
r. banners the word annexation
y Before being a republican | was
n favor of unity, for it appeared to n
re that republic alone could lead to it.
e, was mistaken. Victor Emmanuel mac
or Italy progress toward that object;
of will lead her to it, if the people W
e, assist him. l thus sacrifice old ide
of to old principles; and with you, Stellar
and with all the other people Of Il
le. Italian peninsula, who will hencefor
on form only one nation-with you | CT
be Long live Victor Emmanuel, King
le- Italy!
ior Sicilians, the hour has struck. In t
act name of Italy, to arms!
