and has landed in Sicily, with portion of
tho force under his command. That he had a
hard run for it, and narrowly escaped being taken
At the last moment, may be inferred from the fact
that of his two steamers, the Lombdrdo and Pie9e-
ggoate one was captured and the other sunk at
the mouth Of the port at which the landing was
effected. The men, with their arms and ammuni-
ton, got safe TO shore-while the interpostion OF
the English Admiral prevented the Neapoh'anS
from bomharding the town in which they found
shelter and n welcome. Once upon terra trina,
fine Piedmontese leader appears to have made good

have occupied all the more important positions on
tbo Island except MeSsina and Palermo, and at
tho latest accounts, was in full march for the
1otter Mace where theinelligence of his approach
had occasioncd fresh outbreak OF the people
In addition TO these accounts from the immediate
and ORIGINAL seat of the insurrection. we hear
of a rising in Calabria, whittier the re-
nainder of the expedition is supposed TO nave
directed IFS course, and that GARIBALDl Lieu-
tenant Colonel MEDICI was about TO follow him
with an additional force of six thousand men.
How much of this intelligence is mere rumor ana
how much is actual fact, we shall have to wait
tbn arrival of another steamer before we can GER
toinlv know. One week seems to be a short time
in which to work such mighty changes. The
only facts which admit of no question are, that
GRmALpI is in Sicily, and that the revolution Is
making GOOD progress. There is, perhaps, as lit
tie occasion to doubt the effect which these facts
are said to have produced upon the government
and people of Naples The Royal family, it is re-
ported, were making active preparations for imme-
diate flight in case matters grew worse, while the
people were upon the eve of a general rising. In
this hour Of extremity, the King is said to have
anpealed to the other Governments OF Europe Tor
protection and assistance. Whether that appeal
will be attended with any results remains to be
seen. The deposed ARCH-DuKES, the Pope, and
the EMPEROR Of Austria, who alone would be
prompted bv interest TO lend him their aid, are
powerless for any such purpose. They cannot
even helm themselves The ARCH-DUKEs cannot
recover their own lost dominions; the POPE is
totterinr upon the throne of ST. PETER, and
Austria will hardly dare to move with Venetia in
her path. and Hungary upon her back. Russia
has shown no disposition TO depart from the policy
of non-intervention. which she has heretofore
adopted in the affairs of Italy. England openly
svmpathizes with the revolution, and France has
not only no motive 10 interfere, but every induce
ment to stand aloof Apart from the fact that the
Government of Naples has treated with contempt
the friendly warnings aud counseis of France, for
LOUIS NAPOLEON to interfere would be not only in
consistent with his past conduct and pledges-t
would he to surround his throne and dynasty
once more with those very dangers, to escape
which, he is supposed by many to have originated
the Italian war. The Italians would never for
give him if, through his interposition, the insur-
rection in Sicily should be suppressed. A similar
consideration will probably prevail TO prevent VIC
TOR EMMANUEL from taking any active steps to re-
press the enthusiasm of his subjects in behalf Of
the insurgents. ANY stringent measures adopted
for that purpose could not fail to weaken, if they
should not totally destroy, his personal popularity
so deeply do Italians throughout the Peninsula
sympathise with each other in their struggles 10 be
free-so profoundly has the sentiment of nation
ahty impressed itself upon the Italian heart. The
people of Lombardy, of Tuscany, of the Duchies
and the Legations have made the cause of the
Scilians their own cause, for the success of which
they are willing TO contribute of their substance
and, if need be, shed their blood Hence the alac-
rty with which volunteers have focked from every
quarter to the standard of GARIBALDI, and will fol-
low him to the field. Hence, too the very dila.

dinian Government TO prevent thesailing Of Carl

prevent its landing. The truth is the Government
dare not stand in the way of the popular sympa
thy and enthusiasm which the Sician insurrec
ton has called forth. VIcroR EMMANUEL dare no
do it-nor Count CAvoUE. 1t is by no means Ger
tain or probable that either of them dissent a.
heart from the general feeling OF the people. Fol-
the former the success Of the Sicilan insurgents
promises apother kingdom-a fresh accession OIL
territory and of power; for the latter, it promises
the realization Of the object of all his policy and
the labor of his life-the union of Italy. Such
being the disposition of the Italian people, and Of
the Governments most interested in the present con-
dition of affairs in the Peninsula-we may rea-
sonably conclude that if GARIBALDI had MOI
already accomplished everything he is reported to
have done, at the time he is said to have done it
he has accomplished tsince-that the news in other
words, has only anticipated the facts. The fur
Their intelligence which may be expected by the
next steamer will, therefore, be looked for with
more than usual interest and hope-interest to
know the truth, and hope that the sequel may
prove to be all that the beginning has led us to
expect.
