neni has nowhere any mole troops 10 spare. Sicily
alone absorbs 40 600. IL is said that the project has
already been entertained 10 transfer the headquarters
in Sicily from Palermo to Messna, account of the
greater security afforded there by the powerful fort
GARIBALDTs MOVEMENT IN SARDINIA AND
ENGLAND.
The correspondent of The London Daily Neo',
writing from Turin under date Of May O. rays:
"Garbaldis expedition to the rescue OF Sicily pnts
the Government into a most difficult position. On one
sde Count Cayour is accused of having trled 10 pre-
vent the departure of the gallant General by selzlng
the arms defined for his band and oy taxing Such
measures as forced them To steam OIL without having
completed all their preparations one portion OF ,e a
nutrition having been left behind. On the otner h',u
C8nofar the Neapolitan Emhassaaor, accuSes .io
Cabinet Of guilty connivanee with the piis VI :no
pirntes az he calls them, since, according 10
and yatel kings and governments have the exclusive
MONOPOLY Of making war and must, In the common in
terest of all kings and governments prevent ter suo

I" According to those oldestablshed authorities on
pnbc law the Emperor Of Austria may OF course SEND
recruits TO the King of Naples in Government steam
err for the oppression Of Sicily but if Count Cayour
does not prevent Garibaldi from collecting band OF
larVe-hesred patriots for the defense OF freedom IN
Sicily he has committed act OF open hostility, winch

authorized. - . -, -,

be succeed in landing either in Sicily or on the coast OF
Calabria, we may be certain that war becomes una

and Naples must lead 10 a crlsls.
From The London Ners May1
Mr. Grant Duff has given notice that this evening he
will ask the Solicitor-Generl wheu er his attention
has been drawn to an advertisement which appeared
on Wednesday, announcing thai subscription had
been opei ed in London in ard OF the Scllisns, ana
whether persons in ths country who contributed TO the
fund which was proposedto raise would render the-
selves liable to any legal proceedings Perhaps while
the subject is before the House some one VIII ask the
same learned gentleman whether his attention has oeen
drawn to the fact that Subscriptions have been openly
collected in this country opay the foreign rabble with
which Gen Lamoriciere il 10 reconqner the Romagna
for the Pope; but trust the question stop there
and that 10 will ask whether the persons who have
collected them have rendered themselves haoe " eS
proceedn % in so doing.
Ii rather late in the day call in question the con-
duct Of Englishmen who give little money or even
Themselves TO a nation struggling for Freedom. No
ore now regrets the little we did to aid the Greeks in
winning their independence though, looking at the
present subscription for the Pope one ia struck by the
fact that there should have been IN those days no pro-
uOsa TO make collections Tor the long suncfliB ana III
iured Turk If any persons are inclined to ana the
Sicilian subscription we recommend them 70 send hc
money at once by check posofce order, TO Messrs
Fabbrcoti Brothers, of No. 100 Leadenhali street,
f. G..
The iremarks Of Mr.. Duff, referred TO above, con-
tain some bits of information touching the island of
Sicily and some suggestions concerning English pol
lev. We quote as follows from the report Of the de-
bate in the House of Commons on the evening of
the lIth:
p Mr. Grant Duff, who had given notice of question
upon this subject said be should explain the reasons
why he put it in the fewest possible words IL
might be asked why he did not rather put
question with respect to the recruiting in Ire
land that was going for the troops OF the
Pope. His answer was a very simple one-that
recruiting perfectly illegal that he could only
suppoee the why the Government did not inter-
fere to put a stop TO it that, while other countries
were sending tb sweepings Of their jas to reinforce
the cut'hroas OF Perugia they might allow the exam
pie be followed in Ireland. But the Siclllans were
really fighting for noble cause, which, az lar as pos
siIe sLoulI he untainted by any ilegllity. IL the
Government were disposed TO treat the recruiting for
the Pope in Ireland with contempt, they could not so
treat the expedition TO Sicily OF Gen. Garbald' oAr
let him penetrate into the interior Of the island and
the contest would become very serious one indeed.
1t was true that the great towns OF Sicily lying on
the seaboaid would be in the power OF the Neapoh-
tan Government so long as they could Keep the sea-
but it must not be forgotten that there were large
parts of that country most admirably adapted for
ueria tIoors Even in the most fertile districts the
villages stood almost always rocky emnences; they
were built with streets, and altogether they
were Of that character that mere handful of men
could defend them against better troops than could besen
against them by the King Of Sicily If this turned out
a long struggle, the attention of Europe would be
drawn very much to the subscription which was get
ting up in this country. Not that he believed that
subscription would ever amount 10 any sum that would
he very considerable assistance to the Sican cauee
but would he go considerable at least attract
attention; and if there was anything illegal in II, he
thought it wise and proper that the Government should
declare it TO be - Our position with regard to Sicily
was q very peculiar one-for two reasons: In the
fret place not only in France, but over the whole Con-
tnen We were suspected OF having views of our own
with regard to Sicily. Now, although our emporaryoc
cupation of it might be OF immense advantage to the
land-although itwoud soon recoyerts prosperity and
become again the gTanary Of the Mediterranean, yet
be was perfectly that before five years had passed
the English rule would become unpopular, and
the country would become the greatest possible
burden and nusance TO U.S. There was another reason
why We ehould disavow all conniyance with illegal
assistance given to the Sieilians. 1t seemed to him
that the true and wise for this country TO take
at the head Of the constitutional Governments in Eu
rope TO strive that the principal Of national bound
airy should be respected and that every nation should
sci le its quarrels within its own territory. They
might be certain that the Liberal in all countries
in the ascendant and if they only prevented one
despotc power from assisting another despot before
long the Liberal party would be able to completely
crush their oppressors.
Mr.. Duff then proceeded to ask whether personscon
ribung money in aid of Sicily would be liable to pros
ccution. In reply, the Solicitor General said no law
would be violated by such subscription
