The false report of last week has now turned up |
true. Garibaldi set sailor steamed, rather
from some port between Genoa aud Spezzia last
Monday night-probaby TO Sicily, possibly to some
point on the Neapolitan coast. The most exagge
rated accounts state that there went with him. or
were to meet him at sea, FIVE other vessels, max
ing in all an expedition OF three thousand men,
provided with twenty cannon, abundant provis-
ions, camp equipage, and handsome money sup

quality. II is certain that Garibaldi, with some
faithful followers young MANN among them n'''

Cavour very likely would have preferred to KEEP
back Garibadi, although his presence at home
was making discomfort for the Minister. As fol
Victor Emanuel, if he were not king, he would
have gone off with his friend himself. There is a
real human sympathy between the private and the
royal volunteer in the Italian cause. And Carl

His watchword, accepted also by Mazzini, is
''Italy and Victor Emanuel" For appearance s

As to the condition Of the insurrection in Sicily,
We have no accurate information. The official
journal of Naples declares that the news from the
Island Is OF the most cheerful nature: first there
has never been any serious disturbance there's Sec
ondy, the serious disturbances that have agltated
the island are quite gone BY In fact any time for
month past, according to the official classifying
journal, the insurrection has always been in the
past tense. Omitting now details and any attempt
10 compare, st, and coordinate the various reports
from the island, this much is certain: that a
month after the first outbreak the instruction holds
Its own against some $4,000 Neapoltan troops.
The other hopeful fact is that Government has sent
all the force 1t can spare from the main to the
island. AS for a cooperating instruction on the
main, not much hope is TO be set upon it. There
rs undoubtedly chance of a rising in Calabra, and
There some uneasness in the City of Naples: but
the deviish policy of BOmDa continued by his son,
has driven from the country or imprisoned nearly
MI who were fit to be leaders in such a movement;
the few who remain are too closely watched by the
police TO be able TO begin acting in concert; and for
the rest {" Of Naples we must not disguise the fact
